This…is a restomod done right. Yes, it’s a million dollar toy for rich people. But I feel that so many restorations forget why the original car was so loved to begin with. But this one…it looks like it entirely adds to the car, and takes nothing away.

The Diablo was loved for being an irrational, emotional, outrageous supercar. The restomod brings it into the 21st century without changing its essence. It’s still irrational, emotional, and outrageous, but it now has a lighter carbon fiber body, power steering, way better ergonomics, better cooling, and hopefully better reliability.

These extreme restomods are costly. But if Singer can command $1M+ for a modded 964, then these folks aren’t too far from the mark for the target audience.

I suspect Eccentrica is going to reveal this car in #Monterey next week.

DM me if you want to register a car at The Paddock as I have a discount code. We are taking my 2000 Lotus Elise Series 1 and 2010 Tesla Roadster. We live nearby and will be gathering a few people at our place over lunch time before we head over. There is a Radwood section for #WeirdCarMastodon fans from the 80s and 90s, some Spyker #supercars and a James Bond “No Time To Die” modified DB5. First time this show has been put on good food for dinner, fun #cars at a #CarShow

Heavy rain and standing/running water on the #F1 track at Albert Park saw the #Supercars sprint race doing 3 laps behind the safety car, before the race was red flagged (suspended).

A gap in the rain is expected, but there is little chance of getting racing in with the remaining 10-15 minute race window 😟
NB as expected, the Supercars race has been abandoned.

Oh, and the seagulls have joined the ducks in the infield area 😲

#Motorsport fans are used to seeing wildlife at #Australian events. I mean, kangaroos, echidnas, and snakes have made the occasional appearance at Bathurst over the years, but I do think today’s ducks during the #Supercars #MelbourneGP race will need to be rounded up and kept safe.

I would hate to see how they would … impact … #F1 racing 😳

🦆 and 🏎️ do not mix.
I know ducks are keen on lakes, but for this weekend, the Albert Park waterway is not a safe place for you. Sorry.
