Identifying a Diablo SV

[johnve]

I am trying to identify a picture that I have of a Diablo SV. It is a deep red color with a large, silver 'SV' scripted on the side. It seems to be a 1999, but it has triple rear brake vents just behind the doors. The vents look like shark gills and look like the vents I've seen on the '99 VT. Can anyone help me?

I'm confused, what are you trying to identify with it?? You said its definately an SV and you think its a 99? What more is there? Pics would probably be helpful in any case!

okay, still what are you trying to identify with it??

What I'd like to know is what year is it? Is it a production car or is it a show car. Though a suppose "production" is meaningless for a Diablo. Thanks.

'Tis no '99, as they did not have pop up headlights. It's a 1995-1998.

yes, I saw a 98 that was black but looked identical! My guess would be a 98, but its probably hard to tell.

The 1998 Diablo SV is my favorite car, this is definetly a Monterey Diablo SV, no doubt . B/c remeber how they had those awesome pop-ups, SE30 style intake slits in front of the rear wheels, were painted in unique colors, but still had all the SV parts.

The SV (including the Monterey version) was built from 1995 to 99. Pop-up lights were replaced with fixed type with the redesigned 2000 Diablo 6.0 under Audi management.

That is a 98 Monterey SV. Also, in 99 the SV had fixed lights.

You're correct, my mistake. Also I see that some euro-spec '98 SVs have fixed lights but these could have been redone later.
