This year at Monterey Car Week, Eccentrica is taking its bonkers Lamborghini Diablo restomod to the next level. The Italian company has unveiled its new V12 Roadster, an open-top evolution of the original Eccentrica V12 coupe that combines the look of the 1990s supercar with modern engineering and a naturally aspirated V12.<\/p>\n

The Roadster will make its public debut on August 14 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week<\/a>. Like the original Eccentrica V12, production will be limited to just 19 examples, with each car individually configured for its owner. And the specs are downright impressive:<\/p>\n

\nPower: 550 Horsepower \/ 443 Pound-Feet
\nTransmission: Six-Speed Manual
\n0-62 MPH: 3.8 Seconds
\nTop Speed: 208 MPH

More Power, Less Roof<\/p>\n

The heart of the Roadster is a re-engineered 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 550 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 443 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a six-speed gated manual transmission, while three driving modes allow the driver to adjust the car for different conditions. Eccentrica claims a top speed of 208 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

Removing the roof required more than simply cutting away the top of a Diablo<\/a>. Eccentrica says it conducted a dedicated aerodynamic study to manage airflow around the open cabin, while the chassis received carbon-fiber structural reinforcements.<\/p>\n

The body combines steel and carbon fiber while retaining the unmistakable proportions of the original Diablo. The car also gets a widened track, revised suspension geometry, semi-active dampers, hydraulic steering, and modern Brembo brakes.<\/p>\n

Built To Be Bespoke<\/p>\n

Inside, Connolly leather, Alcantara, anodized materials, and exposed carbon fiber give the cabin a more modern feel without completely abandoning the old-school character that makes the original car special.<\/p>\n

Eccentrica says more than 3,500 bespoke components are developed for each vehicle as part of its comprehensive re-engineering process. The Roadster was created with Milan-based design studio Borromeo De Silva, while development was led by Maurizio Reggiani, the former Lamborghini chief technical officer who worked on cars including the Murci\u00e9lago, Gallardo, Aventador, and Hurac\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

As founder Emanuel Colombini notes:<\/p>\n

‘The Eccentrica V12 was our opening statement. The Roadster is the next chapter; more exposed, more immediate, more demanding. No roof. No filter. Nothing between you and the machine.’<\/p>\n

With only 19 examples planned, the Eccentrica V12 Roadster will be an extremely rare sight\u2014even by modern supercar standards.<\/p>\n

Motor1\u2019s Take: Not that the Diablo needed help standing out, but Eccentrica’s V12 Roadster makes a strong case for cutting the roof off anyway. A 9,000-rpm-era supercar with a naturally aspirated V12, gated manual, and no roof sounds like exactly the kind of old-school recipe the modern supercar world is missing.<\/p>\n
