Lamborghini Diablo Returns to Monterey Car Week 2024

A year ago we told you about the Diablo Eccentricaa restomod that takes some elements from the various editions of Diablo produced between 1990 and 2001.

Born thanks to the entrepreneur Emanuel Colombini (collector, driver in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship and founder of the Eccentric Carsa startup based in San Marino), in collaboration with BorromeodeSilva and various partners (including Pirelli, Brembo, Marantz, Capristo and Alcantara), the Diablo Eccentrica, replicated in just 19 units, will be at the Monterey Car Weekscheduled in the United States from August 9 to 18, 2024.

How could we forget Diablo?

The Diablo, produced from 1990 to 2001, was the heir to the Countach and anticipated the Murcielago. Launched when Chrysler owned Lamborghini, 2,884 units were produced, equipped with a 5.7-liter or 6.0-liter V12 engine and a five-speed manual transmission.

The BorromeodeSilva design studio played a key role in enhancing the personality of the Diablo and preserving its iconic character in the Eccentrica. The restomod retains the classic design, but uses composite materials and a reinforced and tempered tubular steel frame.

One of the outstanding features of the Eccentrica are, for example, the pop-up headlightspresent on the first versions of the Diablo and then replaced by fixed projectors. The interiors, likewise, combine the minimalism of the 90s with the most advanced technology.

Diablo Eccentrica, dimensions and performance

The beating heart of the Eccentrica is a V12 engine which delivers a power of 550 HP at 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 600 Nm at 6500 rpm. The maximum speed is 335 km/hthe weight/power ratio is 2.91 kg/hp and the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 3.8 seconds.

The overall length of the Eccentrica V12 is 4,437 mm, while the width is 103 mm. The height of 1,114 mm contributes to a low center of gravity and therefore better handling. The wheelbase has been extended to 2,665 mm, an increase of 15 mm compared to the Diablo, for greater high speed stability.

These changes, in fact, improve road holding, downforce and weight distribution, which is 41% front and 59% rear. Furthermore, theminimum ground clearance is 125mm, which should provide an ideal balance between performance and practicality on the road.

The transmission of power to the ground is ensured by Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tiresa semi-slick track tyre also approved for road use. In addition, a braking system with 380 mm discs on the front axle and six-piston calipers specially developed by Brembo has been introduced.
