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
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. 👏👏👏
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.
@@seenthroughglassTotally agree w/ original comment... ... *PROSIT 🍻 & "BuonaVita"* from Lecce (Apulia, South Italy - from the same small small villages where the S.O.C. took place a month ago)!!!
Thanks for that bit in the middle where you didn't talk. Funny so many videos I hear them say how lovely the engine sounds but then talk right through it or play endless loud music. You know what you're doing and it's awesome. Thanks for this one.
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.
You are a true gem and a content creator with special filming abilities i am missed your videos form some reasons i can't watch but i am back and i love your videos i am trying to watch where i left thanks you❤
Timeless design, just impeccable. This design still being used by Lambo today. Two vents on the front, three on the side and two in the back. Ohh those roof scoopes are uncontested
I love roadtrips. While the weather wasn’t great it looks like you still had a great time. I agree with you about driving cars versus letting them sit, but to each their own.
Love the raw driving segments! Really felt like you were pushing the limits of traction on the wet backroads. I didn't know I needed a Diablo SV-R, until now...
NFS Hot Pursuit 3 was when I was first introduced to the SV as a kid, and I must say I was smitten 😅😂 This vid with that sonoarus V12 hum was my happy-medicine for today, bringing out so much nostalgia seeing that familiar cockpit & similar silhouette, ty for your diligent quality content (and good audio too), great commentary, shots, and footage! ❤👌👏
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.
I haven't really appreciated the Diablo until I saw a SE30 from Spain in Monterey this year and now I'm obsessed with these cars lol; which is strange since I've ridden in a Diablo SV a while ago and didn't think anything of it until now. Always awesome vids, Sam!
...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!
@@ThatChrisGuy that may have just been the SVR that he drove but Diablos in general don’t suffer from any of those issues that you mentioned. Superb driving position, decent visibility, definitely not prone to setting on fire and actually not too bad on fuel believe it or not (my Impreza was worse). I drove mine daily
very enjoyable and somewhat stressful watching this car on beautiful back roads in the rain 😅 … lovely video and vehicle, thank you for sharing this with us 🎉
Fair play Sam, that car in those conditions and still having the minerals to tickle it a bit 👏. Although I must say some of those mid corner gear shifts lead me to believe you may have taken a few liberties once you felt comfortable with it and I must say I'm all for it 🤣👍🏻
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.
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❤
I really hope you get to do a trip in that SE30 Jota as well (or even "just" the normal, purple SE30...what a colour that is!). Great video, wished it would keep on going!
Thanks for cataloguing another epic adventure! Quick constructive criticism, your voiceover on top of the Diablo GTR shots was a bit hard to hear...a little muffled and you spoke too quickly. Still one of the best at your craft. I hope you never stop OR you join the Grand Tour
back in the mid 90s my old ford escort did the half tank to zero thing it needed a new pump tank which had the float sensor in it but never did anything about it lol
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.

You should email Sam. If your dad is open to it, it sounds like it would be an awesome video to see his collection.
@007knick he says his dad sold it tho 😂

@@seenthroughglass You're welcome.
I own a cobalt grey Diablo SV. Fully sorted and lovely to drive.
They are wonderful cars
I know these videos with older cars usually don't do very well, but I really enjoyed it! The POV was very nice!
That brought back many happy memories of my friend's Blu Scuro Diablo SV which he bought new. What a machine 🙂
Very cool!

This is so incredibly cool, couldn’t quite believe the title when it came up in my notifications! Definitely more of this Sam 👏
Thank you! Will do!
You are a true gem and a content creator with special filming abilities i am missed your videos form some reasons i can't watch but i am back and i love your videos i am trying to watch where i left thanks you❤
That diffuser 🫠
I would of kept that off and kept it like the gtr
Great camera angles Sam! Not knowing how much grip you have in the wet makes it quite intense!!!
Wow! An SVR! Insane experine Sam! One of my dream cars
Sam - loved this! These road trips in unusual cars are what I love to see you do.
Great car.
Magnificent camera positioning. One of your best videos ever.
Love the road trips.👍👍👍!
When the back end lets go it doesn’t give you a warning. Drive in the rain like that on the back roads had me on the edge of my seat.
Another great video. Not predictable, authentic, great cinematography, has a story, not contrived….. thanks Sam!
Absolutely Bloody Wonderful..Really enjoyed this one thanks Sam 👍
Great video Sam, the background music is spot on as usual, I keep using Shazam nonstop.
Mr Paul Wallace must be sooooooo jealous right now. Always loved the Diablo. This and the Mercie are the sweet spot
Timeless design, just impeccable. This design still being used by Lambo today. Two vents on the front, three on the side and two in the back. Ohh those roof scoopes are uncontested
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.
I always love the roadtrip content and B roll.
Nice video. 😎
Just sat down with a cup of tea, perfect.
Epic video and epic experience!!
What a great video this is, giving very top gear vibes. That company are legends for letting you do this
The guys seem like a couple of great lads👌🏼great content as always Sam

Love the POV driving, great video Sam. Keep them coming
The wiper is hilarious. You have balls driving that in the rain with any speed.
I love that it has a similar livery to the launch colour of the 997 911 GT3 RS, such a throwback.

This car looks horrendous! But an incredible road trip! Shot so well as always!
What a great episode❤ thank you so much! This is a seriously spectacular car 😊

I did a road trip with them 2 lovely guys this year back to Italy
Took 28 Diablos over 2500 miles so much fun
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
And they steam up very badly in the rain

Great car that rear wing and diffusor are freakin insane man !
You get a lot of attention riding around with this thing that's for sure .
very enjoyable and somewhat stressful watching this car on beautiful back roads in the rain 😅 … lovely video and vehicle, thank you for sharing this with us 🎉
The jota is something special. You could do a whole video on that. See we are curated on the jota. Awesome 👌
Epic, nicely done Sam👍
Best video yet!
Great video. Really enjoyed it.
Wow!
What great surprise vid thanks Sam
Woooowww, great video, Sam😍😍
Perfect drive, Sam. 🧡
What a dream! Congrats Sam
This YT channel is a gem ❤💎
Such great stuff, thank you!
Diablo sv gives me nfs 3 vibes. Every time
Great work mate, keep it up 💪
Glad to see you guys , saw your shop on Jp performance channel
Seen Through Glass at its best. The age of peak raw Lambo. Love these sorts of videos…but where’s the coffee?
Fair play Sam, that car in those conditions and still having the minerals to tickle it a bit 👏. Although I must say some of those mid corner gear shifts lead me to believe you may have taken a few liberties once you felt comfortable with it and I must say I'm all for it 🤣👍🏻
Loved this video. Loved it loved it loved it ❤❤❤❤
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.
Would be great to see you put on a pre 2000’s STG tour next year. A possible run out to Le Mans classic
You’re living our dreams Sam!
Love the longer video. Hope that the videos from BTG tours would be like 1hr.
🎉❤ Sunday Video!!! Good start to the day
I saw this exact car drive through high Wycombe last week at 9am ! Got it on video.
Wish you had interviewed these two cool guys for longer, you really should invite them to the BTG podcast!
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❤
I can't imagine the joy and orgasm you had 😅...
...from an italian *"Lamborghini🐂 Fan"* 🍻🤘🏻👋🏻!!!
I can't imagine the *JOY, the ORG@SM & EARG@SM* you had...
...from an Italian *"Lamborghini🐂 Fan"* 🍻🤘🏻👋🏻!!!
I really hope you get to do a trip in that SE30 Jota as well (or even "just" the normal, purple SE30...what a colour that is!). Great video, wished it would keep on going!
One criticism, those guys at the end spitting passion & you cut them off?? That was gold…then you dipped
15 mins into the video and no mention of coffee. A 90's Lamborghini racing car was caffeine enough I suppose
I've just watched you driving that Lamborghini svr my heart was in my mouth when you were driving wow you are some driver
I was nervous just watching you drive this in the rain, lol. Glad you made it
What a cool experience!
Superb video Sam. What a fantastic car 🙄
So brave to drive it hard in the rain
Ever since that Harry's garage video, the diablo I want is an early rear wheel drive one
You need a Lambo. You have the scud and the GT3, both amazing cars. But a Lambo would be the icing on the cake.
Great video and great words to live by at the end . Why we keep coming back every Sunday
I think you really enjoyed this road-trip❤❤
The diablo GT, in particular, has to be one of the all time best looking cars.
Thanks for cataloguing another epic adventure!
Quick constructive criticism, your voiceover on top of the Diablo GTR shots was a bit hard to hear...a little muffled and you spoke too quickly.
Still one of the best at your craft. I hope you never stop OR you join the Grand Tour
Great video!
Nice heel and toe @14:00 there Sam....
This is gonna be amazing. Gotta get myself a coffee and a snack
STG coffee time...awesome 😊
back in the mid 90s my old ford escort did the half tank to zero thing it needed a new pump tank which had the float sensor in it but never did anything about it lol
What a Hero!
I never thought I’ll see Sam doing a roadtrip in a Lambo let alone a race version of one 😂
Funny that it has the same fuelcap as my 2015 Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle. 😅
Anyway.. awesome car and insane experience once again!
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.
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 😂
“This could be an absolute death sentence” 😂 brilliant
Loved the dudes sitting on the hood lighting matches "can you see?" Lol
Was the bmw behind you at 4:35 with you ?
Driving that onto the train looked intimidating! 🤣
This is Diablo heaven
16.4 mpg??? That’s as good as my 2015 SQ5 gets and you’re complaining?!?
Woah this is sick
The SVJ before the SVJ🔥
