The vehicle mode is NOT based on a Diablo, but an obscure sports car from the 90's which I have trouble remembering the name of. I hope I can find the magazine I first saw it in so I can figure it out eventually, but either way it's no Diablo. It just happens to be slightly similar at the front and even that is a stretch.

The curve of the windows and the back-end of the car is ALSO similar to a Diablo. It's not impossible that there's some obscure European car that Flash resembles more, but I feel skeptical at the moment considering how much Flash looks like every other Diablo Transformers has done, which is several. --ItsWalky 12:46, 26 November 2010 (EST)

The original commenter is correct, it's clearly a Cizeta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cizeta-Moroder_V16T). The reason it is reminiscent to a Diablo is that it is a modified version of the initial Diablo design by Gandini which was toned down for the Diablo but ultimately basically revived in the V16T.
