2024 Lamborghini SC63 LMDh

In September 2022, Lamborghini announced that it was developing its LMDh endurance racing car. The car will compete in the IMSA Endurance Cup and the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 2024 season. Now, the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh has premiered at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Several companies participated in the development of the car: electric motor (Bosch Motorsport), power management and energy storage (Williams Advanced Engineering), seven-speed P1359 hybrid gearbox (Xtrac), carbon fiber elements (HP Composites).

“We will be measuring ourselves against the very best, on the most demanding proving grounds. On one hand, this will give our successful motorsports program even more visibility, but it will also allow us to test future technologies. Our LMDh prototypes will become our most sophisticated open laboratory on four wheels,” Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann said last year.

The car will be powered by a 3.8L twin-turbo V8 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 680 hp/500 kW (FIA regulations). It will reach a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

Lamborghini will have two LMDh prototypes on tracks around the world next season. One will compete in the World Endurance Championship, the other in the similarly conceived IMSA Championship, and both will be in the colors of the Iron Lynk team.

Lamborghini Diablo Restomod

Among the number of existing tuner and restomod companies, another one, Eccentrica Cars, was recently founded. The main goal of the company is the restoration and modification of exotic cars, especially Lamborghini Diablo cars.

The company’s first project is based on the Lamborghini Diablo, a car that arrived on the market at the end of the last century. It was produced until 2001, and 2,884 units left the production line.

The restoration included the installation of lighter carbon components in place of the original panels. New lights, tires, brakes, suspension elements and a newly developed exhaust system were installed, and the tubular steel chassis was significantly strengthened. All this in order to adapt the car to the new era. Colombini revealed that in the Diablo restomod project they relied on the best components offered by Pirelli, Brembo, Capristo, Marantz and Alcantara.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard Lamborghini Diablo is powered by a 5.7 L V12 engine with 485 hp (362 kW) and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. The company did not reveal whether the engine was reworked, but it said that power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed instead of a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Whether we will see better restomod cars in the future, because obviously there are still those who yearn for older models of super cars, remains to be seen.

Lamborghini Centenario tractor

It’s been 107 years since the founder of Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini, was born. He was an Italian automobile designer, inventor, industrialist, and businessman who founded Lamborghini Trattori in 1948 and Lamborghini in 1963. Celebrating his 100th birthday, in 2016 Adler Capelli created a specially designed Lamborghini Centenario tractor.

All Lamborghini lovers know that Ferruccio produced tractors before he started producing high-end supercars. That was the inspiration for Capelli who, using car parts from the 1960s, created this unique vehicle.

There are few details about the tractor shown in the photos, but it is known that it is powered by a diesel 2.2-liter three-cylinder DLA 35 engine paired with a manual transmission, and that the odometer shows 500 kilometers.

The tractor is not painted and the reason for this is the artist’s intention that, over time, the tractor gets patina.

Capelli created five vehicles and the price of the Lamborghini Centenario tractor, shown in the picture, is 490,000 EUR. As a reminder, the Centenario from 2016 cost €1.75 million EUR.
