The Diablo SV (1995-1999) revived the "Super Veloce" name Lamborghini last used on the Miura. It's the rear-drive car of the mid-1990s lineup, so it carries none of the VT's all-wheel-drive hardware and is around 200 lb (90-95 kg) lighter than the VT and VT Roadster, while making more power at 503 hp (510 PS).
It's the more focused, driver's Diablo: a standard adjustable rear wing, a ducted engine lid derived from the SE30 Jota, and larger front brakes. When Lamborghini dropped the base Coupe in 1998, the SV became the lineup's entry model.

No, and it matters when buying. This entry is the 1995-1998 SV with pop-up headlights and no ABS. In 1999 the SV was facelifted alongside the rest of the range, gaining fixed Nissan-sourced headlights, ABS, and interior updates. They look and feel different, so confirm which one a listing actually is before comparing prices.
