During the 1986 production year, Giulio Alfieri received a new redesign for the legendary Countach. The QuattroValvole was in production, but Ferrari was closing the gap very fast, so Lamborghini had to come with something new. The R&D department at Automobili Lamborghini SpA was urged to modify the Countach to keep it at the top of the supercar market.
Automobili Lamborghini SpA debuted their SE30 Diablo model as a limited edition, only 150 would be made, each one numbered and wearing a special plaque stating which serial number the car had, but within this already very limited production run you could request an even more exclusive car : a Diablo SE30 with a Jota upgrade.
On the occasion of the next Motor Show in Frankfurt, Lamborghini will show us for the first time a race version of its highly spoken of super sports car, the Lamborghini Murcielago. Named Murcielago R-GT, Lamborghini developed the competition car with race experts Reiter Engineering and mother company Audi’s sports division, Audi Sport.
The Miura Roadster was built in 1968 by Marcello Gandini and Bertone for the Geneva Show that year. This car, chassis ZN 75, was more than just a quick job, it was dramatically different from production Miuras.
As released at the show, the Roadster featured larger air intakes and a lower roll-over hoop which distinguished it from any other Miura. Other modifications included different taillights and a larger spoiler. As needed, the box section structure of the chassis was strengthened up to cope with additional loads usually absorbed by the roof.
By 1987 Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler and they chose the Frankfurt Auto Show as a way to show the consumers the Portofino. The design was brilliant of Chrysler and built atop a lengthened Lamborghini Jalpa framework. Coggiola of Turin was commissioned to assemble the vehicle.
