Collector car auction company Barrett-Jackson will handle the sale of the 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT roadster which will be sold in Scottsdale Arizona.
It declined to provide an estimate of Trump’s vehicle, stating that the company is “primarily a No Reserve auction.”
However, when the car was last sold in 2016 it went for a staggering £360,000.
Trump owned the motor until the summer of 2002 and it was one of 132 models produced for the U.S. market between 1997-99, according to a description of the vehicle provided by Barrett-Jackson.
What makes this Diablo a “stand out” is that it was custom ordered by Trump because “of a special relationship with Lamborghini, which provided him with some “loaner” Diablos for brand and model promotional purposes,” the description reads.
The car, which was ordered new, has some personalised features not offered in any of the other models sold that year.
It also has a plaque installed on the door inscribed with “Donald Trump 1997 Diablo,” according to Barrett-Jackson.
This Diablo is powered by a mid-mounted 5.7-liter 48-valve V12 engine that channels 492hp at 7,000 rpm and 430 ft/lbs of torque through a 5-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system.
The Viscous Traction (VT) system redirects torque to the front wheels when needed, resulting in superior traction and enabling the car to rocket to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 202 mph.
The sale includes the car’s manuals/books, two tool bags and a car cover.
This Lamborghini has had two owners since Trump sold it in 2002.
