Rayo: Made in collaboration with 7X Design and Envisage Group

The collaboration between Envisage Group and 7X Design resulted in the creation of a super powerful hyper car, the Rayo. The “wild beast” is based on the Lamborghini Huracan and has 1,900 hp.

The redesigned carbon fiber body is different from the standard Huracan. The elongated front end, larger air intakes, larger diffuser, new rear grille and lights are just some of the novelties used on this model.

Envisage CEO Tim Strafford said: “We’re delighted to have played such a key role in 7X Design’s remarkable Rayo. This car is an extremely exciting one-off creation and I am immensely proud of the work of our talented team, who are experts in taking a client’s design and then fully realizing that vision to the highest possible standards.”

The Lamborghini Rayo is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V10 engine with an impressive 1,900 hp (1,416 kW). That’s 1,290 hp more than the standard Lamborghini Huracan. Thanks to a super powerful engine and a redesigned body, the Rayo is able to reach a top speed of 300 mph (482 km / h).

It is not known what the upgrade price of this supercar was. We assume that it was not cheap, and that the owner had to pay a larger amount of money.
