Record $890,000 Sale for 2001 Lamborghini Diablo on Bring a Trailer

2025-11-01 · Motive Archive

We are excited to announce the sale of this 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 Bring a Trailer for a record $890,000. As the final-year evolution of the Diablo lineage—updated under Audi stewardship before the Murciélago—the 6.0 cars are regarded for their refined drivability and build quality while retaining the model’s raw character. Production of the VT 6.0 is generally cited in the low‑to‑mid 300s, with an additional 42 examples for the VT 6.0 SE, placing this sale within a comparatively scarce cohort.

Presented in factory Verde Hydra Metallic (paint code 0062) over Avorio Lilium leather, this US‑market coupe (VIN ZA9DU01B01LA12714) embodies the definitive late‑run specification. Power comes from a 5,992 cc DOHC V12 with variable valve timing, rated at approximately 550 hp and 457 lb‑ft, paired with a 5‑speed manual and viscous‑coupling all‑wheel drive.

Independent testing in period recorded 0–60 mph as quick as 3.4 seconds and the quarter‑mile in the high‑11s, with a factory top speed claim around 205 mph. The 6.0 update added a wider front track, revised suspension, magnesium 18‑inch wheels, ABS braking, and a redesigned cabin led by Luc Donckerwolke. Notably, community registry data identifies this as the sole US‑market VT 6.0 finished in Verde Hydra.

This result marks another successful representation under the Bring a Trailer Local Partner program and reflects continued interest in final‑year Diablos with the 6.0‑spec improvements. It joins a steady cadence of analog V12 supercars drawing strong attention across the market. As The Collector's Resource, we provide transparent, well‑documented representation for collector‑grade vehicles.
