Can you please explain the differences between a diablo vt and a diablo sv?

SV two wheel drive, VT all wheel drive.

SV lighter, and more horsepower, I think 530 vs 495 close to that. The biggest visual difference is maybe the hood scoops on the SV. Both great cars.

....unless you are talking about roadsters in which case they are virtually identical (no hood scoops on either) or at least I cant see any differences ?

In 1999 the SV, VT and roadster all had 530hp due to the VVT. Maybe even 1998 since thats when the VVT was introduced. In some previous years there was a power diff and that was 492 vs 510.

Thanks, I was not sure when I saw SV' s advertised as all whl drv. So this means that a convertible can be a SV or VT? Also, what about exposed headlights and flip-up headlights? Is that something that was gendered by model or year? If so, what is what?

You will see adverts like that - and its always a mistake.

Yes...Although the number of SV roadsters is something around 6 - none in the USA and so far only seen in the UK and Oz. Contrast that with around 460 VT roadsters.

The flip up lights were a Lambo thing up to the year 1999. In 1999 they became fixed.

that solved most of my mysteries too

If I was to get a diablo I'd get a 6.0se - I think it's the nicest, when I was younger I loved the sv but I think it's a bit dated looking now depending on the model year but the 6.0se to me it's so smooth looking.
