i saw the CUSTOM MASERATI coupe on the maser thread.it got me thinking, wouldn't it be great if we could all have our custom exotica ala' sultan of brunei? what would you do to an existing model? here's my take on a myr2000 lamborghini diablo roadster...

Nice design. The back reminds me of a Countach, the front a Murcielago, and the shape a LeMans car from the 80s.
hehheh..thanks for the kind comments!u stated all my inspirations in a single sentence;bar the BRAVO(wrap-arround black band) as well as the original GANDINI style original diablo profile(deep,thrusting windows).thanks again!
id love the next gen murcie to have some Countach cues, bring it back alitle retro, yet with 21th century flare!!!!
i was aiming for that look,what with that 70's style band(albeit modernised so it incorporates the lower sill/door shutline as well as disguising the intake/oil cooler!) will come up with more in the near future! also,i've always thought that the diablo's gaping intakes were downright horny and saved weight versus the electrical/pneumatic system on the murcie. imagine the car above built on a spaceframe with lightweight panels and OPTIONAL 4wd weighing in below 1490kg with 750bhp+! i dunno about you guys,but this would be my dream lambo!
Really looks good. Much better than current designs. I'll put some cash up to build it hows that? One stipulation, it has to be ALL Italian.
would love to build it....but my mates think i'm crazy if i actually "sacrifice" a '99 diablo roadster! did some research,and here's what i came up with. 1)mod'ed engine mounts;drop the engine 1.5in 2)tranny mounts 3)revised/strengthed gearing 4)engine stroked,ported and polished,tuned to about 580bhp(6,073cc)at 7800rpm.torque?try 605Nm.(up to 513.773 wheel bhp!) 5)bodywork mounts. 6)rear scoop/intake reconfiguration/brake ducts 7)side intake angle alteration+front intake repositioning 8)structural carbonfibre re-inforcements(w'screen frame,"shoulders",sills, engine bay bracing..) 9)custom aluminium bonnet/rear section/firewall 10)custom grp+c.fibre body panels 11)custom steel/c.fibre doors with repositioned bars. 13)custom HID headlights incorporated into base of windscreen. 14)custom LED running lights. i tallied the costs and come up with a figure of close to USD$410k on top of the USD$260k diablo roadster! SHOULD I?!?!?!? other ppl may admire somthing truly unique,but some lambo purists may decide to set me on fire!still,much better (IMHO)than a lambo diablo COATL!
Oh I wouldn't tear up an exsiting car to build it. I'm just dreaming about building quantities from scratch.
