Dear all,

I thought this car was made/commissionned by Max Bobnar, who, at the time, was the sole importer in Switzerland. He had two of those realized, with slight differences in the side skirts.

Can someone confirm this ?

Cheers,
Emmanuel

And there was a "Turbo kit", from Koenig if I'm right, but I'm not sure any car was brought up to live.
One of these kits had been for sale some months ago.

There were also two turbo cars, from Bob Wallace. I've got pictures of the two.

Then, supposedly, Mardikian had two cars equipped with turbos too. Did not see those.

And finally, there was yet another turbo, Roots based. Lately seen with shiny 19 inches rims or so.

What puzzles me is that I've got a picture of the engine by Max Bobnar, and it doesn't look like this Turbo S...

This very car was on display at the Essen motor show in late 2010, I have seen it in the flesh ... There is no way this was factory built ... Automobili Lamborghini would never mount those Ronal wheels ... And somehow I seriously doubt the 750 ps claim by the owner who I talked to at Essen.

I have a dvd at home with 'their' story of the car, I'll take a look this evening ... but there is no mistaking : this is a third part tuning. The factory did ask for a turbo charged V12 to be developed back in the days before the QV, there is one engine mock up with these turbo installed, but it was never fit into a real LP500s model ... Info that comes from the factory itself.

Officially Automobili Lamborghini never sold a turbo charged car to anybody, the VTTT models were built by Platinum Motors in the US by the way, got this info from Grant Johnson himself, who worked for Lamborghini USA at the time these Diablo were customized.
