Flanders Collection Cars: Lamborghini

Flanders Collection Car is a car show for collector’s cars, classics, oldtimers and amazing sportscars. This year the organizers decided to concentrate themselves on Lamborghini, one of the most respected supercarbrands in the world. As this show concentrates itself on more ‘older’ cars, we got the chance to see 8 classic Lamborghini’s as well as 3 more recent models. What’s certainly very interesting is that all cars on display are for sale.



When entering the exhibition hall one of the best Lambo’s on display was right in front of us. The to 31 pieces limited edition Diablo SVR, unveiled at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a lightweight competition version of the ’standard’ SV running on a 5.7 liter V12 and 540 bhp strong engine. Beside this one, there was also first generation red Diablo VT displayed. To refresh your mind we can tell you that this Diablo also has a 5.7 liter V12 in the back producing 529 bhp. The 0 – 100 kmh (62 mph) time is 3.8 seconds. Of course the Diablo’s successor was present in the shape of a white Murciélago LP640.



Next eye-catching car was the 1982 Countach S5000. With it’s 5 liter engine it had an improved performance combined with a very good looking but rather special bodywork. The Countach could sprint from standstill to 100 kmh (62 mph) in just under 6 seconds and reach a topspeed of almost 320 kmh (200 mph). About 676 examples of this car were ever made.



Also special and always nice to stare at is the Miura SV. Lamborghini gave the V12 of the standard Miura an extra 15 bhp bringing it to a total of 385 bhp. With a limited production of just 150 cars, we were glad so see this one live as we know sure that not all Miura SV’s are still ‘alive’.
