About the Diablo SV

The 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,590 kg with 512 bhp, which works out at 322 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 322 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.10 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,342nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 63rd quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. Its 116.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) reaches 60 mph in 4.24 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,342nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) quarter mile time?
12.46 s at 116.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) have?
512 bhp and 1,590 kg, which is 322 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 333 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997)?
Closest here on pace: Cizeta Moroder V16 T (4.07 s), Lamborghini Diablo (4.24 s), Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (4.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lamborghini Diablo SV (1997) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
