Eccentrica’s Pacchetto Titano isn’t a restomod that pampers its driver. It’s the opposite – a raw, track-honed evolution of the company’s Lamborghini Diablo tribute that strips away comfort in favor of sharper reflexes and a more visceral connection to the road. Unveiled as a follow-up to last year’s debut at Monterey Car Week, it returned to The Quail with a clear mission: double down on everything that made the ’90s Diablo unforgettable.
The story begins with founder Emanuel Colombini, whose childhood fascination with the Diablo never faded. After years collecting supercars and running a successful interior design business, he stumbled upon one in a dealership and became obsessed with preserving Marcello Gandini’s design while fixing its flaws through modern engineering. Partnering with Milanese studio Borromeo de Silva, Eccentrica transforms first-generation Diablos into what Colombini calls “550-horsepower go-karts,” guided by three pillars – eccentricity, nostalgia, and pure driving pleasure.
With the Titano, those ideas manifest in exposed carbon-fiber bodywork that replaces paint entirely, shaving weight and showcasing the car’s intent. A fixed rear wing and subtle aerodynamic tweaks generate real downforce without losing the Diablo’s unmistakable silhouette. Forged carbon-aluminum wheels – 19 inches at the front and 20 at the rear – cut unsprung mass and channel air to the uprated Brembo brakes.
Underneath, stiffer springs and recalibrated adaptive dampers sharpen turn-in and response, while keeping just enough ride compliance for road use. The naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V12 gains an ECU remap for crisper throttle response, pushing beyond the original 542 horsepower and 442 lb-ft. Power still flows through an open-gated six-speed manual – a deliberate choice to keep the driving experience as mechanical and engaging as possible.
Inside, motorsport cues meet Eccentrica’s bespoke craftsmanship. There’s an anticorodal aluminum steering wheel with a light-blue 12 o’clock marker, extensive Alcantara, and a built-in fire suppression system for track days. It’s purposeful yet still indulgent, with every detail designed to serve the driver.
Only 19 Eccentrica V12s will be built, and the Titano arrives as an optional upgrade for those lucky owners. Pricing remains undisclosed, but with the base conversion costing around $1.4 million before sourcing a donor Diablo, this is an exercise in extreme exclusivity. Two unique commissions – the rose-gold Rose Phoenix and pastel-green Green Dragon – show how far personalization can go.
The Pacchetto Titano is not about nostalgia alone. It’s about taking an icon and making it even more unapologetic – a reminder that sometimes the best way to honor the past is to make it bite harder. And don’t forget t check our list of the fastest cars in the world.
