Wheelsandmore: Rabbioso (based on Lamborghini Aventador) news

Press release...

The successor of the legendary Murcielago sets new standards in the segment of super sports cars and Lamborghini unbridled the Aventador for the boulevards and racetracks of the world. Since the lead time is already more than a year before delivery, the solvent matador got enough time to sort out the exclusive group of luxury tuners and their offfers. Wheelsandmore from Baesweiler in Germnay has been made in this segment for years and earned a name and therefore does´nt stop at Lamborghini´s sharpest weapon.

Serial 700hp and 690nm torque are pulling at the 4 drive shafts of the V12 monster and provide a top speed of 350 km/h. After only 2.9s the sprint from a standstill up to 100 km/h is a thing of the past. Since power can´t be a sin, Wheelsandmore developed a software upgrade, which has been adapted to the higher throughput of the valve-controlled exhaust system and a special carbon fibre airbox. Moderate but effectively the luxury tuner increases the overall performance up to stable 777hp at additionaly 60nm of torque.

Visually, the ultralight forged 3-piece wheel model 6Sporz² convinced again and clings to the front axle in 10,0x20" with 255/30/20 and on the rear axle in brute 12.5x21" with 355/25/21 tires from Pirelli perfectly to the body the Lambo. The outside rims are wearing the same new mocha-brown color as the whole Aventador and the weight optimized centers are finished in elegant matte black.

An exclusive program with selected carbon components is currently under development and will complete the portfolio of the Aventador refinement.

I don't think there is one bad angle on this car.

I'd never thought I would love a brown Lamborghini, but this is absolutely gorgeous.

Brown really is becoming a good color for many cars now.
Saw a brown Maserati Granturismo a while ago and it REALLY worked

Do "shapes" cost money inherently and of themselves? I thought you can mold material into any shape you like, the only cost is the amount of material. So why, 20 years on, doesn't the Camry or Civic look liek dis? Just mold the body like this. It is the future, all cars should be like the future--- like this one.

Erm, I think what makes the Aventador so "fresh" is because it is rare. You do not see it every day.

One could argue that there are plenty of gorgeous-looking "affordable" cars in the market with nice shapes. The CTS-V comes to mind. Audi A5/S5 comes to mind. I could keep going.

Everyday cars have to be practical, and the most practical shape is a box. If you want a car to look sexy you have to get creative and lose some practicality too.

And yeah...good point on practicality. Lambo doors don't really work for everyday cars. Still, if the guy's talking about nice shapes and lines, there are everyday cars out there that have what he's kinda asking for.

Dear Lord! What a SICK masterpiece of art & machinery. The Aventador is just a beast! Next time I go to Exotics Racing in Vegas...I'm driving one! I have to say that the 458 is still my absolute favorite supercar though...and pushing the limits on a track with that car was an unforgettable experience!

Good question about design. Does form follow function? Are mainstream cars fairly plain to avoid becoming dated or polarizing?

I wouldn't think stamping sheet metal would be that much more expensive one way or the other but I really dont know. I feel like in the US, marketing determines design more than style.

Carbon fiber on the other hand .... Definitely would be.
