Wife Grinds Gears in Husband’s Diablo SV

But Lambos of old were completely different supercars. Before Audi came along, they were really scary and riddled with faults. The gearbox was heavy, the visibility was bad and the suspension was rock hard. A car that only the manliest of men could handle?

No, not really. Youtube Allan Lambo has published a video of his wife driving their 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV. In his own words, the ride goes well until she starts grinding gears. That’s because she can’t really reach the clutch pedal in the impractical Diablo, so you get a clutchless shift in a 536 PS rear-whee drive supercar.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
