Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition.
In 1998 a special edition Diablo SV was created for the United States market,
the Diablo SV Monterey.
This very special limited SV edition was only 20 times made, so they were sold
out almost at once, and prices went up. If you could obtain one through some
dealer you would have to pay big. The Monterey Edition used a slightly redesigned
air intake in front of the rear wheels, like the ones used on the SE30 and the
Diablo Roadster.
Some sources state horsepower rating was over 535 Bhp, but that number
wasn't confirmed by any official source.
Some of the 20 cars I could find in the were finished in rather strange colors like
Lime Green, Pearl Yellow, Verde Scandal and Le Mans Blue, while the very last
one, number 20 was finished in Lightning Blue over cream and was sold through
Prestige Imports in Florida.
The red car with Chromed wheels featured on this page was in fact number 3 of 20,
driven by none other than Mario Andretti in front of 50 other Lamborghini cars in
"The run of the Bulls". This car is in fact finished in Rosa Targa, a special metallic
paint that changes shades from red to purple according to the surrounding light,
with a bright white leather upholstery. This specific car also included the carbon
fibre gear shifter, leather luggage set and an engine pumping out over 550 Bhp,
a Brembo 15 inch drilled disc brake set and to finish the list a custom made Tubi
exhaust system.
The Diablo SV Monterey will set you back about $ 245,000, if you can locate one,
since this Monterey is the last Diablo using the old headlight treatment, it
could very well become an instant collectible.
