    Lamborghini Diablo: Supercar Teardown

    We're finally featuring a bull in our Supercar Teardown series, where we crack open supercars to peer inside. Luckily, the Lamborghini Diablo's packed with a gorgeous 5.7-liter V12. Let's take a closer look.

    Dirty V12 Gets Taken Out Back And Shot, Reincarnates And Gets Put In Its Place

    While the Ferraris featured here (the F40, F50 and 360) have all been some pretty clean examples, this Diablo does not fall under that category, requiring a full rebuild of all 12 cylinders. In these shots you can really see the Lamborghini tractor lineage due to the just-get-it-done appearance of most of the engine's components. Yes, it's an exotic, but not in the hermetically-sealed Ferrari sort of way. We can definitely appreciate that.
