One of only two Lamborghini Diablo SV Roadsters is heading under the hammer at auction this week.

Billed as ‘one of the rarest Lamborghinis in existence’ by auction house RM Sotheby’s, the Diablo SV Roadster features a range of high-end features such as a front lift system that can help it navigate speed bumps and a huge rear wing for added downforce.

Built in 1998, it was one of the first models to be made following Audi’s acquisition of Lamborghini. Capable of a 208mph top speed it remains fast even by modern supercar standards and can go from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds.

It’s being offered through RM Sotheby’s Sealed online platform from December 13 to 15. The service sells cars to an ‘exclusive global audience’, with previous highlights including Juan Manual Fangio’s Mercedes 300 SL Roadster, an ultra-rare white Ferrari Enzo and a McLaren F1.
