That is a very exclusive Lambo Diablo SV. Its either a 98 or 99 model. About 85 built in 1998 and 25 built in 1999(for the US). I think under 200 for the world. I dont remember if it was RWD or AWD. There were so many Diablos, it was rediclous. I strongly believe it was RWD only. I think one of the first RWD Diablos built.

The second seems to be probably a 2000 Diablo SE 6.0 or VT 6.0.

Correction. The first one is a 1999 because they stopped using the flip-up headlights. And all SV's were RWD with a power increase to 510hp.

i still think lamborghini's are still the sexiest cars on the planet, they turn heads like no other. However....they aren't the best performing...just the best damn looking.

If it's any consolation, you may drive these Diablo SVs in NFS III PC Version.

That might be true and I know many people have complained about that(being a handful to drive, not a daily driver like other exotics) with older models(Diablo, Countach) but not as much with the Murci and Gallardo. I personally couldnt tell you if the new gen of cars are better to drive daily, I'm just going on from what I read in magazines and from what owners say on forums.

To me when you get a car that is incredibly fast, an overall great handler, how could you lose?? How much better can you get than a Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche and other smaller exotic car companies?? If you are able to purchase a car of this caliber, I wouldnt think that one is considerably better than the other(well unless you are talking about the McLaren F1). The only thing better are race cars( Lemans, F1 etc). After that, it all comes down to which looks best.

I can tell you the countach and the diablo SUCK to drive daily. I can attest to that. The bull**** turning radius, the impossibly large blind spots, do NOT help at all. It's hard as hell to look out the back or anything, but still it's a lambo.

Alright....I'm growing to hate you right now. The SLK55, CLS55, E55 with mods, the armored car, then to top it off, you have personal time behind some of the greatest most admired cars on earth?? Me... jealous??!! No, I swear I'm not. Okay, just a little bit....okay a lot. LOL. j/p. Like I said before, nice collection of cars. And being only 2 years older than me, I must be doing something wrong. Teach me your ways!!

Anyway, ya I hear those blind spots are quite incredible and that small rear window, I think some dont even have one, like the Diablo GT and maybe the SV because of the roof scoops. But at the end of the day, throughout all the horrible ergonomics and such, its still a Lambo, and still able to put the smile right back on your face almost instantly.
