The design was completed and a sample vehicle displayed at the Geneva Auto Show in 1996.

[1] Utilizing the drivetrain and 492 hp (367 kW) V12 engine from the Diablo, but eliminating the Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system, as well as the extensive use of carbon fiber for the body work made the vehicle significantly lighter than the Diablo, thus potentially faster.

To make up for the lack of ABS and the higher potential speeds, an upgrade from the Diablo's braking system was used.

Most media sources speculated that it would have been an excellent car to bridge the gap between the Diablo and its successor, then called the Canto, but Lamborghini did not produce the Raptor.

He owned the only prototype until 2000, when it was auctioned at the Geneva Auto Show and bought by a private car collector.
