San Marino-based restomodder Eccentrica has unveiled a modern version of the Lamborghini Diablo, turning this supercar into an open V12 roadster while preserving its original mid-engine architecture, Autocar reports.
The restomod has a completely new carbon fiber body, and the steel space frame was reinforced with carbon elements. To improve handling, the trajectory was widened, while emphasizing the characteristic proportions of the Diablo. Engineers also reworked the aerodynamics so that air flows bypass the cabin and are less disturbing for the driver and passenger.
The original 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 has been modernized: the engine has 542 horsepower. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The roadster accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, a figure comparable to modern sports cars.
The Eccentrica V12 Roadster’s engineering was led by Maurizio Reggiani, the former chief technical officer of Lamborghini. In that role he was responsible for the Huracán and Aventador, having previously performed key roles in the development of the Gallardo and Murciélago.
The V12 Roadster will make its debut at The Quail gathering—a part of Monterey Car Week in the US—on Friday. The cost of this car is expected to exceed 1 million euros. At the same time, the price of the Diablo, which is the basis for the restomod, can reach about 585,000 euros, depending on the version.
