Eccentrica Pacchetto Titano is a track-focused Lamborghini Diablo restomod
For 2025 Monterey Car Week, San Marino-based restomod firm Eccentrica is rolling out a more track-focused version of its Lamborghini Diablo upgrade package. Designed for "occasional track days," according to the company, the Titano Package sharpens the Diablo in a way Lamborghini never did when the V12 supercar was in production. The package includes suspension changes, a new ECU map, and subtle styling changes, all of which will be shown off on a new build called the Pacchetto Titano at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering. Eccentrica is also bringing two other cars-dubbed Rose Phoenix and Green Dragon-to demonstrate configuration possibilities. Those suspension changes consist of stiffer springs and a recalibration of the adaptive dampers for "heightened lateral responsiveness and precision feedback, without compromising comfort on spirited canyon roads," according to an Eccentrica press release. The other major mechanical change is an ECU remap that "enhances throttle response across the rev range," according to Eccentrica. The company didn't mention any changes in output, but for reference its standard tune for the Diablo's 5.7-liter V12 delivers 542 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. That power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. It wouldn't be a track-day special without carbon-fiber aerodynamic aids, and the Titano Package checks that box. A fixed carbon-fiber rear wing, as well as some other small changes to the bodywork, help increase downforce without dramatically altering the looks of the car. Lightweight wheels with carbon-aluminum construction, in a staggered 19-inch front/20-inch rear setup, are also part of the package. In addition to the wheels, changes to the cooling ducts for the Brembo braking system help further reduce unsprung mass. The Pacchetto Titano doubles down on that with exposed carbon-fiber bodywork, but customers will presumably be able to choose paint as well. The car also has a fire-suppression system and Alcantara upholstery with billet aluminum accents, along with a compact steering wheel with blue center stripe. Eccentrica didn't break out pricing for the Titano Package, but its builds start at $1.4 million, not including the cost of a donor car. The company plans to build just 19 of its Eccentrica V12 restomods, and aims for each build to be unique. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Eccentrica Unveils Track-Focused 'Titano Package' at The Quail
Summary Eccentricahas returned to The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, with three striking new creations, led by the debut of its most performance-focused build to date — the Pacchetto Titano. Based on the San Marino atelier's acclaimed V12 restomod, the Titano Package sits firmly in Eccentrica's Sport universe, sharpening the car's track credentials without losing its grand touring soul. Designed for occasional track days, the package adds a fixed carbon-fiber rear wing, aerodynamic tweaks for increased downforce, stiffer springs, recalibrated adaptive dampers and lightweight forged alloy-carbon wheels. A bespoke ECU remap delivers sharper throttle response, while Brembo-developed brakes ensure precise, consistent stopping power. Inside, Alcantara trim, billet aluminum accents and a motorsport-derived steering wheel keep the focus on driver connection. The example shown at The Quail features full exposed carbon-fiber bodywork and a fire-suppression system, underscoring its circuit-ready nature. Joining Titano on display are Rose Phoenix, a heritage-inspired build finished in triple-layer Rose Gold with Coconut Alcantara and nabuk leather and Green Dragon, an extroverted Verde Chartreuse pastel creation with bold contrast elements. Together, the trio represents Eccentrica's three creative 'worlds,' Sport, Heritage and Eccentrica, each offering a distinct approach to reinterpretingLamborghini-based icons through modern engineering, bespoke craftsmanship and boundary-pushing design.

This Lamborghini Diablo V-12 Restomod Was Made for the Track
Remember the Eccentrica V-12? The stunning Lamborghini Diablo restomod that debuted last year in Monterey is back for Car Week 2025—this time in an even more extreme form. Meet the Eccentrica Pacchetto Titano. Developed specifically for the track, the Titano trim takes Eccentrica's V-12 restomod to a new level of performance and precision. Designed for enthusiasts who plan to use the car as a weekend track toy, it features a number of performance-focused upgrades. Photo by: Eccentrica To reduce weight, Eccentrica fitted the car with partially exposed carbon fiber bodywork. A fixed rear wing and redesigned front splitters enhance downforce, while standard Pirelli Trofeo R tires and a Capristo exhaust system round out the aggressive track-ready package. The Eccentrica Titano features a stiffer suspension setup, managed by revised software for sharper handling. The engine electronics have been recalibrated for quicker throttle response, while the Brembo braking system now benefits from additional cooling ducts. Forged alloy wheels—staggered at 19 inches up front and 20 inches at the rear—are fitted with special carbon inserts to help reduce unsprung mass. One thing that remains unchanged is the heart of the car: A 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V-12, still tuned to deliver 542 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a custom six-speed manual transmission. Photo by: Eccentrica Photo by: Eccentrica Photo by: Eccentrica In addition to the V-12 Titano, Eccentrica will debut two bespoke versions of its Diablo restomod at The Quail. The first, called the Rose Phoenix, features a three-layer Rose Gold paint finish paired with a "coconut" Alcantara interior and Nubuck leather accents. The second, dubbed the Green Dragon, sports a more aggressive design in pastel green paint, complete with carbon fiber details and matching interior finishes. Eccentrica hasn't disclosed how much the Titano trim adds to the cost of the standard Diablo restomod, but it's expected to significantly exceed the base price of €1.2 million (around $1.4 million).

The Pacchetto Titano is a ‘track-inspired' version of the Lambo Diablo restomod
Retro Eccentrica sportifies its V12 homage to Lambo's scary icon Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Eccentrica Cars has revealed a subtle, track-honed twist on its glorious homage to the Lamborghini Diablo, where 'subtle' actually means 'terrifying'. In today's edition of Everything Sounds Better In Italian , meet the Pacchetto Titano. Most notably, this 'Titano Package' decks the Diablo out in a full, exposed carbon fibre body said to be both a 'technical' choice – because carbon fibre = very sporty – but also an 'aesthetic' choice, because carbon fibre also = very excellent. Advertisement - Page continues below To this very excellent carbon fibre body comes a delightful little wing fixed onto the rear of the reimagined Italian hero. That tops off a number of 'subtly redesigned' aerodynamic elements said to generate more downforce without sacrificing the car's lines. Eccentrica has also fitted stiffer springs and recalibrated the adaptive dampers to be more responsive, but still maintains that away from the circuit, it'll remain comfortable 'on spirited canyon roads'. You might like There are Brembo brakes, which now hide behind new lightweight forged alloy wheels with better brake cooling ducts. There are also a few more 0s and 1s into the Diablo's ECU so that throttle response across the rev range is 'sharp, instantaneous and visceral'. No word on any engine upgrades, but likely none are needed, because this Diablo gets a tweaked version of Lamborghini's 5.7-litre nat-asp V12 (new cams, more power). Bet on around 540bhp. Advertisement - Page continues below Which makes this a carbon fibre rocket. Inside, the Pacchetto Titano features Alcantara upholstery, billet aluminium accents, and a motorsport-derived steering wheel. 'We wanted to create a package that genuinely amplifies the driving experience without overshadowing the core essence of our car,' said Eccentrica boss Emanuel Colombini. It's one of just 19 Eccentrica Diablos planned, and will be shown off this weekend at The Quail motorsport show in California alongside a couple of other special Diablos: the 'Rose Pheonix' (rose gold livery), and 'Green Dragon' (green body/leather).

Watch Top Gear's first drive of the stunning V12 Lamborghini Diablo restomod
Advertisement Video Lambo's scary twelve-pot supercar returns to terrorise 2025 in the shape of Eccentrica's bold reinvention 13 minutes 10 seconds Top Gear can confirm the original 1990s Lamborghini Diablo lives up to its myth and legend: it's exactly as scary as you think it is, whether you're doing 120mph along a derestricted road or just reversing the damn thing at 2mph. Welcome then, to a new era of fear. Emanual Colombini, an Italian furniture magnate and Lamborghini owner, has invested his resources into resurrecting Lamborghini's original scary poster car for a new generation. And on first glance, it's a bold reinvention. There's a bit of history mixed into the new looks, because Lambo's former tech boss Maurizio Reggiani is a consultant on the project, attempting to right some of the issues that plagued the underdeveloped - but still iconic - original. Advertisement - Page continues below So its steel spaceframe has been reinforced with carbon fibre. There are new suspension uprights, joints and hubs. Heck, there's even traction control and adjustable chassis modes. Plus, it gets proper brakes this time out. The engine remains a hearty 5.7-litre V12, but here it's been treated to new cams, a new ECU, and 50bhp more to record a 540bhp total. Sounds... proper, too. Find out just how proper as Top Gear's Tom Ford gets to grips with the reinvented Italian supercar in our video up above.
