Lamborghini Diablo

A new car from one of the most magical names in motoring - Lamborghini -has always been an occasion. When the Diablo was introduced to an adoring publicit was not only one of the most beautiful looking performance cars of its time butthe fastest of them all! This programme traces the development of Diablo, from thedrawing board to the Autostrada. We go on the road with one of the world’s most experiencedhigh-speed test drivers, Mario Mezzanotte, and ex-world rally champion Sandro Munari.At the Nardo test track the cameras actually record a lap at 212 mph (340 kph)! Equallythrilling is the experience of 160 mph on a busy motorway!
