This is called, quite simply, the ‘V12 Roadster,’ largely because it has a V12 and it’s very much a roadster. It’s been built by a company called Eccentrica, which specializes in restoring and updating Lamborghini’s ’90s leviathan into something worth lots of millions.
We do not yet know how much this’ll go for, but ‘a lot’ is probably a good guess. And you get a lot of car thrown in for that amount—a lot of good car, if the Eccentrica V12 coupe is any sort of benchmark. Indeed, “it’s better in every direction,” we said of the hardtop.
Eccentrica is keeping some of its powder dry ahead of a full reveal in California, so for now has confirmed only that the V12 Roadster wears a steel and carbon-fiber body, and features redesigned suspension geometry and bespoke semi-active dampers. Just like the coupe, then.

Inside, the V12 Roadster is treated to plentiful leather, alcantara, a bit more carbon fiber (exposed), and even a few anodized finishes, though for over £1 million (around P82.7 million), you can pretty much do what you like with it.
Further inside, the V12 Roadster is also treated to...a big V12. It’s the same spec as the coupe, which means you’re treated to a 5.7-liter re-engineered twelve-cylinder capable of 550hp, 600Nm, and a 0-100kph time somewhere under 4sec. That’s still channeled through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels. All in, only 19 of these Roadsters are being built.
“An open-air evolution of the original Eccentrica V12, the Roadster transforms a ’90s icon into the analog supercar its creators would dream of today,” Eccentrica said. We’ll bring you more news—and more pics—when we get them.
