Removing a roof is easy; preserving a supercar’s character afterward is not. The Eccentrica V12 Roadster reengineers the first-series Lamborghini Diablo as an open-air restomod, retaining its mechanical theater while rebuilding nearly every system around it.

More than 3,500 bespoke components go into each car. The original platform receives carbon-fiber structural reinforcements, redesigned suspension geometry, and custom semi-active dampers, while the body combines steel and carbon fiber over a widened track.

Eccentrica also conducted a dedicated aerodynamic study to manage airflow around the open cabin. Hydraulic steering and modern Brembo brakes add control without sanding away the analog character that distinguishes the donor car—a more disciplined expression of the wedge-era instincts revisited by modern Lamborghini tributes.

The reengineered 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 produces 550 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 443 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm. Power reaches the rear wheels through a six-speed gated manual, with three driving modes adjusting the car for different conditions. Eccentrica claims a 208-mph top speed, supported by recalibrated engine management, revised thermal management, and optimized airflow.

Connolly leather, Alcantara, anodized trim, and exposed carbon fiber shape a cabin intended to improve the Diablo’s ergonomics without replacing its sense of occasion with screens. The V12 Roadster makes its public debut at The Quail on August 14, 2026. Production is limited to 19 individually configured cars, and Eccentrica has not announced pricing.
