Lamborghini Aventador LP760


LP760-2, the model is a rear-wheel drive supercar that has been stripped of its front differential and related components. Thanks to this change, Oakley estimates the car will lose approximately 85 kilograms (187 pounds).
Besides the strict diet, the 6.5-liter V12 engine has been equipped with an optimized ECU. Official specifications haven't been announced, but the company is targeting an output of 760 hp (567 kW / 771 PS) and 745 Nm (550 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 70 hp (52 kW / 71 PS) and 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).

On the styling front, the car will be distinguished by modified bumpers, revised side skirts, and a new rear diffuser. Other highlights include a carbon fiber roof and lightweight alloy wheels with Pirelli PZero tires.
No word on pricing, but production will be limited to five units and three have already been sold.

Lamborghini Estoque


We also root hard for the little shops in and around Turin that changed the world of car design in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and nobly carry on today as best they can.
We were recently going through various photos and started juxtaposing the front end of the Lamborghini Estoque sedan concept seen at the 2008 Paris Motor Show with that of the one-off SVS Codatronca Turismo Sportivo (or TS). The latter was developed near Turin between 2005 and 2008 by the small shop named SpadaConcept SpadaVettureSport, led by legendary designer Ercole Spada and his son Paolo. The latter carrozzeria just unveiled their roofless 710-horsepower barchetta version at the Top Marques Monaco show, called the Codatronca Monza. All Codatronca models so far are based on a supercharged Corvette Z06 chassis (it makes sense that we also see a little bit of 1967-1982 C3 in there, too).We're not insinuating anything here, and these sorts of coincidences do happen fairly easily. But the likeness is uncanny. Who's doin' who?
