Lamborghini Huracan Evo with BKSSII wide body kit

Leave a comment

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.

5-year-old Zayn Sofuoglu drove a Lamborghini Revuelto at 312 km/h

All big followers of Formula 1 know that most of the best drivers of the “flying circus” started their careers very young, like Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen who are the youngest Formula 1 drivers ever. First, they were karting drivers and then moved to the lower categories of Formula 1 (Formula Three and Formula Two). A five-year-old boy from Turkey, Zayn Sofuoglu, who recently drove a Lamborghini Revuelto, could have the same path.

This is not the first time this little boy has driven a super powerful car. Last year he was behind the wheel of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, with which he showed on the track that he has enormous potential. Of course, the seats and pedals of the Lamborghini Revuelto were adapted to the boy, and his father Kenan Sofuoglu, who is one of the most successful Turkish motorcycle racers, was in the passenger seat.

Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-L L545 naturally aspirated V12 engine combined with an electric motor with a total output of 1,001 hp (746 kW) 783 lb-ft (1,062 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

On an empty track, Zayn Sofuoglu managed to reach a speed of 312 km/h, which is too fast for most adult drivers. It’s obvious that Kenan is a great mentor to his son, and that Zayn is not afraid of adrenaline. The boy is also excellent at skiing and snowboarding.
