    99 was a very GOOD year, smoother shift, HP gain AND if you were lucky and got a LATE LATE 99 they had the 6.0 HEAD on it..so even better.....

    I have a late 99 VT, with 6.0 head, Fly Yellow, only7k miles, would not part with it at all.......love the car.......just as much as my 6.0

    If your looking I KNOW of a great 99 "SV" for sale......7700 miles!! Rossa Vic....

    call me

    zan very nice car! i have a top gear episode downloaded on my computer where they tested a diablo gt, diablo vt, mangusta, and a 3200 gt maserati. The diablo vt was a non roadster. it had to be a 99 becuase the headlights were exposed. it pretty much looked like a 91-96 diablo but with the front end of a 99 roadster. first time i ever saw the car.


    i took pictures of the car while playing the episode

    GOOD GOOD GOOD JOB ZAN!!!!!!!!!


    Very few people now of the motor number and a late 6,0 head.......

    Crap just blew my shot at getting them with the owners not knowing....

    NO I am not like that I share everything I HAVE.....

    BUT a 99 with 6.0 HEAD is NOTICEABLY FASTER and DIFFERENT exhaust tone.........

    Both my Yellow and My titanium Roadtser are LATE 6.0 heads.....

    If I am not MISTAKEN, that is a 94 VT, had the headlights changed out to 6.0 HEADLIGHTS...

    Which by the way are straight out of NISSAN 300ZX, did you KNOW that?

    LOOK at my 96 SV-R on my WEB www.catsexotics.com

    I changed NOT only the headlights, but the fender and nose to a 2001 6.o front end......

    what year did the vt have 535 bhp? becuase in the video the girl is standing next to the orange vt in the pics and said "last year i came over and drove this, the fabulous diablo vt, but it only had 535 bhp, but this year, they've given me more, the diablo gt" and then the yellow gt comes rolling out of the garage. then later in the video she looks out of the rear camera and see's top gears tiff in the orange car and then he says " if you still want all the luxuries in your lambo you can buy thisfor about 160,000 pounds. it's loaded with alacantra trim.........."

    oh and i have heard about the nissan lights but i thought they only put those on replicas

    Not sure what you're trying to point out. :confused: By "6.0 Head" on the 99s they mean the cylinder head of the engine, not the front end ("head") of the car. It's where the valves are. Unless I'm mistaken?

    you're probably right bmw you know more about these than i do. by head i thought he meant the head of the car. my fualt. but anyways im still curious as to why ive never seen a diablo vt with that front end.

    It's hard to see, you need a mirror and flashlight to see the number

    Thanks Mark. I saw that drawing when you posted it on the other site, but I couldn't find that spot on my car even with the mirror and light - maybe it's under a cover of some sort.

    I assume that's the passenger side and the front of the motor since the headers seem to be routing back.

    Maybe my car's actually a kit and I didn't know... ;-)

    the diablos in the first two links are the same car as the orange topgear car. the second one seems to be an alpine edition, like cgperry's.

    cg very nice car! lovely color!

    anyway, it seems like no one wants to sell their 99 vt's, Ive seen all kinds of diablos for sale but never a 99 vt

    Here's a yellow VT Alpine Edition (#3 of 12): http://www.drautos.com/Search/DRauSearchDetails.aspx?itemid=249983

    There weren't many made considering they had the VT Roadsters and SVs in production taking room for the already very small production line.

    1999 SV: http://www.drautos.com/Search/DRauSearchDetails.aspx?itemid=296031

    Good eye on the first 2 pics, I missed it completely. I've never seen it before either, very odd imo. Looks better with the 99 complete body.

    thats weird i thought sv's had different rims than the ones that red sv has?

    I just found the 99 vt's lambocars.com page. Even though I've never seen it, Its been around. Its funny, The diablo first showed up in 1990 and after 9 years all they did to it visually was expose the headlights. Anyways heres the page. Roy, I guess that orange car didnt have a nissan headlight conversion after all.
