My neighbour in Italy used to have many Lambos, including the spectacular purple Diablo SE Jota. I was a teenager at the time, those cars were really striking to me. The Jota, the SV, the red Diablo, the black Countach. When you mentioned the name of the collector (Righini, GH sounds as in Lamborghini in italian) I realised your car is EXACTLY the car I was running to see from the fence when he was passing by my house, the roaring engine, the whining of the gearbox. The same car I was watching from my bedroom window while he was entering his house's gate. This is insane. Thanks for revamping those memories. Good luck with that awesome purple lady.
What a great remembrance.
Wow, that must’ve been spectacular
What a shame the channel didn’t like or respond to your comment from 2 yrs ago. A possible first hand account of a car that he is calling a family heirloom.
Small world. Love it.
Diablo SE still looks better than any new Lambo
Absolute Postercar from my Childhood!👍
Not really but they do look cool. I was born in 82 so they are special.
I do like the way these look. I’m waiting for some car company to bring back pop-up headlights. I think they would look really cool with modern technology and LEDs.
@@codyhaar1966 Ares Design Panther! New car with Pop-Up Lights😉
Nah but it is beautiful
SE30 (non-J) is my favorite Lambo of All-time. Black with all green alcantara interior. Magnesium cam covers and lightweight internals. The lightest weight Diablo at over 400lbs lighter. It really was a Diablo made by a different world.
The SE30 is in a jamiroquai video. Travelling without moving. Fell in love straight away
Back in around 1997, I was driving a truck near the Silverstone race circuit in the UK. I heard this noise above the sound of the truck, looked in my wing mirror and there was a purple Diablo SE30 Jota. I wound my window down and he gave it the beans - the sound was incredible. Within seconds he was a dot in the distance and I could still hear it. Magical.
John, thank you for bringing us this footage. I believe this to be the only in-depth coverage of an SE30 Jota anywhere on RUclips. It is such a cool car! I'm ashamed to admit I didn't realize this until only a few years ago. As someone who was a teenager in the 90s, and who played the Need For Speed video games in the late 90s, I was under the impression that the Diablo SV is the top of the line, best version of the Diablo. I remember watching Jamiroquai's video to Cosmic Girl where he drove an SE30, thinking and wishing he had been driving an SV. I didn't know I was so wrong at the time. In 2012, I came across a SE30 at a Cars & Coffee event in Colorado and nobody was paying attention to it - everybody was swarming around other cars (I still have a picture of its license plate and I can send it to you if you want to try track it down).
Yep, very underated! Such a cool Supercar! My favourite Diablo... Ehm! Funfact: There's no Diablo Badge on a SE30. Very special car!😉
sv not yet existed when cosmic girl was out
@@powersliding Nope. SV was first showcased in 1995. Cosmic Girl came out in late 1996.
Interesting to read this, because I did all you said back in the 90s playing NFS 3 with the Diablo SV and I also was a fan of Jamiroquai so that was one of my favourite music videos ever. However I wished the SE30 was in nfs instead of the SV. SV was cool but the design, rims, front and sideskirst were more sexier to me in the SE, the even got some design touches from it for the Diablo Roadster. I still want they include the SE30 in some racing games, Assetto Corsa has it as a mod, but I really want Gran Turismo include it the next game or at least some mid 90s diablo beause of the accuracy that the games has usually. Really good to read your comment, because I identify myself with your story 100%.
@@DaGhostChild SV looks better and "sportier" though.
I was lucky enough to drive an SVR on trade plates on the road for 48 hours 30 years ago! Lucky I didn't
get locked up. what a beast of a car.
Probably the coolest Lamborghini ever!😎
nothing i love more than deep diving and learning about all these special lambo models keep them coming.
Yesss! I’ve been anxiously awaiting this video. Love this content, John. Keep up the great work!
I've been dreaming of a Jota for so long- awesome to see you make a video about this legendary Diablo. Thank you for posting!!
This is probably my favorite lambo ever followed up by the Monterey Edition Diablo’s. Thanks for the awesome video John!
When u stand next to a Diablo and c its size u r in awe! It's a big, wide car!
Great videos John. I am curious, are you wearing a seat belt?
I love your passion! 2nd to none and you should be very proud of what you have built with your family. Very inspiring indeed. Congratulations.
I love this channel. I’m glad RUclips algorithm suggested it to me. I always liked your stories on vinwiki. Keep the videos coming.
Keep it up, good vid. I appreciate this kind of content.
Fantastic Video John!
I prefer this to any Aventador. The car sold at auction looks like a real unicorn. This is better than any Ferrari. I had a 1/18th die cast model of this car. Thank you.
For some reason this is hands down my ultimate favorite exotic ever. I have a few models myself and I love the one with the scoops on the rear. Thank you for sharing this . Congratulations on all your successes
That was a nice little video John. Fantastic looking car too and super rare. I love the SE30 paint in the sun, however it looks very different in the shade. The Diablo is an old school Lamborghini and you get all the positives and negatives of that era.
Man I love these vids. As a kid in the 80s I was obsessed with Lambos obviously not as obsessed as you lol but its really cool hearing these stories and histories about these cars. I really loved the one with your dad at the factory. So fkn cool
i love hearing the history of these cars!
The first Lamborghini I've ever seen was this car! I fell in love
Those final 20 seconds were awesome dude !
John you would of been the best story telling pirate ever!!!! You have incredible stories that make people learn to dream again. Please more stories now!!!!
Thanks for the pull at the end!
I looked up the word “ Radical “ in the dictionary and Yeep!!! They showed a glossy picture of a nice Purple Metalíc 30th Ann. Lamborghini Diablo 👿 SE Jota. Cool !!!!! 👍
Really enjoyed listening while you drove , it is so alive, you were alive, magnificent in colour and noise and detail, phenomenal video thank you, I listened with my headphones on , one of the best sounding engines ever if not the best
My favorite of the Diablo variations. This and the F50 are my unicorn cars that I'd love to own someday, somehow.
I saw a Lamborghini Diablo this same color and Ferrari F50 next to each other at a car show 94-95-ish. I'd like to add F-14 Tomcat to the list as a "personal Aircraft."
:-D
Diablo SE-30 is the king of kings, period.
It's nice to see cars that have full history and stories behind them
Wow. What a car!. Great story as always!
Very cool. There's a local Purple Jota floating around Calgary, same owner for many years... Would love to own it and experience it one day
Man that purple is awesome.
Now this is my dream car, what a beautiful machine specially this one with blue alcantara interior and the Jota kit, man... This car is just unique.
I remember seeing this car drive round in Dade years ago this video confirmed it. Dope video bro
After an F40, this would be my 2nd dream car. That colour combo is the best too
I'd have this over an f40 every time
I love the SE 30 Jota,, I would love the yellow one with yellow wheels. So cool! Congratulations!!
I have a poster of that one!
Really cool car, love this new drive along review. Complements the stories at HQ. I would love to see a few more of these types of videos.
The Diablo made me a car enthusiast when I was a kid. It has always been one of my favorite cars.
This is my most favorite car ever made!!! In the best color combo ever! Is it on display in Miami? Is there anyplace i can go see it in person?
The absolute best car ever made, no exceptions, there's is nothing better than the Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota.
I truly love this car, and had knowledge of the kits built by the Lamborghini F1 division. It is a shame it is a little underrated because just as yourself, I have an enormous fascination for the SE30 J. Actually, I'd type in the car on the search bar in hopes to get a closer look at the inside and it's revving/exhaust notes. Kudos for actually providing a story regarding this beautiful car. Not going to lie, I hope it stays somewhat "unknown" to actually have a chance in the future to obtain one. This car is the reason I am deciding to stay single and without kids lmao. Such an immaculate piece of Lamborghini history.
The Diablo is the ONLY supercar I'm honestly hype for. Wish they made more in this color. Oh well, maybe I'll do a kitcar one day.
Such an iconic beauty.
Great videos.... No fancy click bait titles... No fancy introductions... Just great stories about great cars....I miss south Fla.....need to get back ...
Awesome story! This car deserves a lot more videos.
stunning car. definetely one on the dream cars to won list
Best Lambo ever made period, the SE30 Jota is on a class of its own. And I am so happy that this one has gone to someone that really loves the car because it signifies something special to him.
I had a Jota in the 80’s. A Laverda Jota. 1000 cc’s triple cylinder Italian super bike which was an absolute beast & the polar opposite to my Ducati SD 900 Darmah in terms of handling & acceleration. A mate bought a Yamaha V-Max which was banned in the US & other markets due to its extreme power & torque figures. The engine, a V4 masterpiece was a tyre slayer.
I Iove this video and thanks for to sharing. I owned a 96vt and I miss it so much. It worked so well too and I even drove it in the snow but that was a one off. The 6.0 is my favourite then the Se30. I wonder how it feels compared to a VT and SV
Please make more rolling shots like at 6:44! I could watch that thing for hours!
This is my dream car, congratulations
Once again great video! I would love your input on a Lamborghini Diablo buyer's guide.
The Countach was always my favorite until that exact car came along. I loved the Diablos when they were introduced, but nothing won me over more so than when I first saw a picture of the Diablo SE 30 in purple metallic.
About 10 or 11 years ago, I was visiting a Lamborghini dealership in Atlanta and they had a black Diablo on the showroom floor that had a Jota style hood on it. I couldn't take my eyes off that car. It was gorgeous.
Jesus Christ that's a beautiful car...
There’s nothing like a Jota
I believe there was one of the US spec ones in Southern California years ago
"what’s incredible about these Diablos is that they are extremely well planted"...... well.. they are..... until they are not.
At which point you have to hope there is nothing in the immediate vicinity because you absolutely will not be able to recover it.
The Ultimate Diablo.
Fantastic video, thanks for posting.
Diablo was always my dream car too. Yellow.
Thank you very much for sharing your passion for this Diablo SE30 Jota which is also my favorite car, especially in the anniversary purple with blue interior. I red on different websites that back in 1995 you could order a Diablo SE30 Jota directly assembled from the factory with a 6-speed gearbox (as for a few later SV-R) instead of the traditionnal 5-speed one. I am looking for a photo of the gearbox lever and grid of such a 6-speed gearbox on a Diablo (Jota or SV-R) to see if it's true or a myth. As a Diablo enthusiast, do you have any information? Once again, thank you very much for sharing your passion! 🙂
Any way you can make a PDF of that factory production list of the SE30s you showed in the previous SE30 video? I’d love to enlarge it and frame it on my wall. Thanks man
Compared to some of the Countach's JT has shown us, this Diablo looks much more roomy, more refined and much easier to drive by comparison!
Love this, JT’s JOTA!!
Hey John, is this the exact same spec than the Purple Lamborghini Diablo LO30 featured in Jamiroquai’s -Cosmic Girl music video? That one is number 142/150
love that you are driving around in a circle. this shit is so sweet looking.
My favorit lambo
I’ve got a Jota! A Tojota.. 😏
Please make more content iv been praying you would since I saw you on shmie
Awesome colour and a car 🤯🤯
Beautiful car but I'm curious about the looking at the shifter between shifts? Genuine curiosity. Never driven one so I dont know.
Diablos were the last BEAUTIFUL model - love my red Roadster
Wow! - Let me exclaim again: WOW! In my opinion the Jota is the holy grail of Chapter Diablo of Lamborghini. - Definitely my favourite Diablo and in that colour combination too.
I had the July '95 issue of Performance Car magazine which did a great feature on the Diablo Jota. Check this quote from motoring journalist Mark Walton: "Adrenaline has widened my eyes to the point where I feel as though I can no longer blink" :D :D - A truly heroic car.
Beyond that magazine, I was starved of information on the Jota for many years until internet access became mandatory for me by about 2001; ever since then I have tried to build up some kind of archive on the Diablo Jota. The ones I have found: Number 132 is that beautiful blue one you mentioned. Number 25 is a purple one sold by CATS Exotics (around 2010 I think). Number 109 is a RHD yellow one living in the UK as is Number 136 in purple. I have collected images of numerous others but I have no way of confirming what number out of the 150 SE30s they are or if they are indeed genuine Jotas, since I've seen a couple of SVs on the street kitted out to look remarkably like SE30's (wheels were the only tell).
Years ago I had read that of the 28 Jota kits that were built, only between 12 and 15 of the kits found their way into a car; that information is a decade old now so I get that there's plenty of room for the Jota story to evolve between then and now; I don't doubt that the number of installs could be up to 26 by now.
Another great story of a great car...
Just Beautiful
Beautiful!!
What years or versions got the fixed glass Nissan headlights?
Still can't decide which version I want more. This Jota, or Diablo GT :)
Really interested what would be the comparison between these two.
Love to have a Miura Jota!
This car was all over magazines here in europe when i was kod in 90s same colour.
Every time I watch this video I feel so sad that he wasn't able to keep it. That's my dream car aswell, so far ahead of anything else, that I can't imagine how it feels to get it and have to let it go. heart breaking!
Albert here: It's really really really hard to drive. I thought John was exaggerating when he said they are difficult to drive until I drove the Verde Metallizato Jota, and saying its tough to drive is an understatement. They're jumpy, the clutch is grabby, the surge like crazy. Driving at low speed is boredline impossible. The only way to drive it, is give it a boot full of gas, and GO.
So this is basically even more powerful than the Lamborghini gt and gtr ? , crazy 💀👌🎵🎶♥️
So was this a rear wheel drive car ? Or was that only on the Diablo vt models?
I LOVE cars. Grew up working at car dealership. Would read Robb Report magazines to learn prices and rarity. If I win the lottery this is the first car I would scour the earth to buy. Followed by $1 MIL Singer Porsche 911. And convert 88 BMW M5 to Tesla Battery with ludicrous mode.
I sat in an SE30 once. The clutch pedal felt like doing a leg press lol.
There was a time in the 2000s where I think I had every photo and video of the Diablo SE30 Jota on the Internet! It's the most beautiful and really best car of them all! It'll never be "too extreme" - it's the pinnacle of what a car should be! All the right sounds, no driver aids to get between the driver and the car and that 90s blue Leather Alcantara interior really sets it apart from others of its era. I don't think I'll ever get one now so I just hope those who do have them appreciate them for what they are - one of the last and the best raw supercar for someone who wants to experience driving at its best. I read the idiot that owned that pale blue one put power steering in it! Seriously - if you can't handle it then go to the gym - the problem is with you, not the car!
Best car ever made!
Ever since I saw dumb and dumber the diablo has been a dream car for me. It’s a tough choice between the f40 and diablo.
Awesome
I want a RHD one please
I see why there's multiple videos on John's channel for the SE30. I never really got into this particular Diablo until now since I was raised on mid-2000's supercars. What can it really compare to other than an F40?
It's faster than the McLaren F1, Porsche GT1, Ferrari F40/F50, Bugatti EB110 & the Nissan GTR "Godzilla" it goes from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds has a top speed of 249 mph (400 kmh) with 600 hp. The car that is similar to the Diablo Jota is the Koenigsegg Jesko
Sooooo Cooool!
Why do the SE30 have the small window as opposed to the full window on the regular diablo?
For weight saving. But somes ordered them with powered windows and even A/C wich is non sense as this car is meant to be extreme.
Thank you for sharing. Not my kind of dream car but an amazing car nonetheless. Probably belongs on a track not the street.
Bravo
Ur a phuckin legend . Thank you
Must be soo frustrating to tell someone how much you like the JOTA and have them say "I don't like STAR WARS"
WOW!!!
Great information , Great video!!! I love how he can go from smiling and talking to when he pushes the gas, you can see the energy and the focus andddd then, back to smiling when he gets off the gas. Love it. I have that in my straight piped TR as well . I just either stop talking or turn down the radio. Only music i need is behind me :)
