Lamborghini Diablo SV Coupe 1997
General description :
1997 (R) LAMBORGHINI DIABLO SV Coupe, 2 Door Coupe, Giallo, Nero Alcantra, previous owners 2, 9,000 miles, MOT'd until 13th February, 2015.
When you see an SV badge on a Lamborghini, you just know it means business.
SV, or Super Veloce, has 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 onto a top speed of 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 Diablo SV is a stunning example, certainly one for the serious Lambo collector.
It has covered just 14,682 km and had only 2 owners from new.
The exterior is Giallo paintwork with Nero SV graphics and the interior is Nero alcantara with Giallo stitching and logos.
The car is very original, down the OZ Racing stickers on the wide split rims and the unused white gloves in the complete toolkit.
All the original Alpine sound system is present, as are the Lamborghini floor mats.
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.
It is currently undergoing full preparation including machine polishing of the paintwork ready to be displayed in our showroom.
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.

About Lamborghini
Ah, the fiery tale of Lamborghini, a true icon born from the sparks of frustration with the Prancing Horse! Picture yourself in the early 1960s, a time when the automotive world was dominated by the likes of Ferrari. Now, enter Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer and a man with a passion for powerful machines.Act 1: The Frustration (1963)
Ferruccio, a proud owner of several Ferraris, found himself dissatisfied with the clutch in his 250 GT. Frustrated, he marched into Enzo Ferrari's office to air his grievances. The meeting didn't go as planned, with Enzo dismissing Ferruccio's concerns, suggesting that he stick to building tractors. Well, that was like waving a red flag at a bull.
Act 2: The Birth of Lamborghini (1963)
Fuelled by a mixture of frustration and determination, Ferruccio decided to take matters into his own hands. In 1963, he founded Automobili Lamborghini. His vision? To create grand touring cars that rivaled, or even surpassed, the offerings of Ferrari.
Act 3: The Pioneering Models (1960s-1970s)
And thus, the Lamborghini legend began with the release of the Miura in 1966. Designed by Marcello Gandini, this mid-engined masterpiece was a trailblazer, the world's first true supercar. With a V12 engine mounted behind the driver, the Miura set the standard for performance and style.
Following the Miura's success, Lamborghini introduced the iconic Countach in the early '70s. Marcello Gandini once again worked his magic, giving birth to a wedge-shaped wonder that became a poster child for a generation. The Countach wasn't just a car; it was an automotive revolution.
Act 4: The Design Maestros
Behind the scenes, designers like Marcello Gandini and later Giugiaro played pivotal roles in shaping Lamborghini's distinct aesthetic. Gandini's work on the Miura and Countach cemented Lamborghini's reputation for bold, angular designs that pushed the boundaries of automotive styling.
Act 5: The Legacy and Modern Marvels
As the decades unfolded, Lamborghini continued to innovate and produce iconic models. The Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador, and the more recent Huracán and Urus all carry the Lamborghini DNA – a perfect blend of power, performance, and unmistakable design.
Epilogue: A Fierce Rivalry
The Lamborghini-Ferrari rivalry became legendary, driving both companies to push the limits of automotive engineering. Lamborghini, born out of frustration, emerged not just as a competitor but as a trailblazer, leading the way for mid-engined supercars that continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
So, there you have it, the epic saga of Lamborghini – a story of frustration turned into a symphony of roaring engines, sleek designs, and a legacy that forever changed the landscape of high-performance automobiles.
