Eccentrica has modernized the Lamborghini Diablo while keeping the car's analog nature.
The project is the brainchild of Emanuel Colombini, who heads the Colombini furniture company and is a huge fan of Lamborghini. In addition to owning a collection of the brand's cars, he's also a participant in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo one-make racing series.
“As a child I remember seeing the red Diablo in the first release of the Quattroruote magazine—it was love at first sight,” Colombini said in a statement. “Later, after having had the chance to drive the GT version, I decided to pay homage to it, conceiving of a restomod company built around this project.”The work done to the car is extensive. After stripping the donor Diablo down to its steel tubular chassis, reinforcements were made to improve strength and rigidity.
Enhancements to the powertrain extend well beyond the exhaust system. Behind the cabin remains the original 5.7-liter V-12 found in earlier Diablos , but it has been fitted with new valves and camshafts, helping to boost output to 550 hp, up from the stock 485 hp. Other modifications include 19-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires, and modern Brembo brakes featuring six-piston calipers. The new brakes require just 111 feet to stop the car from 62 mph, or 23 less than before.
