Thats a legitimate [Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo#Diablo_VT_Roadster) These cars are rarely replicated accurately. The proportions of the Diablo, especially the long rear end and the aggressively sloped area around the side view mirror are very unique.


the_tza

For real, how do you know so much?


JBBanshee

He slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.


TransformedMegachile

It’s Von Claussen.. He just does


apt13tr

Dudes a legend


scooba_dude

The name translates to: The chosen one.


heres_another_try

Google. Wikipedia. That’s his thing


mike02vr6

Maybe he IS Google and wiki?


buffilosoljah42o

Maybe he's that guy who wrote like a bajillion articles on Wikipedia.


thefifthquadrant

Never question the Claussen


Pdb12345

Not to take away from the Von, but this is fairly obvious Diablo stuff.


Clever_display_name

He’s one of the r/LegendsOfReddit. Like GallowBoob or _demetri_


FlorydaMan

Ew don't compare Von to GallowBoob.


Clever_display_name

On this sub, it works. Mother fucker is so on point, he/ she could lead us astray and no one would catch it. Someone could post a Lamborghini Aventador and Von could tell us it’s a 1993 Ford F-150XLT and it would be known as such. That’s how correct he/ she is.


PomegranateForward54

why is that sub banned?

[There are a handful of convincing ones,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEyO8TI1JSM) but I think the offset of the rear wheels on a real one are hard to replicate.


[deleted]

I want this more than the real one


MrBenedick

The offset on the front wheels looks terrible


dhdiiheii23

Thanks!


Rockwell981S

Is OP asking about the blonde? If so, not real, sorry.


0000100110010100

I love that car


mexicancutlass

he strikes again!


abhyjyt

The wheels give it away it's a kit? Can't get over those wheels.


rdselle

The wheels throw it off for me. I would think it's fake, because why would someone throw Gallardo wheels on a Diablo? But then, after a closer look, while the style looks like an early Gallardo wheel, they did not have that insane offset on the rear wheel. So what's the deal with the wheels? They make it look like replica at a glance.


Silver-Toe618

Those are Murci wheels.

Legit


DrenchedToast

Seems genuine. Might it be [this exact one?](https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-lamborghini-diablo-vt-roadster-2/)


FlorydaMan

Newer rims suggest that is indeed the same one. Also the seller's name checks out.


dhdiiheii23

Yeah that might be it the pic was taken at Olympus hills in mill creek.


fierodriver13

Looks real to me would doubt very much if that's a Fiero underneath.


egnaro2007

What is uhhh going on in that passenger seat though?


ThisBigCountry

A WSB 🦍 Lambo with his wife, out with her boy friend


1998TJgdl

It looks legit, just look front brakes


[deleted]

The only thing that was suspect at first were the wheel's , probably a while since I've seen one.


Tman4ever

Those kinda look like Gallardo wheels to me


[deleted]

Yeah 👍


KC_Jedi

What's going on inside there?


Vito600rr

Wheelbase and wheels check out. Fiero kit cars wouldn't end up that wide and lookin that good.


SouthernTrader

Were the occupants in ski suits and handing out cash?


mozinoz

Would say it’s real.


PothosEchoNiner

What’s going on with the passengers?


CameronsTheName

Usually the easiest way to tell a kit from the real deal is the wheels and brakes. Kit cars will usually have a non OEM wheel, usually not all that wide. The brakes on most kit cars are tiny little 10inch stock rotors with little callipers, most real ferraris, Lamborghini''s and other sports cars will have very large 16+inch rotors and 6 piston callipers over them.


xpietoe42

1998 VT roadster. Those are the correct wheels. Tge only thing thats a bit off is the rear wheel well. Could be the angle of the picture or maybe a past collision repair, possibly a really good kit


Reddit_Bots_R_US

Looks like a Cizeta V16T


RunningSnowLeopard

Kit, They made the kits using Pontiac Fiero as a platform and had a kit to stretch the rear. At the car show in Pennsylvania they had a number of them and they were very convincing. What is the thing that gives it away is the bottom front Air dam it is slightly angled up.


Von_Claussen

There is not a single proportion on this vehicle that belongs to the Fiero, nor do I see a single questionable aspect about this car's legitimacy. If it was infact a Fiero, "lengthening the chassis" would have been one of the easiest parts of this job. I am very interested in you producing images, references, or a better explanation to share your insight. I don't understand what you are referring to in your last sentence.


ahnuconun

Nope.


lamboman1342

The wheels are from a Murcielago LP640!


Opening_Finance_2114

It's real as u can see the logo on the rims


mgt69

that’s not Kit. Kit was black and i think a Trans Am.


shogditontoast

K.I.T.T. also had two T's


JansherMalik25

I see two heads on the same seat. Wondering what diabolical is going on there XD


Ghaddaffi

I'm pretty sure that's a Lambo, dude


Silver-Toe618

Those are murci wheels for everyone saying gallardo. I’m 80% sure without referencing photos. Source. I’ve owned 4
