The '''Lamborghini Diablo''' ("devil" in [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]]) is a [[sports car]] built by [[Lamborghini]] in [[Italy]] and introduced in [[1990]], as an evolution of the [[Lamborghini Countach]]. At a base price of approximately US$ 240,000, it had a top speed of 325 [[km/h]] (202 mph). It came with two seats, mid-engined V12, 5-speed manual transmission, manual windows, and a manual seat adjuster.
Compared to more recent sport cars of the same category, both newer Lamborghini models and other brands like [[Ferrari]], the engine sits slightly higher due to its design - the engine was mounted over the rear wheels but with the driveshaft emerging from the rear of the engine. This required a second shaft to be mounted in order to transmit the power forward to the [[transaxle]]. If Lamborghini hadn't taken this factor into consideration, it could have raised the overall [[center of gravity]] of the vehicle. To compensate, the Countach's wheel-track was increased to compensate which made the car significantly wider. Since the Diablo is derived from the Countach, it has these same issues.
