Just out of interest what are they like? Compared to say a Gallardo? Steering, clutch visibility etc?
What's is the build quality/reliability like? I know the earlier Diablos were somewhat "temperamental" but seeing as Audi were involved with the 6.0 did they sort all that out?

Thanks in advance.

Great cars! The best of the Diablo range IMHO. Steering is powered so therefore light (but full of feel), clutch light (especially compared to earlier Diablos). visibility fine to the front but not so good for reversing (you get used to it though).

You cannot really compare it to a Gallardo - much much rarer, a fantastic V12 engine and as a bonus it will not depreciate.

The 6.0 was a significant step forward in build quality - it has the carbon fibre bodywork so no corrosion issues. The interior is also a vast improvement on the earlier cars and better than the Murci. Reliability is good - the known weak points are few but include the front dampers which are prone to leaking (these are part of the front lifting system and the design was not the best).

Compared to the early Diablos (I used to have a 92 one) it is like a different car - maybe not any quicker but much nicer to drive.
