- In today's video, after 25 years of waiting I finally get to drive my ultimate childhood dream car - The Lamborghini Diablo. This one is a 2000 6.0 VT, one of the first Lamborghinis to benefit from Audi influence - but did that ruin the raw experience I was expecting?

"Quirks and features". Somewhere, in California, a bloke in dad shorts is dialing his lawyer.
After he takes the time to put a t-shirt on over his t-shirt.
"THIS.... is a cease and disist letter."
When you say bloke....
The type of guy who puts on two t-shirts before getting on his dirty knees to call his lawyer.
LOL
“If I get a speeding fine in this car I’m framing it” - classic 😂😂😂
I would frame it too and put it in my will that they should include it on my tombstone.
😂😂👏🏾❤️🔥💜
If you go above the limit by 30mph you get banned, so please do this. What's your local police station? I'll give them a ring.

That was a pleasure to ride along with you realising your dream.
Happy you could join me
@@JayEmmOnCars I hope you buy one. It's been my hero car for the same reason.
Amazing
@@JayEmmOnCars get one
I love this review. Emotional, honest and heartfelt. But most of all, this is also my boyhood dream car. Theres special cars and then there's a Diablo.
Biggest bull in our childhood! 😊
The Diablo is for sure something else... by far my favorite car
The wheel arch shown on 6:15 is actually a design detail that appears in many cars designed by Marcelo Gandini
Thank you very much for the extended "Have a Listen to This" piece at the start. Justified.
My absolute pleasure
Me clicking on this video: "Am I going to see this jovial Englishman cry in a Lamborghini?
Yes. Cheers mate
Pleasure
I've been brought to tears by cars and motorcycles a few times over the years,admittedly for slightly different reasons.😉
@@JayEmmOnCars Much abliged :-) privately appriciated, not dubiously considered... :-) VIVA ITALIA, Pro Patria, Viva Automobiles LAMBO, LAMBO, e Ferruccio il contadino :-P :-D :-)
😂😂😂
Your emotion around the vehicle was clear throughout the video, glad you were able to meet your hero and it lived up to your expectation. Keep up the fantastic work
Love how TH-cam thinks the middle of this is the perfect place to show an advert for an electric fiat 500
Couldn’t really be less appropriate if they tried
I got an advert for using the Dutch trains... On the day they're having a massive breakdown and are unable to drive at all.
Love how TH-cam not giving me any adverts in the middle..
That’s the best review for me. The Diablo is also my all time dream car. Fantastic thanks.
My pleasure
I got to drive a Gallardo a few weeks ago and man alive the back is skittish when braking from higher speeds. How does it compare?
@@danwilliamson1991 It felt very stable to me but it doesn't have the braking power of the Gallardo - was a weak point of the car
Also the best Lambo of them all.
Cool Diablo on my Instagram page @super_cylinders_fe
You were concerned that you wouldn't do a good job on this. In fact, this was wonderful. A great tribute to an iconic car. A true Lambo: spectacular looking, utterly impractical, extremely fast, thrilling to drive. And in a proper Lambo purple. It's great to see you realising your dreams.
Thanks Roger, glad you enjoyed
Probably one of the best TH-cam automotive videos... in the world!!
A great mix of information, experience - and emotion!!
Thank YOU, James!
Thanks Mark!
The Diablo has always been my favorite Lambo, so I know where you're coming from. Made in a golden era for supercars.
Late 90s were the best time
Same. The Diablo and all of its variants is my favorite lambo. Being a 90s kid, who played a ton of racing video games made me appreciate this golden era of super cars.
Congrats James. You've worked bloody hard to get where you are.
Much appreciated
@@JayEmmOnCars Driving all these exotic cars must be hard work !

You drove it a very short time and nailed it!! After seven years of ownership (1994 Diablo VT) I can assure you, you will fear it after hitting the redline on a corner! You drove it conservatively keeping the redline out of sight (understandably not your car). I finally removed the front driveshaft after five years ownership, rear wheel drive is the way to go. There is a lot of Diablo misinformation, overall an absolutely fantastic super car for the money! TH-cam viewers will be waiting for the Diablo story to unfold (you should get one before the prices hit the sky). Early model Diablo's have slow electric windows but nothing much else is slow about them. Stock exhaust is amazing, the car is incredible! Yeah, fresh tires are very important for overall ride and handling. Get one, your TH-cam channel will hopefully reward you.
I did get to hit the redline a few times, but the long gearing made it tricky!
You absolutely nailed it. Exactly what car enthusiasm is all about: not headline figures or pops&bangs but pure driving fun. Keep it up!
It has a manual gearbox, so its wonderful.
The first two car posters I had as a kid in the late 90’s were a Lamborghini Diablo in gold and a Porsche 993 Turbo in purple.
What a car. VT is so pretty too!
My posters were this lambo and the countach in all white. 😊
TH-cam subtitling at the start the video:
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Seems about right.
Yep, that's about right
I have to say the Diablo 6.0 is probably my favourite Lambo of all time...with the Countach QV a close 2nd! The rear wheel arch was shaped to echo that of the Countach. Great vid as always
Fantastic video, I’ve owned one for 10 years black with black interior, amazing car. Not had a speeding ticket but did get a fixed penalty for black number plates! Worth the the £60 for the stealthy look! Keep up the great work James.
These are still striking cars.
I remember as a kid following a purple Diablo through High Wycombe. It seemed bloody huge at the time. We stopped to speak to the owner, a little Italian guy who used the passenger seat for his golf clubs! He’d had five Ferraris before his Diablo which he described as rather more exciting.
I'm so so happy that you got to drive your hero car and weren't disappointed James. I'll almost definitely never get the chance to see a Nismo 400R let alone drive one, but I think I'd be similarly emotional. What other unicorns are there that you know you'll probably never get the chance to drive if there are any? Fantastic video again!
The normal r33 GT-R is my unicorn car as here in the USA we never got any of the Skylines except for the sedans which were called the Infinity G35/G37 over here.
@@ChampionBlueRacing theres very few here that got imported. To me the r32 is the best of the 3
I am genuinely emotional too! What a wonderful review James! Please never apologise for enjoying your job, everything you were experiencing came through to us. Thanks 👍
Who wants the same old copy and paste car review with performance figures and the same old yackety yak. You show the real emotion that these cars evoke. It’s not about the numbers it’s about the emotion and the memories. Great review, thanks for the ride.
Thanks Steven, glad you enjoyed it
The feelings you showed here were exactly how I would feel in your position. I always picked the Diablo in need for speed 3: Hot Pursuit and had a Yellow SV on my wall as a kid! Also what you said about cars outperforming the Diablo being irrelevant to you is how I feel about my 03 R32 Golf. Newer DSG turbo cars would outperform it but it is by far the more enjoyable drive with the lovely manual box, the mechanical AWD grip and the V6 singing away!
Aww man. Thanks for bringing us along. It's great that you ared not just parroting what everyone else has said. That owner is some kind of awesome for allowing you to drive it. Ever a fan, as yours are some of my favorite videos on here. Keep up the good work, I so appreciate how genuine you are and that you don't seem to have every speech impediment known to man. Always a joy. Keep 'em coming.
It must be so cool to have a TH-cam channel where you can simply say “but there’s certain cars I’ve always dreamed of driving”, you mention the name, and someone calls and offers that car to you.
Always a great feeling when you finally get to meet your hero and they don’t disappoint, great video and nice to go on the ride with you!
My favourite lambo by a big margin, a gated VT roadster for me, I love the design even more with the roof clipped on the back and more headroom and noise. Thank you Mr owner for letting Jay bring us this video from the soul
That's probably the most enjoyable road test I've ever watched.
There's no way to fake real passion like that.
Marvellous.
Thanks Lenny
My favourite car with one of the most honest test I’ve seen , love seeing someone who’s loves the car enjoy it . Extremely happy you have driven yours and my dream at last 👌👌
As a kid I had about 10 posters of different Diablos plastered around my bedroom. Definitely not a self serving video mate! I loved every second. Really happy for you to finally drive what is also my dream car.
Really appreciate how well you capture the magical sound of these super cars! Pure joy.
I love your content James, the quality of your content is ace. You're the only car TH-camr I watch. This video really made me smile and I'm so glad you were able to drive this beautiful Diablo and it didn't disappoint.
Great, great review James!! Yes you got excited (which you should) but you also delivered loads of practical info. You are the best car reviewer in my opinion. Not just youtube, but anywhere. Great job. Great video. You have a canny knack of telling me all thing I actually want to know and giving some awesome no talk engine sounds when its needed. I never really fancied diablos, but you just made me want one.
This was a great video. Seeing you driving your dream car and a Diablo on top of that is great. I remember having a toy car Diablo and it looked so outlandish and aggressive that the wedge shape is something I adore to this day.
Love how excited and emotional you are throughout this video! A truly amazing example this. For me THE hero car was, is and always will be the F40.
A Diablo 6.0 VT in purple, literally my childhood poster car, in fact still have the slightly bent poster in my basement 😍
This has to be one of your best videos to date. Raw car guy emotion that we can feel through this video. Fantastic work!
This has got to be the best car video of 2021 on all of TH-cam. Fantastic job James!
This was all the better for your emotion coming through - well done for channeling it in the right way. I find I know much more about a car from how you are feeling not what it feels like
great review - also enjoyed the podcast you were on - lots more than meets the eye with JayEmm!
This is where watching all your videos and then your honesty really pays off. When you find a car that really speaks to you! The emotion really comes across in this video which is epic. For people that could never dream of owning something like that, it gives a tiny taste of how it might feel. If you ever fancy driving a nice 987 boxter with an lsd (how it should have been from the factory) let me know 👍
Thanks for sharing your hero. So pleased it did not disappoint.We could see your emotion at times.
Excellent to see both a great review and you having such a superb time! Really enjoyed watching this
Amazing video James !!! Your joy expressed in this vid was infectious (in a very good way) Cheers from a fan in Tasmania :-)
Thanks.so much for this video. I can see the full passion and emotion (tears in your eyes) of driving your hero. And when you mentioned the need for speed from 1996 with the Diablo. I must have played the same game. Indeed, I was more Diablo an Testarossa than XJ 220.
Loved this one James. Your enthusiasm always shines through.
Great to see you got to drive your dream car.
I know those roads very well and over the years seeing and hearing a Diablo is something special.
The fact that this is 2 years old and I’m still watching over shows the difference between someone doing a review and someone who loves the car from childhood. It’s my hero car bar none . Love it 🙏
Great video J, it has it all! Glad you found & experienced your dream car!
Cracking video, its what cars should be all about, experiences and making memories
I love your videos, i can tell how passionate you are about cars, and its refreshing to watch a car review that isent influenced by anything other than the how the car drives, great content 😀 👍
You've come a long way mate. Getting more popular every day. Well deserved. Top class reviews by a top class dude who knows what he's talking about. I'm around the same age as you too so I get what you mean when you talk about old racing games and hero cars. Well done man
Fantastic. Realism from a true enthusiast. Looking forward to another one.
Love it! I saw one in the Tiriac Museum in Bucharest and sat down on the ground beside it , just to understand the proportions. That's probably as close as I'll get to driving one in my life. Thanks for the vicarious thrills.
James you absolutely have blown me away with the car video , and I'm sure that this is a dream for many people thanks 👍
Pretty special episode. one of my all time favourite cars too.
Keep it up!
The Diablo will always be one of the best supercars in my rankings, it just falls in that sweet spot for age and performance where its still fast but not excessively fragile
very powerful, I'm literally in tears. Well done man.
Dont apologise James that was a cracking video and loved your honesty emotion and your history with the car. One of your best mate.
Thanks for the review Jay. I'm with you when it comes to the Diablo. I'm not really a Lambo fan, but the Diablo is special. An amazing and unique looking car. It's both brutish and beautiful in equal measure. It still looks amazing today.
Your best video to date. I'm so happy for you. Such passion and that's what people want/need sometimes.
My dream car is the yellow Murciélago from NFS HP2 (2002). I was 11.
All I can say is you lucky lucky man, it's great to see some real emotion and its always a pleasure to watch your reviews, keep up the fantastic work 👍😊
Love the emotion and passion. Thank you for a good review
Great video as always. Pleasure to watch someone living their dream and deservedly so
So glad meeting your hero didn't disappoint you. I'm a bit older than you and my hero car was the Countach S. I first saw a picture of it, a prototype, in Car Magazine. It was wearing black plastic wheel arch extensions. What really impressed me, even back then as a teenager, was the back story the magazine provided through the factory tour. It showed how the car chassis was created out of bits of metal and aluminium tubing being welded and brazed together. Even then it was recognised that this was probably the last of its type. But it struck me how special it was and how special it must be to be able to order a car and know that a dozen craftsmen were making it by hand.
I wonder how many of those able to order one actually appreciated how privileged they were to buy one let alone drive one. You clearly appreciated your privilege.
Always got to appreciate these things or they have no value
So happy for you! Always great informative and entertaining videos
This one is so touching almost make me cry 👍👍👍
Grats to you for getting to drive your dream. No need to apologize for enjoying your job mate. I always preferred the F-40 myself but that's what we all love about car passion. Cheers
Outstanding review James.
Thank you.
The peculiar shape of the rear wheel arch is a Gandini design. Also seen on Maseratis of the period.
What passion - loved the vid, Jay. Great to see you get some time behind a car you obviously love. Cheers!
Great vid, mate… what you have, with the Diablo, I have with the Ferrari 288 GTO (1984) 😍
Thank you SO MUCH James......I got quite emotional too.....just "washing the windows to my soul"...... such an ABSOLUTE
D R E A M car for me too......I maybe PREFER the look of a pure early LP400 Countach, but THIS car is something I could REALLY, TRULY envisage the possibilty of owning one fine day!! Thanks a MILLION!!
Really enjoying your content at the moment. Thanks for sharing 👍
In the correct color too!
Happy for you, special moment that might happen just once, ever. Great video!
Channel keeps getting better, Jay is living my dream.
your videos are like a good day on the back road. thank you!!!
Another quality video from you!
I TOTALLY get you with your sentiments on that ONE hero car. We've all done track days and come away a little deflated at the anti-climax of being unable to open them up properly.or trundle around a circuit waiting for some shit scared "enthusiast" to let you past.
Most of us can't afford to hire a supercar for a weekend to experience what you have - but as you said, total thanks to the owner to allow you to realise something you always dreamt of but always thought unachieveable.
If he's anything like you, he knows just EXACTLY what it means to you.
Great video. It’s good to see fresh opinions on this very important car. So happy for you. Keep up the good work.
Looks fabulous, sounds great. An amazing car. Very professionally yet emotionally presented.
Couldn‘t have thought of a better review.. what an experience. My all time dream car as well. Thank you very much!
Very kind, thankyou
Cheers for that.One of the best reviews ive ever watched
Amazing 🤩 you look like you were having a great time 🤙🏼 being the same age .. this is also THE car for me growing up but I doubt I’ll never get any closer than my scaletrix!
Amazing. Can't wait for the next video. After the Diablo 6.0 it must be fantastic.
Sometimes meeting your hero is just as great as you hoped it would be. Congratulations!
Can’t stop watching this video. Like you. This was my poster car. That spec. The look of it. The sound. Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing this video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great review! I used to enjoy those roads back in the 90's in my mk2 Escort.
"I'm framing it", this was the most special review of this car, loved it
I watched the opening and immediately felt compelled to hit like!! #dreamcar #channelgoals
Amazing video, love the colour, incredible car.
Great car, great review. Well done mate, live the dream 👍🏻
Nice and honest video, Jay.
Loved it, love the channel!
This car is absolutely stunning! I love the color and you did an amazing job reviewing it.
that rear arch design is actually for drag, modern coaches use it to. the elevated rear of the curve lets air escape and depressurises the wheel well.
A dream come true, this is one of those cars that on the rare occasion
that you see one, you want to drive it.
Thanks for sharing your dream car experience.
This is soo awesome! The Diablo was my dream car as well when i was a kid. The first ever car magazine I owned had a yellow Diablo SV. Still want to drive one to this day.
A superb car reviewed by someone who can appreciate it at its true value. Brilliant work!
One of my favorite videos you made. Sometimes when you meet your heroes they don't disappoint.
We needed a really good modern hands on review of this car. Thank you :)
