Eccentrica’s $1.3M Lamborghini Diablo Restomod: A Closer Look

Eccentrica V12: A Restored and Modified Lamborghini Diablo

Eccentrica V12 Lamborghini Diablo

Introduction

Few Lamborghinis get the heart racing quite like the 1990s Diablo, and at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week, a small firm unveiled an achingly beautiful Diablo that’s been restored and modified. The supercar build, aptly named the V12, has been brought to life by San Marino-based Eccentrica Cars. Like the finest restomods, no stone has been left unturned in transforming the classic Lamborghini and making it feel more modern.

Exterior Upgrades

The Lamborghini’s body has been extensively upgraded with new carbon fiber components.

Interior Modernization

Eccentrica modernized the interior, blending classic Diablo charm with contemporary updates.

Limited Production

Production of this meticulously restored Diablo will be limited to just 19 exclusive units.

Performance Enhancements

There’s plenty going on under the custom engine cover. Eccentrica has upgraded the 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 with new camshafts and an electric throttle body, allowing it to now produce 550 hp and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm), or 55 hp more than an original Diablo. This built V12 is paired with a custom six-speed manual transmission, and given enough room, the Lambo will hit 208 mph (335 km/h).

Modern Features

Some features that modern supercar owners probably take for granted have also been fitted. These include a modern power steering system and a front axle lift system. The Eccentrica V12 sits on custom 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. Braking is provided by up-to-date Brembo components that include matte-painted calipers.

Stunning Design

Few would deny that the Diablo looks superb, and yet, Eccentrica decided to modernize its design. Much to our surprise, it’s hit it out of the park. The car rocks a new carbon fiber front bumper with LED daytime running lights, bodywork changes have been made to the sides of the car, and there’s lots going on at the rear, too. Key upgrades include LED taillights, new carbon fiber roof scoops to feed the engine, and a Capristo exhaust.

Interior Transformation

The cabin seamlessly blends old and new. While the overall design nods to the original Diablo, Eccentrica has upgraded it with a digital rearview mirror supporting smartphone mirroring, new gauges, and a Marantz audio system.

Exclusive Production

Only 19 examples of the Eccentrica V12 will be produced and customers will be offered a wide scope of personalization options. Prices are expected to start at €1.2 million ($1.3 million), and that doesn’t include the cost of the donor car.

Conclusion

The Eccentrica V12 is a stunning restoration and modification of the Lamborghini Diablo. With its upgraded performance, modern features, and striking design, it offers a unique and exhilarating driving experience. Limited to just 19 units, it is a true collector’s item for Lamborghini enthusiasts.
