This 1999 Lamborghini Diablo SV in question is purported to be the very last Lamborghini to leave the factory gates before VW took over, making it, in some people’s eyes, the last “true” Lamborghini with a properly sharp edge. VW officially took the reins in 1998, but production changes didn’t reach the Diablo until the VT 6.0 and 6.0 SE versions.
This Diablo has seen a fair bit of use in its 17 years, covering around 32,000 miles. Done up in a rather rare Pearl Red/Orange paint scheme, this wild supercar packs a 5.7-liter V-12 under the rear decklid, sending 529 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
Inside, an attractive gray/black interior combination wraps around a right-hand drive layout.
This Diablo received a “suspension and chassis restoration” in 2013, which amounted to over $14,000.
