The Porsche is really the only one I liked. I like the throw back wheels, but not on the modern cars - especially the Aventador.

I only liked the Ferrari, but thought that someone else may like the others. They are all nice pictures though.

yeah I liked the Ferrari somewhat. Im actually not a big fan of the stock 458 wheels. I'd have to put those Advan's or whatever were in this thread a bit back.

I think the Zonda is one of the few cars that I consider a work of art.

RENM performance have released details of their Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Limited Edition Corsa (LE-C) program.
Currently in development, the tuning program includes the following highlights and features:
• Road/race specification inconel/titanium exhaust system, re-designed air intake, ECU recalibration resulting in a 7-10% increase in engine output;
• Light-weight carbon fiber body sections, revised aerodynamics with adjustable rear wing;
• Suspension and chassis improvements, lower ride height, r-specification tyres;
• Exclusive LE-C light weight center-lock forged wheels;
• Modified brakes with air flow inlets, rear engine cooling chambers;
• Re-designed interior with alcantara/carbon fiber sections, steering wheel, race seats and seat belts.
The LE-C program further develops the ‘corsa’ (race track) capabilities of the LP700-4 while maintaining driveability for street use. A rendering of the LP700-4 LE-C demonstrates how the design lines have been retained while creating a distinctive and aggressive appearance.



In terms of performance, RENM said "Each Aventador LE-C will vary in engine output. For instance, in some markets we can increase engine output through higher grade fuel while having more scope to configure the exhaust systems for maximum performance."RENM's impressively-thorough program also includes lightweight carbon pieces, revised aerodynamics, a lowered suspension and rear engine cooling chambers.Modified brakes with air flow inlets have been equipped and blacked-out exclusive LE-C lightweight center-lock forged wheels give the Lambo some added style.




Commenting on their work, RENM said "The chassis construction and suspension geometry used in the LP700-4 are the cutting-edge of supercar design. We approached the LP700-4 from a perspective of enhancing, rather than radically altering the car's design."The interior has been touched up a bit, with plenty of Alcantara and carbon fiber. A new steering wheel, race seats and belts finish off RENM's project.The RENM Performance Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 LE-C is available for order now. No pricing information has been released as of yet for the German tuner's latest program.

If any of you are Pagani Zonda fans (i.e. like me), I seriously urge you guys to look up the AutoArt 1/18 Zonda R. It's not the cheapest but if there is one diecast model you ever buy, this has to be it.

It is fantastically done. I've own it for awhile now and I still am starting at it all the time. Gorgeous.

Look it up.
