Description:

When you see an SV badge on a Lamborghini, you just know it means business.,SV, or SuperVeloce, has been used by Lamborghini to mark a truly special version of their cars since the 1970's, and each time the cars have been wilder and as always very collectable.,,The Diablo SV was based on the 2WD Diablo, back before Audi made all the cars 4WD.,The V12 was tuned to now deliver 510 bhp which shot the car to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and increased the top speed to 204 mph.,,The car gained a larger rear wing, huge air intakes over the engine cover, full alcantara interior and the option of SV graphics.,,This 1997 (P) Diablo SV is a stunning example, certainly one for the serious Lamborghini collector.,It has covered 64, 815km (40, 273 Miles) and 8 Owners from new.,,The exterior is in the true Diablo colour, Giallo paintwork with the interior in Nero with Giallo Stitching and SV Logos Stitched into the Headrests.,,It is presented in outstanding condition, as you would expect of a car of this heritage.,,With the prices of classic Lamborghini's soaring and Diablo's becoming increasingly difficult to find, we have no doubt this will be an investment car and one that is important to the brands history.,,If you would like more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact our sales team on 01772 663 777.,,Viewing is strictly by appointment only.,,Lamborghini launched a facelifted Diablo in 1999, simplifying the model range by eliminating the "base" Diablo (since the SV model had become the new entry-level trim anyway) and applying universal revisions across the lineup. The most immediately noticeable exterior change was the replacement of the previous Diablo's pop-up headlamp units with fixed composite lenses, borrowed under license from their original application in the Nissan 300ZX Z32. All Diablos were also fitted with new 18 inch wheels.,,The Diablo range also received an updated interior. Instead of the traditional flat dashboard with a separate upright instrument binnacle, as in many Italian sports cars of the era (and the previous Diablo), the new dash was an integrated wave-shaped design. A thin strip of black glass ran the length of the dash and contained various instrument indicator and warning lamps. This aesthetic design was inspired by Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi products.,,Under the engine lid, the tried-and-true V12 was bumped to 536 PS (394 kW; 529 hp) and 605 N.m (446 lb.ft) of torque for both the SV and VT models and now featured variable valve timing. For the first time ever in a Lamborghini, the Diablo was equipped with a Kelsey-Hayes ABS unit, complementing larger diameter brake rotors.. LAMBORGHINI. DIABLO. SV 2DR Manual. Petrol.
