2011 Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2 – Extreme Car

2011 Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2 – Extreme Car

60 horsepower will be added by Oakley Design for the V12 engine‘s output and to trade the all-wheel-drive system for a more dramatic Diablo-reminiscent rear-wheel-drive setup.

Oakley Design estimates the removal of the front differential, drive shafts and associated front drivetrain parts will reduce kerb weight by around 85 kilograms. The tuners believe the Aventador’s advanced suspension design and very stiff full carbon monocoque should be able to handle 760 horsepower with just rear-wheel-drive. Nonetheless, to improve grip, the rear wheels will be wider. The company is also working on developing several suspension upgrade alternatives with Intrax.

2011 Lamborghini Indomable Concept built into Hypercar

Lamborghini Indomable is actually a project developed by Daniel Ochoa and Alberto Fernandez Chinchilla Albilares. A US business known as 215 Racing has purchased the distinctive rights for the style and will have the car built by its subsidiary Mostro Di-Potenza (Italian for “Monster of Power”). The sleek coupe will be renamed to SF22, as being a tribute for the influence that the F22 fighter jet had on the car’s style. Furthermore, SF stands for Street Fighter.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Bicolore

Since 2004, Sant'Agata Bolognese has built and bid a fond farewell to more than 10,000 Lamborghini Gallardos. It is the most successful model in brand history by a long shot. The chiseled sports car, with a menacing 5.2-liter V-10 stuffed mid-belly, always directed its 500-plus horsepower to all four wheels.


But in 2009, things changed when Lamborghini created a rear-wheel-drive LP550-2 Valentino Balboni to celebrate the decades-long career of its most vaunted test driver. Much to the chagrin of super-rich Lambo fans looking to get their hands on one, only 250 examples were created.


This year, things have changed once again. Lamborghini has heeded its well-heeled clientele's wishes for an unlimited edition Balboni, creating a new two-wheel-drive bull capable of fulfilling inner drifter fantasies. It is called the Gallardo LP550-2 Bicolore.

"The Bicolore is more demanding," explained Lamborghini America chief operating officer Wolfgang Hoffmann at a pre-test-drive conference. "The four-wheel-drive customer is different than the two-wheel-drive customer."

Indeed, the latter must be a little mad.

Gripping its Alcantara-wrapped wheel tightly on Turn 4 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I quickly learn that in the 542-horse LP550-2, a rendezvous with a corner demands 24 Hours of Le Mans focus. Get it wrong, and you could send the Bicolore with its 398 pound-feet of torque off into the weeds, or worse, the car could be come a crumpled mess and you immobilized on a stretcher.

Preventing calls to the local medics is always a good thing, so engineers implemented a few upgrades to help you avoid such scenarios. A revised extended nose sucks the car closer to planet Earth and shoves cool air toward the 14-inch, eight-piston brakes. Slightly softer springs and dampers deliver a more civilized ride for daily duty. They also promote stickier grip during the Bicolore's lewd-sounding "Thrust Mode" launches.
