Lamborghini Highlights Historic Models At Auto E Moto D’Epoca 2024 In Bologna
Automobili Lamborghini is showcasing its heritage at the Auto e Moto d’Epoca show in Bologna for the second year. The brand's Polo Storico division, which focuses on preserving Lamborghini's history, is displaying a 1968 Miura S under restoration and a well-preserved 1994 Diablo SE 30. These models highlight Polo Storico's dedication to maintaining classic Lamborghinis.
The Miura S, currently being restored, provides insight into the restoration process. The front section has been completed, while the rear remains unfinished. Meanwhile, the Diablo SE arrived from a U.S. collector and has been preserved in its original state. It recently underwent inspection for authenticity certification by Polo Storico.
Alessandro Farmeschi, Automobili Lamborghini After Sales Director, expressed enthusiasm about this year's display. "After last year’s extraordinary debut, when we displayed an Espada at the beginning of restoration, this year we are back at Auto e Moto d’Epoca with a car that represents a significant phase of the work we carry out," he stated.
The Miura S was completed on 13 December 1968 and initially sent to Rome. It features a white exterior with a mustard interior. The frame has been repainted black, while the body coverings await final painting. This model was first introduced at the Turin Motor Show in November 1968, marking advancements in luxury super sports cars.
The Diablo SE 30 is number 99 out of only 150 units produced to commemorate Lamborghini’s 30th anniversary. Unveiled in September 1993, it boasts a unique purple color called "Lambo Thirty." This particular car was made in 1994 and delivered to Germany in April 1995.
Technical Enhancements and Features
The Diablo SE series achieved a weight reduction of 125 kg through carbon fiber paneling and magnesium alloy wheels. It includes features like an adjustable rear spoiler and redesigned engine hood. The engine management system was upgraded with new cylinder heads and intake manifolds to boost power to 525 CV at 7000 rpm.
This model also comes equipped with modern amenities such as a radio with CD player, four-point harness seat belts, an extinguisher, and grey leather steering wheel inserts. The chassis improvements include adjustable torsion bars accessible from the cockpit.
Lamborghini's stand is located in Pavilion 31 at Bologna Fairground, stand A9. The event runs from October 24-27 with varying opening hours: from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., extending to 7 p.m. on October 25 and 26.
