All 12 1999 Diablo VT's used state of the art Alpine in-car equipment, radar/laser detection system, the
CVA-1005 Alpine Multimedia station with intergrated navigation system. Naturally an Alpine DVD player and 6 disc
CD changer were installed together with special Alpine tweeters, midrange and massive subwoofer, two seperate
remote controls were needed to pilot this equipment.
Other special Alpine Edition features inside the Diablo VT were Carbon Fiber interior trim and special Alpine logo
and production number embroided on both headrests together with custom Alpine floor mats.
The exterior of the car was mostly like the standard 1999 edition VT for the US market, using the Roadster type
front and rear bumper together with the rims which on most Alpine Editions were chromed with gold plated fixing
screws, while a color coded SV style rear wing was mounted with a Carbon Fiber adjustable fin.
Other special Alpine Edition features on the outside were Carbon Fiber fins on the air intakes in front of
the rear wheels, Carbon Fiber taillight bezels and Carbon Fiber trim on the Xenon headlights and door trim.

The first Lamborghini Diablo Alpine Editions were based on the 1998 Diablo SV model, while in 1999 the Diablo VT was used,
the Alpine blue Diablo SV featured in the image gallery also used the Roadster style lower side air intakes but the
rest of the exterior was kept standard, even the massive SV decal was still present.
