Few
believed that Lamborghini could ever top the Countach,
the embodiment of eighties excess. Its successor,
the Diablo was at the same time softer edged yet harder
hitting, and during its twelve year life span exemplified
the state of the supercar art. Always outrageous,
always looking for more power, Lamborghini knew that
as Ferraris became ever more civilised, they were
carving a more secure niche for themselves. A used
Diablo will require deep pockets, steady resolve and
an owner who can live with its foibles.
The
definitive supercar? When that V12 bellows in anger,
its about as definitive as you'll ever need.
