^ yeah that's one

And here are some pictures:

the spyder version looks so much better

Cool I didn't know there was a spider version. It never even dawned on me that there might have been a spider. Hell, I learn something new every day.

this is abit weird to me, but hell, its always nice to bring back old cars, especially those which are awsome...

well, i drove this thing in GT4, i thought GT4 replaced this with the Diablo since they didnt have Lambos in GT4...i knew that there was a convertible version of it and it didnt look good with the soft top on the back of it, but hell...

always nice to learn more about this car...

i feel its kinda heavy with that V16 .. and looks ok ,, a mix between testarossa and a diablo

The coupe looks like a Testarossa and Diablo had a kid.
perfect description lol.

i dont like the way the door comes so low under the wing mirror, too many conflicting lines.
someone mentioned it being one of the fastest cars in the '80s, what was the ACTUAL fastest car in the '80s (road)?
ive always imagined it to be the F40 but there were loads of little companys making silly fast cars.

It's the lovechild of a Testarossa and a Diablo. Not bad looking for it's day and age.

EDIT: Me and Untouchable, thinking on the same lines. ;)

It is a fairly heavy car, but the engine probably isn't that heavy, it's not even 6L.

Technically, the fastest actual road/production car was the Porsche 959, but then the F40 came out and beat it a year or so later, so the F40 was king.

Holy...****. I've never in my life heard of or seen this car... I fking love it. The interior is beautiful... I love the exterior, reminds me of a Diablo and some older Ferrari. How the hell have I not heard about this thing haha. It's up in like McLaren F1 territory, only more exclusive. I would love to hear how that V16 sounds... Only thing that seems kind of sketchy is the engine size... The LS1 is a 5.7L V8...this thing has twice the cylinders but only .3 liters bigger? And it's mounted horizontally too... That's crazy.

I respect that company a lot... They continued making the car until they went bankrupt, instead of cancelling production of the car.

Intersting to see that the plate behind the Californian plate his a British one !

Anyway I like !

How come I have never heard of this car before ?

It looks better than any Lambo or Ferrari made in the 80's !

This car is one of those really weird cars that have that ultraaa long stretch, from front bumper to the rear exhaust, making it look really ugly... Definitely an offspring of the Testarossa, and wow, I never knew there was a spyder version of it though...

Not bad, and that's saying a lot coming from a person who thinks new is 10x better than old.

[hides from oldies]

yea someone used to have one piece of this beauty in indonesia... he crashed it about 2 years ago...

all i can really say is...wtf...a screwed up Diablo with Testarossa and some weird blend of muscle and exotic stuff.
