Amazing review. NF3 told us "Drive a Diablo and Expect to be the center of attention wherever you go". This design is still uncontested till this day. The shape, the hips, the roof scoopes, its just a timeless masterpiece. I'd still take this over the new recycled Lambo designs.
Those NFS bits in the intro were just epic! As someone who grew up obsessively playing those early 90s NFS games, I can't tell you how good it feels to see one of them getting a mention in any car review (especially as everyone keeps banging on about the later Blackbox games), and needless to say, the Diablo SV is one of my all-time favourite cars thanks to those games. This was a great video to watch!
This car was the most OP in NFS Hot Pursuit in the Exotic series. You can play it as well, since the Diablo in Hot Pursuit is too broken for Most Wanted modes.
Still remember Colin Goodwin's test drive from July '96 issue! And thanks for original Hot Pursuit reference! Greets from long-time reader from Russia!
My perfect 2 car garage: An F40 (best of the 80s) and a Diablo (best of the 90s IMO) :) Thanks for the great video. Keep up the amazing content. Fantastic video editing by the way!
I was brought up no Porsche as my dad had a dealership, so I was hooked on them, till I went around goodwood race track in a Diablo, we went 155mph in a turbo Porsche it was 130mph then I was absolutely hooked on Lamborghini.
Lamborghini had a real job on their hands to create a successor to the legendary Countach. But they did do with the Diablo, gorgeous looks and monster performance.
Thanks for a great vid, the personal reflections are great. I had a similar experience after playing the original Need for Speed and buying my own... RX-7 ;-) Just a note, variable valve *timing* doesn't change the cam *profiles*, it's the same camshaft shape but it just moves the valve opening point earlier and later depending on the revs. The benefit is this lets you have higher inlet/exhaust overlap at high revs for breathing and thus power, while having no overlap at low revs for driveability and emissions. The timing changes, not the shape of the cam. This is distinct from variable valve *lift* such as VTEC and Toyota's VVTL, which actually does use multiple cam profiles to achieve higher lift (wider open valves) at high revs, on top of the timing shift.
As a general rule I'm not a Lamborghini fan. More of a Ferrari and Porsche person. But the Diablo is the ONLY Lamborghini that I really lusted after as a teenager and to this day when I see one my heart jumps out of my chest. Stunningly beautiful cars. The engine is great too! This was peak Lamborghini.
I sat in the first Diablo to be imported into Australia. Due to a missing document from Italy , the Hornsby branch of the MTA wouldn't issue a rego certificate which meant the new owner couldn't collect his car that afternoon afternoon
Thank you for this awesome review!!! brought back memories from the 90's... I have always loved Lamborghini, specially the Diablo SV, even tho Countach is the holy grail!
Back when Lambo's were actually Lambo's.. 😉 Total nightmare to maintain nowadays. Gotta have deep pockets. But hey, if you're looking at one, you've got the cash to keep it going. 🙂 Good day with the Lambo!
Not that I'll ever even get to sit in one, particularly being in Australia, as I've only seen two in my lifetime in the Melbourne wild, but it's interesting that it remains a polarizing 90's supercar talisman. In this video we clearly get a positive verdict but you don't have to dive deep on the UA-cams to get less favourable opinions.
my favorite nfs where 3 hot pursuit and road challenge also called hi stakes loved the sv,ferrari 550 the most in 2005 my parents sold a big house and whe wanted to buy the 550 maranello in black at end whe bouth a 360 spider blue and tan inside these came in a other nfs later i downloaded the music from nfs 3 on a cd and put it in the cd rotation of the 360 spider ,the diablo sv and countach i had the oportunity to sit inside bouth also later the murcielago lp640
White and no spoiler🤨. You guys should have borrowed someone's still MIGHTY 627hp, 240mph, and STILL the fastest naturally aspirated engined car in the world the McLaren F1🤘🤘
What's your favourite Lamborghini of all time?
The off road LM....just so mad 👍
Miura SV
Diablo SE30 )
Bravo.

That line always hit hard for nfs 3. I'm so glad new NFS games still let us drive it, cuz its the only time most of us will probably ever own one

Love the call back to NFSIII, was and still is my dream car (one day!) Brilliant video, your enthusiasm for the machine really shows. Cheers!

James continues to improve as a presenter, he will be the new Tiff, mark my words….
I hope not.
Yea I like him as a presenter

I dont think the Diablo was the best of the 90's lol.
@@augustortiz Thanks for sharing bro. But nobody cares

The main menu intro from NFS3 was legendary. The whole game is a gem.
For how young you are, your reviews are interesting and exciting!
Much appreciated 👍
Awesome video! I also fell in love with this car from NFS3. Still have a copy of the game that I play from time to time!

NFS 3: Hot Pursuit nostalgia

Ferrari F50 is the true Need for Speed Legend. That was the car that made NFS famous, it was even on the NFS II cover art.
Thank you for this awesome review!!! brought back memories from the 90's... I have always loved Lamborghini, specially the Diablo SV, even tho Countach is the holy grail!
Glad you enjoyed!
I love that car and, as well, it was my favorite one in NFSIII. Amazing video!
When I played Need for Speed 3 Hot Pursuit I always picked the 455hp, 183mph Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversiaro 🤘🤘
Back when Lambo's were actually Lambo's.. 😉
Total nightmare to maintain nowadays. Gotta have deep pockets. But hey, if you're looking at one, you've got the cash to keep it going. 🙂
Good day with the Lambo!
Such a fantastic car. It looks so much better without the SV decals.

Thank you for this video and I am so glad you had the oportunity to drive it.
Glad you enjoyed!
Looks mint with the spoiler delete
