RE: DMC Lamborghini Aventador LP900-4

[Mr Gearchange]

I also like the styling - agree that Lambo's should look borderline ridiculous, and lets face it the Aventador will eventually end up looking like this as stock as we work through the many iterations over the years.

900BHP from a NA engine is hugely impressive. Are they providing a warranty for the work?

Keep the standard wheels and keep the bodykit but paint the car black, that would look good.

Some nice chaps over on Teamspeed have been photoshopping this car with different (non-awful) wheels and different colours, looks much better:

[StottyZr]

Looks pretty good, not overally expensive when you look at the performance increase and the lack of forced induction!

I wish they'd stop painting the wheels the same colour as the body, looks ste. If the wheels were simply black, it would look very nice.

Bloody hell!

900 hp ! - it all sound too good to be true

i for one would like to see the claimed power proved on a dyno

And there I was thinking that it was going to get limited to 66mph and come with it's own personal Doc Hudson.

I see what yout tried to do there.
Unfortunately wrong speed and wrong name.

Ahh yes,

I see my mistake. I doth hang my head in shame and incarcerate myself to the annuls of FailBlog.

In my defence I have a 2 year old who can wake up before I can and operate a DvD player. She also has a penchant for a certain Pixar film.

Looks like a hoover attachment.

You could, I presume, just plump for the 900bhp upgrade and leave the car looking stock.

The ultimate sleeper! Everybody thinks "LOL that's just a poor Aventador, I can beat him at the traffic lights" then BANG! the extra 200hps make them cry like a baby!

[pagani1]

Too much so should do well in Qatar & Dubai with silver foil add-ons

Obviously a chipped 3 series d will have him regardless.

Blatent BS on 900 hp

[Richbaker]

Wouldn't trust anyone to start putting an aero body kit on a car that must now be in excess of 240mph.
We all saw how car manufactures can get it wrong with their experience and test work(Mark Webber flying Merc) so trusting some bespoke operation to have done all that correctly......?

Am I the only one that likes the styling? Those rear wheels look insane, exactly how a lambo should be

+1 - my thoughts exactly!!

[MrGeoff]

I want to see dyno print outs or it didn't happen.

How can you know that? Fresh engine straight from Lambo which hasn't even really seen many applications yet, they'll be at the start of tuning it for production. Easy to imagine that a company can come along, spend another £40k on expensive parts and kick it up a notch.

True, but how much drag will they introduce with their bodywork? Wouldn't surprise me if it was seriously hobbled.

I agree, the mods don't sound like enough on their own to extract 200 extra horsepower from an already highly effecient engine. As mentioned it would have to rev at very high rpm to acheive this which would likely require very light pistons, Ti rods & valves, superlight vavletrain components allround. I can see where the money has gone if they have managed it, but it aint easy and the result will be a car that is likely slower beneath 8000rpm than standard. In the real world the standard car would be much better to drive. Looks awful too, although the photoshop'd effort in white above shows it could look good if done differently.

[M@1975]

i quite like that, terrible colour combo on the presser but its how hypercars should look, McLaren MP412-13-80-74-9-c take note, Hypercar with a mental name that looks mental and pushes the envelope of mental power. Gets the thumbs up from me.

[Ozone]

Needs a couple of turbo's to really give it some go.....

[Hellbound]

If I ever needed a car to go murdering in, this would be it.
