Liberty Walk Teams Up with SR Auto for this Insane Lamborghini Aventador

2015 Liberty Walk Lamborghini Aventador is a one-off soupercar which has been crafted by the hands of the specialists at SR Auto Group. Striving to bring you the best, the Canadian experts has just revealed this insane Aventador. Their goal was to create something sleek and refined.

This is why this Lambo isn’t painted in some strange color and in fact it exudes elegance and class. However, the traditional black color was perfectly contrasted by the shiny matte silver PUR LX wheels that come in size of 20×9 at the front and 21×13 at the rear. They also feature polished lip.

The superior performance of the Aventador is supported by new Airrex suspension. Speaking of performance this beautiful black Lamborghini is powered by a V12 engine, which generates no less than 700 horsepower (522 kW) and 690 Nm (511 lb-ft) of torque.

What about the exterior? Of course, this is where the Liberty Walk modifications happened. To go into details, the vehicle received new LW front and rear fender flares, side skirts and GT wing. They look so normal on this Lambo that one might think they have been factory made.

Besides them, the supercar also got LP720 front and rear bumpers, which distinguish it additionally from the rest Aventadors. And if you by chance happen to be in Vancouver this summer, you would probably see it roaming on the streets.

It’s Official: Lamborghini SUV is Planned for 2018

We have just received an official statement from Automobili Lamborghini that a luxury SUV is going to be the third model to join the product line-up. However, we will have to wait three years, because 2018 is when the car will be introduced to the market. And if you remember the Urus concept, which was revealed at Auto China three years ago, then you will also have the idea of what the future SUV would look like. Take a good look at the galleries below to get a fresh impression.

Lamborghini aims not only to expand its product range, but to also substantially increase the production capacity of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese. In addition, Audi is also planning to invest “hundreds of millions of Euros” over the lifecycle of the new SUV.

SEE ALSO: Lamborghini Urus at 2012 Beijing

For this project to happen, several brands are involved: Volkswagen Group with AUDI AG as Lamborghini shareholder, the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, the Italian national agency for inward investments and economic development (Invitalia), Emilia Romagna Region, the Union Representatives and Automobili Lamborghini.

To produce the new vehicle, Lamborghini will also have to increase the factory area in Sant’Agata Bolognese from 80,000 to 150,000 square meters. What is more, there will be built new facilities, like a production line, warehousing and bigger R&D department, where 500 new employees will work.

The targeted markets for the new SUV will be the USA, China, the Middle East, United Kingdom, Germany and Russia. The vehicle is planned to sell 3000 units of the vehicle annually, which actually is two times company’s current sales performance.

Who’s excited, too?

Apocalypse is Near! This Lamborghini Huracan Elysium Offers the Best Escape Option

Have you seen the Elysium movie? It premiered two years ago and made a mass-furor. The film takes us in the future, in 2125, when the Earth is overpopulated and most of the citizens live in complete poverty. On the other hand, the rich and powerful people live in the Elysium. This is a technologically advanced and wealthy place in space, which literally sits in Earth’s orbit.

Basically, the film explores political and sociological themes such as overpopulation, health care, justice and class issues, and is a very good example of what might happen to us in the days ahead. It simply makes you wanting to rethink everything, doesn’t it?

Well, this Lambo above is inspired by the film and it is definitely a car to ride when the apocalypse comes. It pictures what the Huracan would look like in the distant future, and behind it is a very talented studio, called Yasid Design.

I absolutely love how this rendering looks and find the work of the designers intriguing! The supercar looks apocalyptic enough due to its one-off styling features like the bars across the windscreen and front lights and the equipment on the roof. Not to mention the street-like exterior “paint finish”, if I might call it that way.

Helping to escape the apocalypse is the 5.2 liter V10 engine, which produces 610 hp (448 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque. The unit is linked to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system. Of course, this will still allow the Lamborghini to cover the 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint in 3.2 seconds, and the 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds, running after a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

At last, I would really like to know do you like this rendering? In my opinion it is pretty good!

Meet the Flame Throwing Nero Nemesis Lamborghini Aventador [VIDEO]

This Lambo is astounding! Not only because of its exceptional looks, but also because it has received some special performance and visual updates. The specialists responsible for this are those at the Netherlands based company Baan Velgen. Called Nero Nemesis (like an Arch Enemy song, isn’t it) because of its looks, the car has been fitted with HRE styling upgrades as well as Akrapovic exhaust.

First, I must say that the Aventador runs on alloys that were specifically created for its purposeful stance and athletic appearance. These forged wheels come directly from the working place of HRE and are named P101. Colored in Satin Black to match the exterior, they undoubtedly contribute for the impression that this Lamborghini leaves.

The next extra things about this car are the Akrapovic goodies. First, the tuners installed slip-on exhaust and then they continued with the Akrapovic link pipes. They both are responsible for the special look and the special sound of the LP700-4.

Oh, and did I mention that one of the most impressive features of this exhaust is its capability to shoot flames?

What is more, this exhaust also includes the power of the Aventador and also saves around 46% of weight over the standard exhaust. This means that the V12 unit will have the capability of producing more than 700 horsepower (522 kW) and 690 Nm (511 lb-ft) of torque.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this:

Meet this Custom Carbon Lamborghini Huracan by VOS

VOS is an acronym which stands for Vision of Speed. This is the name of the German tuning company, which has just released a special project involving a Lambo Huracan. They have individualized the vehicle and as they said – made it more individual than ever. And of course all is achieved with the help of carbon parts.

To go directly into details, the conversion kit comprises only of carbon fiber elements: front lip, mirror caps and door handles. Well, the new in-house made door sills aren’t from this material but they have been also changed.

In addition, the ergonomic steering wheel is the first choice of substitution for the original one, while there are also facings in fine structure carbon for the original steering wheel. In terms of gearshift paddles, one can choose between new parts in full carbon or add-on parts in fine structure carbon.

The instrument cluster that is made by VOS is also made of the lightweight material. There are also carbon facings for the air inlets, upper frame for the center console in full carbon, lateral frames for the center console, gas cap in full carbon, VOS Performance rear wings and individual carbon plate as well as a facing for the rear diffuser bottom.

VOS is offering not one but two exhaust systems for the Huracan. The first one is in-house made, while the second is by Akrapovic. The ultimate car can also get BMC sports air filter. Adjustable rear wings are still to be added to the list of features as is the new wheel set for the fighting bull.

More details for this project to come soon!

DMC Shows the Creative Process Behind new Huracan Project

Have you ever wonered what happens when a Lambo falls into the hands of premium specialists like DMC, who work exclusively with luxury cars? Well, to make thing simpler, the tuners has done exactly this: they have released a bunch of photos, showing what happens behind the scenes. Well, they only show the installation of the full front lip, but we get the big picture.

Form what we can see from these photos, the next DMC project involves a poisonous green Huracan, which is receiving a new carbon fiber front lip, looking amazing and also including tuner’s badge. What will probably follow is the installation of the new carbon side skirts.

At the rear, the package will add LP610 side skirts, rear diffuser, deck lid and rear spoiler, which are also made from the lightweight material. As a matter of fact, the rear spoiler allows adjustment in different position.

If the owner is lucky, he or she will also get the additional set of F1 flaps. They are positioned on the left and the right side of the full front lip and replace the side flaps. At last, the LP610 will be running on special alloy wheels, too. There are a lot of versions, which the company is considering, but they aren’t announced yet.

Lamborghini Huracans are Ready for the Track!

Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America competitors finally got the high-anticipated Lamborghini Hurácan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo vehicles. The Italian monsters were already delivered on 20th April and teams had already the chance to test them on a 50-minute drive. Both Lamborghini Squada Corse and Super Trofeo made a special technical training session before the official races, that start on 1st of May.

The Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo comes with the monstrous V10 direct-injection engine, that delivers a total of 620 horsepower (455 kW). The body and frame are further upgraded and redesigned, to ensure wonderful cooling and aerodynamic performance. Maybe the biggest change, made onto this Lambo model is the adoption of the rear-wheel drive and the especially made transmission.

Interesting fact is, that this racing season will mark the largest grids in Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America. We will witness the return of some drivers and we will see some yet unknown faces, that will tame the Lambo beasts.

Competitors tested the Huricán on numerous tracks and at the end teams divided into two smaller teams: The first team will be racing with the Huricán itself, while the second team will be driving the well-known and trusthworthy 2013 Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo.

The Gallardo comes with a V10 engine, that provides 570 hp (419 kW) and brings special high-tech units like paddle-shift, E-gear transmission, carbon-fiber aerodynamic pack, a special and adjustable rear wing and more.

This will be an interesting race, because we will witness both brothers, the Huricán and the Gallardo, on the track.

Stay with us for further information!

Vorsteiner’s Lambo Zaragoza Shows-Off with Aero Wing

Vorsteiner is a Californian based tuning company which makes cars more beautiful. It is famous for its not-that-extraordinary love for exclusive and expensive cars. In fact, we have seen so far so many projects, and each of them shows this fantastic Vorsteiner touch. One of my most favorite examples of their work is the Aventador-V Zaragoza.

It seems like this project is evolving with time. Last time we have heard about it, the Lambo received Zaragoza front spoiler made of single piece of carbon fiber. Now it is time for the tuner to add another element, that was somehow missing, and it is the rear aero wing made of the in-house made signature PrePreg carbon fiber.

There are other two elements that make the Lambo stand out: Zaragoza Aventador-V comes also equipped with side skirts and a special rear diffuser. There is no need to say that the chosen material for these parts is the same as for the previous ones.

Furthermore, to make sure that the front spoiler is incorporated adequately, the specialists have extended the lines from the factory bumper in order to flow with the lower, wider, and longer carbon spoiler. This makes the front spoiler to be around 25 mm lower, 25 mm wider, and 200mm longer in comparison to the factory one.

The added vertical blades direct air away from the body, thus decreasing drag and turbulence, but also increasing stability. At last, this Lambo rides on Matte Black Technica Multipiece VTM-350 alloys in the size of 20×9 at the front, and 21×13 at the rear. They are coupled with Pirelli P Zero tyres in the dimensions of 255/30/20 and 355/25/21.

Vorsteiner Shows Custom Huracan Verona Edizione

Lamborghini is a company that always excites us. Rarely there is a person in the world that doesn’t like something about the supercars it produces. Even more exciting is when we see a Lambo getting “dressed up” by a tuner known for the high-quality expertise. This is the case with the Huracan here, since it has been given a special touch by the professionals at Vorsteiner.

The most important fact about this tuning is that this Lambo received a new goose neck wing. It was made of aluminum and painted in a combination of matte silver and matte black. The tuners also added carbon fiber wing blade element and base wing, both in matte and gloss lacquer.

The here presented car is painted in Rosso Mars exterior paint color and sits on in-house made 20 and 21 inch matte black alloys (for the front and the rear respectively). Pirelli P Zero tires are also necessary to complement the new wheels and they come in the dimensions of 245/30/20 up front and 325/25/21 at the rear.

Since Vorsteiner is a company which puts an emphasis on the appearance, the car did not receive any engine treatment. This means that the production 5.2 liter V10 keeps the 610 hp (448 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque.

The engine is linked to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system. Of course, this will still allow it to cover the 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint in 3.2 seconds, and the 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds, running after a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

GMG Racing Releases One-off Huracan [VIDEO]

GMG Racing is a South California based team which is experienced in the tuning of special European vehicles. Their last project features this awesome Lambo, which, as the tuner say, is a supercar that can be driven everyday. Although there aren’t big modifications here, but only subtle ones, we are sure that this car is worth reviewing, given that it really looks stunning.

First, the specialists began with Huracan’s exhaust. They have changed it with in-house made GMG Sport Exhaust, which actually boosts the power of the car with an additional 25 hp. What is more, it is made of lightweight materials, thus improving vehicle’s weight by 50 lbs. It has another benefit of improving the throttle response throughout the entire rev range.

Furthermore, GMG has muted the factory exhaust note to allow the GMG sport exhaust system deliver different sounds. There are actually three performance modes of the engine: Strada, Sport and Corsa.

Other cool features here are the ADV.1 wheels, measuring 20-inches at the front and 21-inches at the rear, the Pirelli P-Zero tires, Vorsteiner’s rear wing and the Novitec lowering spring. Oh, and have you noticed the matte black wrap, which actually makes the car so cool?

You can enjoy this project in the gallery below and don’t miss the video, which will help you get even more impressed by this custom Huracan.

SR Auto Surprises with Aero Package for Lamborghini Aventador

SR Auto Lamborghini Aventador Side View After the very good feedback from the joint project of Liberty Walk and SR Auto Group, the insane Ferrari 458 Spider, the Canadian specialists are now presenting their next intriguing machine. If you have followed their work, then you should know that they have this special relationship with Lamborghini cars. When it comes to tuning them, they simply do their best.

The matte black exterior you see is not a new thing, but it is factory made. However, everything that is shiny and glossy can be attributed to the work of SR Auto that has installed the PUR Aero carbon fiber kit.

Precisely, it adds front lip and side skirts made from the lightweight material as well as rear diffuser. The project does not end with the installation of the kit, but continues with the new race adjustment arms that help bring the Aventador closer to the ground.

Regarding the performance of this beautiful matte Lambo, we only know that it has been given a new valvetronic exhaust system delivered by Innotech Performance. Probably, there isn’t a huge change in the numbers, so this means that the V12 under the hood produces no less than 700 horsepower (522 kW) and 690 Nm (511 lb-ft) of torque.

At last, we can’t just skip the wheels that contrast so prominently. PUR LX04.V3 was the choice for this Lamborghini. The alloys are finished in gloss brilliant silver and feature polished step lip. They come in 21 inches at the front corners and 21 inches at the back. Of course, low profile tires are a must!

Concours d’Elegance Meets Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV

Lamborghini is a brand which deserves all the attention it receives; there is no second thought on that, right? Since, we’ve showed you yesterday the graceful birth of the LP740 it is now time for more news around the Aventador. This time on spot is the LP750-4 SuperVeloce which has debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in the beginning of this month.

The car is obviously ready to conquer North America, because the company announced that it will make its premiere there at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance this weekend. So, if you happen to be somewhere near, it will be a great experience if you visit it.

As we know, the new car is designed to be faster, lighter and more beautiful in terms of design. And so it is. In fact, Lamborghini says that this is the most “emotional” car that it has ever created. There are reasons for this of course, and the first one is the increased engine output.

As the name of the car suggests, the 6.5 liter V12 unit is now capable of the staggering 750 horsepower (552 kW) at 8.400rpm and maximum torque of 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm.

This in turn shortens the acceleration time for the 0-100km/h sprint to just 2.8 seconds. Up until now, only a Bugatti could show-off with this number.

The second reason is the reduced weight. The new Lambo is 110 pounds lighter than its bigger and heavier siblings. The cause of the weight savings is that the technicians and designers decided to remove non-essential items such as the infotainment system, carpets and the soundproofing and front axle lifting system. In addition, there is an extensive use of carbon fiber in the body elements and in the single-piece racing seats.

Just like in Europe, LP 750-4 SV will be exclusively launched in Rosso Bia paint color and will be complemented by a black Alcantara-infused interior. There are no details around the US pricing, but we know that the car is hitting the North American retailers this summer.
