As the Lamborghini Countach Anniversario was built to celebrate 25 years since the Automobile Lamborghini SpA came to life, such was the Diablo SE30 for their 30th anniversary.
Presented during the Lamborghini Day in 1993 in Sant’Agata, the SE30 was the sportiest vehicle built by Lamborghini by then. SE stood for Special Edition and the SE30 was indeed special, as it was designed as a street-legal race car that was lighter and more powerful than the standard Diablo.

To achieve the reduced weight, Lamborghini replaced the power glass side windows with fixed plexiglas, as well as removed the luxurious features found in the original version, such as the air-conditioning and the power steering.

Aesthetically, the SE30 was restyled and featured a new front fascia, as well as a front deeper spoiler. The emblem was moved from the luggage lid to the nose panel of the vehicle and a larger spoiler was offered as standard equipment.

Inside, the SE30 was equipped with small carbon seats that grabbed the occupants with a 4-point harness to hold them tight.

Built in a limited series, only 15 SE30 units were produced, with 15 of them being converted to the Jota specification, a factory modification kit designed to turn the regular SE30 into a pure race car.
