The transition from poster to video was lovely.

As a kid who grew up with a Diablo poster on their wall, that scene made my eyes moisten. The Diablo will always be the first car I picture when someone says "Lambo".

NFS 3 Hot Pursuit once said. "Drive a Lamborghini Diablo and expect to be the center of attention where ever you go, it's that kind of car". This still holds true till this day, such a timeless design.

[@aashishbadami95]

I think this is Henry himself, very similar to his magazine writing. The highest level of current entertainment framed car reviews, and carries the lineage of Car Magazine at its best - better than the magazine itself.

That bedroom poster into the actual video transition needs an award! Holy crap that was awesome, got goosebumps all over

[@Dowlphin]

Well, it's creatively imaginative, I acknowledge that. But it's no great technical feat. As far as I can tell as a layman, the poster shot is a mask over the video footage. The poster frame is basically like a window with a slight surface reflection effect that arguably fades away a bit too early/quickly to maintain the magic.

This video almost made me cry, this car was like a fertilizer for my young love for cars. I can still remember watching an old VHS Top Gear tape of Vicki Butler Henderson testing an orange Diablo when I was 8 and also playing Need for Speed 3 Hot pursuit where this car was the feature car in this exact spec. I sincerely love this car because its part of my journey as a petrolhead. Seeing you guys present this car in this captivating and utterly brilliant way is just pure ecstasy for me. Great job.

Love the Diablo, this was the poster on my bedroom wall growing up. That poster and the famous Jamiroquai videoclip were he drives his purple SE30 was what made me fall in love with it. Looks absolutely incredible still to this day, in my opinion way better looking than the Murcielago or the Aventador. 150k is quite good value for a piece of automotive history such as this.

[@MarkoTiano]

You're talking about Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai. I remember seeing that purple Diablo in that video and was absolutely stunned as a kid.

There are quite a few good “documentary” channels for cars out there at the moment but still think with Henry at the helm and the production and ideas that get presented, Carfection gets my vote every time. This was fabulous!

[@Anaxarxes]

I still remember picking up the AutoShow magazine that week when the car was launched to find the review of the SV. The journalist did not drive the car initially, but it was the factory driver who wanted to show the car to the magazine and drove through Sant’Agatha where the journalist followed in the rental car. In the review he mentioned that when Valentino Balboni open the throttle he immediately put the gas on the Mondeo and astonished the fact that Diablo escaped as if he was standing stil. I remember dreaming of driving the car. I was 15-16 at the time. Thank you Henry for this beautiful memory!

There is something about the design of the car, it looks like a scaled up toy race car that came out of plastic mold, you see this particularly at 7:33. I think this is why I loved it so much as a kid growing up. I recently found in my parent's house an old postcard of a Diablo SV it was one of those exclusive offers you could send off with a cheque and get a A2 sized poster. It was only £1.50 not sure why I never ordered the poster and kept the postcard instead, I suspect I didn't read any of the text on the back and just stared at the car 🙂 Also is that Flat Eric!?!
