It's 01 W 60

There's a small dot between the 6 and 0 so it reads 6.0 , the engine capacity. I've a pic of it somewhere, it's orange.

Edit: Can't be arsed finding it, but here's a good one off the net. Great machine, driver and colour suit it perfectly.

Hi all! Indeed that is my exige

I must admit the sagaris is a love or hate car! The colors also completely change the look of it as i will show you below. I actually didn't originally want that color which is reflex purple and it doesn't show great in some pictures but i did fall in love with it then. Here's a couple more to show how different the paint can look!









Best part was the interior though







The original sagaris i ordered was in Chameleon Green but unfortunately it was 'lost' when the factory closed. I adore this color on them, here's mine in the factory -





And another finished sagaris in the chameleon green -






Another two amazing colors in sagari are Cascade Copper -





And Chameleon Orange -





I really miss that car, it was amazing. Regret selling it big time!!!!

Orange would be my favourite colour too. if you don't mind me asking Funky which car would you prefer, the Lambo or the TVR and why?

Btw sorry for being nosey but what happened to the Diablo? Do you still have it or is it still in Ireland?

I was behind a Red Diablo leaving the airport on Friday evening... Lovely sound out of it, it wasn't on Irish plates... On Swiss plates I think

You sure it wasn't an Aventador?

FunkyExige

Daved - that would have been an aventador, very cool car

Matt - that would be my second favorite, it's totally different in person and very very nice!!!

Bijapos - I could never give the diablo up! I searched years for the 6.0 model in orange had I got the sagaris that was custom built from the factory for me then I also would never have been able to sell it! But it just so happened I had some bad luck it and reacted too fast to sell, but I will have another sagaris at some stage

Which would I preferre is a very hard question and the answer would change a fair bit! The diablo is amazing, really easy to drive and the power is nuts. It's perfect to dive long distances and is also easy in traffic which is a big surprise. It's an all rounder and never fails to bring a smile when you put the foot down. Plus it's a serious event everytime you step into it to drive it!

The Tvr is a crazy animal. You never know what's going to happen in it. It's not easy to drive but that's the fun of it. It can seriously bite your head off if you relax at all. It also wasn't very reliable. I know tvrs have that name anyway but oddly the sagari changed all that and was very reliable but I got one of the last built by the factory and it was a bit of a lemon. It wouldn't have been a problem if I lived in the uk to get things sorted but it got old when you had to take it back for all the electrical gremlins. I know a good chunk of sagari owners and I was actually the only one who ever had trouble and it was down to the fact the car was left outside at a dealers when it was brand new for a few months if I had more patience and had brought it to the right independent at the time it all would have been sorted very easy.

So anyway the answer is Tvr for crazy, adrenaline and hopping out with your heart beating faster then ever before.

Diablo for knowing it will always be an event and never quite believing your driving such an awesome car with such a crazy big beast of an engine.

Nope it was a red Diablo GTR... I was behind it at the lights.. The Diablo is my fave Lamborghini so I'm sure.. It was not the Adventador that's been doing the rounds lately

You sure? There was only 40 Gtr's made in the world! It would be a very very rare spot and I don't think they ever made a Gtr in red. Would be cool if it was though

Hey we all start somewhere, a petrolhead is a petrolhead no matter what they drive Sure the exige is a quater the price of the diablo but it still feels nearly as special when driving it!

Well it had the GTR badge on it & it had the big flat T wing on the back... I remember a few years back spending sometime in the support race pits at the F1 in Melbourne the year that the GTR race series was the main support race & what I saw on Friday look like a road going version of them for sure....

Mind you that's not to say that the owner didn't just put the wing & the badge on... But I'd hope that sort of thing doesn't happen with Lamborghini drivers

Wow wish you had a picture would have been the spot of the year! You would hope that sort of thig wouldn't happen but I've seen worse! Did you happen to notice a roof scoop? That would be harder to just tack on then the badge and spoiler?

Hi, there is a picture of the GTR a few pages back in the thread, general consensus is it a kit car.

Spent some time driving behind your diablo at the Cannonball in 2010, I had a 997 at the time. Drove from Denegal to westport with your Lambo and the silver ford GT. I felt like the poor one!!!!!!:)

Link to the pic?? Sorry to the chap that originally spotted it but you did not see a red Diablo GTR driving around Dublin Airport, maybe some other Diablo model or the Aventador on Swiss plates but it was definitely not a real Diablo GT or Diablo GTR.
