1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV
1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV
Facts
Description
The Lamborghini Diablo SV not only derives its name from the final iteration of the legendary Miura, but also evokes an image of speed, agility, and grace—qualities that define Lamborghini’s ultimate variant of the Diablo coupe.
Produced in a total of 346 units between 1996 and 2000, the Diablo SV was inspired by the 1996 Super Trophy, in which a number of identical, race-prepared Diablo SV-Rs competed in a new racing series. This road-going version was created for drivers who value pure performance over luxury options.
Powered by a 5.7-liter V12 engine producing over 500 bhp, the Diablo SV delivers an immediate sense of acceleration, sprinting from 0–100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and exceeding speeds of 300 km/h.
Newly developed, larger, cross-drilled brake discs and a revised front spoiler with prominent brake-cooling ducts provide highly efficient braking, paired with specially designed OZ 5-spoke alloy wheels.
Most Diablo SVs were equipped with matte black interior panels and finished in Alcantara, emphasizing the car’s purposeful, performance-focused character. Many examples were delivered in yellow, blue, red, and white. Distinctive features include the black rear wing and a purpose-built engine cover incorporating twin scoops to channel air directly to the air filter boxes.
The Lamborghini Diablo SV was designed with one fundamental goal: sheer driving pleasure, combining racing-inspired performance with Lamborghini’s signature style and exclusivity.
