2000 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT Review - I Drive My Need For Speed Hero Car And Get A Bit Emotional
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2021
- In today's video, after 25 years of waiting I finally get to drive my ultimate childhood dream car - The Lamborghini Diablo. This one is a 2000 6.0 VT, one of the first Lamborghinis to benefit from Audi influence - but did that ruin the raw experience I was expecting?

"Quirks and features". Somewhere, in California, a bloke in dad shorts is dialing his lawyer.
After he takes the time to put a t-shirt on over his t-shirt.
"THIS.... is a cease and disist letter."
When you say bloke....
The type of guy who puts on two t-shirts before getting on his dirty knees to call his lawyer.
LOL
“If I get a speeding fine in this car I’m framing it” - classic 😂😂😂
I would frame it too and put it in my will that they should include it on my tombstone.
😂😂👏🏾❤️🔥💜
If you go above the limit by 30mph you get banned, so please do this. What's your local police station? I'll give them a ring.

@ian2armannduccio Please spare everyone else your misery. There is a place in the Netherlands where they'll even help you off yourself 😊
That was a pleasure to ride along with you realising your dream.
Happy you could join me
@@JayEmmOnCars I hope you buy one. It's been my hero car for the same reason.
Amazing
@@JayEmmOnCars get one
I love this review. Emotional, honest and heartfelt. But most of all, this is also my boyhood dream car. Theres special cars and then there's a Diablo.
Biggest bull in our childhood! 😊
The Diablo is for sure something else... by far my favorite car
Me clicking on this video: "Am I going to see this jovial Englishman cry in a Lamborghini?
Yes. Cheers mate
Pleasure
I've been brought to tears by cars and motorcycles a few times over the years,admittedly for slightly different reasons.😉
@@JayEmmOnCars Much abliged :-) privately appriciated, not dubiously considered... :-) VIVA ITALIA, Pro Patria, Viva Automobiles LAMBO, LAMBO, e Ferruccio il contadino :-P :-D :-)
😂😂😂
The wheel arch shown on 6:15 is actually a design detail that appears in many cars designed by Marcelo Gandini
Love how RUclips thinks the middle of this is the perfect place to show an advert for an electric fiat 500
Couldn’t really be less appropriate if they tried
I got an advert for using the Dutch trains... On the day they're having a massive breakdown and are unable to drive at all.
Love how RUclips not giving me any adverts in the middle..
That’s the best review for me. The Diablo is also my all time dream car. Fantastic thanks.
My pleasure
I got to drive a Gallardo a few weeks ago and man alive the back is skittish when braking from higher speeds. How does it compare?
@@danwilliamson1991 It felt very stable to me but it doesn't have the braking power of the Gallardo - was a weak point of the car
Also the best Lambo of them all.
Cool Diablo on my Instagram page @super_cylinders_fe
Thank you very much for the extended "Have a Listen to This" piece at the start. Justified.
My absolute pleasure
Your emotion around the vehicle was clear throughout the video, glad you were able to meet your hero and it lived up to your expectation. Keep up the fantastic work
You were concerned that you wouldn't do a good job on this. In fact, this was wonderful. A great tribute to an iconic car. A true Lambo: spectacular looking, utterly impractical, extremely fast, thrilling to drive. And in a proper Lambo purple. It's great to see you realising your dreams.
Thanks Roger, glad you enjoyed
The Diablo has always been my favorite Lambo, so I know where you're coming from. Made in a golden era for supercars.
Late 90s were the best time
Same. The Diablo and all of its variants is my favorite lambo. Being a 90s kid, who played a ton of racing video games made me appreciate this golden era of super cars.
Probably one of the best RUclips automotive videos... in the world!!
A great mix of information, experience - and emotion!!
Thank YOU, James!
Thanks Mark!
It has a manual gearbox, so its wonderful.
Congrats James. You've worked bloody hard to get where you are.
Much appreciated
@@JayEmmOnCars Driving all these exotic cars must be hard work !

It must be so cool to have a RUclips channel where you can simply say “but there’s certain cars I’ve always dreamed of driving”, you mention the name, and someone calls and offers that car to you.
You drove it a very short time and nailed it!! After seven years of ownership (1994 Diablo VT) I can assure you, you will fear it after hitting the redline on a corner! You drove it conservatively keeping the redline out of sight (understandably not your car). I finally removed the front driveshaft after five years ownership, rear wheel drive is the way to go. There is a lot of Diablo misinformation, overall an absolutely fantastic super car for the money! RUclips viewers will be waiting for the Diablo story to unfold (you should get one before the prices hit the sky). Early model Diablo's have slow electric windows but nothing much else is slow about them. Stock exhaust is amazing, the car is incredible! Yeah, fresh tires are very important for overall ride and handling. Get one, your RUclips channel will hopefully reward you.
I did get to hit the redline a few times, but the long gearing made it tricky!
The first two car posters I had as a kid in the late 90’s were a Lamborghini Diablo in gold and a Porsche 993 Turbo in purple.
What a car. VT is so pretty too!
My posters were this lambo and the countach in all white. 😊
RUclips subtitling at the start the video:
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Seems about right.
Yep, that's about right
You absolutely nailed it. Exactly what car enthusiasm is all about: not headline figures or pops&bangs but pure driving fun. Keep it up!
These are still striking cars.
I remember as a kid following a purple Diablo through High Wycombe. It seemed bloody huge at the time. We stopped to speak to the owner, a little Italian guy who used the passenger seat for his golf clubs! He’d had five Ferraris before his Diablo which he described as rather more exciting.
Who wants the same old copy and paste car review with performance figures and the same old yackety yak. You show the real emotion that these cars evoke. It’s not about the numbers it’s about the emotion and the memories. Great review, thanks for the ride.
Thanks Steven, glad you enjoyed it
I have to say the Diablo 6.0 is probably my favourite Lambo of all time...with the Countach QV a close 2nd! The rear wheel arch was shaped to echo that of the Countach. Great vid as always
That's probably the most enjoyable road test I've ever watched.
There's no way to fake real passion like that.
Marvellous.
Thanks Lenny
A Diablo 6.0 VT in purple, literally my childhood poster car, in fact still have the slightly bent poster in my basement 😍
The feelings you showed here were exactly how I would feel in your position. I always picked the Diablo in need for speed 3: Hot Pursuit and had a Yellow SV on my wall as a kid! Also what you said about cars outperforming the Diablo being irrelevant to you is how I feel about my 03 R32 Golf. Newer DSG turbo cars would outperform it but it is by far the more enjoyable drive with the lovely manual box, the mechanical AWD grip and the V6 singing away!
I'm so so happy that you got to drive your hero car and weren't disappointed James. I'll almost definitely never get the chance to see a Nismo 400R let alone drive one, but I think I'd be similarly emotional. What other unicorns are there that you know you'll probably never get the chance to drive if there are any? Fantastic video again!
The normal r33 GT-R is my unicorn car as here in the USA we never got any of the Skylines except for the sedans which were called the Infinity G35/G37 over here.
@@ChampionBlueRacing theres very few here that got imported. To me the r32 is the best of the 3
Fantastic video, I’ve owned one for 10 years black with black interior, amazing car. Not had a speeding ticket but did get a fixed penalty for black number plates! Worth the the £60 for the stealthy look! Keep up the great work James.
The fact that this is 2 years old and I’m still watching over shows the difference between someone doing a review and someone who loves the car from childhood. It’s my hero car bar none . Love it 🙏
As a kid I had about 10 posters of different Diablos plastered around my bedroom. Definitely not a self serving video mate! I loved every second. Really happy for you to finally drive what is also my dream car.
The rear wheel arch mimics the design of the Countach's. The Aventador S was given a similar design feature.
Apparently It was a design signature used by Marcello Gandini. Also incorporated by him in various other concept and production cars incl the Maserati Shamal and Quattroporte IV.
Yes, the Diablo was the replacement for the Countach and both were designed by Gandini.
I wondered how quickly the reason for the arch shape would be posted
I’m assuming / hoping Jay is actually aware and just made the comment to channel his inner Doug a bit more
Fiat Coupe has the same line in the rear wheelarche
Does the Miura already have it? If so, it's much more subtle. I'm looking at pictures and can't decide if I see it or not.
Sometimes meeting your hero is just as great as you hoped it would be. Congratulations!
I am genuinely emotional too! What a wonderful review James! Please never apologise for enjoying your job, everything you were experiencing came through to us. Thanks 👍
My favourite lambo by a big margin, a gated VT roadster for me, I love the design even more with the roof clipped on the back and more headroom and noise. Thank you Mr owner for letting Jay bring us this video from the soul
So glad meeting your hero didn't disappoint you. I'm a bit older than you and my hero car was the Countach S. I first saw a picture of it, a prototype, in Car Magazine. It was wearing black plastic wheel arch extensions. What really impressed me, even back then as a teenager, was the back story the magazine provided through the factory tour. It showed how the car chassis was created out of bits of metal and aluminium tubing being welded and brazed together. Even then it was recognised that this was probably the last of its type. But it struck me how special it was and how special it must be to be able to order a car and know that a dozen craftsmen were making it by hand.
I wonder how many of those able to order one actually appreciated how privileged they were to buy one let alone drive one. You clearly appreciated your privilege.
Always got to appreciate these things or they have no value
that nissan headlights fit so well with the diablo, it simply makes the most beautiful version of the diablo
The Diablo will always be one of the best supercars in my rankings, it just falls in that sweet spot for age and performance where its still fast but not excessively fragile
that rear arch design is actually for drag, modern coaches use it to. the elevated rear of the curve lets air escape and depressurises the wheel well.
Fantastic, just fantastic. True emotion. Just shows what pull cars have to us gear heads.
What a car. I know they say never meet your heros, but I would give one or more limbs to meet this one. I remember hearing Lamborghini Diablo as a kid and automatically wanting one. This became my poster car, replacing my 'Beauty and the Beast' Countach poster.
Now this is a proper Lamborghini.
It's nice to see that when your dream finally became real, it didn't disappoint. It's also nice to see someone genuinely *appreciating* a car like this, as something other than a money penis for a plutocrat.
Indeed, one of the signs of a genuine enthusiast, is that they're not so much driving the car as wearing it. The special feeling that you're not so much operating a machine, rather becoming symbiotic with another organism, is what separates the enthusiast from the mere snob. :)
Excellent! I watch your videos because you make me feel as if I am driving those cars so dont thank me for watching, instead accept my thanks for what you do.
A dream come true, this is one of those cars that on the rare occasion
that you see one, you want to drive it.
Thanks for sharing your dream car experience.
Your best video to date. I'm so happy for you. Such passion and that's what people want/need sometimes.
My dream car is the yellow Murciélago from NFS HP2 (2002). I was 11.
Even 1st takes you past the national speed limit. It does 61 in 1st and 92 in 2nd gear. What a machine.
Dont apologise James that was a cracking video and loved your honesty emotion and your history with the car. One of your best mate.
The Diablo is the last true Lamborghini in my opinion.
Whilst I still respect the NA lamborghinis that are still made I have to agree the Diablo is the last of the old school, and by extension the last of the best
@@Obi-WanKannabis They are too techy these days. A lot of cars are not just Lambo's.
I use to own a blue Diablo VT and when I visited Lamborghini in Italy, the tour guide believed the Diablo to be the King of Lamborghini’s. I regret selling mine and miss it every day
@@mouse5178 I would regret that as well. I'm going to keep my Jaguar XKR X100.
Without VW the Diablo would have been the last Lamborghini period.
"I'm framing it", this was the most special review of this car, loved it
Great vid, mate… what you have, with the Diablo, I have with the Ferrari 288 GTO (1984) 😍
Diablos, especially the SE30, SV and VT 6.0 are one of the most beautiful supercars of all time. Such a timeless beauty
Always a great feeling when you finally get to meet your hero and they don’t disappoint, great video and nice to go on the ride with you!
One of the very few cars to live up to it's namesake.
Yep, 90s supercars are special. Old is gold🤗
This has got to be the best car video of 2021 on all of RUclips. Fantastic job James!
My favourite car with one of the most honest test I’ve seen , love seeing someone who’s loves the car enjoy it . Extremely happy you have driven yours and my dream at last 👌👌
Aww man. Thanks for bringing us along. It's great that you ared not just parroting what everyone else has said. That owner is some kind of awesome for allowing you to drive it. Ever a fan, as yours are some of my favorite videos on here. Keep up the good work, I so appreciate how genuine you are and that you don't seem to have every speech impediment known to man. Always a joy. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you for making me green with envy. My co-all-time favorite super-car, along with the Pantera. Perhaps you could get a drive in one of those one day as well.
An absolute dream car. There is something indescribable about old school Lamborghinis. I drool so much more over these than anything new from the raging bull stable.
You sum up exactly how I feel about this car. Nothing before or since has had an impact like the late Diablo.
The Diablo was The car to drive in the first Need For Speed! I just wish someone would recreate the "in place donut" they did in the video for the Diablo like in the game! That's was incredible!
I love your content James, the quality of your content is ace. You're the only car RUclipsr I watch. This video really made me smile and I'm so glad you were able to drive this beautiful Diablo and it didn't disappoint.
Really appreciate how well you capture the magical sound of these super cars! Pure joy.
The Diablo roadster in exit wounds with DMX was awesome always loved the look of that car , the roadster with those wheels , I’d take that in the SE 30th purple
I think your quote perfectly sums up a dream car:
"A Golf R could be all over this car, no problem. It could keep up with it easy, half the power, but that's not the point"
I recently bought my dream car an R34. In the same vein as that diablo not being the 'exact' car you dreamed of my R34 is a GTT not a GTR, but the joy I get out of seeing that car and driving it is more than any car I could imagine.
Something like a Focus RS or an M5 would obliterate me in any race but I simply don't care. It's my hero, and that's all that matters
Thanks for sharing your hero. So pleased it did not disappoint.We could see your emotion at times.
"Drama Llama" thanks for taking me on a ride in this amazing machine. Enjoyed the video.
You haven't failed us, James. We'd rather see your genuine reaction to driving the car of your dreams, than hear an objective account of it.
This was a great video. Seeing you driving your dream car and a Diablo on top of that is great. I remember having a toy car Diablo and it looked so outlandish and aggressive that the wedge shape is something I adore to this day.
This has to be one of your best videos to date. Raw car guy emotion that we can feel through this video. Fantastic work!
Jay I envy you so much in driving this car ..I could see/feel how emotional you were .I was crying a bit to ,I don't think Ive seen you like this before with a car lol, what a Machineeeee !!!!!!!... Glad you got your dream come true after 25 Years..what a day it must have been
Great, great review James!! Yes you got excited (which you should) but you also delivered loads of practical info. You are the best car reviewer in my opinion. Not just youtube, but anywhere. Great job. Great video. You have a canny knack of telling me all thing I actually want to know and giving some awesome no talk engine sounds when its needed. I never really fancied diablos, but you just made me want one.
Superb video and delivers a genuinely new and very informative take for many people on what is often an overlooked Lambo post Audi's involvement. On a separate note - the wheel arch is designed to mimic the shape of the Countach and has since become a Lamborghini trademark or equivalent of, for example BMW's old kidneys or Hofmeister kink. You can still see it in the current Urus etc...
100 % certain that you were not speeding in this video, however if you were "framed" please put the pics in on of your future videos. ((-:)
"the wheel arch is designed to mimic the shape of the Countach... " I'm glad someone pointed that out, it's by no means a mistake. I also the Diablo's rear deck - although curvier - has elements of the Countach esp. the later QV models.
Great to see you got to drive your dream car.
I know those roads very well and over the years seeing and hearing a Diablo is something special.
This was all the better for your emotion coming through - well done for channeling it in the right way. I find I know much more about a car from how you are feeling not what it feels like
Your choice of shirts makes you an ideal Diablo owner! Awesome car and the 6.0 VT in Gold or maybe a Viola SE30 would be my ideal specs
This is where watching all your videos and then your honesty really pays off. When you find a car that really speaks to you! The emotion really comes across in this video which is epic. For people that could never dream of owning something like that, it gives a tiny taste of how it might feel. If you ever fancy driving a nice 987 boxter with an lsd (how it should have been from the factory) let me know 👍
great review - also enjoyed the podcast you were on - lots more than meets the eye with JayEmm!
Couldn‘t have thought of a better review.. what an experience. My all time dream car as well. Thank you very much!
Very kind, thankyou
You've come a long way mate. Getting more popular every day. Well deserved. Top class reviews by a top class dude who knows what he's talking about. I'm around the same age as you too so I get what you mean when you talk about old racing games and hero cars. Well done man
Love how excited and emotional you are throughout this video! A truly amazing example this. For me THE hero car was, is and always will be the F40.
I love your videos, i can tell how passionate you are about cars, and its refreshing to watch a car review that isent influenced by anything other than the how the car drives, great content 😀 👍
Excellent to see both a great review and you having such a superb time! Really enjoyed watching this
Great review! Brings back memories. I got to drive a bright yellow one all the way from southern France to Switzerland back in the mid 90's. Through a weird coincidence I knew a guy who had one and had ordered another one to be picked up in Switzerland. So I got to drive most of way there. Somewhere around Lyon I took it close to maximum speed on a five lane highway. Even a five lane highway starts looking rather narrow at that speed. The car does have immense power but it handled very well generally. The only minor scares I had were on a wet surface while accelerating. One thing I should mention is that if you drive it properly, the fuel tank will be empty very quickly. I had built a quite sophisticated model of a Countach as a kid, and I clearly remembered it having two fuel tanks. In the diabolo, I was initially trying to figure out how to switch over to the second fuel tank when it finally hit me that there was only one. That was quiet a shock because we had only driven around 200 miles since filling the tank. I think the Diabolo hits the sweet spot between beautiful classic design and a modern driving experience. I hope you get to have one one day as you'd be a great keeper.
how’s this channel only got 155k subs??! always had some of the best, top tier automotive content
Excellent question
That start sequence has so many gear changes it's like an out take from Fast and Furious 😎
Thank you SO MUCH James......I got quite emotional too.....just "washing the windows to my soul"...... such an ABSOLUTE
D R E A M car for me too......I maybe PREFER the look of a pure early LP400 Countach, but THIS car is something I could REALLY, TRULY envisage the possibilty of owning one fine day!! Thanks a MILLION!!
Thanks.so much for this video. I can see the full passion and emotion (tears in your eyes) of driving your hero. And when you mentioned the need for speed from 1996 with the Diablo. I must have played the same game. Indeed, I was more Diablo an Testarossa than XJ 220.
a proper car .. a proper review .. proper passion
Love it! I saw one in the Tiriac Museum in Bucharest and sat down on the ground beside it , just to understand the proportions. That's probably as close as I'll get to driving one in my life. Thanks for the vicarious thrills.
Amazing video James !!! Your joy expressed in this vid was infectious (in a very good way) Cheers from a fan in Tasmania :-)
They say to never meet your heroes. At times, it is not only ok, but actually the magical, fantasy, dream like experience that we all hoped it would be. Well done Jay.
All I can say is you lucky lucky man, it's great to see some real emotion and its always a pleasure to watch your reviews, keep up the fantastic work 👍😊
Great video J, it has it all! Glad you found & experienced your dream car!
Great video as always. Pleasure to watch someone living their dream and deservedly so
Grats to you for getting to drive your dream. No need to apologize for enjoying your job mate. I always preferred the F-40 myself but that's what we all love about car passion. Cheers
Loved this one James. Your enthusiasm always shines through.
very powerful, I'm literally in tears. Well done man.
How can people put thumbs down on this video. 🤷🏿♂️. Amazing video love it.
Still watching this video as much as for the car and to watch someone who truly appreciates what this car means to achieve their dream . The best review I have seen for a Diablo . Awesome
