Lamborghini Aventador LP700 – Automobiles Review

Dodge Viper GTS Heffner Performance Drag Racing [VIDEO]

Heffner-Dodge-Viper-GTS-shadow Heffner-Dodge-Viper-GTS-medium Did you start the day today and think “I want to watch a video of a 650 hp Dodge Viper GTS taking on – with various success – some of the established names in a head-to-head drag race”? Weirdly specific, but luckily, here’s one. It’s a Viper GTS which has been touched up by the turbo maniacs, Heffner Performance. The final product shows off 650 hp and a hell of a voice.

Let us break down the video for you. We get to see some close up, off-the-line action of the GTS as it gives a Nissan R35 GT-R a run for its money. Then there’s another round, but this time the foe is an Aston Martin Vantage. We get no closure in either cases because the clip quickly cuts after the initial “go”. All pays off, however, as we get to see a full GTS vs Aventador LP700 showdown. Great start on part of the Viper, but eventually the Lambo becomes too much to handle and the former falls short of victory. Eventually, we get another R35 GT-R competitor (or the same one). Again a great start for the Viper and this time it manages to keep the pole position throughout the race, although it was evident that the Nissan was starting to catch up.

Regardless, drag races are all about acceleration delivered at the right time. Oh, and they are also about the noise, and the smell of rubber… and demolished clutch disks.

DMC Lamborghini Aventador LP700 DIECI In Kuwait

German Luxury Refiner DMC is probably the best tuning company that is specialized in the modification of Lamborghini supercars. The present project once again shows the premium craftsmanship that the team delivers.

The brand have sold so far 50 Aventador tuning kits on average, and now shows something more special – the Special Edition LP700 DIECI. The latter word is an Italian one and means ten. It is not a random name as one might guess.

The 10th DMC LP700 Kit will receive a special extra. To be more precise, the first car to receive the treatment was one of a lucky customer from Kuwait. The tuners created a styling kit that stays in line with the original design.

The front fascia of this Aventador includes a redesigned spoiler sword and a stunning front-splitter lip. Of course, these elements were all made of pure carbon fiber. In addition, the new side skirt diffusers enhance the overall aerodynamics as well as bring about more stability on the road.

At the rear, one can see a lightened carbon fiber diffusor and an added tunnel system. Both items serve in means of improving the down force on the rear axle. They are additionally complemented by a rear wing spoiler that supports the aerodynamics.

In terms of performance, DMC decided to use 12 unique single intake throttle plates, one per each cylinder. Gasoline pumps and – lines, as well as pressure modulators and injection nozzles were replaced also by new components.

An optimization of engine’s electronics, an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring will also contribute for the rebranding of the engine to LP900. The power-mod is supported by a brand new Titanium Exhaust system.

Mansory Carbonado based on Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Mansory will exhibit another interesting sports car at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. They will present a tuned Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The name of the project is Carbonado and you can see why? Carbon fibre everywhere the eye can see.

The exterior boasts MANSORY aerodynamic package including a striking front skirt with optimised air intakes for improved ventilation of the front radiator. There is also a new front lip spoiler and the proprietary developed daytime running lights, a front wing as well as a new bonnet.

The sides have grown by 40 mm on the front and by a remarkable 50 mm on the rear axle in width. Newly designed side skirts are also fitted. These steady the air flow between the axles and feed additional cooling air into the drive unit and the rear braking system through integrated routing channels.

The diffuser built into the new rear spoiler stabilises the rear at high speeds and creates surface contact pressure together with the enlarged rear wing on the rear axle.

The 6.5 liter V12 engine received two turbochargers and the result is sensational. The car now has 1250HP (920 kW). 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 380 km/h (236 mph).

In order to get some traction, the car has 9.0J x 20” front wheels and 13.0J x 21” rears with Pirelli P ZERO tyres in VA 255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21 sizes, respectively.

The Lamborghini refinement program finds a perfect fulfilment in the extensiveinterior applications. Naturally only the finest of materials are used. The processed leather used for the seats as well as the dashboard is particularly durable yet still extraordinarily soft.

To accent the character of the CARBONADO interior even more non-slip aluminium pedals as well as genuine carbon fibre components are us ed on the doors, the fittingsand the centre console. The newly positioned starter button presents one of the technical highlights of the interior. In the style of an aircraft cockpit switch Mansory has relocated this red switch from the centre console to the roof lining.
