On the exterior, the VT 6.0 differed from its predecessors with a revised front fascia that featured two large air intakes similar to those later used on the Murciélago. The air dam, nose panel, and wings were all reworked and smoothed, the indicators were enlarged and shifted in position, and the small air inlets in the tops of the wings were omitted.
The rear of the car remained familiar, but the taillight surrounds were now body-colored (rather than transparent red or black) and the lamps themselves used the configuration seen on the track oriented GT variant. Aluminum 18 inch OZ wheels which were styled with a 5-hole “phone dial” design similar to that seen on the later models of the Countach were used.
