According to Eccentrica, the open-top Eccentrica V12 Roadster debuts on August 14 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, joining the original coupe as an open-top evolution of the original Eccentrica V12 coupe. Powered by a re-engineered 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 pushing 550 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed manual transmission, the limited-run supercar strips away modern hybrid tech to offer a raw, open-air driving experience.
Engine Specs and Performance Figures of the Eccentrica V12 Roadster
Behind the cockpit sits a thoroughly re-engineered 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V12. According to Eccentrica, it produces 550 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 443 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a six-speed gated manual transmission. Eccentrica claims that the 3,395-pound Roadster accelerates from zero to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, topping out at 208 miles per hour. Drivers can manage these performance metrics using three driving modes allowing the driver to adjust the car for different conditions.
Did you know? HotCars notes that the engineering work was headed up by former Lamborghini chief technical officer Maurizio Reggiani, whose past portfolio includes models like the Murciélago, Gallardo, Aventador, and Huracán.
Aerodynamic Engineering and Chassis Reinforcements
Removing the roof required more than simply cutting away the top of a Diablo. According to Eccentrica, the company conducted a dedicated aerodynamic study to manage airflow around the open cabin. To compensate for the missing roof, the chassis received carbon-fiber structural reinforcements. The body combines steel and carbon fiber while retaining the unmistakable proportions of the original Diablo, enhanced by a widened track, revised suspension geometry, semi-active dampers, hydraulic steering, and modern Brembo brakes.
Bespoke Interior and Production Limits
Blending a contemporary ambiance with the timeless DNA of the classic vehicle, the interior features visible carbon fiber, Alcantara, anodized details, and Connolly leather. Eccentrica states that more than 3,500 bespoke components are developed for each vehicle as part of its comprehensive re-engineering process. Created with the Milan-based design studio Borromeo De Silva, production of the Roadster is limited to just 19 examples. Founder Emanuel Colombini describes the machine by stating, according to Eccentrica, “The Eccentrica V12 was our opening statement. The Roadster is the next chapter; more exposed, more immediate, more demanding. No roof. No filter. Nothing between you and the machine.” Pricing details have not been publicly announced.
