Lamborghini Diablo Keys
If you're after the ultimate driver's car with macho appeal, then look no further than a Lamborghini Diablo. However, these exotic vehicles require a lot care and attention to ensure that they keep running sweetly.

It was the first Lamborghini producing cars to hit 200 mph and took the brand into the age of computerized engine management. It was also the first Lamborghini to be built using a modular chassis. Its angular design wowed the world and influenced many other automobiles of the same style.
The Diablo was powered by a V-12 engine that was identical to that of the Countach. It had a larger displacement, 5.7 liters, and produced more horsepower. The transmission was a manual five-speed. The front-wheel drive system was fitted with the viscous traction control system which worked extremely well.

The Diablo also received a brand new bumper and side markers that were rectangular. Diablo was also available in several special versions. The SV-R and the GTR were both race versions of this model. Only 30 SV-R models were manufactured and 20 GTRs built. The GTR was equipped with an upgraded 6.0 Liter version of the V12 and was designed to compete with the one-make Supertrophy Series, which is similar to today's Super Trofeo.

In 1994, Chrysler sold Lamborghini in Indonesia to a group. To help revive the Diablo brand Chrysler introduced a new version of the Diablo that returned to the basics, dubbed the SV. The SV was equipped with a new powertrain and styling changes inspired by the SE30 was 10% less expensive than the rear-drive Diablo.
The SV was the last time that the Diablo was given a major facelift. The year 1999 was the last time that the Diablo saw significant facelifts.

Other changes included the removal the traction system, a new engine oil cooler, and larger brakes on the rear and front.
The SV's interior featured large, analogue gauges that displayed the speed of the car and the road with a white face. The SV also came with more comfortable seats in the front, and a cutting-edge Alpine audio system. The SV was also the first Lamborghini to include an indicator for tire pressure. The system would send an alert to the instrument cluster when air pressure dropped below 28 PSI mark.
