![]() ![]() The design looked great, and the engine cover was more evenly integrated into the overall round design of the GTR. But the biggest change is the engine cover, now using a design similar to that of the Jaguar XJ220, instead of the original straight lines, Affolter used curves for the air extractors. The fixed front headlight units were slightly redesigned and the small carbon cover was removed. This freerace slalom foil has been updated to use the 105 Evolution fuselage and the new 650 Evolution front wing, matching. The glass part of the roof was removed on the first GTR model, a silver car, but on a later cars like the special pearl yellow/green VT based car, the glass roof returned. However a few changes were made, the roof mounted air intake became a single large one, instead of the two smaller ones on the GT1, probably because the standard SV intakes looked too much like the GT1’s mounted. The green car seen here was based on a Diablo SV, but again, all body panels were replaced with redesigned ones, closely resembling the GT1 version of 1997. In 1998, Roland Affolter presented a slightly modified Diablo GT1, this time named the GTR, and based on either the Diablo SV or the Diablo VT, while the GT1 was based on the standard rear wheel drive one.
