Right. When he said "but they are illegal" I was thinking, "Oh no, the lights are in the bumper??" Only to be pleasantly surprised they folded down. They're just as cool as pop ups and more aerodynamic
its a shame how deep dish wheels are so rare nowadays i dont get it.. it makes the look of a nice car complete anything else just looks average / civic they can give it atleast slight deep dish wheels like the Mclaren F1 LM has. and the rear lights look to much like a Ferrari
I was thinking the same but maybe the plan is to draw you in. There are some shots (almost all) where this thing looks really amazing with great proportions, engineering and lightness! I don't remember them mentioning weight but this diablo looks very light. Like sesto elemento light 😈. I want to see it in real life.
I'd never heard of them until a few years ago. I'd see modern supercars and older muscle cars and wonder what was possible if you made a muscle car out of carbon fiber or added newer tech in a way that kept the old soul. I had no idea that there were men and women not merely wondering the same thing, but putting the highest levels of design and art and engineering behind it to make it real. I get that it's a million dollars or more sometimes. Sometimes it needs to be. I hope to ride in one a few times, but even if I don't, this is one of those things that I just believe the world is a little more beautiful when the passionate put money and time and sweat and excellence behind finding out just how beautiful and incredible a car can be when sales numbers don't need to matter at all. Truly special.
@@Rajonas007 Well.. When you consider all the hours, blood, sweat, modeling, testing. And the fact that it’s not mass produced. I think it’s much more fair than 3 million for a Sian wich is just an aventador with a battery 😂👍

Before ehh.. around 1990 about all taillights looked like AutoZone generic work truck lights, either squares or circles. Exotic/Super car designers treated them like they treated side marker lights up until the last about 10, maybe 15 years when they would just mount a small circle somewhere on the side and call it a day and a big knock on this car for me that they didn't rework the taillights.
I don't know about cutting up 19 old diablos to make these. That's the only thing that irks me. Start with a clean slate. This is like taking someones artwork, erasing part of it and penning in your own. Doesn't sit right. Looks great though.
You need the vin number and original title in order to make a car without going through modern standards and crash testing that will cost more than they’d ever make selling 19 cars. Keep in mind, there’s more than 19 Diablos out there in a piss poor state of neglect currently. It’s like other restomods, people look for neglected cars that aren’t wrecked, not pristine cars that ought to be preserved 👍🏼
It’s gorgeous. 1.3 and NOT including the donor car is bananas. Obv I’m not the target demographic but hard to wrap my mind around going with this choice at that price. I do love it though
At this point, all these restomod cars are not that interesting anymore because of their pricetag. They all look sick, EVERYONE. But the pricetag.. Why would I care about these.
Yeah, at this point they might as well be promoting a new supercar. I'm definitely down for the concept of a restomod being something that a garage wrencher did over a few years with an average budget. Like a look what you could build with dedication. Not look what you could build if you were an ex-pagani chassis engineer in his late 60's who retired in southern France...
Put the Lambo Emblem back on the Hood, and add a Spoiler. Other than that it is incredible. But in general its hard to make a bad car when you have such a beauty as a diablo to work with
All that blibber-blabbering, but no driving shots or engine noise. When are these legacy car media companies going to learn? It would seem the answer is an emphatic never.
In a world where I had no issues with money, since it’s even more retro than the original cars era, I’d custom order one in “Stainless Steel” brushed finish. I’d then install a “Mr.Fusion” mounted to the Tepanyaki, and finish with a flux capacitor, centered between the seat backs. Then, maybe get the engine custom mapped to max output at 8800 rpm, and integrate some flame effects onto a wide bar addressable rgb on the tail. Cause it’s a mod after all. Fun!
@@oskar6661 Absolute nonsense! This is the kind of thing that people who have never even seen a Diablo, let alone driven one love to say. There are people who own McClaren's and all manor of other modern cars who prefer to drive their Countach's and Diablo's over them.
It does look like a tesla. both new models lambo have lost their way. Both ugly both look like made from their spare parts bin. They remind me of a hotwheels car that stole cues rfrom lambo or a cheap rip off in $2 dollar store. They have lost the sleek wedged low wide stance.
The SE30 Jota is my dream car. This restomod looks great but something is off about it, cant quite put it into words. Maybe its the intakes? They look... Small and narrow compared to the rest of the car? Idk. Looks really good though.
all cool, but the interior looks bad, it looks like they are using a single big screen(lengthwise) for the dials, and not separate ones, that just makes it look cheap.
Um, not to be rude, but did you try looking up the word yourself? This latin-rooted word does mean exactly that as well: “(of an axis, axle, etc.) not situated in the center”. Of course, they’re also playing with the polysemic nature of the word here. I think it’s a clever touch.
@@BorjaOjedaor, hear me out, it just means eccentric. What except for the lettering on the front and the freaking towhook, which is always to the left or right, is off center on this car?
@@YodasDisciple that's what I meant by polysemic. But yeah, I totally see your point, no doubt about that. This was, at best, a poor attempt at word play. Anyway, the car is a work of art 😍 but I think they missed an opportunity to fit the classic wheels with the round-shaped holes, whatever they're called.
@@BorjaOjeda yeah that would have been a nice touch. You could have also gone with deep dish rims on the rears to accentuate the rear haunches of the car. Still a very good restomod, not sure about the pricetag tho. Seems just as eccentrica as the car itself.
@@YodasDisciple totally agree on everything. I think these resto mod companies are clever in getting their target customers to pay as much as they'd be willing to for something unique, rather than just setting a price based on the cost of production (which I'm sure must be pretty high though).
My all-time favorite supercar is the Diablo. I first saw when I was a child in Moldova on a bootleg copy of Dumb and Dumber. I fell in love immediately. If I ever get rich, this will be my first purchase. I'd spec it in yellow.
That's not really what the Mandela effect is. And saying you have PTSD from something as a way of hyperbolic emphasis is a bad practice and distasteful. Damn good looking Restomod all that aside.

It’s incredible that there are enough rich car guys on the planet to afford these million dollar Restomods and Hyper Cars. The stratospheric cost this car, an F-40 and a 959 when they were new is one thing. Now it feels like there are 50 different manufactures making $1 million dollar cars. The 1% sure has grown.
Yeah this is magic. Genuinely would be the car I chose if I was in that market .... Im not by any stretch but ill share my opinion anyway 😅. What a beautiful machine
Is this the restomod to top all restomods?
No chinese aventador is better
No. Not with that interior/dashboard. It ruins it for me. Imagine looking at that terrible gauge cluster after buying such an amazing car.

Right.

pop down down and up headlights uh
pop up up and down headlights uh
There's no dish on the back wheel! How could they not have that?
Bang on.
its a shame how deep dish wheels are so rare nowadays
i dont get it.. it makes the look of a nice car complete
anything else just looks average / civic
they can give it atleast slight deep dish wheels like the Mclaren F1 LM has.
and the rear lights look to much like a Ferrari
The stance overall is a bit off
the fitment front and back is equally terrible. What a shame and wasted opportunity
I came to comment, “wheels are everything”
The best trend in automotive trends history. Perfecting beautiful cars of the past.

Do one yourself. You’ll get a better result
@@hoonaticbloggs5402Singer is extremely good at what they do. Most people who do make cars can’t do as good a job as Singer.
That '80s-inspired dashboard in this '90s Diablo just screams "Modded by someone who was still a baby when this car was on sale"
Color doesn't do it justice. It needs a lighter livery to capture the lines.

So..pop down headlights are legal?! Why don’t other manufacturers do it? Those headlights look so beautiful.
They are not legal for production anymore.
Because there's no reason to do pop-up or pop-down headlights on a modern vehicle.
Why would they not be legal?

We love restomods. Please give us more restomods. They are not boring.
Restomod all the 90s things. Charge millions.
Saw this again and it's still good!
Those pop down lamps and both epic and a massive flaw. Can you imagine the bugs in there on an evening drive?
That's phenomenal! The lines are so elegant! And the paint is beautiful too.
some people are probably gonna call it a bit tacky but that is one of the best looking cars I've seen, my god
it looks a lot better than most cars today. they look too busy .
True that
I love what they did with the drivers console, timeless and retro at the same time.
please note: eccentric, in Italian, means also bizar, extravagant and, last but not least, something distant from common things
the English also have a word for it - it's eccentric :D Not sure what was the host thinking

Ok wait....the pop down headlight is a great loophole. Love it.
In the world of really amazing restomods this really is underwhelming at best.
Seriously. Singer is the gold standard. They make you want to buy a 964. Not so much with this Diablo.
100%. I'd snag a Alfaholics (or...probably 5-6 of them) before glancing in the direction of this thing.
I need more cars with pop down headlights in my life. so cool
To make the audience listen to this savage accent for 8:10 and not rewarding them with the engine sound at least, is just brazen, honestly.
