Eccentrica V12 Roadster Lamborghini Diablo Restomod
Eccentrica took the roof off its own restomod formula. The V12 Roadster opens up the cabin of the Diablo coupe, putting the driver closer to the sound and heat of driving a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V12 pulled straight from the original 1990s car. Eccentrica reworked the engine to create 550 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, sent through a six-speed gated manual gearbox at a moment when neither a naturally aspirated V12 nor a manual exists anywhere in Lamborghini's current lineup. Losing the roof cost the chassis its rigidity, so Eccentrica reinforced the steel frame with carbon fiber and rebuilt the bodywork entirely in carbon fiber, under Maurizio Reggiani, the former Lamborghini CTO who once ran development on the Murciélago, Gallardo, and Aventador. The Roadster still hits 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and tops out at 208 mph. Only 19 will be made, each one a Diablo disassembled and rebuilt with more than 3,500 bespoke parts.
