AUTOart is getting back to its roots with an early Lamborghini model, this is the 1:18 Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota. The exterior is finished in Metallic White and the interior is dressed in Black and Red, just delicious. Full access is available too. There are two colours scheduled for release, details are shared below.

OMG, finally! After how many years of wishing they would make this version, I can finally add one into my collection.
Probably it will be the best 1:18 Lamborghini Diablo from AutoArt… Simply because their old die-cast 1:18 Diablo 6.0 was a nightmare…
Please AutoArt, take my money now! This is fabulous news, cannot wait for this model. I will probably get both colours. Well done AutoArt. 😀
The exhaust pipes look incredibly cheap.
AutoArt chose a strange color, most of the cars were produced in purple and black, and they didn’t see white and blue. There was also something wrong with the proportions of the body, possibly due to small wheels.
Err, well, according to our friend Lambodiecast.com, whom I consider THE authority on Lambo models, “in real life there are two Lamborghini Diablo SE30 JOTA that were finished in white, the nr 137 which was located in Japan at the time of writing, and the nr 150, yes, the very last Diablo SE30 ever built came with the JOTA kit straight from the factory and was sold to Saudi Arabia … […] this latter one had a burgundy Alcantara interior.”
It´s probably based on this: https://exclusivecarregistry.com/lamborghini/diablose30/580120180815205019

Wheres the Purple??
Not sure!
Yes I was waiting for the purple as well!
There will be a normal SE30 in purple, no Jota announced …yet. Sales strategies! Who´d by the other versions if you could buy the SE 30 Jota in purple straight away?
It is a shame they have missed the ‘Jota’ word off the badge, that all real factory SE30 Jota had. A small but significant difference from the standard SE30.
The “Jota” badge was not installed on all of them. I guess, the blue Jota announced by AUTOart is modeled on the one sold by Sotheby´s in Monaco. And guess what? The auction photos reveal: no “Jota” badge!

The timing of the Jotas on sale match the usual 2/3-year-timeline for development to release of a model: AUTOart have probably modelled their Jotas on these two, the blue one at Sotheby´s and the white one at Peeters. Plus Peeters had/still has the normal SE30s in black and the signature purple.
