At The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week 2024, Eccentrica unveils its V12 hypercar, a modern twist on the classic Lamborghini Diablo. The San Marino-based restomod manufacturer already has a similar hypercar in 3D printed titanium, but this time around, the restomod hypercar is fully drivable. From the aesthetics to the engine, the Eccentrica Lamborghini nails the ’90s vibes and era, starting with its 5.7-liter V12 engine.

It comes from the original 1990s Diablo model, and the difference is that this restomod can produce 550 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. That means the vehicle can speed away with boosted power and speed. The car’s engine has been paired with a new, custom-built six-speed transmission. This new setup includes updated gear ratios, so the car can perform better and more efficiently. There are only 19 models available for this version, each of which can be customized by the owner. Eccentrica says that the first deliveries will begin in the summer of 2025.

Restomod hypercar with v12 engine for more horsepower

Unlike the original Lamborghini Diablo, which didn’t have power steering, the Eccentrica V12 restomod has an upgraded power steering system that makes it easier to handle for modern driving. There are new parts in the engine such as the camshafts (which control the engine’s valves), an electronic throttle (which handles the engine’s power), and a refined flywheel (which helps the engine run more smoothly). These updates give the car 55 more horsepower than the original engine, making it even faster and more powerful. It can now reach an estimated top speed of 335 kph (208 mph), which is 10 kph (6 mph) faster than the original Diablo.

Technical upgrades turn up within the Eccentrica V12. Composite materials help strengthen the restomod hypercar’s chassis for a strong and lightweight frame. The vehicle also has a double-wishbone suspension system, which can maintain the hypercar’s stability, especially when driving fast or turning. Some advanced shock absorbers, called active dampers, are in place too, made by a company called TracTive. The driver can adjust these shock absorbers to three different settings, so they can choose how stiff or soft the ride feels. There’s also a front axle lift system that helps the car get over bumps or steep driveways without scraping the bottom.

The Eccentrica V12 Lamborghini Diablo features an exhaust system. The company Capristo has developed it to enhance the revving sound when driving the restomod hypercar. For stopping power, the car uses a high-tech braking system from BREMBO. It includes unique matte-painted brake calipers, the part of the brakes that clamp down on the wheels to stop the car. Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires fit in well in the vehicle, which offer better grip on the road, especially at higher speeds. It also has new custom-made 19-inch wheels made from aluminum alloy for a lighter, larger, firmer, and more controlled driving experience.

Inside the Eccentrica V12, the cockpit retains the retro-futuristic style of the original Lamborghini Diablo, giving the interior a vintage look but with the latest technology. The upgrade also shows up in the steering wheel, dashboard instruments, and control surfaces, and there’s also a new digital infotainment system for the control center, music, navigation, and more. There’s also a rear camera displayed on the rearview mirror, and the restomod hypercar comes with an audio system made by Marantz for a custom-designed, high-end sound experience. So far, the delivery of the first Eccentrica V12 Lamborghini Diablo is scheduled for the summer of 2025.
