I believe the LP-640 is 300lbs heavier than the ZR1. That should make this model only 80lbs heavier than the ZR1.

The AWD obviously has so many advantages over RWD. this is a supercar not a corvette

It's as easy as disconnecting the front drive unit + shaft

AWD sucks!

I wouldn't say that. The Diablo 6.0 is an "evolution" of the original Diablo. The Murcielago is a completely different car. So this is an "evolution" of the LP640, which was an "evolution" of the original Murcielago.

The only thing reminiscent about the wing on this car and the GTR is the fact that its black and at the back of the car. Beyond that, its different.

I am not arguing just to argue, I think your wrong. So I am stating my opinion.

I also wish this car was RWD. The Diablo SV lost the AWD for weight savings and for racing.

Ha, are you kidding me?

All the best supercars are RWD, for a reason, driver control and feedback, weight distribution, less weight, better steering feel, more fun to drive and control I could go on and on. A good driver wants RWD....

And that's why the Diablo SV will always be the better drivers car.

Careful Unit... you know that once you put a domestic badge on a car it means I don't like it.

"Nero Nemesis (black matte)" Probably the best name for a color in the history of the automobile.
