In-game description[]
"A special GT race model that had a huge impact in Diablo history."
The Lamborghini Diablo GT2 is a pure GT racing car developed to compete in the GT2 category of the FIA-GT Championship in the 1997 race season.
Knowhow gained from the Diablo SVR in European one-make races, and the series of Diablo GT1's that were produced for the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (now the Super GT) were utilised for the development of the car. Many of the body panels were replaced with carbon-fibre components to reduce weight, and a large front spoiler and a carbon rear wing were added to improve its racing aerodynamics.
For the first time for a Lamborghini-developed Diablo, the engine displacement was raised to 5,992 cc. The variable intake system, titanium connecting rods and special camshafts raised the power to 631 BHP.
In 1999, it was rumored to participate in the Le Mans 24-hour race from the Swiss team Garage R Affolter, but it never happened. With a change of plans involving Audi becoming the parent company in 1998, it all ended without ever fully participating in the FIA-GT Competition.
It did lead into the production of the limited edition roadcar, the Diablo GT, and the Diablo GTR used in the one-make 'Diablo GTR Super Trophy' competition. In addition, it had a major influence on the development of the final production 6.0, making the GT2 an important part of Diablo history.
