And to try to narrow it down a bit, I'm going to say Fiero-based.

It's not Fiero-based, as it is a Lamborghini, so now locked to DeAutoGids for the next reply!

It sort of is a Diablo, but this being AP, it's not quite that simple. So...?

The same company is using more pictures of different cars in the same location. I did not use google image search, well yes, but only using words.

I'm with DeAutogids. It's sold by JTCars as a stock 1996 Diablo VT (and it looks like one), so why would it be something else ? Has Lamborghini ever made a Diablo that is not a Diablo ?

After these rhetorical questions, a proper one : JTCars are based in Malaysia, so is it a Malaysian Lamborghini replica ?

It's not a replica, it is a real Lamborghini which made a Diablo that wasn't called a Diablo (there's a big clue!), and it's not from Malaysia.  So, let the Pros race begin... :)

Aparently that was what the Diablo was sold as in Mexico...

Lamborghini Costanga ?
Yes. I was hoping for more detail, so I will add it myself.  The Lamborghini Diablo name was changed for the Mexican market to Costanga, with the Diablo's engine detuned specifically for Mexico from the regular 492ps down to 440ps. Another point to Oko.

Thanks for the point, but is there any evidence that the puzzle car is actually a Costanga and not a regular Diablo ?
