A custom-pained Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, ordered by former President Donald Trump, sold at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction for $1.1 million, making it one of the most valuable Diablos on the planet.
Trump ordered the Diablo VT Roadster in 1997, choosing to have it painted in the Blu Le Mans paint color, which was not available for '97. This is the only 1997 Diablo VT Roadster painted in this color, making it a true one-of-one.
The Diablo VT Roadster was further customized by Lamborghini for Trump with a special plaque installed on the door that reads "Donald Trump 1997 Diablo." The 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 making 492 hp remained unchanged, capable of catapulting the mid-engine supercar to a top speed of 202 mph. Trump sold the car in 2002, but it was spotted for sale on eBay in 2016 by an owner who reportedly bought the car in 2005. The sale of Trump's former Diablo marks a world record for Diablo auction prices.
