This 1999 Lamborghini Diablo Superveloce Has 1 Mile on the Clock

This example of the Diablo breed isn’t your typical Superveloce (Italian for super speed), but a time capsule. Offered for sale by Canadian dealership Lamborghini Montreal, this Lamborghini Diablo SV has one mile on the clock. Considering that the car was manufactured in 1999, the mileage can be summed up as follows: 310 feet per year.

That’s not the case, though. As noted in the listing, the car has never been driven and it is in perfect condition. The adjacent photos are testament to the latter.

The price one has to pay for the opportunity of owning such a magnificent machine? That’ll be $499,900, thank you! For the sake of comparing stuff, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster is $443,800. The LP 750-4 SV, on the other hand, commands a mind-boggling amount of greenback: $530,075.

All said, the price of this Diablo Superveloce isn’t just a simple act of speculation. It’s totally worth it, down to the last cent, chiefly because the SV is the last proper Lamborghini. More to the point, the Diablo SV is the last V12-powered Lamborghini with rear-wheel-drive, if you don't count the extremely rare Murcielago R-GT.

The Sant’Agata-based automaker is still trying to capture its former glories with the V10-powered Gallardo LP 550-2 Huracan LP 580-2, yet this antiquated Diablo SV pulls it off much better. The Aventador LP 750-SV may trump the Diablo SV with a 223 horsepower advantage, but let’s be frank about the fact that nothing beats the old school charisma of the devilish bull from days gone by. Instead of an ending, here are three words that define this car for those who have been growing up in the 1990s: bedroom poster material.
