Lamborghini Diablo tuning, the Affolter GTR edition.
In 1998, Roland Affolter presented a slightly modified Diablo GT1, this time named the GTR,
and based on either the Diablo SV or the Diablo VT, while the GT1 was based on the
standard rear wheel drive one.
The silver car was based on the Diablo SV, but again, all body panels were replaced
with redesigned ones, closely resembling the GT1 version of 1997. But a few changes
were made, the roof mounted air intake became a single large one, instead of the
two smaller ones on the GT1, probably because the standard SV intakes looked too

much like the GT1's mounted. The glass part of the roof was removed on the silver
SV-based Diablo but on a later model, the strange pearl yellow/green VT based car,
the glass roof returned.
The fixed front headlight units were slightly redesigned and the small carbon cover
was removed. But the biggest change is the engine cover, now using a design similar
to that of the Jaguar XJ220, instead of the original straight lines, Affolter used
curves for the air extractors. The design looked great, and the engine cover was more
evenly integrated into the overall round design of the GTR.
The interior again used the same design as the GT1, with a more practical dashboard,
and a very nicely integrated passenger airbag. The standard seats remained, but on

several custom ordered Diablo GTR's, race type bucket seats were installed together
with four-point seat belts.
It might seem unbelievable, but Affolter was able to sell 15 of these very special
Diablo's, not only in Switzerland, but two cars went to Japan, and four were shipped
to the United States.
For 1999, Roland Affolter intended to built an even more dramatic Diablo, we'll just
have to wait and see what this genius comes up with next.
