Lamborghini Urus upgraded by Mansory and MTM

This is not the first time that German tuning companies Mansory and MTM have joined forces on a joint project. As a basis for their latest creation, they used the Lamborghini Urus, which is responsible for the better financial situation of the famous Italian company.

The Mansory equipment kit brings a slightly smaller diffuser with a centrally placed triple exhaust system and larger air intakes. What sets Urus apart from similar creations is the 4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 1,001 hp (736 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. Interestingly, the Bugatti Veyron has the same number of horsepower. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a modified 8-speed automatic transmission.

As a reminder, the standard Urus develops 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, and reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h).

There is no performance data for the upgraded Urus, but there is no doubt that it will be much better than the performance of the basic Lamborghini Urus.

Bugatti Chiron reached 257 mph on the Autobahn

In 2015, Radim Passer reached a speed of 250 mph (402.5 km / h) while driving a Bugatti Veyron on the German Autobahn. That means he covered a distance of 111 meters every second. Now, six years later, he has decided to do the same but now with the Bugatti Chiron.

Before attempting to set a new record, the car was handed over for a detailed inspection at the Bugatti plant in Molsheim. Safety was a priority, so he decided to break the speed record early in the morning on the Autobahn A2. The section of the A2 was a 3 lane, 10 km straightaway with a light descent in the middle, so there was visibility along the whole stretch.

At 4:50 AM, when there was no traffic, he got out on the Autobahn A2. Deactivating the speed limiter meant that the Chiron could go faster than 237 mph (381 kph). Entering the Autobahn, he pressed the speed pedal and reached a top speed of 257 mph (414 kph). After that, he celebrated the success with his friends, and thanked God that everything went safely.
