Frank Stephenson Analyzes And Redesigns The New Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4

Posted on by

 

Lamborghini’s decision to launch a Sian-based homage to the iconic Countach was always going to trigger some controversy and according to seasoned automotive designer Frank Stephenson, there are some things the Italian automaker could have done to make the finished product look that much better.

The experienced designer starts his critique of the Countach LPI 800-4 at the front end. He is a big fan of the narrow black slit at the front of the car but isn’t so sure of the headlights. Stephenson says he would have loved to see the car fitted with pop-up headlights but given current-day regulations, that wouldn’t have been possible. However, he does suggest that a set of more angular units could have looked nice.

Stephenson then looks at the side of the car. While he loves its profile, he would have liked to see Lamborghini design the air intake in the more conventional shape of a NACA duct like the one on the original Countach. Stephenson would also redesign the slats behind the side windows and equip the supercar with an active rear wing.

Other changes made to create Stephenson’s perfect Countach homage include a reduced front overhang, tighter wheel arches, a more upright rear-end, and quad tailpipes where the car’s current taillights are positioned. Making up for the lack of traditional taillights would be an LED light bar not dissimilar to the one on the McLaren P1.

Admittedly, these changes don’t really matter to Lamborghini as just days after the car was unveiled, it confirmed that all 112 examples had been sold.

Take A Tour Of The Hardcore Lamborghini Essenza SCV12

Posted on by

The Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is the Italian automaker’s ultimate track-focused hypercar and in this video, the company walks us through some of its most important details.

Built by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse racing division, the Essenza SCV12 is capped at just 40 units worldwide and is similar in philosophy to the XX-branded models from Ferrari. As such, it isn’t street legal and can only be used on the track.

Powering the car is a screaming V12 pumping out 830 hp that’s mated to an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission. Further adding to the appeal of the SCV12 is the fact that it uses a new-generation carbon fiber monocoque to keep the weight down, resulting in a 1.66 PS/kg power-to-weight ratio.

In this clip, Lamborghini discusses all of the innovative features of the Essenza with one of the most intriguing being the steering wheel. From the wheel, drivers can adjust all kinds of modes and play around with things like the ABS, traction control, differential and preload, the clutch, and various engine mapping settings.

The exterior styling of the SCV12 is unlike any other Lamborghini. Key areas of the outside include a hood with two large air vents that separate hot airflow coming from the radiator and funnel cold air to the roof scoop. The limited-run Lamborghini also includes an adjustable rear wing and a huge diffuser.

Finally, buyers of the Essenza SCV12 will receive free storage at a hangar that’s being built at the company’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy.

Watch This 1200 HP Zyrus Lamborghini Huracan Lap The ‘Ring In 6:48

Posted on by

A Lamborghini Huracan modified to 1,200 hp and outfitted with a selection of dramatic aerodynamic components has lapped the Nurburgring in just 6 minutes and 48 seconds, almost matching the 6:47.2 of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

This Huracan has been built by Norwegian company Zyrus and will be capped at just 24 units worldwide, 12 of which will be road-legal while the others will be restricted to track use.

The Norwegian racing outfit has fitted the Huracan’s 5.2-liter V10 with a pair of turbochargers so it now pumps out 1,200 hp. The car also sports a Motec ECU, an Inconel manifold, and a titanium exhaust. It also has an Xtrac racing transmission.

Aerodynamics played a key role in the car’s creation. Consequently, it has an all-new front fascia, new side skirts, flared wheel arches, and a new rear end with a fixed rear wing and a diffuser. These bespoke parts are said to create 1,200 kg (2,645 lbs) of downforce.

While testing out the car at the Nurburgring, the Huracan was fitted with slick Pirelli P Zero tires and was phenomenally quick. Sure, it couldn’t quite match the time of a road-legal Porsche 911 GT2 RS on street tires but the driver did have to deal with some traffic during the lap. In addition, Zyrus says the car was running 900 hp on the day due to the very high track temperatures.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Rocks Gloss Black Vossen Alloys, Novitec Suspension

Posted on by

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is a striking machine straight out of the factory, but a vibrant shade of green and a set of gloss black Vossen alloys help make it even more impressive.

The company’s new wheel set that’s been fitted to this Aventador SVJ is dubbed the S21-01 and measures 9×20 inches at the front and 13×20 inches at the rear.

Taking a closer look on the wheelmaker’s website reveals that the rims start at $2,200 and are available in 48 different shades. As for the sizes, you’re also looking at 19 to 24 inches in diameter, and the set can also be ordered as a 3-piece from $2,600.

To put the spotlight on their latest creation, Vossen has released a short video that shows the Aventador SVJ out in the open. Moreover, this range-topping Aventador also rocks a Novitec suspension, which has been adapted to work with the new rims.

Everything else remains stock, including the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, which puts out 759 HP (770 PS / 566 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque at 6,750 rpm. According to Lamborghini, the Aventador SVJ does the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in just 2.8 seconds and tops out at over 217 mph (350 km/h).

Lamborghini Urus Vs. BMW X6 M Vs. Jeep GC Trackhawk: Which Is The Fastest Of Them All?

Posted on by

If money wasn’t a factor, would you rather own the Lamborghini Urus, Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, or the BMW X6 M? Of course, you would choose the Urus, as no one can resist the lure of a Lamborghini – even if it’s an SUV. However, would the Raging Bull beat the competition into submission when it comes to straight-line performance?

That’s a slightly tougher question to answer, as the video below shows that the trio are very well matched in a straight line.

The clip starts out by showing two different rolling races between the three. On both occasions, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk slowly but surely ekes out a slight lead over the other two. That’s not a big surprise because it has the most power, at 707 HP, thanks to a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 Hellcat engine.

Then we get to some races featuring the three going head-to-head from a launch. The first two races between the Lamborghini Urus and BMW X6 M are extremely close and, despite having a power deficit, the BMW manages to come out on top. That’s quite a surprise, because BMW claims the X6 M’s 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 delivers 592 hp, significantly less than the 641 hp of the Urus.

The final race is between the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and BMW X6 M. Can the Bimmer dispatch the Jeep in the same manner it did with the Lambo? Well, what do you think?
