This is the Lamborghini Diablo SV, a beast from 1998 with a V12 engine, a manual transmission, and those massive "SV" letters down the side. It's up for auction on Cars and Bids, where enthusiasts can get their hands on this rare and desirable supercar. The SV model packs 510 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, and unique features like larger brakes and distinctive roof scoops. Inside, you'll find a mix of cool elements like carbon fiber trim and sport seats, alongside some oddities such as an unconventional steering wheel and airbag placement.
But the quirks don't stop there. The Diablo SV boasts unlabeled buttons for suspension control, a bizarre climate control panel, and a kilometer odometer in a US-sold car. The gated manual shifter's dog-leg configuration adds to the car's unique character, along with warning lights placed in unusual spots and seat belts that clip in from the center. The interior is a mix of high-performance features and eccentric design choices, creating a truly memorable driving experience.
Under the hood lies the iconic Lamborghini V12 engine, proudly displaying the firing order of the cylinders and the Raging Bull logo. Pop-up headlights add to the Diablo SV's charm, while the front storage compartment offers surprising cargo space for a supercar. This Diablo is not just a car; it's a piece of automotive history, with a blend of power, style, and quirks that make it a standout in the world of exotic cars.
