A carbon fiber body and a naturally aspirated V12 engine unite for the new, extravagant Lamborghini Diablo known as Eccentrica
Introducing the Eccentrica Lamborghini Diablo Restomod Range: A Blend of Nostalgia and Modernity
The automotive world is abuzz with excitement as Eccentrica unveils its limited-edition Lamborghini Diablo restomod range. This exceptional collection, comprising just 19 meticulously reimagined supercars, combines the iconic 1990s styling of the Diablo with modern performance and luxury upgrades.
At the helm of this project is Emanuel Colombini, founder of Eccentrica, who fondly recalls the Diablo as his dream car from childhood. His affection for the iconic supercar is evident in the extensive redesign and reengineering that has gone into the restomod range.
The heart of the Eccentrica Lamborghini Diablo restomod range is a bespoke tuned naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V12 engine, producing around 550 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine is paired with a modern six-speed manual transmission and a refreshed chassis dynamics system, ensuring a driving experience that is nothing short of exhilarating.
The flagship model of the range is the 'Titano' variant, a sophisticated track-capable machine that elevates the restomod from a refined road car to a high-performance vehicle. Key features of the Titano include stiffer suspension, a remapped ECU for sharper throttle response, a chassis setup tuned for more engagement, and a sleek carbon fiber fixed rear wing to increase downforce.
The Titano boasts a largely full exposed carbon fiber body, with subtle carbon inserts for weight savings and aggressive aesthetics. Custom forged carbon-aluminum wheels, sized 19 inches front and 20 inches rear, have been designed for reduced unsprung weight and improved handling.
Inside, the Titano offers a race-inspired yet luxurious cabin featuring Alcantara upholstery, billet aluminum accents, retro-style digital gauges, and a motorsport-derived anticorodal aluminum steering wheel with a light blue viewfinder. Safety and usability are not compromised, with the inclusion of a fire-suppression system.
Alongside the Titano, Eccentrica offers two other highly customized variants, the Rose Phoenix and Green Dragon, which explore more flamboyant color and design themes but share the same technical foundation.
Eccentrica's founder, Emanuel Colombini, envisions the Diablo restomod as a way to revive the emotional and legendary status of the original Diablo, combining nostalgia with modern precision and exclusivity. Each car involves more than 3,500 new components and aims to evoke "infinite emotions per gallon" with the purity of a manual V12 driving experience.
In essence, the Eccentrica Diablo restomod range is a bespoke, limited-edition project that honors the original Lamborghini Diablo’s heritage while introducing extensive modern upgrades. The flagship Titano stands out with its race-inspired enhancements focused on track performance and uncompromised road manners, all wrapped in stunning exposed carbon fiber design and crafted with exceptional attention to detail and exclusivity. As Emanuel Colombini describes it, the Diablo is a "550hp go-kart" with "unparalleled driving dynamics," offering "infinite emotions per gallon" with its manual transmission.
