Lamborghini Diablo Roadster damaged in Orlando collision
A Lamborghini Diablo Roadster suffered damage in Orlando, Florida after being struck by another vehicle reportedly running a red light, affecting several body panels but with no confirmed injuries.
A Lamborghini Diablo Roadster was involved in a collision in Orlando, Florida, after another driver reportedly ran a red light. The incident left the rare supercar with visible damage across the right door, rear quarter panel, window, side step and front quarter panel. There are no confirmed reports of injuries.
The Lamborghini Diablo Roadster is one of the more exclusive open-top supercars produced in the 1990s. Built in limited numbers between 1995 and 2000, the Roadster variant featured a removable targa roof and was powered by a 5.7-litre V12 engine paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. All Diablo models were assembled by hand at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in Italy.
This particular car, finished in blue, now faces repairs to multiple panels. The extent of the structural damage is not confirmed, but the visible impact appears to be limited to bodywork. For collectors and owners, the cost and complexity of repairing a Diablo Roadster can be considerable, given the scarcity of original parts and the need for specialist labour.
Rarity and value of the Diablo Roadster
Fewer than 3,000 Diablos of all types were produced, with the Roadster accounting for a small fraction of total output. Survivors in good condition are highly sought after, with values reflecting their rarity and status among 1990s supercars. Recent auction results and private sales have shown strong demand for well-kept examples, and even damaged cars often attract interest from collectors willing to invest in restoration.
Incidents involving rare Lamborghinis often draw attention due to the cars’ status and limited production. This is not the first time a Diablo has been damaged in a public road incident; a previous case in Australia also saw a Diablo suffer heavy crash damage.
