There is nothing quite like the feeling of driving a 90s bedroom poster car through the gorgeous landscapes of Horizon's Japan map. The 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV is a certified classic, packing raw V12 power and that unmistakable aggressive styling. However, if you are looking to add this legendary supercar to your garage, you will not find it waiting for you in the Autoshow when you start your journey. It is a rare, exclusive Barn Find, meaning you have to earn the rumor, hunt down the location, and put in some work before you can hit the asphalt.
If you are wondering how to trigger the rumor, where exactly the barn is hidden, and how to get behind the wheel as fast as possible, here is a breakdown of everything you need to know from a fellow player's perspective.
If you try to skip ahead and drive straight to the spawn point right after the opening showcase, you will find nothing but empty trees. The game forces you to build up some street cred before the local Barn Find rumors start floating around. To get the ball rolling, you need to progress through the core campaign by completing races, generating hype, and climbing the Horizon ladder.
Your main objective is to advance far enough into the story to unlock the Navigator tier, which awards you the Orange Wristband. Once you officially unlock this campaign milestone, you will receive the Orange Stamp. This landmark event triggers the radio rumor, and a massive purple search circle will populate on your map, indicating that the Diablo SV is finally up for grabs.
Once the rumor is active, it is time to head out to the Ito region to start your search. The search area can be a bit tricky to navigate if you do not know what landmarks to look for, but you can find the exact location by following these steps:
Find the Anchor Point: Open up your world map and locate May's house in the Ito region. Look directly west of the house, positioning yourself just to the right of the local airfield.
Follow the Trail: Head towards the coastline and look for a distinct, carved-out wooden path that is heavily lined with old tree stumps.
Spot the Barn: Keep your eyes peeled on the southern side of this path. There is a natural dip or depression in the hillside. Tucked right behind a thick cluster of trees inside that dip, you will see the edge of the weathered barn poking out.
Quick Tip: When you get close to the hill depression, slow down and switch to the drone camera if you are having trouble seeing past the dense foliage. It makes navigating the tree line much easier without constantly bumping your car into stumps!
When you pull up to the structure, a cutscene will trigger showing your character sliding open the rusted doors to uncover the half-converted, 90s poster race car coated in decades of dust. After the cutscene wraps up, the vehicle is towed away to your main garage so the mechanics can begin restoring it to its former glory.
Because the car is a legendary classic, the restoration process takes a bit of time. You have two ways to handle this:
The Free Method: Simply keep playing the game. It takes anywhere from two to six hours of real-time gameplay for the restoration to finish. Go run some dirt tracks, complete PR stunts, or progress the story, and you will eventually get an in-game notification letting you know the Diablo SV is clean, shiny, and ready to drive for free.
The Fast Method: If you are impatient and have plenty of cash burning a hole in your virtual pocket, you can pay a fee in in-game Credits (CR) to bypass the restoration timer completely. This will instantly finish the car, letting you jump straight into the driver's seat.
Once it is ready, you will have a pristine, V12-powered icon sitting in your garage, fully prepared for whatever custom tuning or highway cruising you want to throw its way. Happy hunting out there in Ito!
