Donald Trump’s Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster up for sale at $299,000
The 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster formerly owned by Donald Trump is on the market, with 14,992 miles, Le Mans Blue paint and Trump’s documentation.
A 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster previously owned by Donald Trump has been listed for sale in the United States at $299,000. The car, finished in Le Mans Blue, comes with documentation linking it to the former owner and carries a “Trump 2016” decal on the rear window.
The car has covered 14,992 miles from new. According to the listing, it remains in what is described as mint condition. The Diablo VT Roadster is one of only 200 examples built, making it a rare find for collectors even without the celebrity connection.
Specifications and collector appeal
The Diablo VT Roadster is powered by a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 492 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels, a feature that distinguished the VT (Viscous Traction) models from earlier rear-wheel-drive Diablos. Lamborghini claimed a top speed of over 200 mph when new. The VT Roadster’s removable roof panel and limited production run have made it one of the more desirable Diablos among enthusiasts.
While the asking price is high for a Diablo with nearly 15,000 miles, the car’s provenance and condition are likely to attract both Lamborghini collectors and those interested in its celebrity history. Documentation confirming Trump’s ownership is included in the sale, which may appeal to buyers seeking a car with a story as well as performance credentials.
Diablo VT Roadster in the market
The Diablo VT Roadster’s rarity and performance already place it among the more valuable 1990s supercars. Comparable cars without the Trump connection have sold for less, but the combination of low production numbers, condition and provenance could justify the premium. For context, the Diablo has seen renewed attention from collectors in recent years, with limited-edition models and celebrity-owned examples often commanding higher prices.
