The Sport Veloce (SV) version of the Diablo was a 2WD version that also befitted from the 30 Edition Jota upgrades and a light drivetrain. The SV also removed the standard model’s electronic suspension for even more weight savings. With such a potent specification, this model was used to transform the Diablo into the SVR race model.

In 1999 the SV received the same upgrades that the rest of Diablo got including the fixed front headlights.
