 *Diablos have been depicted in many car-racing games, particularly the ''Need for Speed'' series.

	Lamborghini began developing the Diablo in 1989 as a replacement for the [[Lamborghini Countach\|Countach]] model, introducing it for sale on January 21, 1991 at a base price of US$240,000. Power came from a 5.7 litre, 48 valve version of the legendary [[Lamborghini V12]] featuring [[DOHC]] and computer-controlled [[electronic fuel injection\|multi-point fuel injection]], producing around 492 horsepower (367 kW) and 427 foot-pounds (579 N·m) of torque. The vehicle could reach 60 mph in around 4 seconds, with an indicated top speed of 212 miles per hour (340 km/h) tested by Sandro Munari. The Diablo was [[~~all~~ wheel drive]] and the engine was [[Mid-engine design\|mid-mounted]] to aid its weight balance.

	Just like the updated versions of the VT coupé and roadster, the 1999 model year SV's changes were primarily limited to cosmetics. It received slight bodywork updates (keeping the exposed headlamps), new wheels and larger brakes in addition to the new [[variable valve timing\|VVT]]-equipped, 530 horsepower (395 kW) motor. The 1999 Diablos also gained a new dashboard. Instead of the traditional flat dashboard with a separate upright instrument binnacle, as on so many Italian supercars, the new dash was of a more fluid, wave shaped design. A thin strip of black glass runs the length of the dash, and instruments lights such as main beam, headlight operation and low fuel warning appear within this strip. The concept was inspired by Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi products.		Just like the updated versions of the VT coupé and roadster, the 1999 model year SV's changes were primarily limited to cosmetics.

The SV's top speed was just 180 mph thanks to close gearing, accelleration was improved because of this. The 1999 Diablos also gained a new dashboard.
