Chasing Unicorns is in our DNA. It's how Curated got started, but as the company has grown there's been a need to bring in more "regular" inventory. However, this year we want to get back to our roots! Whether it's chasing the world's lowest mileage Lamborghini Diablo GT, or pulling a rotting Lamborghini from a shipping container in Japan, we are getting back to chasing unicorns! 245 days after Hershel and Sergio visited the Miura Collection in Japan, the 1 of 1 Kode 0 and Kode 57 concept cars built by automotive designer Ken Okuyama, arrived to Miami. We also took delivery of a 1 of 1 Diablo SE30 that underwent a full nut and bolt restoration and is ready for its next owner!
In the constant pursuit of pairing the world’s best automobiles with the world’s best collectors, CURATED Miami has specialized in Vintage Blue Chip European Automobiles since 2016 - specifically low production cars built by the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and more. CURATED continues to pave the way for the next generation of collectors chasing the “poster cars” of their youth. Co-founder John Temerian, often called the Indiana Jones of car collecting, truly understands the importance of history, details, and provenance and CURATED is dedicated to educating and supporting new custodians, empowering them to preserve and celebrate these rare icons. Known for our inventory of some of the most rare examples of Ferarris and Lamborghinis ever produced, CURATED has a passionate global following, comprised of enthusiasts, experts, influencers and celebrities.
This is probably my favorite car channel. It's actually about cars. Please don't stray to far away from that so many others have now. I've actually had the opportunity to visit Curated and they are seriously passionate about cars and it shows.
Yes folks, they did that. Absolutely amazing. Without passion, this simply doesn’t happen. It is beyond just the car business.
you get it!
I actually saw the kode 57 berlinetta randomly, walking down a Tokyo street on Christmas. It was at KO's design studio. I'll never forget seeing it. Ken Okuyama designed the Enzo, and you can see the inspiration here.
Having been living in the sub-culture collector world of NOS collector cars and motorbikes for more than 2 decades, I can assure you, every time you say the "lowest mileage", I bet I can find 2 more with even lower. I promise you, there are a crazy amount of delivery mile only cars still in plastic right off the transport hiding all over the place. Normal collectors that buy great original low mileage examples are just not the same breed who collect NOS ones. - You guys are doing a great job! Thanks for sharing! That Rosso Alcantara is stunning with the yellow/black headrest logo!!!!! IMO, a restored car is where it's at if you want to really drive one, because once it's restored it not original anyway, so just drive restore, rinse, repeat.
Post yours up then :) if you can’t or won’t because of privacy or other reasons you will remain a sub culture in the shadows
@@MW-uy3np Privacy is paramount (hence my username) and there are even small owner groups of the sub-culture each group into specific models. To fellow collectors we are very much not in the shadows, but you won't find most of us using social media to post or brag.
@@emptymannull😂
@@cameronwilliamson3754 It is ridiculous because you just made it up. By groups I mean multiple owners that interact with each other and know who owns what. Not that there are organized "groups" in the way you try and describe it.
@@emptymannull You are bragging about being part of a sub culture group of owners who own wrapper cars. It's just not true until we see proof. Continue living in the shadows and not sharing with others and we will continue to not believe you. Please don't take offense but you certainly can see where I'm coming from.
That spec on the Diablo VT is absolutely beautiful! Every car previewed in this video is insane!
Curated’s success is based on product but it’s not just the cars, your product is tenacity and vision. I watch from afar but in going strictly on watching the videos there is much more to it than selling some cars
Thank you! We put a lot of love and passion behind what we do
Curated out doing themselves ONCE AGAIN - breathtaking reveal at the end. Totally floored!!!!
I've got a small scooter store here in Australia and I watch you all the time to keep the fire burning!!
Awesome! Keep pushing 🙌🏽
@@WeAreCurated thanks guys 🙏
That carbon fibre briefcase is the dopest thing I've ever seen as accessory.
It's so cool!
Every time I see the subscriber number I shake my head. Gearheads have no idea what they're missing. Excellent content!!
You should be 1 million plus subscribers! Your content and passion is second to none... I could watch hour's of you talking exotic cars.❤❤❤
Love getting a new upload notification from John and the team much love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Appreciate it Jay!
Just listening to this beautiful cello music while watching a black Diablo GT hits different. You guys just have a feel for the perfect vibe
thank you!
I am constantly amazed by these videos - I consider them mini-docs. Brother Temerian - Keep it up. The passion from you and your team is infectious. Thank you for sharing and documenting the journey.
Glad you like them!
This black Diablo GT is a dream 😍😍😍 wish i was rich what a piece of art, that silver & green exotic is fantastic
Thank you CURATED for letting us live the experience vicariously alongside through you, I don't think I can afford the scale models of these cars, however, It's a true pleasure to see the cars one grew up reading about and drooling over. CURATED is a world-class operation on the highest level and Mr.John Temerian is "The Ace of Spades", when it comes to these wonderful rolling sculptures! Thank you for bringing us along!
Thank you so much Edward!
Super awesome to see these cars in the hands of Curated. Great video
Passed by curated today and took videos outside.. 😂😂check the cameras I was geeking call all my friends in FaceTime
Wish it was open
Swing by during the week!
I'm new to the channel and being a collector myself im just glad to some real honest true content and no Clickbait titles just the real deal! Thanks Guy's 👌
Welcome aboard! Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏽
I love the way you do your videos. They're so calm and relaxing.

John ....thanks, also thanks to your crew and the other guys who make this possible
Hi from Berlin.....the old Hartmut guy .
Mike
Outstanding. I really look forward to the stuff on this channel, probably more than any other channel I am subscribed to on You Tube. The quality of content is just superb.
your videos have special vibes, that passion and automotive arts... wow, big love from Poland
Can’t wait to see the young collectors collection of prototype cars that gonna be cool to see what he collects.
That one at the end kinds has the look of a squashed cyber truck.😂
Secrecy is the soul of the car business...the pure gems are hidden away from us all...
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. This is the BEST true car guy TH-cam channel.
Keep doing what you are doing. And thank you
THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE CREDIT. 🏎️
Legendary team curated keep being great 🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🫡🫡🫡🫡
Cheers!
Goosebumps what an incredible piece's, speechless.
I'm From Barcelona we can say it's not far from Andorra and see this Master Piece was in Andorra it's sick. On the other hand i hope some day i can visit your store in Miami because I'm only entering, is a paradise for me
Thanks! Stop by when you're in Miami
Nuts. Yup. Just wow. God how Diablos have grown like a fine wine.
the finest wine!
This is the best channel on TH-cam for car lovers
I just love your passion for these cars.
Watching this was amazing what a privilege to see history like this
10:35 Man we need a Miami Vice remake with the original cast in these cars
I get madddddd Huracán vibes from the silver 1 off car
It's based on the Aventador but the wedge proportions do kind of give that look!
@@WeAreCurated the front slant and the quarter panel on back deff scream huracán . The shot from above is what sold me lol
Man I love this channel
Congratulations ... Well done! Thanks for sharing
Hell ya brother! Chase the dream.
Incredible, just fantastic.👍👌
That one of aventador concept oh my goodness

I... A...ummm. wow man im speachless . Just f'en awesome.

That 3000GT is a unicorn too 😂
Awesome content, keep it coming!
Outstanding video Again !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome!
Amazing!
JT preaching the gospel of Lamborghini and saving the souls of Ferrari heathen :)
Sois los mejores, saludos desde España
I want that 3000GT behind you!
Love seeing a video where someone talks about the greatness of MJ then in the same breath drives distracted 🤦🏻♂️
I gotta be honest - it is a complete and utter shame to see a Diablo or any beautiful car rot away and not be driven/enjoyed or others see it. Sad..
Seatbelts, John, seatbelts! Please use them… we’d hate to lose you in senseless, preventable way!
Will you feature the Koenig Specials Testarossa in your showroom?
This car was registered in ANDORRA which is a small country in the Pyrenees mountains. It's a tax haven. The population is only about 100k people It's a tiny little county known for it's banking and tourism. People vacation there to check on their money.
Shamefully low amount of miles driven...I wish we can back to the days when people bought these cars to drive and enjoy them instead of seeing it as an investment 🤮
Do you even know what is going in the car world?? If everyone drove the shit out of all these cars back in the day we would be stuck driving electric soulless garbage. They don't make N/A V12, V10, V8 cars and trucks anymore. Once they are all used up they are gone forever.
@@devanrogers3133What? Ferrari and Lamborghini is still making them 🤔
@szymonzielinski8501 They are all Forced Induction or they are going to be. You must be living under a rock. They don't even make manual transmissions anymore.
@@devanrogers3133 I’m living under the rock? Of course everything is changing because of regulations, especially in Europe. BMW is still producing M3s and M4s with manual ;)
@szymonzielinski8501 but they have turbos. Of course they are still making a few cars here and there. Turbos use to be a way to modify your car to make it faster for those with time, money and the willingness to sacrifice reliability and good sounding engines. Now you can't even buy a new car without a turbo even if I you don't want one.
Wow wow wow
Nuts.
In my opinion, the SE 30 is the perfect automobile. Any of the colors, crazier the better 🙂🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹..
It's incredible!
That Diablo GT was owned by A. G. Roemmers.
🔥
Ken Okuyama creations.
Diablo GT is the 🐐 Lambo, period 🔥 perfection
Yes!!
the last two cars are from Mr. Muira's collection no? his white Koenig bb512 is so savage. I grew up looking at a ilatian food spot owners exotics in Baltimore. he had one of every early '80's exotic. they weren't called supercars back then. Motorcoach or American Service center in Arlington would have probably thrown me out as a kid as where the supercars are parked. lol cheers
Yes! They're from Mr Miura's collection. You're welcome to stop by Curated any time!
Payback speed = 1.5x
Did they ever make any Right hand drive Diablo GTs?
What color is that green diablo?
NICE LA HAT BRO.. HAHAHAH
It hurts my soul to see these Diablo's becoming unobtainable.... they used to be stupid-cheap.... just like Testarossa's 10-15 years ago.... and I knew it... but I just couldn't afford them as a young man. I'm not mad.... I just missed the boat on my childhood poster cars. Big respect to the studs or studess' who buy these gems!
Indeed the 80s and 90s poster cars have had a massive rise in the past decade or two! The ones who had it on their wall finally became the ones with buying power
Great video! Really wish you guys would do a video dedicated purely to this particular Diablo GT before it goes off to a new home, by far one of the coolest cars you’ve had!
John, wear your seatbelt!! 😉
We'll do a short one as an Instagram reel and TH-cam short! Going to review all the unique, original details
Please do, this is a fantastic car!
The dude with the key is that Cory Feldman?
The problem with these videos is they aren't long enough
what were you driving in the beginning, John?
550 Barchetta... probably 1st time its ever been driven with the soft top on hahaha. We'll do a video on it one day!
Time for a Stratos 2
The cybertruck of Lamborghinis
😂😂😂
Still waiting on Schumachers EB110 John…😊
Me too! Haha
SALUTE 🫡
5:00
I'm keeping my Fiat 500. Winning.
Where is your Benz John?? We want to see it. We know it’s finally done
Little peak coming in this week's video! We'll do a full driving video later on
@@WeAreCurated thank you😌
We Are Curated... Where the Unicorns are real.
Beautiful content and I remain confused by Curated. They respect the minute detail of 'originality' yet extensively restore. Those states appear (to me) to be conflicted. Speaking of constantly changing and evolving, it would be great to see more acceptance for the preserve as found. Consideration is costly I know.
bro's insurance cost is probably astronomical
Wear your seatbelt. Do it for your kids
First registration of this diablo was in Russia/Moscow, today ill pass by its ex owner and show him yor video and how far away is his ex car )))
6:55 good lord! Looks like a shift knob taken from a ‘95 Chevy Cavalier!
0:43 Back to not wearing a seatbelt, huh?
Lambo went cheap on the Diablo. The steering wheel looks like it came out of a 1986 Honda
Drive the gt. Thats lame these cars sit
John, were the amg's exclusively premerger cars or was it a mix of pre-merger and late model amg's. I pray that you are able to work it out. I think there is no human on earth more suited to handle that than Stephan. that dude is like a young Hartmut but with MI5 for back-up(that you and the entity that is We are Curated). I think only yourselves or the Ptina Collective should be allowed to buy any premerger cars. you buy the rarest and the most pristine and the rest go to Patina. I want everybody to be able to access them but you two are the best ambassadors as well as having relationship with to 2 most knowledgeable resources and shops at your side as well. renntech and Hodgie blue ridge. I again wish no sucess and if it doesn't work out than no one will get them because they obviously mean too much to their owner. how about a Ruf collection?? the gentleman in Miami seems to love his too much to sell but any leads on something like that?? im a RUF fanatic since '84 and they are the hands down best sports cars money can buy. nothing ever or will compare from performance to the legacy of Alois and his incredible company. that was a once in a galaxy stars align and magic happened which they parlayed into a technological powerhouse unrivaled for the whole of history. can you tell I'm a big fan. good luck my friend. may your fuel tank be filled and your tires always sticky icky. cheers
Thank you for all of the kind words! They were all pre-merger 🥲
@@WeAreCurated oh my my my my. I will put that in my prayers. hopefully the owner will come to his senses and let Curated distribute to some new lovers of premerger. if you are able to buy them it will be because of me so if I could get a spin around the block i'll fly to Miami ASAP.LOL jokes thanks for the response. cheers
The sub count is too low
Pls make your own video
it's my neighbor's diablo
Something was lost at the Ferrari brand. You tell me an enzo is more beautiful than a jaguar xj220 and I'll have my lazy dog slap you silly.
So you spend all that time and money to buy a car just to sell it...why wouldn't someone locally to the collection list it for sale?
Curated isn't a private collection. We buy, sell, and restore vintage supercars!
Please use seatbelt at least while filming your videos.
Mind ya buisness
😂
Are you wearing a seatbelt in that Barchetta John?
First
