1999 Lamborghini Diablo
The 1999 Lamborghini Diablo was dubbed the fastest production car in the world; its newer design and engine (which ultimately influenced the restyling changes for the 6.0 Diablo) were the most technically advanced of any Diablo yet:
- new Lamborghini V12, 6 litre engine
- new design of the body
- wider front track
- improved chassis and suspension
- reduced weight
As much as the SV (Sport Veloce) was already a near race-ready version of the Diablo, the limited run GT model went even further. The 1999 Lamborghini Diablo GT had a modified version of the V12 engine, bored out to 6.0 litres and produced 575 horsepower (430 kW).
Enlarged brakes, an improved and lower riding suspension and owner-specific gearing that was customized by the factory were other mechanical changes. More aggressive bodywork with flared fenders and wider wheels were introduced.
Only 80 1999 Diablo units were produced in total and the vehicle was sold officially only in Europe at a starting price of $238,800 USD.
