  • Oberscheider attends the Tuning Hobel 2017 Challenge: Check their vehicle of choice!

    2017 Obersheider Lamborghini Huracan Obersheider Tuning AG team will be competing in the Tuning Hobel 2017 challenge. The Swiss engineering team decided that it would try to tackle down its competitors with a heavily revised Lambo Huracan. This 800hp monster will be battling with other furious machines – for example, the German competitors will be relying on an upgraded Ferrari 488 and a Ford GT with titanic 1,099horsepower. We bet that this would be one hell of a race!

    But let’s talk about the Swiss tuning studio, shall we? Established back in 1985, Oberscheider has proved itself as one of the most prominent and reliable tuners out there. Furthermore, it has received wide recognition for its hardware and software exclusive solutions. And now the team proves itself worthy one more time – with this one lucky Huracan machine.

    The Lambo itself remains a perfect example of how Oberscheider approaches challenges and issues: with finesse and passion. The Huracan receives an exclusive compressor-kit and a new exhaust system that removes a total of 20 kilos off the total vehicle weight. Cool! Further upgrades include new rims in 9×20 on the front and 12.5×21 on the rear axle and, by the way, all this is topped with a pretty noticeable and a hurricane-ish brute sound. Sweet.

    In other words, all the additions and changes contribute to a total 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in mere 2,5 seconds and to even more impressive 0-200km/h run that ends in 8,3 seconds. These fine numbers are topped by the 325km/h as a speed limit. As if “limit” is the appropriate word for this particular vehicle with these particular tuning additions.

  • From Hot Rods to Blown S197s, Justin Dugan Is AmericanMuscle’s Resident Gearhead [w/VIDEO]

    Justiin Dugan Ford Mustang

    Off The Heels Of Completing His 2014 Mustang Build, Justin Dugan Opens Up About His Passion For Cars

    MALVERN, Pa. (June 30, 2017) – AmericanMuscle video host Justin Dugan recently completed his build on his 2014 Mustang GT with a 4th stage of mods. Adding a Roush TVS 2300 Blower, long tube headers, a Forgestar drag wheel setup, a mix of suspension and brake goodies, Justin’s 2014 GT is putting down 643 RWHP and 564 RWTQ, making it a lean, mean tire-shredding machine. But there is much more to Justin than his famous Mustang build; many people don’t know how big of a car enthusiast Justin is.

    Justin grew up a gearhead, fawning over everything ‘60s and ‘70s muscle cars to air-cooled VWs and the iconic Lamborghini Countach. When it came time to get his license, Justin had his eyes on a 4-eyed Foxbody a neighbor was selling, but some parental intervention persuaded him to go with a 1970’s air-cooled VW Bus instead of a worked 308 Fox on drag wheels—probably a wise decision for a 16-year-old.

    Justiin Dugan Ford Mustang

    In between owning the Bus and a few other old school cruisers, Justin eventually found himself with a 1927 all ‘Henry Ford’ steel roadster body on Model A rails. Justin spoke of the powerplant saying, “It’s powered by a 292 Y-block which is an often time forgotten about engine but it really is an important powerplant in the Ford lineage- it essentially bridged the gap between the flathead and the Windsor engines.  The Y-block doesn’t make a ton of power but it has an awesome sound to it, especially with the open headers I had on the car at the time.”

    However, Justin’s ’27 hot rod is just one of his three current rides, and albeit for better or for worse, has taken a backseat to his other projects. After dialing things up to the max with his 2014 GT (Justin’s favorite car he’s owned to date), his focus is now set on his 2017 Raptor. Justin is still enjoying the Raptor in stock form saying, “It’s honestly more truck than most people need, including myself- but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to enjoy it.  In fact, we have some big plans for the truck, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.  It’s hard to improve something that is already badass but we have a few things in mind.”

    Justiin Dugan Ford Mustang

    From hot rods to cruisers, Justin will drive just about anything with some character or some get-up-and-go, an essential trait for any bonafide gearhead. We love how Justin has modified his 2014 GT and look forward to seeing what he does with his 2017 Raptor.

  • How it’s done: luxurious and elegant interior. By Vilner

    2017 Vilner Lamborghini HuracanNot once or twice have we admitted that Italians have neat taste about things. Food, fashion, cars. You name it! Of course, Italian vehicles are in leading position, as it come to styling: they are sexy! Even the names that they give sound super cool! As our friends from Vilner have noticed: even something like “a four-wheel-vehicle” sounds neat – Quattroporte.

    However, there are some who want even more. A guy bought himself a neat 2016 Huracan machine and not long after he realized that the interior is simply boring. And the most disappointing thing was that a revision and upgrade by Lamborghini team is super expensive and many find it not worthy. Luckily, Vilner crew is always here for you!

    2017 Vilner Lamborghini Huracan

    As always, they have done some magnificent interior work: all the details in the cockpit fully resemble the exterior baldness and elegance. The most notable thing about this project is that designers have chosen the “stitching-less” approach.

    SEE ALSO: Audi TT Roadster by Vilner. Astonishing.

    The second notable feature is the “double contrast”: it is achieved by adding the same Verde Mantis color in the cabin and combining it once with the black covers and second time with the organic appearance of these inserts on the exterior. Sweet. There are also some features that are not only style-oriented, but also bring a pinch of utility. Such are the new Vilner paddles that contribute to the overall luxury feel, but also prevent driver’s knees from injuries, due to making them super soft.

    2017 Vilner Lamborghini Huracan

    In fact, the steering wheel has received some notable update: it features carbon components, perforated high-quality leather and of a pinch of green. Of course, all is done with a razor-sharp precision. Lucky is the one, who will spend time in this cabin.

And of course, Lamborghini team keeps its high positions in the ranks of Italian premium sport car segment. However, there is one particular model that catches the eye more than many other siblings. And this is indeed the Huracan that has been one of the best, if not the best, selling model for a long time now.

    The vehicle definitely deserves its popularity: as any other Lambo machine, it is reliable, agile, fast and of course, expressive in styling. However, there are many people who are still not satisfied by what the vehicle has to offer. Even from Lamborghini’s most popular model so far. And some of these people decided to see what they can do to make the Huracan even better.

    2016 VOS Performance Lamborghini Huracan

    Indeed, we are talking about VOS Performance team that set new benchmark in the field of premium vehicle tuning with the unveiling of VOS Performance Huracan Spyder. This is a heavily customized version of the vehicle that relies on special carbon-fiber inserts and special interior and exterior tweaks. So, let’s have a closer look, shall we?

    Exterior styling

    2016 VOS Performance Lamborghini Huracan

    VOS team knows how it’s done. Believe us! What impressed us is that engineers and designers have managed to maintain the original menacing expression of the Lambo and at the same time they have contributed to the appearance and functionality with their own styling concept. There are neat additional carbon-fiber spoiler lip between the air intakers, pronounced fixed wing that is named “Pura Vida”, meaning Pure Life, numerous more car inserts and of course, tons of badges and visuals.

Sized 9.0×20 inches in front and 12.5×21 inchs at the rear, these are accompanied by 245/30ZR20 and 325/25ZR21 Michelin or Pirelli tires. Sweet, isn’t it?

    Interior styling

And the most interesting thing is that it is all functional, but in the same time it looks super sexy. Especially with that neat contrasting orange color that follows the exterior pattern to the interior space. We like it. We definitely like it!

    The rest of the story is pretty familiar: we got this classic Lamborghini cabin architecture that is entirely driver-oriented and especially designed to keep driver and passengers in good shape while the adrenaline rush kicks in. Pure pleasure!

    Drivetrain system

    2016 VOS Performance Lamborghini Huracan

The Akrapovic titanium exhaust reduces a total of 20kgs from the overall weight and at the same time boosts the power output with additional 20hp and 22Nm of torque. Furthermore, the intake system now benefits from free-flow filter that not only enhances ram airflow, but also reduces noise.
