The Diablo may have had the 'must-have' driving seat when the car was launched, but comfort was not very high on the agenda. Cramped conditions didn't allow for much driver comfort and there was little adjustment in the seat or steering wheel. This changed for the better with the arrival of the VT with its redesigned seats that are deeper, wider and better shaped to allow for more headroom and support.
Quality is also patchy with pre-Audi era Diablos, though not as bad as some will have you believe. Still, the steering wheel's airbag cover can fall off with annoying regularity.
The introduction of the 6.0-litre models coincided with a noticeable leap in quality and finally Lamborghini managed to produce a car with decent air conditioning with this model.
Carbon fibre replaced much of the previous models' leather covered interior surfaces, while the seats gained more adjustment and the driver's seat was repositioned further towards the centre of the car to reduce the offset driving position.
Lamborghini also restyled the instruments to make them clearer, with the panel finished in carbon fibre. With the 6.0-litre, driver and passenger airbags became standard.
The SE 30 edition stands out for its cabin thanks to white-faced dials instead of the normal black-finished items. It also came with four-point harnesses that could be fitted at the owner's request, while fixing points for a roll bar were also included for those with track day aspirations. The SE 30 also introduced a new style of steering wheel, while an Alpine CD stereo was part of the limited edition's specification.
