Eccentrica's Lamborghini Diablo Restomod Is Now Available As A Roadster, Still Firmly In The Uncanny Valley - Jalopnik
Eccentrica
The restomodders finally came for the Lamborghini Diablo a couple of years ago, when a company called Eccentrica announced plans to build 19 examples of a car it called the V12. The Eccentrica V12 promised carbon-fiber bodywork, a 550-horsepower V12 engine paired with a gated shifter, LED lighting, a modern interior, and a look that just felt a little off from every angle. Now, Eccentrica is back with the V12 Roadster, a roof-free version that's automatically better because roadsters are a type of convertible, and life is better with more convertibles.

I haven’t had that kind of reaction to a script before, ever.”
