Eccentrica Unveils 550-HP Diablo Roadster, Limiting Roofless V12 Restomod to 19 Cars

Q: Limited to just 19 units, what astronomical price tag hides behind this ultimate roofless Lamborghini Diablo transformation?

Eccentrica has not officially announced a price for the V12 Roadster, but the best-supported estimate is that it will start above the coupe’s roughly €1.2 million price, commonly reported at about $1.3 million before the donor Diablo is included. That means the real outlay is likely far higher. Multiple reports on the coupe said the €1.2 million/$1.3 million figure did not include the donor car, and a suitable Lamborghini Diablo can add roughly another $400,000 or more depending on condition and specification. Because the Roadster requires additional engineering, including chassis reinforcement, bespoke carbon-fiber work and aero redevelopment for the roofless body, it is widely expected to cost more than the fixed-roof version. In practical terms, buyers are probably looking at a total spend approaching or exceeding $1.7 million, and some coverage has suggested the final number could move toward $2 million once the donor car and extensive customization are factored in. So while Eccentrica is keeping the official sticker private for now, the Roadster’s “astronomical” price tag is expected to be well north of $1.3 million, with a realistic all-in figure likely in the high-seven-figure range.

Eccentrica revealed a roofless V12 Roadster based on the Lamborghini Diablo, with public debut set for August 14 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week.
A re-engineered 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 delivers 550 horsepower through a six-speed gated manual, giving the 3,395-pound car a claimed 0-62 mph time of 3.8 seconds and 208-mph top speed.
Removing the roof prompted a dedicated aerodynamic study and carbon-fiber chassis reinforcements, alongside a widened track, revised suspension, semi-active dampers, hydraulic steering and Brembo brakes.
Only 19 examples will be built, each individually configured with more than 3,500 bespoke components and an interior trimmed in Connolly leather, Alcantara and exposed carbon fiber.
The Roadster was created with Borromeo De Silva and developed under former Lamborghini CTO Maurizio Reggiani, extending Eccentrica's strategy of modernizing 1990s Diablo character with contemporary engineering.
