Eccentrica Previews Stunning Restomod Headed to California
Eccentrica Cars is set to officially unveil its latest Lamborghini restomod during Car Week.
The team at Eccentrica Cars is cooking up something exciting. In a recent Instagram teaser, the company showcased a sleek carbon fiber spoiler mounted on the rear haunches of what appears to be a new Italian restomod. While the full reveal is slated for Monterey Car Week this August, Eccentrica has only shared the name of the upcoming model—leaving much to the imagination. Still, with the unmistakable design cues and past projects as context, it’s clear that Lamborghini is once again the main inspiration behind their latest creation.
Eccentrica has named its latest creation the Pacchetto Titano, a tribute to the Titano peak that towers roughly 600 feet above San Marino—a small independent republic surrounded by Italy. According to the company, the name translates to “Titan Pack,” and it’s more than just a geographical nod. Eccentrica says the car “channels [San Marino’s] audacity into sculpted carbon and steel,” suggesting a bold and aggressive interpretation of Italian design rooted in heritage and performance.
Diablo Restomod Is Shaping Up to Be a Beast
Judging by the roofline seen in earlier teaser images, Eccentrica’s latest project is once again based on the iconic Lamborghini Diablo. That comes as no surprise—the Diablo has been the foundation of the company’s past builds and will continue to anchor its first production series. While Eccentrica founder Emanuel Colombini has hinted at future restomods based on the last manual-transmission Lamborghinis, like the Gallardo or Murciélago, this new project isn’t that follow-up just yet. Instead, it’s a refined evolution of the brand’s obsession with the bold and brutal Diablo.

This latest build is most likely one of the 19 limited-edition Diablo restomods Eccentrica originally announced, with customer deliveries slated to begin by the end of the year. However, it likely won’t be based on a standard Diablo. Instead, expect it to draw from a more specialized or performance-focused variant, adding even more exclusivity and aggression to an already dramatic platform.
Earlier this year, Eccentrica confirmed plans to debut the first of its Diablo-based restomods at Monterey Car Week in August. True to that promise, the upcoming car looks to be a thoroughly modernized interpretation of the classic supercar. Carbon fiber is used extensively throughout, including in the chassis tunnel to enhance structural rigidity. The entire vehicle has been reengineered with upgraded, larger brakes, a modern suspension setup, and contemporary lighting. Fit and finish appear to far exceed what the original Diablo ever offered from the factory—making this restomod not just a tribute, but a substantial improvement in every sense.
Eccentrica Is Making Lamborghini’s V12 Even More Powerful
Eccentrica isn’t just refining the Diablo’s looks—it’s also dialing up performance. The version of the car already shown features a thoroughly reworked take on Lamborghini’s iconic V12 engine. Thanks to a new airbox, crankshaft, valves, pistons, and a custom exhaust system, output has been bumped to 550 horsepower—an increase of 50 hp over the original. Beyond raw power, the upgrades also include modern engine management, making the car far more usable and refined in everyday driving compared to its 1990s predecessor.
Is Eccentrica basing this restomod on a specific Diablo variant? That’s still unclear. A quick look through the extensive lineup of Diablo special editions reveals no model featuring a subtle rear wing like the one teased. While most Diablos came equipped with large, imposing wings, many owners chose to forgo the rear spoiler altogether, giving their cars a cleaner, sleeker profile. Eccentrica’s design seems to draw inspiration from that minimalist approach, blending classic lines with modern aerodynamic touches.
The closest resemblance appears to be the Diablo SV, which features a rear wing similar in style to the VT’s but noticeably shorter—much like the one Eccentrica is showcasing. Unlike the all-wheel-drive VT, the SV was a rear-wheel-drive model boasting a 503-horsepower V12 that revved past 7,100 rpm. It also incorporated several subtle upgrades originally introduced on the SE30 Jota editions. Among the SV lineup, there was a limited run of 20 units known as the Monterey Edition, adding another layer of exclusivity to the Super Veloce lineage.
Is that just a coincidence? We’ll find out for sure this August.
