About the Diablo SV

The 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,530 kg with 523 bhp, which works out at 342 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.86 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 575th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 45th quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. Its 123.0 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 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) reaches 60 mph in 3.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 575th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) quarter mile time?
11.62 s at 123.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.54 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) have?
523 bhp and 1,530 kg, which is 342 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 329 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998)?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XJ220 (3.45 s), Lamborghini Murcielago (3.41 s), TVR Tuscan S Mk II (3.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Diablo SV (1998) 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 (1998) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
