The Diablo VT Roadster was introduced in December 1995 and features a carbon fiber targa top which was stored above the engine lid when not in use. Besides the roof, the roadster' s body was altered from the fixed-top VT model in a number of ways. The front bumper was revised, replacing the quad rectangular driving lamps with two rectangular and two round units. The VT Roadster remains one of the most sought after models of the Diablo collection.The engine lid was changed substantially in order to vent properly when the roof panel was covering it. The roadster also featured revised 17 inch wheels. The air intakes on top/sides were made larger than the coupe Diablos. In 1998 the wheels have been updated to 18 inches, and the engine power raised to 530 HP by adding the variable valve timing system. Top speed specification was raised to 335 km/h (208 mph).This particular Diablo, one of only 325 ever produced, is in showroom condition.
