Lamborghini Diablo SV 6.0 2001

Lamborghini produced aggressively styled, lightweight machines with massive V12 engines putting power to the road. Creature comforts were an afterthought and driving them was not even an easy task. They were not cars that you bought simply to show you had the money to buy one – it was more akin to buying a Harley-Davidson motorcycle – you had to be macho enough to drive these beasts.Low slung bucket seats that seem to be inches from the road surface are thinly padded, yet supportive. The 6.0 models received a carbon fiber center console that was revolutionary at the time as well as a new steering wheel design.
New air conditioning and stereo systems were also included to make the car seem more comfortable – when there is a 6.0-liter V12 sitting a foot behind your head nothing is overly comfortable, but they gave it a good try.The decision had been made to do whatever was necessary to get the Diablo back to its peak and be able to fight off other supercar contenders. The solution came from boring out the V12 engine to 6.0-liters. This and a few smaller enhancements gave the car a mighty 550hp at 7,100rpm and 457 lb-ft of torque at 5,500rpm. Adding power and shaving weight is always a good combination so the weight savings from the use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels in association with 550hp led this Lambo to 60mph in 3.4 seconds. The Diablo was sure to shine just fine until the new Murcielago was complete.
