    2019 Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Urus Tuning - Side

    With 650 horsepower and 850Nm of torque the Urus ranged at the top of all SUV power cars until the Bentayga Speed was launched. Wheelsandmore lifts the Urus back again up to the pole position of this segment and offers 3 different upgrades, which makes a visit to the tuner from the Rhineland not necessary because all components can be installed without costly conversions to the car. All upgrades can be implemented either with an easy to install additional control unit or by remapping the ecu. In Stage 1 the tuner achieves a massive performance boost of additional 125hp and 100Nm of torque. By using 200 cell sport catalytic converters the engine power is increased with another 15hp / 15Nm in stage 2. If the catalysts are exchanged with replacement pipes the power grows to finally 808hp and 972Nm in stage 3. With prices between 2.521 – 5.469 EURO there is certainly still budget available for a throughput-optimized flap exhaust system. The exhaust system for the price of 4.029 EURO.

    Like many other manufacturers of sporty vehicles, VAG subsidiary Lamborghini has realized that many customers now want to have the largest possible wheels for an ideal appearance of their vehicle and that those can live with a slight loss of comfort. After in the year 2018 the Urus was available only with maximum 22-inch wheels, it´s offered since 2019 optionally with 23-inch wheels. Therefore, the challenge for the tuner is not only to develop the gear train dimensionally, but also visually appealing than the manufacturer. Wheelsandmore mounted the Continental UHP tires in sizes 295/35/23 and 335/30/23 on forged rims measuring 10.5×23 and 12.0×23 inches to accommodate the original body perfectly without additional parts.

    The complete wheel set with TPMS is offered at the price of 9.999 EURO.

    With the aid of a plug-and-play module that is easy to install, the driver has the option of setting the chassis height to the millimeter with the help of a smartphone APP. The suspension tuning module, which has already been successfully used in the Audi Q7, can be rewarded with EUR 1.679 at the luxury tuner.

  • Lightning bolt…EV driving experiences overtake petrol supercars with faster acceleration a major draw

    EV driving1

    Shows that electric vehicle (EV) driving experiences are gradually overtaking their petrol supercar equivalents in popularity, with faster acceleration a major draw.

    It also follows news that the fastest accelerating car on the planet has just arrived, with the first customer deliveries of the Aspark electric hypercar, which has managed to hit 60 mph in just 1.72 seconds.

    Meanwhile, the latest TrackDays.co.uk data shows the inexorable rise of the superfast accelerating EVs on the track for a driving experience, with bookings for these models outpacing conventional supercars such as Ferrari’s, Lamborghinis, Porsches and Aston Martins.

    Indeed, bookings for its fastest accelerating EV, the Tesla Model S ‘Ludicrous’ P90D, have grown by around 10% over the last three months alone.

    It can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in a mere 2.6 seconds, compared to other supercars it has available to drive, such as the Ferrari 458 Italia in 3.3 seconds, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder in 4.2 seconds, Porsche GT3 RS in 4.1 seconds and Aston Martin V8 Vantage in 4.8 seconds.

    Dan Jones, operations manager at TrackDays.co.uk, commented: “Whether it’s on the road or on the track, there’s no stopping the EV charge.

    “The lightning quick acceleration is a major draw, and quite often it takes people by surprise. No wonder, given the Tesla can reach 60 mph in a fraction over 2.5 seconds.

    “Obviously, on the road there are legal driving and speed restrictions, but by enjoying a driving experience on a track, then it is possible to witness first-hand the real thrill and potential of these lightning quick EVs in a safe environment.”

    Youngsters also have the chance to drive a BMW i8, a turbocharged hybrid that is quicker from 0 to 60 than some M3s, and bookings for these have also risen by 20% over the last three months.

  • A record September for Automobili Lamborghini

    Lamborghini1

    Automobili Lamborghini has achieved a record of September in terms of commercial results with 738 units delivered to customers in one month: its best September ever. A consistently positive trend over the last three months resulted in 2,083 units delivered to customers in the third quarter of 2020, illustrating the energy with which Lamborghini responded to a period of new challenges.

    Despite a difficult year marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, Lamborghini has adopted opportunities to reorganize and manage a business in the context of a new ‘normal’. Although the company was the first in the automotive sector to close production and offices, putting people safety first, a dynamic return to business following the seven weeks’ closure saw a rethinking of its medium-term business strategies.

    The reopening saw the launch of three new models: the Huracan RWD Spyder, the Sián Roadster, and the Essenza SCV12. The Italian super sports car company achieved important production milestones with 10,000 Urus and Aventador produced, as well as continuous growth on social media channels and the launch of a cultural project to support the country: With Italy, For Italy.
