Lamborghini Aventador LP900 by DMC

Revealed for the first time back in March, the Lamborghini Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce by DMC brings not only visual changes to the Italian supercar but also a healthy power boost from the regular 700 HP (514 kW) to 900 HP (660 kW). On the design front, we notice the new look of the front spoiler and splitter lip that are mounted on the stock bumper and are manufactured from carbon fiber. The aerodynamic stability has been improved thanks to the new side skirts which DMC says that they act as diffusers. In addition, downforce has also been further improved by the carbon fiber rear diffuser and the added tunnel system, along with the rear wing spoiler. The changes do not end here as the engineers at DMC have decided to replace the overhead throttle valves with 12 custom single-intake throttle plates (one for each cylinder). The pressure modulators, injection nozzles, fuel lines and fuel pumps are some of the components that have been replaced by the tuner. While the stock exhaust system of the Lamborghini Aventador tips the scales at 34 kg, the new one weighs only 3.4 kg. The price tag for all these upgrades is 125,000 Euros (approximately $165,000). All parts are already on sale.

Mansory Carbonado based on Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Building upon the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 tuning package that was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, Mansory has released preliminary images and details for a new version that incorporates even wider usuage of the lightweight material carbon fiber. Named the Mansory Carbonado, but also referred to as the "Black Diamond" model, only six examples will be made.
In standard form the Aventador LP700-4 already uses carbon fiber extensively, but Mansory has replaced almost every exterior panel with the strong composite material showcasing its natural carbon fiber weave pattern. Carbon fiber body components are now found in the front bumper fascia, front lip spoiler, front fenders, hood, side sills, quarter panels, rear apron with integrated diffuser and large rear wing. Mansory also exchanged the roof and engine compartment covers with carbon fiber versions. As a result of the new fenders and quarter panels, the width has grown by 40 millimeters on the front axle and 50 millimeters on the rear axle.
For performance Mansory optimized the engine-management and added a high-performance exhaust system, providing 754 PS (555 kW / 743 bhp) at 8,300 rpm and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) compared to the standard 700 PS (515 kW / 690 bhp) at 8,250 rpm and 690 Nm (510 lb-ft). The 12-cylinder accelerates the Aventador from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The top speed is also raised to 355 km/h (221 mph).
Mansory has put a lot of effort into the ultra-light forged rims with carbon-fiber inlays. They measure front to rear 9.0 x 20 and 13.0 x 21 with tires in the sizes VA 255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21.
Interior is given the special leather treatment on the seats and dashboard, a newly designed airbag sports steering wheel made out of real carbon fiber and non-slip aluminum pedals.

DMC Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce tuning kit

Following initial images released a few weeks ago, DMC has released pricing and details for its new styling package, dubbed LP900 Molto Veloce, for the Lamborghini Aventador.
The German tuner specializing in Italian sports cars has given a mind numbing price of 125,000 euros (~$165,000) for their complete Aventator tuning package. However, broken down into their separate kits the pricing may seem a bit more palatable for some.
"The Molto Veloce aims at Aventador owners that seek to add a little more exclusivity to their LP700," says Thorsten Grebers, Marketing Manager at DMC Germany. "The LP900 engine upgrade clearly targets speed enthusiasts."
The least expensive kits are the new interior which costs 17,700 euros and the ADV1 wheel package which starts at EUR 7.800.
Next is the body kit which costs 19,500 euros and consists of a front fascia, lower lip spoiler and splitter, side skirts, rear wing spoiler and rear fascia with diffuser. All components are made of carbon fiber.
The meat and potatos are found under the hood, accounting for a head banging 80,000 euros. DMC has given the 6.5-liter V12 a complete valvetrain rebuild with 12 unique single intake throttle plates, new fuel pump and lines as well as pressure modulators and new injector nozzles. Also, the optimized engine electronics in addition to an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring system has allowed DMC to rebrand the vehicle as the LP900 suggesting power output is now 900 HP (887 bhp / 662 kW) compared to its standard 700 PS (690 bhp / 515 kW).
DMC recommends clients fly their LP700 to the company's workshop in Germany or Switzerland for the engine modifications, but body components can be installed by one of DMC's global dealers.
