About the Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530

The 1996 Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,530 kg with 523 bhp, which works out at 342 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 342 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 557th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 43rd quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. Its 125.9 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 reaches 60 mph in 3.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 557th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 quarter mile time?
11.70 s at 125.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.70 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 have?
523 bhp and 1,530 kg, which is 342 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 320 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530?
Closest here on pace: TVR Tuscan S Mk II (3.44 s), Jaguar F-Type R Coupe (3.44 s), Lotus Exige Cup 380 Mk III (3.38 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Diablo SV 5.7 V12 530 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 5.7 V12 530 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
