During Monterey Car Week 2026, Eccentrica introduced its V12 Roadster at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. This open-top restomod, derived from a first-series Lamborghini Diablo, boasts over 3,500 custom components crafted from a mix of steel and carbon fiber. It features a wider track, modified dimensions, and carbon fiber reinforcements to accommodate the missing roof. The revamped 5.7-liter V12 engine generates 550 hp and 600 Nm of torque, achieving a maximum speed of 208 mph. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, it offers three distinct driving modes. Maurizio Reggiani heads the engineering team, and Eccentrica intends to produce just 19 uniquely configured units. The Roadster is set to make its public debut on August 14.
