The Diablo GT was arguably the last strictly puristic supercar from Lamborghini, before it was absorbed by Volkswagen. “In those days supercars weren’t built with ladies in mind,” explains The Times. “You needed to be a gymnast to get into the thing, the ride was rock hard, the clutch was heavy, the gearshift tough, and drivers would quickly learn to abandon it in the street rather than park it.” The ride was also physically demanding, requiring “your absolute attention all the time those massive alloys were turning.” Today, things are a little bit different. Supercars have changed, in some respects “beyond recognition.” One prime example is the Bugatti Veyron. “It is the world’s fastest road car and would leave the Lambo for dust. But to drive it is as docile as a puppy. Granted, the driver doesn’t have great visibility and it drinks the fuel. But in every other respect you could take this car to the supermarket.”
