The resultant Diablo SE30 was unveiled at Sant’Agata in September 1993 during the third annual Lamborghini Day celebration which had attracted over 150 owners and their cars from around the world.
When the SE30 concept was conceived in early 1993, GT racing was starting to undergo an exciting revival. After years of domination by Group C Prototypes, sports car racing had imploded; privateer drivers turned to a new breed of more cost-effective production-based cars.
With homologation requirements slashed to historic lows (just a single road-going version of the proposed racing variant), it was fairly inexpensive for manufacturers to supply suitable mildly tuned cars. As a result, the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Marcos, Venturi, Morgan and many more ultimately got in on the action.
With this in mind, the SE30 was much more than a typical special edition that had been dressed up with some optional extras thrown in. Rather, the new variant was significantly lighter, sharper, more powerful and faster that the donor car upon which it was based.
