All it takes is a squared-up backside.
The view from this Diablo’s rear quarter perspective is the reason for modernization efforts. It focuses on Lambo’s large backside. The Diablo’s curved lines look great compared to the Countach. However, the Diablo’s round taillights were made in the 1990s. The bulk of the work is focused on Lamborghini’s new squared-off design language. This requires the redesign of the entire back fascia. The squarish theme isn’t just related to the lenses.
Modern supercars have massive rear diffusers as a standard feature. This Diablo upgrade adds the entire package. The upgrade is not as simple as adding vents. However, the Diablo came with the odd feature of supercars of the ’80s and the ’90s: a strange rear bumper that sticks out like an afterthought. The makeover adds an aggressive diffuser to the Diablo’s bumper, and closes the gap between it and the Diablo’s rear clip. This is part of the squaring off process. To give the makeover a modern look, the bottom-exit exhaust from the Lambo is moved to the center.
The profile of the Lambo has been slightly modified to highlight the new rear clip. Other than that, the car remains unchanged. This update was made possible by preserving the Diablo’s beltline, arc, and overall design. It shows how Lamborghini hasn’t changed its basic design language in 20 years.
Although the Diablo’s rear appearance has been updated, we are eager to see what it looks like from the front. We hope that this is in the future.
