Modified Range Rover

Range Rover is difficult to modify with taste. There are several aftermarket packages that can precisely match the style and elegance of the Range Rover body and enhance it in some way. RDB LA and 1016 Industries have done just that by introducing the Silver Surfer.

The car is covered in satin silver aluminum foil that makes it stand out even next to an exotic supercar. It is equipped with a front lip spoiler, extended sills, more pronounced wheel arches and a redesigned front bumper with a diffuser, a new exhaust system, and a roof spoiler. The price depends on whether the components (made by 1016 Industries) are painted ($28,500), made of carbon ($35,000), or forged carbon ($40,000).

RDB LA, based in Los Angeles, equipped the car with new 26-inch retro rims. Although their size may have a negative impact on comfort, the brushed aluminum finish matches the exterior design perfectly.

“I believe our latest package brings this vehicle to perfection,” said founder and CEO of 1016 Industries Peter Northrop.

Mansory Tempesta based on the Ferrari 296 GTB

Two years ago, Ferrari presented a new hybrid car that has found its place above the F8 Tributo, the Ferrari 296 GTB. A powerful supercar that delivers outstanding performance, but there are always those who feel they can make it better, like tuner Mansory who introduced the Mansory Tempesta based on the Ferrari 296 GTB.

Mansory Tempesta is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 870 hp (640 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power was achieved thanks to ECU modifications and a sport exhaust system with sport cats. As a reminder, the standard 296 GTB has 819 hp (602 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. The Tempesta hits 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0.1 second faster than the 296 GTB. Top speed is the same, 205 mph (330 km/h). Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The aggressive design really suits the Italian supercar. A new forged carbon fiber front fascia, front splitter, forged carbon wings on the front fenders, new side mirrors and dramatic thresholds, impressive rear applications with rear diffusor, spoiler and winglets, are some of the aerodynamic parts that adorn the exterior of this car. It’s mounted on a set of 21″ and 22″ YT.5 fully forged light weight wheels wrapped in 255/30R21 front and 335/25R22 rear tires.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in yellow leather that also covers the door panels, dashboard and center console. There are also new floor mats, additional carbon details and a series of red details around the air vents and cup holders.

Mansory did not reveal the price of the upgrade, but we will have more information soon.

Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracan in a drag race

Rimac Nevera recently set the fastest time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. It is an extremely powerful and fast car that many want to defeat in a one-on-one race. A tuned Lamborghini Huracan tried that too in a drag race organized by the Carwow team.

Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds with the title of EV with the highest verified top speed of 256 (412 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante with 7k miles for sale

The Lamborghini Huracan is a project of British tuner company JM Imports, powered by an improved 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine with 1,800 hp (1,324 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque. The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.
