Lamborghini Huracan STO driven by Chris Harris

Automotive journalist Chris Harris is one of those car enthusiasts who has driven almost every car model available in the European market, so his opinion on cars should be taken into account. He recently tested a Lamborghini Huracan that didn’t enchant him as he expected. But what about the Huracan STO?

Although he had previously criticized the Lamborghini Huracan, he still decided to drive his latest model, the Huracan STO. However, he did not hide his enthusiasm here, especially with the engine that sounds like a musical instrument. The new Huracan STO is upgraded with titanium roll cage, magnesium wheels, single piece front end made of carbon fiber, which makes the new STO 43 kg lighter than the previous Huracan Performante.

Under the hood is a 5.2 L naturally aspirated V10 engine with 640 hp (470 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox LDF. It is lighter than the Aventador SVJ (1,339 kg), reaching 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). It is mounted on 20 “rims wrapped in 245/30 R20 (front) and 305/30 R20 (rear) Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.

In its category, the Huacan WTO is not that quick. For example, a Porsche GT3 or a McLaren 765 LT cost less and are just as fast. Either way, driving is not numbers. It is about the feelings and connection between the machine and the driver.

At the end of the ride around Silverstone, Harris said that, for him, the Huracan STO is the best Lamborghini ever.

Mercedes-AMG GT R with 891 HP

German company BS Teile Center, which specializes in selling used parts for Mercedes cars, has equipped the Mercedes-AMG GT R with plenty of Pro model parts, but has also increased engine power to an incredible 891 hp.

Due to access to the many AMG components used, the car has got front bumper, fenders, rear fender sills, rear bumper and GT R Pro diffuser. The headlights and taillights were also changed, and the tuner added its name to the lines on both sides of the car. The gold brake calipers of the GT R model were removed and the black ones taken from the GT R Pro model were installed.

The base AMG GT R is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 577 hp (430 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. BS Teile Center has installed new Weistec Engineering W.4 turbochargers, increasing power to 891 hp (655 kW). ARMA carbon suction, Wagner cooler and IPE downpipe with 200-cell sports catalysts are installed. The engine is paired with a painted 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It is mounted on a titanium gray 20-inch rim wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Although it lacks an aerodynamic component the Mercedes-AMG GT R is impressive even for the Black Series. As a reminder, the Black Series is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 720 hp (530 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h).
