"Here's an automotive devil you won't mind making a deal with. As with all the bulls of Lamborghini, there is more speed to be found here than most roads can allow for. Not only is it as fast as low-flying aircraft, the interior provides creature comforts fit for a king."—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]
The 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV - abbreviated as "Lambo Diablo SV" or "L. Diablo SV '97"[2] - is a rear-wheel drive supercar by Lamborghini.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 2 and all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The Diablo (Spanish for "devil") is the third iteration of Lamborghini's V12 supercar, replacing the decades-old Lamborghini Countach that had been in production since 1974. The Super Veloce (SV) model was introduced in 1995 as the rear-wheel drive counterpart to the all-wheel drive Diablo VT.
The Diablo received a facelift in 1998, which replaced the car's pop-up lights with fixed headlights along with other styling changes. In 2001, the Lamborghini Murciélago was introduced as the Diablo's successor.[3]
