  • PUR Design Lexus LFA – the aggressive beauty

    PUR Design has released their tuning package for one of the fastest cars in the world – Lexus LFA. The hyper car is now even more stunning and aggressive. It comes with complete aerodynamics package, but without any performance mods, which are not needed.

    The LFA is powered by a 4.8 liter naturally aspirated V10 engine equipped with dual VVT-I. It has 560HP (412 kW) at 8700RPM and 480Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque at 6800RPM. The red line is at whopping 9500RPM. The engine has forged aluminum pistons, forged titanium connecting rods, and solid titanium valves.

    The curb weight of the vehicle is just 1 480kg (3 263 lbs), so the performance is sensational. 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph). Power-to-weight ratio is 2,64kg / hp. The more interesting 0-200 km/h discipline is covered in 11.4 seconds and ¼ mile in 11.6 seconds with 201 km/h (125 mph) terminal speed.

    The Nürburgring Package LFA was tested at the Nürburgring in June 2011. Driven by Akira Iida, the LFA set a time of 7:22.85.

  • SR Project Vindicator Puts PUR Wheels on Ferrari FF

    SR Auto Vindicator Ferrari FFWe’ve said this before: putting a set of wheels on a car and doing a photo shoot is not really a project. SR Auto however, maintain that this is their latest project. It’s called the Vindicator and it involves a beautifully white Ferrari FF and… a set of PUR wheels. We are willing to agree that, this being an FF – the first Ferrari ever to feature an AWD system, the wheels do deserve some attention.

    The inspiration for it, SR say, comes from their previous…ehem… project called the Era. The FF here has the same PUR 1NE Monoblock 21-inch wheels in a “Modern Black Finish”. They have a nice 5-double spoked design and provide a good view of the otherwise red brake calipers which is like eye candy to us.

    The Frarri FF has an FM4 layout, that is Front-mid engined/four-wheel driven. For power it uses a 6.3 V12 engine that sends 660 PS and 683 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm through a 7-speed double clutch semi-automatic paddle shift system. The AWD setup in it (which is called 4RM) is around 50% lighter than conventional systems which ensure no typical Ferrari agility is lost along the way.

  • PUR Wheels on Nissan GT-R

    Nissan-GT-R-PUR-thumbNissan GT-Rs have always been a favorite for ambitious tuners. What we see here can only support that theory. It’s a collaboration project between two companies – The American based PUR Wheels company and the Indonesian Premier Autowerkz… apparently. The whole project is rather obscure and not much information is available.

    On what we can focus however, are those 3 piece “4OUR Depth“ PUR wheels they have fitted. Beautifully made 5 double spokes (that’s one way of putting it). It’s as if fragile twigs support the weight of the whole Nissan. The wheel arches are nicely filled in and the gold calipers certainly make a statement – “I like it a bit flashy”. Indeed, if I were to drive around in a car that has such a conspicuous racing strip across the hood, roof and trunk, one must assume that that I like flashy things, no doubt.

    Other than that we can see some fascia work being done at the front and back. Also these exhaust tips do not look very stock. We’ll be on the lookout for more information about this. Otherwise we can play the guessing game all day long.

  • Pur Wheels on a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640

    Pur-6IX-Lamborghini-Murcielago-LP-630-thumbHere’s a Lamborghini Mercielago LP 640. Beautiful isn’t it? Wait! Are you looking at the wheels? Because if you are, PUR Wheels have done their job properly – captivating onlookers with their rose gold concept monoblock wheels titled ’6IX’. Yes, concept wheels are a thing and we are not sure if this is coming out or is it just showing off.

    Either way, one has to admit that they look stunning on this dying breed of V12 hypercars. Here, on this rather static gallery, their five, dobule-spoked design can be seen in it’s full glory. Alternatively, in motion, one can imagine that the Lambo’s 640 hp will render them into blurry swirls of golden magnificence. The body/wheel contrast of the whole thing, can only help the appeal. It’s as if blackberry jam is being smeared on honey crusted Pop-Tarts. Or am I simply hungry?
