I believe my LEGO Diablo phase has come to an end...I think I have finally
succeeded in creating a likeness (but that's for you to decide).
Modeled after the latest Diablo, my LEGO rendition is fully motorized (with a
geared motor and a micromotor for steering). The working headlights light up
whenever the car is in motion. The front hood reveals a spare tire (or room
for luggage). The rear deck lifts to show of the famous 6.0 liter V-12 (and
the contacts for the wires to the "remote control" handset). The doors open
over prototypically large sills to a comfortable and fully detailed interior.
But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

And a few high resolution "wallpaper" images:

Please LMKWYT! If I'm missing a photo of some angle, or if you would like a
high res image of any other shots, please let me know!

| I think you presented your model from all angles. I tried to pick out a favorite view and I just like them all. Everything is perfect down to the wiring. Beautiful job! -- Bob Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| Although more of a technic man myself, I do have a soft spot for highly detailed models such as yours. Yours has a great likeness to the real Diablo, the way you have dealt with the various intakes and curves in Lego is very impressive. Maybe I'll (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| Hi Bram, Thanks for sharing pictures of that coooool model!!! It really looks fast, does the LEGO motor realize what the car looks like ;-) ?? Your car reminds me of a Ferrari model a friend and I build something like 15 years ago. We used the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| Bram, That's an amazingly detailed model. You should send in some pics to Lamborghini...maybe they will like it so much that they will commission it from you. I don't know if adding tiles would disrupt the appearance of your model too mush...but I (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| (...) No, why do you say that? You can always build one in 8448 scale. At that scale, you can incorporate even more details! ;-) The interior details are very nice. When I come to the interior, I'm normally so bored with the model that I simply add (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| Whoah! Great Job. Really, really great model. I like the overall shape, I like the body detail, (especially those sloped things like the air-intake look cool), those obscurely hinged doors are cool, too, and to put such a detailed interior into the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
