1995 Lamborghini Diablo SE30

The Diablo SE30 was Lamborghini’s tribute to its 30th anniversary—a limited-production model that pushed the performance envelope while shedding weight and luxury. Introduced in 1994, it was based on the standard Diablo but re-engineered for sharper dynamics and reduced mass. Power from the 5.7L V12 was increased to 523 BHP through a revised fuel system, freer-flowing exhaust, and magnesium intake manifolds. Manual adjustable anti-roll bars replaced the electronic dampers found on the VT, reinforcing its driver-focused character.

Weight-saving measures were extensive: power windows were replaced with fixed plexiglass units featuring small sliding vents, while features like air conditioning, stereo, and power steering were deleted. Inside, carbon fiber bucket seats with four-point harnesses underscored the SE30’s track-oriented design.

Visually, the SE30 stood apart with a revised front fascia, straked brake ducts, an engine cover with slatted vents, and a larger rear wing. Magnesium alloy wheels, SE30 badging, and a range of exclusive paint finishes—most famously metallic purple—completed the package. Just 150 examples were built, making it one of the rarest Diablo variants.

Chassis #2049 is a European-spec SE30 finished in Argento over Red Alcantara—a one-of-one configuration. It has received a concours-level restoration and remains a standout example of Lamborghini’s transitional supercar era.
