For a point, please name the make and model (and remember that this is AutoPuzzles!)

Djetset · March 15, 2018, 03:32:30 PM

Amazingly no Rookie responses, so up to the Experts...

Let's say Lamborghini for fun

el_monty · March 15, 2018, 04:18:59 PM

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!

DeAutogids · March 16, 2018, 05:42:38 AM

I would say a Lamborghini Diablo.

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

DeAutogids · March 16, 2018, 06:09:38 AM

Somewhere, online, this picture is used to sell a 1996 Lamborghini Diablo VT

Not the name I have...

DeAutogids · March 17, 2018, 05:15:52 PM

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.

Djetset · March 19, 2018, 06:28:31 AM

This one is not called a Diablo.

ChanceHuncha · March 19, 2018, 04:17:19 PM

Is it a kit?

No.

Djetset · March 27, 2018, 07:06:35 AM

OK, time for the Pros to demolish this one...

oko94 · March 27, 2018, 07:19:25 AM

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 ?

Djetset · March 27, 2018, 07:23:53 AM

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...

pnegyesi · March 27, 2018, 07:28:01 AM

Is it from Argentina?

oko94 · March 27, 2018, 07:33:13 AM

Was it built by the Italian Lamborghini factory ?

Lamborghini Costanga ?

Carnut · March 27, 2018, 07:51:34 AM

I just logged on to ask exactly the same question!
Aparently that was what the Diablo was sold as in Mexico...

Oguerrerob · March 27, 2018, 07:53:18 AM

Lamborghini Canto?

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.

oko94 · March 27, 2018, 08:23:47 AM

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