The very extensive modifications to the bodywork actually improve performance and road handling, and you must admit it looks menacing, but the
interior isn't overseen either, full leather - alcantara upholstery and some Carbon Fiber parts are installed making it obvious these Affolter
Specials are race oriënted. In case you would forget about this, the 550 Bhp V12 just behind your back is waiting to remind you just how
much power this represents.
Let's face it, not everybody will like this 'renewal' course, but you must admit that it takes a lot of effort to completely restyle
a Lamborghini like Affolter did on these cars.
They mounted nearly a complete now body on the chassis, with bigger air intakes all around to allow an improved airflow into the engine
compartment. The front received a new spoiler incorporating different turn signals and high beams and shows a massive central air intake
which actually feeds air right into the opening in the front hood, offering a bigger downforce on the front axle at high speed.
The front headlight units have been replaced with fixed items, similar to those used on the 1999 MY Diablo model, also the entire rear section
of the Diablo had been modified, using different taillights and showing a nice 'quadruple' exhaust centrally mounted.
This specific car received a stunning pearl metallic green bodywork, the same color is also applied to the central spiders of the Work wheels, who
boast 18 inch and use Pirelli PZero tires. These cover massive drilled disk brakes with eight piston Brembo brake cylinders derived from the racing
circuit to be able to stop this 'plus 300 Km/h' devil ...
The interior found inside this Diablo SV GTR also 'suffered' from the tuning fever ... a leather-alcantara upholstery, note the headrests ... the

GTR logo has been cut from the leather and shows some real Carbon Fiber underneath. The dashboard was replaced by this new design, featuring a lot of
Carbon Fiber touches making the 'racing' impression complete.
You could say that the best music inside a Diablo comes from behind your ears, but for those rare moments the engine is silent, a magnificent sound
system was mounted, among others a Clarion screen will allow you to either watch some TV or to use it as a display for the rear view camera that
was mounted underneath the rear wing.
