I get behind the wheel of a 1996 Lamborghini Diablo SV-R race car for an epic 500 miles journey to Frankfurt, Germany.

This was very similar to my dad’s one, his was a 98 SVR that had never been raced so converted to a hybrid spec between SVR and SV to get it sold as the race series was scrapped. Shame I was too young to drive it before he sold it. And out of all the cars I’ve been in this one got my heart beating the fastest. Good video, unlucky with the rain

[@007knick]

You should email Sam. If your dad is open to it, it sounds like it would be an awesome video to see his collection.

[@lukejenkins9341]

​@007knick he says his dad sold it tho 😂

[@promtbeat]

Yes, Sam! Best video you have made for a while! Epic trip in an epic car. Some incredible cinematography shots (especially in the rain) of the car to great music. This feels like an old-school STG. 👏👏👏

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks a ton!

[@F1YMS]

Fantastic upload, this one of the reasons why I think this is one of the best automotive channels; the cars you share with viewers are always special; great work Sam.

[@seenthroughglass]

Really appreciate that

[@breakupgoogle]

NGL the thumbnail the car looks like a body kit. What a rare car. Its crazy they let you drive it so far. This is wonderful! john from curated would be happy.

[@cigarjefe]

I own a cobalt grey Diablo SV. Fully sorted and lovely to drive.

[@seenthroughglass]

They are wonderful cars

[@JP516]

Great camera angles Sam! Not knowing how much grip you have in the wet makes it quite intense!!!

[@duncanbleak3819]

Great car. Magnificent camera positioning. One of your best videos ever. Love the road trips.👍👍👍!

[@Auto.Anorak]

This is so incredibly cool, couldn’t quite believe the title when it came up in my notifications! Definitely more of this Sam 👏

[@seenthroughglass]

Thank you! Will do!

[@MRVSKIN]

Mr Paul Wallace must be sooooooo jealous right now. Always loved the Diablo. This and the Mercie are the sweet spot

[@EconomicsMate1]

Wow! An SVR! Insane experine Sam! One of my dream cars

[@DjDeity215]

That diffuser 🫠

[@lukejenkins9341]

I would of kept that off and kept it like the gtr

[@THEGOVERNOR117]

I literally thought the car was a fake because of that it looks fan made

[@paultucker1272]

That brought back many happy memories of my friend's Blu Scuro Diablo SV which he bought new. What a machine 🙂

[@seenthroughglass]

Very cool!

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Fabulous experience. Thanks for taking us along. The Diablo is one of the best looking Lambos IMHO. When I saw one in the wild, I was amazed at how small it was. Not a comfortable car, but one that looks and sounds great. Would not be my choice as my only exotic, but a great experience to sample for a day.

[@mariodiniz21]

Great video Sam, the background music is spot on as usual, I keep using Shazam nonstop.

[@Mick69byrne]

Love the POV driving, great video Sam. Keep them coming

[@lesflynn4455]

Oh yes. An alalogue manual Lambo. I hate to think of the modern day price but I'm glad Sam got to drive it. Thanks for posting. Nice vid.

[@mouse5178]

The Diablo is my favorite car in the world. I use to own a VT from 08 to 2012 and really enjoyed it. Very easy and nice to drive

[@mouse5178]

And they steam up very badly in the rain

[@ThatChrisGuy]

...terrible seating position, poor instrument visibility, awful side and rear visibility, prone to setting on fire, guzzling gas like it's going out of fashion etc. etc.. 😂 other than that they're great!

[@Atomtravels]

Awesome video. I actually have had the pleasure of driving an SVR (serial number 02, the car of P. Charriol) in race trim on track. It truly is an amazing car❤

[@mightyoss]

Just sat down with a cup of tea, perfect.

[@klaushuxley3342]

This is awesome. There has never been a cooler can than the Diablo, and there never will be. Didn't Tiff Needell race one of these? I swear I have that memory for some reason. Thanks for sharing, Sam. Cheers from Michigan.

[@all-caps3927]

I love that it has a similar livery to the launch colour of the 997 911 GT3 RS, such a throwback.

[@dialedindetail5899]

Wow! What great surprise vid thanks Sam

[@RapiD0007]

Sam is the reason that you don’t like driving through Belgium is because they seem to drive right up your bottom and just pull out on you as well . great video what a cool car.

[@liipka7025]

Love the longer video. Hope that the videos from BTG tours would be like 1hr.

[@richardbrimble4268]

I've just watched you driving that Lamborghini svr my heart was in my mouth when you were driving wow you are some driver

[@eliotmead6943]

Great content as always Sam! 👏🏻

[@richboy900]

Diablo sv gives me nfs 3 vibes. Every time

[@jamespugh]

Great video and great words to live by at the end . Why we keep coming back every Sunday

[@nonamenameless5495]

Wish you had interviewed these two cool guys for longer, you really should invite them to the BTG podcast!

[@pigbenis274]

I was nervous just watching you drive this in the rain, lol. Glad you made it

[@jeffkierstein700]

Such great stuff, thank you!

[@futurefuelsgroup8073]

Would be great to see you put on a pre 2000’s STG tour next year. A possible run out to Le Mans classic

[@ak_m1776]

This YT channel is a gem ❤💎

[@ivanacebera5097]

Epic, nicely done Sam👍

[@MoneyFIC]

Great video. Really enjoyed it.

[@vinceliu4138]

Great work mate, keep it up 💪

[@jellysnot5]

🎉❤ Sunday Video!!! Good start to the day

[@sarahdell4042]

What a cool experience!

[@Vince1986]

Woooowww, great video, Sam😍😍

[@somebloke2238]

Ever since that Harry's garage video, the diablo I want is an early rear wheel drive one

[@hmorreau3707]

Glad to know that the Diablo SVR’s V12 is marginally better in highway MPG than the 5.9 V8 in my 1997 Dodge Ram 😂

[@all-caps3927]

The diablo GT, in particular, has to be one of the all time best looking cars.

[@robmowe8090]

Driving that onto the train looked intimidating! 🤣

[@Kxji]

I never thought I’ll see Sam doing a roadtrip in a Lambo let alone a race version of one 😂

[@007knick]

This is gonna be amazing. Gotta get myself a coffee and a snack

[@buddha.q]

a certain James May saying the word "Gopping" comes to mind 😅

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

YES!!! Driving through Belgium is HELL. The roads, the drivers... I don't know how but Belgium is one of the worst places to drive a car.

[@miscent107]

Funny that it has the same fuelcap as my 2015 Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle. 😅 Anyway.. awesome car and insane experience once again!

[@jaferkhan4108]

Loved this video. Loved it loved it loved it ❤❤❤❤

[@kennythobejane8052]

The SVJ before the SVJ🔥

[@SWR112]

I’ve never been on a race track in the wet to see just how far tyres 🛞 can be pushed on a very wet surface. Your doing well, ok I drive a bit like a nun but I’d be half your speed on that twisty road 😮 but still loving life as you say.

[@andrejensen9002]

My friend had a original SE30 Jota in purple 👍

[@mor8937]

The yellow Diablo SV at 1minute 17sec belongs to youtuber jango's garage broken dreams. Thats an awesome car.

[@zxyt9866]

16.4 mpg??? That’s as good as my 2015 SQ5 gets and you’re complaining?!?

[@ijazb]

Great video!

[@enricocurcio1610]

This is Diablo heaven

[@keithevans5667]

STG coffee time...awesome 😊

[@stephenmorgan5100]

Another dream drive shared. Sam would you prefer a new 911 Turbo S (or wait for latest) or a 930 Turbo fully restored? . Rolling around in my head is everyone saying don't buy your dream car, however you did with the 360! I feel safe in the new car but feel the 930 I treated with kid gloves, did you feel the same when you had your first 360?

[@CITRUS--]

Woah this is sick

[@thiagomarques3036]

a Brit driving an Italian car registered in Germany through France. Europe is wild

[@riggs1590]

You need a Lambo. You have the scud and the GT3, both amazing cars. But a Lambo would be the icing on the cake.

[@lipokjamir2544]

15 mins into the video and no mention of coffee. A 90's Lamborghini racing car was caffeine enough I suppose

[@garyleibitzke4166]

500 miles? That's just a short Sunday afternoon drive out here in Idaho. 😁

[@venom5809]

OMG Diablo heaven 😮

[@hejzlart]

Driving that monster in those conditions I would certainly shit myself.

[@mrgrumpy771]

wow you must have a bad back after that!!!

[@mrrs1113]

Diablo is still the lambo for me 🫡

[@twes5563]

It's a win win they get free delivery. & He gets the views 😵‍💫

[@zerooneonetwothree1872]

Is the next video going to be you driving that Jota?

[@cj41079]

I see where they got the Centenario diffuser from lol

[@MVD792]

WOW!

[@VerangaF430]

Nice heel and toe @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="840">14:00</a> there Sam....

[@Paul-D]

fair play I would've bottled it taking a 90s lambo 500 miles in the pissing rain.

[@Q-nt-Tf]

Looks like a kit-car made in the local pub weirdos shed.

[@mrtune551]

If i would see that on the road i would be thinking its a Kitcar or some kind of hideous liberty walk creation.

[@TheWatchlocker1]

I’d rather take the tub mate!

[@micahsmith4149]

Shouldn’t there be a lambo logo on the steering wheel?

[@BMW7series251]

Wow James, what a beast!! Very brave of you to do the trip in the rain! I assume the car is 4WD? Cheers, John.

[@somebloke2238]

Who's James?

[@jahyoda]

THIS IS %@&%!# AWESOME !!!! *two guys at end need to learn how to not interrupt others speaking....that was annoying

[@mrminiature11]

drive the new lc500

[@boomdaus]

what's the watch?

[@killerfitz84]

my mums Getz is better in the wet than that. I like it but I think id crash it in the rain eventually.

[@TundeEszlari]

I love your videos.❤

[@MatroX67]

Nice attempt to pronounce Reims 😂

[@Resist_Oppression]

Dope video. Never thought id say this, but that's 1 ugly SVR.

[@drumstick74]

As much as I love Lamborghini, that text on the side, SVR, is a fail imo...looks like it was done by someone with no knowledge of graphic design.

[@BRAINFxck10]

All that orange ruins this car! Especially the front, ugliest Diablo I've ever seen...

[@JuliaStorrs]

Your videos are always so helpful and inspiring! Thank you for your diligence and passion for creating great content!🦐🏡🦖

Shut up bot 🤬

[@sh6GWNWN]

Mein Liebesleben ist wie eine Sitcom: voller Lacher, gelegentlicher Missgeschicke und einer Menge Snackpausen🍭

Shut up bot 🤬
