This guy in Georgia wanted to restore the iconic Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini – sometimes also called Victoria’s Secret Diablo – a 1998 Lamborghini Diablo designed specifically for a Victoria’s Secret marketing campaign.
The car was in decent condition, finished in a unique shade of pearlescent white that aged quite well.
But paint aside, there were two other things that made the Victoria’s Secret Diablo unique.
And one of these things meant the car was an absolute pain to restore.

In 1998, Victoria’s Secret and Lamborghini partnered up to create a Lamborghini Diablo for a Victoria’s Secret marketing campaign.
Admittedly, it wasn’t a collab you’d expect, but it worked, and the end of result was the stunning all-white VS Lamborghini Diablo you see here.
The 1998 Lamborghini Diablo that Victoria’s Secret used had two main distinguishing features.
The first feature was the all-white color theme.
Everything was white, including the wing and the bumpers.
In order to make it look perfect, Ed Bolian and his team at DC MotorWerks in Georgia had to repaint the front bumper with painstaking precision, which wasn’t easy at all because finding the correct shade of pearlescent was a nightmare.
The second thing that set the Victoria’s Secret Diablo apart was the set of stickers that adorned the supercar, and this is where the real challenge began.
Ed and his team had to replicate the stickers to match the catalog’s look, which was hard to do because there aren’t that many images available today.
Applying stickers on a car to recreate a specific livery is probably as not as difficult as hand-painting the vehicle, but it’s a close second.
It wasn’t easy but they got it done, and now the Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini is ready to hit the road again.
