Lamborghini Diablo SV - The Charm of a 90s Supercar 

The Diablo SV was always the car of choice when I played Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit as a kid. Good times 😂

Timeless design! Still looks more beautiful than modern day supercars. The roof scoopes, the curvature of the doors is just sensational

Traction control is the super wide rear tires and wing... good luck.

It reminds me COSMIC GIRL from Jamiroquai

This is my bedroom wall poster car I had from 5 years old and sparked my interest in cars.. This car will always be legendary!

The 90's were the best years for cars! 993 series, f355, Diablo, F1, e36 series, NSX, XJ220 etc...

Best Color! Such an iconic spec for a Diablo.

This one and the f50 are the best looking cars of that time

Purple Diablo...i will always remember this, from the 1990's! This was one of my dream cars, as it appeared in this colour, in Topgear magazine! Up there with a silver XJ220, a royal blue Aston Martin Vantage 600, a grigor titanium Ferrari 550, red F355, a purple paradiso TVR 5.0 Chimera and a dark blue late 90's Subaru Impreza Turbo.

"Gotta love the 90s". I absolutely do. I had a lot of posters from 90s supercars on my walls when I was a kid. They looked better and sounded better back then and they were made for people who knew how to drive. Also, they were rare and special. I remember a time that Ferrari made only 3 models, F355, 456M, and 550 Maranello. These days it's hard to keep track of all these supercars, especially with Mclaren making 1000 models of the same car! It definitely makes today's supercars less special.

Saw a yellow Diablo a few weeks ago in town. Heard it before I saw it. Very wide, very low. Cars like these stick out so much among 'regular' cars.

Bring back the 90s... a great era for -super- cars enthusiasts.

The 90’s is and always will be my favorite era for cars👌

I will always love a proper analog supercar like this one. Like you said: not everyone can just go out and drive one. I personally love that you have to learn and repsect these cars. If not? They give you a slap.

The Diablo SV and GT are still the best looking Lamborghinis ever made IMO. This is the first SV I've seen wearing the 1994 SE30 paint color and I LOVE it!

Ridiculous but awesome cars. Wait years to see a Diablo SV and now that's 2 in a week (yelllow one drove past me yesterday - legend)

In 1999 i tested a red Lamborghini Diablo VT with the same dash and it was the best car ever ... Dumb and Dumber introduced this Legend and i fell in love with it since 🚘 What a car .

That was absolutely amazing !!!! My dream supercar from the 90's in the perfect color 🙌🏽 There are more ultimate versions of the Diablo but this is the one to have, with or without the SV tatooed to its side ! Well done for picking the right one 👏🏽 Looking forward to more videos !

It's been my favorite car since I was a late-90s kid and played NFS Hot Pursuit 3 on my 95-98 computer. I had a big poster of it on my wall. It's gotta be either yellow with the black SV logo, or purple (with a black or gold logo). Awesome video! I'd better start saving my pennies....

This is a very authentic and accurate review of the Lamborghini Diablo in a SV iteration. I own 3 Diablos one of which is a 1993 SE30 in Lavender Purple; a 95 Diablo VT and a 2001 Diablo VT 6.0 in Viola Ophelia (purple pearl). The driver/reviewer in this SCD review is spot on.

Back in the 90’s I was lucky enough to passenger in both Countach and Diablo’s whilst drag racing on the Taxi-way at Southend airport with the Lamborghini club UK. Although the Countach was my school boy dream poster car I much preferred the Diablo. Funny enough the car that really impressed the Lamborghini guys back then was a lone BMW 850 CSI that was able to launch far harder than the assembled Lamborghini’s.

Ahh. This car in that color was my dream. Bumped to 530hp soo nice!

My dream car

The 90s were timeless. Diablo definitely helped make that era’s mark in history.

My favourite 90s car is the Porsche 993 RS. A very pretty car with the standard (small) RS wing, 300hp, and all the details just right (Recaro buckets, beautiful Speedline alloys unique to the car, some weight saving bits). Not too ostentatious either!

If I ever won the lottery, I'd 100% do a no expenses spared 1999 Diablo VT (with the end goal of having look like or be "inspired by" the 99/2000 Diablo GT) restomod with the goal of getting the thing down to around 2800-3000lbs (fully carbon body, etc), around 850hp to the wheels, widebody, fully updated interior, fix all the known problems, etc

Great to listen to someone who understands how to drive a real supercar and not just be a passenger to computers and electronics! Great review.

The owner is so lucky! I have a 1:18th scale model in the exact colour!

I used to drive a Clio v6 255, until an old lady crashed into it and wrote it off. It was an absolutely lovely looking, and great fun car to drive. The noise it made, especially when driven with the sound proofing and heat shielding removed! Such fun! I’ve not driven a Diablo, but I really do want another v6 Clio..

A Legendary car that will forever live in the Hearts of the automobile lover

What a machine. Those pics of it next to the m3. Dwarfed by the bm from the front. Yet looks twice the size of it from the rear! 😃 bonkers

Great video! Not over produced and edited like so many car videos can be

Dream car since saw it in a jamrquai clip when I was 10 yo

This used to be my favourite car, along with the Ferrari F50, when I was a child (born in 1995, same year as the SV 😎) thanks to countless hours playing NFS Hot Pursuit and High Stakes! Amazing video! The purple looks stunning and it sounds epic as well. I'm surprised there's only 12 in the UK, I thought there'd be more. Anyway, my top favourite 90s supercars - F50, Diablo SV, F1, XJ220, CLK GTR and Elise GT1.

Fabulous car, good descriptive video. Great camera work.

By far one of the best reviews of my favorite 90's supercar. I could have watched this for hours. Great job!

Excellent review! I would pick the Diablo SV over the newer supercars every sunday cruise :) Keep up the great work!

Without a doubt the most beautiful Lamborghini ever made If I won the lottery I wouldn’t bother with the aventador this is it colour and the noise is awesome amazing supercar!

I've ALWAYS wanted this car in this exact colour, I weep at my inability to ever attain it :(

Brilliant video thanks. I owned a black Diablo for 6 years and loved it. I upgraded to a Murcielago which is also an awesome car. I’ve recently bought an Aventador (All cars in black!) which is great but the annoying thing is lights come on, service lights, brake lights etc and it’s only done 4K miles! The old cars with no computer crap I think is way better!

Love these, from a time when supercars would kill you for getting it wrong. I have driven a Lambo Perf and really didn't rate it, you really can drive them every day. For me a supercar is an event to drive and special at every turn. Cars like this have that magic that has sadly disappeared in recent years but as said the newer cars work when you need them to and can be driven easier when you don't feel like really driving them.

Awesome V12, and still looks and sounds fantastic 👌

Nice to see someone driving a Diablo in Yorkshire and not binning it in a field. Great video thanks.

I was just reading about this car this morning, the video was posted like 2 hours afterward!

Great Video, I own a Diablo love it to bits

I came looking for a Diablo SV in purple and here she is. My dream car from my posters on my wall as a kid. Great video thanks a lot!

I used to own that car back in 1998/99 I couldn’t go anywhere in it because people and police would not leave me alone. All they wanted to do was take pictures and look. I dealt out of it for a 355 F1 Spider which was far more user friendly. Good to see it still out there though !!

When you see a car designed by Gandini you know it's an instant hit!

I'm not a Lambo guy, they're too shouty for me, ironically I've always loved a Diablo in this purple colour 😂

Diablos are the best. Love 'em.

The 90s were truly a golden era for cars: Diablo; McLaren F1; Ferrari 512tr, f355, F50; Lotus Esprit 300; Porsche 911 turbo S (964), 928 GTS; Lancia Delta Integrale EVO; Maserati Shamal; BMW 850 CSI, M3 (e36) and M5 (e34); Merc SL (r129), e500 (w124) and 190 evo2; Mitsu 3000GT; Supra; RX7; Impreza GT; Skyline GT-R (R33)... Thank you for this review!

Please do a video on the Ferrari F50, my all time favorite!

My exact dream car.

That heavy throttle pedal IS the traction control. Makes you think twice before you unleash the fury of the V12 on those rear tires

I forgot how amazing that car looks.

Dream car! Even now, the design is the best. Wouldn't it be nice if it were remade now?

My favoutire car of all time. 💜

2022 and still my fav car

Great video what a car

It's like "Last of the summer wine" on steroids.

Stick-shift Ferrari F355 Berlinetta = my favorite car of the ‘90s.

Beautiful.

This is my dream car i grew up with a poster of this on my wall and you have it in the same colour as the one on my wall and personally for me the best colour for them Viola purple. One day i hope to get the opportunity to have a ride in one although they do always say dont meet your heros as the might disappoint you. Man what a car, lucky owner

Bloody hell that's a sexy car! Could you do a video on a Manual Murciélago? Great video mate!

🐂Diablo 😍😍😍...BEST 90's car EVER 💜💜💜💜💜💜!!!

Drove one of these on a track day many years ago- a real challenge to drive. Narrow pedal box, a gear lever at elbow height, and slightly further back than you’d like. Got overtaken by a Cooper S driven by an instructor, and I tried to keep up- nearly spun it on the next bend. The weight of that V12 against your back was all prevailing. I certainly was nowhere near mastering the SV. Favourite 90s supercar? Has to be McLaren F1, followed by Ferrari F355

I've just had the pleasure of being overtaken by this car and it instantly reminded me of this video

Diablo 🥰

This is my hero car!

Some great footage there guys! Incredible car.

Really great content of late guys keep em coming!

Wow sounds superb adam, great job jonty

Great vid, though I cannot stand the term hypercar. The Diablo SV is one my fav bulls, and it sounds like a 70s Le Mans racer. Easily the greatest sounding engine ever.

Good road test and agree with everything you said about the car. I have the twin Diablo SV same colour.

Gorgeous color

Always loved the deep dish monster rear tires on cars

Diablo SV... my dream car...❤

Love it Jonty. SCD HQ looks pretty special at a glance from the showroom. Any chance of a video one day to show us around the collection from past and present?

Beautiful car and a very nice simple review

This and the lotus Carlton in my dream garage thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely stunning that Colour is amazing

I love my Diablo. and its true it is the last of the pure greats

Great video, driving one of these is an event.

Beautiful!

This is my dream car

Thank you for sharing. 😊

diablo will be always legendary car.

Amazing car and video

Great review brother 👊

Aye up lad what a cracking car and video well done lads ;)

My god the sound of that V12!!

Forget Top Gear, this is what everyone should be watching.

keep thinking its SE 30 cos of the colour 😎😂

It's my favorite car ever made😎

Could you do a car test of Diablo SV 99, Diablo VT6.0, Diablo SE30 JOTA and normal SE30, Diablo SV-R, Diablo GT and GTR and Diablo VT6.0 SE. If you will do, do the drop clutch technique to propel this car 0-60 in 3.0 - 3.2 seconds.

Beautiful, just how a supercar should look

Nothing looks better than lamborghini diablo.

This is awsome... Thankyou

McLaren F1 and Lamborghini Diablo - the best cars ever build!

Great car, F1 top of the 90s then F50, Jaguar XJ220, Dodge Viper GTS, TVR Cerbera Bugatti EB110, Diablo as well. Modern cars no character
