Hater Fodder: Diablo Gone Wrong

By Ben Schaffer

Bulletproof Automotive

Some of you may actually like this car. There’s nothing wrong with liking it, so feel free to still have your say in the comments section. I, however, do not like this car at all, so I’m offering it up to the haters in this latest installment of Hater Fodder.

This picture was taken from the same crazy exotic car meet as yesterday’s post. I can tell the owner put a lot of money into this car, which to me is all the more a shame that it came out so tasteless and gaudy. Anyway, if I offended anyone, I’m sorry, but I think this car looks terrible in this picture.

PS: To me, the only excuse for this car is if it was tuned like this five or more years ago (if that’s the case then it gets a “get out of hater fodder free” pass from me). These parts are the same shock value, blocky, chunky and poorly integrated design that mostly represented the late 1990s of the US spocom scene. I wonder if Wings West made these one-off parts for this Diablo…

the sh*t is ugly. diablos come perfect right out of the factory, thats why they are made that way, so you DONT have to do dumb s*** to them. IMO- he F*****d that beautiful car up.

I have to agree that the guy went overboard. at the same time im big on making a car your own, something that noone else has. the lambo is few and far between but atleast noone else can say they have that car. i give him my respect just because he took the chance and made it his own.

I’m with you Josh O. The ex. pipes may be a tad extreme, but I bet it sounds bad ass! As for the aerodynamics he’s added, the carbon fiber air diffuser probably works pretty damn well! And if the owner of this Ghini is into taking corners at highly excessive speeds, then that big ol’ spoiler probably does a good job of keeping it’s ass on the pavement. If you ask me, it’s his car, it’s still a Lambo, only now it’s a Diablo that can probably hang a little better with the Murcielago LP640’s on the track!

That is RIDICOLOUS, a Lamborghini is perfect the way it leaves the factory. why anyone would want to “rice” it up is beyond me. Now i could see doing some engine mods of course, maybe rims. But that wing is just ridicolous, John makes a good point on putting downforce on the rear wheels, but thats why it was MADE with one, who knows if that pos would work or not? And the exhaust…..f*ck his exhaust.

Whats bad is that, the spoiler that came on this car was not bad, I dont know why this guy thought he knew what was better for the car than the lambo guys did. They do crazy shit in japan its strange, oh and Alex 8-900 HP huh, this car came factory with around 530 HP so, contrary to a ricer’s belief, (50 lbs of body cladding, exhaust tips, and a huge wing) will not infact make you faster or give you more horsepower sir, it will however do the exact opposite, slow you down, and get pictures taken of your ride and posted on the internet as EPIC FAIL photos.

Its not a Ricer … You think all asians are ricers, Who came up with the JDM LOOK, us asians did, well the japanese, if you have been there, they road race/ outrun all the time, I am pretty sure that Lambo probably puts out 800-900 horses.

While i love customizing my cars just as much as the next person, there are some cars you just dont touch. I always get upset when i watch MTV Cribs and they show these celebrities with 24s on their Lamborghinis and Ferraris. People have no taste anymore i swear. If you going to customize an already rare car, first of all the factory has endless options for someone to choose from for their car. Tastefulness is the key to making a car look incredible, and it hurts to see a Lamborghini with the pedigree of being from the worlds craziest car company being disrespected in such a way. I’m sorry but there’s a reason that that style was popular in the 90’s…and not now.

The Diablo is my absolute dream car and it makes me terribly sad to see somebody changed it into something like this!…i always believed in personalising one`s car,but this does`nt work for me….some people can`t afford their dream car(in my case too)and then people who can afford it do this to a `DREAM`!….i`m pretty sure that, that gigantic wing on the boot will affect the car`s handling at top speed negatively!..that bumper??(black thing at the back!!????)…oh no jeez!!!….BUT then again we all have different tastes…THANK GAWD FOR THAT!!!!!!..please send the Lambo to me,i`ll change it back to original,park it in my living room,sleep in it at least once a week and kiss it goodnight!

Jul 6, 2008 at 7:15 am

Now that that is settled, on to more pressing issues such as, What kind of dumbass would ruin an otherwise perfectly over the top conspicuous car such as a Lambo Diablo? These cars need no modifying. They are wonderfully exotic already. (ok, bling it up with a set of dubs..) But adding parts meant for Civics and Acuras to an Italian exotic is just plain stupid.

The workmanship show the caliber level of ignorance the owner has as well…

Just my opinion…

“i am putting an end to this right now. there is NO DIABLO GTR it is the Murcielago R-GT seriously people look it up you cant find no Diablo GT-R they only made Diablos and SVs they made a Diablo-R i belive for racing but not some *GTR*.”

What kind of imbecile are you? Lamborghini made the Diablo GT and the Diablo GTR. The GTR is similar to the GT only it has no rear bumper and uses motorcycle-like exhausts. Did you even try looking it up yourself retard? Man some people are such idiots, if you don’t know crap about cars just shut up!

Hi HATERS! LOL Y NOT.. YO I SAY DA RIDE IZ DOPE. THE DIABLO IS 1 OF MY FAVEZ. I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT IN MY OPINION IT COULD’VE DONE W/O THE REAR SPOILER. BUT THEN AGAIN I CANT EVEN AFFORD A LAMBO ANYTHING, EVEN A SPOILER…LIKE I SAID, MY OPINION. ;/ MUCH LUV 2 DA CAR LUVAZ WORLDWIDE BABY!!!!!!!!

Huge props for owning a beautiful Diablo, but if you want a Diablo-R exhaust, just buy one. I hope you have the money. The air dam is different, but cool and the wing is just a little too tall for my tastes. However, don’t you think this that monster V-12 might like to breathe a little more on the exhaust side? You might as well have put a crotchrocket exhaust on the car. It might even make more sense with one more on each side for the purpose of horsepower… By the way, definantly not rice. It is still a frikkin Lambo and anyone who has a car that can buy your house four times over usually isn’t someone to laugh at.

Different strokes for different folks! The dude that owns this car might think your girlfriends ugly! LOL
I think all the new cars are ugly. Flat body pannels equal no body design, and save the manufacture money. Notice all the new cars are straight flat panels, with sharp edges. Its just more complicated to make a rounded car, or something with some detail. Think of all the R&D their saving! The 90’s cars were more rounded and detailed. Its also easier to repair flat panels. Maybe you people think it looks Ricy because it has more detail than your used to with your mass produced POS flat pannel cars.

WTF is up with those mufflers. those belong on a cool guys 92 civic. The wing wouldnt be too bad but its higher than the roof of the car. Italian super cars should never be put in the hands of a ricer

Jul 5, 2008 at 7:02 am

i think the only thing really wrong with this is the exhaust i think it should have something that better suits the car in its beastness. some borla or something other than a shitty can exhaust. as far a it being a ricer….. its not its a lambo with a wing that doesnt make it a ricer. if a car actually uses the wing and needs one its not a ricer. the new dodge viper acr has a big wing that puts like a thousand pounds on the wheels at 150 and it needs it goin the speeds it does and the lambo does speeds up there too so whats soo wronmg with a wing nothing but i would like to see other pics of the car to determine if i like it or not

i like the car its made for performance that wing makes it hug the ground more at higher speeds and about the ricer thing i dont like foreign cars but my friend has and acura with 500hp thats wheel hp not fly wheels and it beat a real shelby gt cobra not mustang cobras but an actual cobra pushin 700 rear wheel hp by 3 cars in a quarter and the ppl talking crap about ricers can barely build 400 rear wheel hp out of v8s n r jus jelious i love chevolets i got a 383 stroker pushin 500hp 510 torque at the rear wheels with 411 gears and 37in ssr so best way to put it the guy bought built its his money he likes it so quit talkin junk cause half of yall cant afford a lambo much less fix it up

Justin
Jul 5, 2008 at 2:09 am

so would you call the all carbon fiber lamborghini murcielago-R a ricer? it has a wing added to it and alot of other aerodynamics features. just because this guy stuck it on his diablo doesnt make him a ricer just means he wants to hug the corners better at higher speeds. now if you stuck that wing onto a civic then its a ricer cause we all know it needs front downforce an not rear.

Jul 4, 2008 at 10:03 pm

You guys may dislike it, but the japanese are a crazy crew. I am sure that Lambo’s engine and motor is all custom though and highly tuned. Still that body kit has a purpose becasue I am sure I wanted alot of vents to get rid of the heat build up, the gt-wing, THINK, if the car is highly tuned, engine is ofcourse in the back, that guys gonna need the wing to keep his car more stable, and aerodynamic. With a highly built up FR car, Gt-Wings are needed. why else you thing drift cars have huge wings? its obvious …

Sorry: just realised this is a Japanese car meet. XD

Dhillaz
Jul 4, 2008 at 9:35 pm

This car would look a lot better if the modifications were more well thought out: you can still make a bodykit look good as long as it fits with the car.

The problems basically are:
That stupid generic spoiler.
The Japanese number plate (identity crisis?).
Those exhaust tips should never be put on Italian cars.
The bits around the exhaust look like an MDF bookself stapled on, and painted to look carbon fibre.
The flappy bits on the oustide don’t fit properly at all: they don’t follow the lines of the body properly: see the gap as you go down towards the tyres?

Essentially, this guy should have bought a Japanese car, it would have been cheaper, more attractive, and more appropriate.
The main reason this guy has ended up doing this is because no one can tell him “no.” He’s the one with an Italian supercar that can eat just about anything for breakfast, so you’re always going to lose to him in an arguement.

Jul 3, 2008 at 2:24 pm

Is it just me or does that new piece on the bottom remind you of the ram on the front of a cop car? The funny thing is, thta huge ugly wing would actually be useful on this car. Unfortunately the owner chose the more outrageous wing possible which just makes the car look hideous. As mentioned by others, the crooked exhoust tips do not help.

Jul 3, 2008 at 3:34 am

A agree to put it mildly. It looks like he managed to make all the wrong choices as if he was trying to make it as bad as possible while spending money.

At least he didn’t paint it lime green.

It’s funny, the flare thingys on the sides remind me of hands cupped as if the back of the car were whispering “HELLLP ME”… while its owner is holding a discussion out front, detailing how he defiled his lambo.

Looking at the plate, I’m not surprised. I’ve seen some radical things out of the far east but also some real fruitcake creations as well.

The photo’d car is one of them (of course there is more than 5, I am emphasizing rarity). The exhaust is terrible. A cicic don’t need it, nor a lambo, ferrari or anything. It is instant plague.
