Lamborghini Diablo Millennium Roadster.


On the early 2000 Detroit Auto show, Automobili Lamborghini SpA announced the Diablo VT 6.0 will be the only Lamborghini built during the 2000 production year, a few Diablo GTR's were still being finished at that time, but all other types would be cancelled.
Fortunately, Automobili Lamborghini SpA did make a marketing effort, they showed a very nice looking Titanium Metallic

Diablo VT Roadster on the same Detroit Auto Show, next to the yellow Diablo VT 6.0. This Roadster was in fact a limited edition version, the Millennium Metallica Roadster, as the factory officially calls it.
This car is a special Roadster made during the 2000 production year in a limited production run of only 30 cars,

the car is available in a special Titanium Metallic finish, in fact it is just a shade lighter than the earlier Titanium metallic available for the Roadster, but the biggest difference on the inside is the two tone leather interior, on the Titanium version the seats are covered with a mix of gray and black leather.
Another feature for the Millennium Roadster is the use of a clear Carbon Fiber rear spoiler, mounted on this Millennium Metallic Roadster it looks great.

I also found a Millennium Roadster finished in Yellow, also with a two tone, yellow and black leather interior, this one doesn't have the Carbon Fiber rear wing installed, but the yellow bodywork combined with the black and yellow leather really looks good.
Another very well received feature for the Metallico Millennium Roadster was the use of the shorter SV type rear differential ratio, this means the Diablo VT drivetrain was coupled to an SV-type Bevel gear type differential with a 1 to 2.53 ratio instead of the VT's 1 to 2.41 ratio, giving a phenomenal driving experience for this very limited automobile.
Automobili Lamborghini SpA intends to have a brand new Roadster ready by 2003, of course this one will be based on the successor to the current Diablo, which is still to be presented at the 2001 Geneva Auto Show.
