San Marino-based restomodder Eccentrica has turned its new-look Lamborghini Diablo into a V12 roadster.
It has retained the underpinnings of the Diablo, including the mid-mounted engine, but entirely overhauled the 1990s supercar to bring it up to modern standards.
The 5.7-litre V12 has been fettled for sharper responses, sending 542bhp and 442lb ft of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
The Eccentrica V12 Roadster’s engineering was led by Maurizio Reggiani, the former chief technical officer of Lamborghini.
The V12 Roadster will make its debut at The Quail gathering – a part of Monterey Car Week in the US – on 14 August.
