The biggest changes are arguably on the top, at the rear and inside, though we’ll get to the latter in a moment. All the vents and windows are where Lamborghini left them, just re-sculpted – aft the coupe window and ahead of the front wheel – though there is a bit of a carbon side skirt, complete with vortex-generating flap.

The carbon mirrors and mirror legs meanwhile smack somewhat of the Murcielago, with LED indicators built in to the structure.

The wheels are very similar to the one-make racer’s Speedlines, too. The stance is very much Diablo GTR, with the front fenders exaggerated in exactly the same way, albeit incorporating ‘Diablo horns’ in the way they jut upwards at the edge – very snazzy. Incidentally, there are three settings to the pop-down flap. Obviously, those lights are entirely new, with LED internals and yes, a pop-down flap to cover them, leaving only a DRL strip when fully deployed. Up front, the look of the Eccentrica Diablo has carbon-clad 6.0 VT energy, with clean cuboidal intakes (complete with 3D printed guts), rectangular lights (not from a Nissan this time) and SV-esque NACA vents above. We said the silhouette is seemingly untouched, but perhaps speaking to the extent of the changes is the fact the wheelbase is longer with shorter overhangs and an overall wider body. It’s definitely more along the lines of the 928 or even the Kimera Evo37 – taking the fundamentals and timeless silhouette and adding exaggeration and thorough modernisation.

So no, this Diablo isn’t quite so sympathetic to the original the way some early 911s reimagined by Singer are. Happily, the designers of this nipped and tucked Diablo have previous in this arena, with past works including the stunning Automobili Amos Futurista, Safarista and Nardone 928, which had pride of place at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard last year.
