Lamborghini Huracan Evo with BKSSII wide body kit

DarwinPro Aerodynamics is a tuner company specialized in making luxury supercar body kits, that takes exotic cars to the next level. Their latest project is the Lamborghini Huracan Evo with BKSSII wide body kit.

This ‘wild’ wide body kit brings carbon fiber components including widened wheel arches for better road holding, new side skirts, front fender vents, new lip spoiler, new diffuser, tailpipes, unique bumper with new air intake shape and a more pronounced splitter. The hood has been replaced with a new one with large air vents, something we’ve seen on the STO model, while out back there’s a new wing also in carbon fiber. One might think that the wing on the STO model is a bit too much for a road car, in this case it gives it a whole new experience.

When it comes to the drivetrain, DarwinPro didn’t change anything. Why would it, when the Lamborghini Huracan Evo is more than a super car. Its naturally aspirated 5.2-L V10 engine with 640 hp (470 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque at 6,500 rpm is powerful enough to push the 1,422 kg car to 100 km/h in 2 ,9 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

Customers can choose from several wide body kit options. A body kit made from a combination of carbon and carbon fiber reinforced plastic costs $30,360, a body kit made only from carbon costs $40,089, while the forged carbon option costs $50,111. The most expensive option includes premium autoclaved carbon fiber and costs $60,133.

RML P39 40th Special Edition

RML Group is known for its interesting projects such as converting the Aston Martin Vulcan racer into a road legal car. This year they celebrate their 40th birthday, and on that occasion they presented the P39 40th Special Edition.

The P39 40th Special Edition is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1) modified to resemble the racing 911 GT1 of the 1990s, designed by Tony Hatter and Norbert Singer. We saw something similar in August when RML introduced the P39 Kit.

It’s powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 900 hp (662 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, instead of the 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) that has a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

With adaptive body aerodynamics and a longer wheelbase, in Track mode and at a speed of 250 km/h, the car’s cornering grip is 4.5 times greater than that of the 911 Turbo S. Also, the driver can choose Tour mode, which provides additional ground clearance, and the adaptive suspension is softer and more comfortable. Inside, the rear seats have been removed and a roll cage has been installed.

The company said that the P39 40th Special Edition can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) 0.2 seconds faster than the standard 911 Turbo S, and has a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). Also, they claim that it is 4 seconds faster than the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

RML Group will produce only 10 units of the P39 40th Special Edition and each will cost 578,000 euros. The price does not include the donor Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 based on the Land Rover Defender

Apocalypse Manufacturing is an American company that turns every vehicle into an extreme one, ready to conquer all types of terrain. Their latest project is the Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 based on the Land Rover Defender.

Engineers extended the chassis to add a third axle, or two more wheels, which unlike some other 6×6 conversions, are connected to the drivetrain. The suspension has also been refined and can now be raised and lowered by around 203mm with the simple push of a button. Of course, the conversion wouldn’t be complete without a specially designed set of 20-inch rims wrapped in massive 38-inch tires ready to tackle the toughest off-road trails.

The car is equipped with wide fenders, underbody protection, side steps and rock sliders, and an orange front bumper. Additional LED lights were installed on the roof, roof racks, sports bars on the rear and a spare wheel located in the cargo area.

When it comes to the powertrain, Apocalypse Manufacturing hasn’t changed anything, although it’s obvious that the extreme version is heavier than the standard Land Rover Defender. There is still a supercharged 5.0-L V8 engine with 525 hp (386 kW) and 461 lb-ft (625 Nm) of torque.

The Apocalypse World Ender Land Rover 6×6 costs $374,999, and this car in the photos was built for a customer in Jacksonville, Florida.
