Lamborghini Huracan by Print Tech

Print Tech Lamborghini Huracan is wrapped in a special Centurion Black Chrome foil. The complete car wrapping is a result of the work of the specialists at Munich Print Tech company. What happened with a Lamborghini Huracan is that it got an absolutely professional application of complete wrapping type „Centurion Black Chrome”. And as you can see the bolide has experienced a marvelous metamorphosis that has given this Lambo the ability to shine in a really other light.

There are many benefits of this technique. The first one is of course protection, the second is the fact that the car can be transformed into its original state without any problems and at any time. And at last, but not least – even the most eccentric color attracts envious glances.

No other modifications have been made to this vehicle, so it keeps its production characteristics. To remind you, the 2014 Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 is driven by a 5.2 liter V10 engine, which produces 610 horsepower (448 kW) and 560Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque.

This allows the Huracan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The model also has an engine start/stop system that ensures an average fuel consumption of 12.5 L/100km (18.8 mpg US / 22.5 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions of 290 g/km. The engine is connected to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system.

Vortsteiner’s Program for Lamborghini Huracan

Vorsteiner is adding to its Nero program the new Lamborghini Huracán. Just like they have done with their Aventador, the Californian-based tuners will be designing, testing and fabricating many wheel and aero components, which were specifically created for the Huracán platform. The first pictures are at hand and we promise you that they are worth viewing!

First, look at the wheels. In the case of this hot red Lamborghini, it runs on 20 and 21 inch special edition VSE-003 forged wheels wheel combination specifically tailored to maximize both inner and outer clearances. What is more, the choice of Vorsteiner to add 20 inch at the front and 21 inch at the rear was to appropriately suit the radius of the Lamborghini fenders. The wheels come in Matte Black finish and are fitted with Pirelli P Zero in the dimensions of 245/30/20 and 325/25/21 at the front and rear, respectively.

Next, the company is famous for its spectacular aerodynamic components. The tuners are currently working on many cutting edge aerodynamic enhancements which will additionally improve the nearly perfected design as seen in the rendering below.

This Rosso Mars Huracán is the perfect example of what stands behind the philosophy of Vorsteiner. What drives the company is the pursuit of unique creations, to be the forefront of innovation and art. More details about this exciting project are coming soon.

Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 is a Hybrid with 910 Horsepower

At the 2014 Paris Mondial de l’Automobile Lamborghini has unveiled its first plug-in hybrid (PHEV): the Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4. Asterion defines a solution to significantly reducing CO2 emissions through technologies available today. In addition, it also offers the unique Lamborghini driving feel with superior power. The car has a pure electric range of 50 km.

Asterion LPI 910-4 returns a 4,12 l/100 km fuel consumption on the combined cycle (NEDC) with exceptional CO2 emissions of 98 g/km. The car’s engine, the V10 5.2 liter FSI one, is based on a monocoque made entirely of carbon fibre. The unit is located longitudinally as a mid-engine and is coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, located behind the engine at the rear transaxle. The lithium battery is placed in the central tunnel area.

The hybrid architecture of the model is achieved via an electric motor which includes an integrated starter motor and generator (ISG), placed between the V10 engine and the double clutch gearbox. There are also two electric motors at the front axle fed by the ISG power with a torque vectoring function. The system allows the car two driving modes: a hybrid and pure electric drive mode.

V10 5.2 l mid-engine can generate up to 610 horsepower (449 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of maximum torque. The three electric motors add further 300 hp (220 kW), which means the total hybrid power is achievable to a maximum of 910 hp (669 kW). The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h happens in only 3.0 seconds. The top hybrid/combined speed is 320 km/h.

The exterior of the car is decided in Blue Elektra glittered colour. The Asterion has clearly defined lines, the front end is produced as a single component, giving the Asterion a dynamic look, while the headlights are realized in materials such as forged carbon and titanium.

At the rear, we immediately see the remarkable rear lights, including a grid covering two radiators, and a clear separation between body colour and black parts. A transparent engine cover is comprised of three hexagonal glasses that turn according to the engine driving mode: pure electric, hybrid power or pure thermal engine power. The vehicle runs on Pirelli tyres fitted with 20″ and 21″ rims in carbon components.

Inside, the minimal contemporary interior of the Asterion reflects the exterior design. The two seats are positioned higher than those in Lamborghini super sports cars. They are wrapped in Extensive Bianco Celaeno (ivory) and Marrone Attis (brown) leather. Materials such as aluminium and forged carbon fibre, as well as titanium are also visible inside.

Asterion’s steering wheel includes three buttons from which the driver selects his engine driving mode: Zero – for zero emissions/full electric; I for ‘Ibrido’ (hybrid); and T for ‘Termico (thermal) power. The portable tablet helps in managing the climate control and other functions including GPS and in-car infotainment.

And if you wonder why this model is dubbed with this name, well Lamborghini says that LP stands for ‘longitudinale posteriore’, which is the position of the conventional engine, I stands for ‘ibrido’, 910 for the system power and 4 for the permanent 4WD system. In addition, the vehicle is inspired by the Asterion – the name of the mythical Minotaur, a hybrid figure and symbolic cross-breed.

Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 – 0-300 km/h [video]

Usually, the real life performance data of the cars and officially stated by the manufacturers are slightly different. In many cases, the official numbers are very optimistic, but in several months we notice other case. For example, the new BMW M3 and M4 are announced with 431HP (317 kW), but on dyno run, the engine developed whopping 480HP (353 kW).

Still, there is no official dynorun for our new favorite supercar – 2014 Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4, but here are some real life performance data:

0-100 km/h — 3.3 seconds

0-200 km/h — 9.6 seconds

0-300 km/h — 22 seconds

1/4 mile — 11.0 seconds

1 km — 20.0 seconds

Officially, the Huracan LP610-4 is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 – 610HP (448 kW) and 560Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

As we can see, the 0-100 km/h time is pretty accurate, but the car appears to be a lot faster to 200 km/h than stated. Of course, this can only make happy petrol heads and potential Huracan owners.

Enjoy!

Vorsteiner Lamborghini Aventador-V Zaragoza

Vorsteiner Lamborghini Aventador-V Zaragoza is the newest creation of the Californian based tuners. They have been working on it for the past months and now show their project with exclusive and beautiful photo-session. The latest addition to the Aventador-V program is the Zaragoza front spoiler. The customizers reveal that it was a particularly difficult to create it, because it is constructed to fit with the existing OE front bumper in a single piece of carbon fiber.

To ensure this spoiler is incorporated and unified with the distinctive Aventador character, Vorsteiner has extended lines from the factory bumper in order to flow with the lower, wider, and longer carbon spoiler. To go further into details, the Zaragoza front spoiler is approximately 25 mm lower, 25 mm wider, and 200mm longer when one compares it to the factory front bumper.

There are also added vertical blades which direct air away from the body. This results in decreased drag and turbulence and also significantly optimizes downforce and increases the stability of the front end at high speeds by directing the air away reducing frontal pressure. Aventador-V gets not only the Zaragoza, but also – an active aero wing, side blades and rear diffuser as well as OE Exterior Carbon Package.

This particular Lambo shown in the pictures below runs on Technica Multipiece VTM-350 Forged Wheels in Matte Black finish. The wheels come in sizes 20×9 at the front, and 21×13 at the rear. They are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres in the dimensions of 255/30/20 and 355/25/21 at the front and rear, respectively.
