The collector car market continues to boom and Lamborghinis have not escaped attention. Icons like the Miura and Countach are steadily climbing in value and more modern machinery, especially anything with an SV badge, is seemingly immune to any kind of depreciation.
Stuck in the middle has been the Diablo but it, too, is beginning to enjoy its moment in the sun. This presents an interesting conundrum – if you’re a fan of the raging bull with around $400K to spend, you have the option of a current-gen Lamborghini Huracan or a top-notch example of arguably the best Diablo, the VT 6.0.

The Lambo Diablo is much more of a brute. Though the VT 6.0 was developed under Audi’s watch, it still needs extreme care when driven hard due to its size and weight. City driving will save you the effort of a gym workout thanks to the demands of the clutch and gearshift.

The other advantage of the older car is wow factor. The Huracan isn’t exactly a shrinking violet, but it is ‘relatively’ common and has neither 12 cylinders nor scissor doors.
