Lamborghini, the name itself conjures up images of Rocketship cars with the premium price tags to go along. Unlike Ferraris with their rich racing heritage and delicate lines, Lamborghinis are brute, brash and they aren’t afraid to show it. Although everyone else out there will probably remember the cars from the Countach onwards, ask any car enthusiast which was “THE” classic Lamborghini and it might just be the Miura.

The Name “Miura” most likely, was referenced from the Miura fighting bulls known for their ferocity. The car was unveiled to the public in the 1960’s, making this car over 30 years old. It’s still a beautiful stunning piece of automotive craftmenship. This car was the dream of many in its time, both young and old. One Wall Street financier bought the MIURA as a work of modern art. He set it in the centre of his hanging garden on the top floor of the skyscraper like a sculpture.

The Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster was in production between the years 1996-2000. Within this time frame, 466 Roadsters were made, with the final 30 being the Millenium Edition Roadsters. I personally prefer the design of the Diablos over the newer Murcielagos. Personally, i feel the styling of the Diablo ages better then the “trendier” looking Murcielagos. But that’s just my own opinion. I do think they got the design right on the Gallardo though.

Autoart Makes this 1:18 scale diecast model, and it was one of their earlier releases. But, this is a model that was well made and i think it’ll be a great addition to anyone’s collection. Especially when most of them can be found “on sale”.
