It wasn't a factory authorized
car but a special ordered modified Diablo SV for Victoria's Secret,
in cooperation with Lamborghini USA. The original car was a Pearl-metallic
White Diablo SV ordered by Victoria's Secret as a publicity stunt for
the 1998 Christmas Catalogue.
The VS logo on the side of
the car represent the Victoria's Secret company initials, they are in
fact the standard 'SV' logo mounted in reverse, since the stickers are
delivered with the car unmounted on the doors it wasn't too difficult
to inverse the logo.
A more difficult task were
the headrests, they too include the reversed SV logo, but this was done
by Automobili Lamborghini SpA in Italy, they can be persuaded into doing
custom work for most customers if you can afford the rather high costs.
From the 1998 Christmas Catalogue
you could however order this or a similar car directly from Victoria's
Secret. All Diablo VS were to be finished in Pearl-metallic White over
a creme leather interior and naturally the big VS-logo mounted on both
sides of the car.
On the inside an Alpine navigation
system was installed coupled to a 6-disc CD changer, a custom luggage
set made to match the interior and some special driving gloves, again
in the same leather as the magnificent seats. Even a matching cellular
phone case was delivered with the car
The rear wing of the Diablo SV was also mounted, painted in the same
pearl-metallic white as the rest of this truly exotic car, also chrome
finished three-piece five spoke wheels are mounted, 18 inch to the front
and rear.
If you would have bought
this car, you would also receive a free trip to Las Vegas and a weekend
to drive your Diablo under the eye of a professional test driver.
The car pictured here with
the six models had chassis nr. WLA12945 and was sold to an American
customer, it still resides in the United States and according to several
sources, a second Diablo VS wasn't ordered so it remains a one-off truly
special Diablo. |
