ECCENTRICA'S PURSUIT OF AUTOMOTIVE EXCELLENCE
The Eccentrica Diablo is a hand-built Lamborghini restomod limited to just 19 examples, each based on a donor Diablo and rebuilt from the ground up by Italian coachbuilder Eccentrica Cars. Founded by Emanuel Colombini, an amateur Lamborghini Super Trofeo driver and art furniture entrepreneur, Eccentrica exists for one purpose: to take the raw, visceral character of the 1990s Diablo and bring it to the standards of a modern track weapon without losing a single gram of the original's soul.
Who Is Eccentrica and Why the Diablo?
Emanuel Colombini created Eccentrica to mark Lamborghini's 60th anniversary with something more tangible than a celebration event: a genuine, road-legal restomod that honours the Diablo GTR's track-focused ethos. The Diablo is the choice because, for Colombini, it represents the last era of true, unfiltered Lamborghini excess before electronics arrived to smooth every edge. Rebuilding 19 of them means each customer receives something genuinely rare, genuinely unique.
In-depth coverage of the Eccentrica Diablo's development is available from Carscoops, with technical analysis from LamboCars.
Bodywork: Carbon Fibre and 3D-Printed Titanium
Nearly every body panel on the Eccentrica Diablo has been redesigned or replaced. Carbon fibre is used extensively across the exterior, reducing weight while sharpening the silhouette with wider arches, a more aggressive front splitter and a revised rear diffuser inspired by the Diablo GTR race car. 3D-printed titanium hardware appears throughout the build, in brackets, fasteners and structural elements, combining extreme lightness with aerospace-grade precision.
The interior is trimmed in full leather and Alcantara to customer specification. The steering column and shift linkage reference the Diablo GTR directly, preserving the tactile experience that makes a 1990s Lamborghini feel unlike anything built since. Build time per car is 16 to 18 months.
Engine and Performance
The original 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 is retained, but rebuilt with new valves and revised camshaft profiles to raise output to 542 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. The gated manual gearbox remains, as does the rear-wheel-drive layout, because Eccentrica had no interest in softening the driving experience through all-wheel drive or automatic shifts.
The result: 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. Braking is handled by 6-piston Brembo calipers with slotted rotors, improving braking distance by 20% over the original. Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tyres deliver 1.2 g of lateral grip. Price starts at around $1.3 million (excluding the donor car), with later estimates placing configured examples closer to $1.68 million.
