Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster

The Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster reaches 60 mph in 3.61 s (100 km/h in 3.79 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.85 s, tripping the lights at 120.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s and the eighth mile in 7.72 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.23 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Diablo VT Roadster

The 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster is a rear-drive electric car of 1,625 kg with 523 bhp, which works out at 322 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 120.0 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 728th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 54th quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. Its 120.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster reaches 60 mph in 3.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 728th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster quarter mile time?
11.85 s at 120.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster have?
523 bhp and 1,625 kg, which is 322 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 332 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari F40 (3.69 s), Porsche 911 GT2 996 (3.60 s), Wiesmann GT MF4-S (3.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
