Oakley Design Previews the Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2

The Torque Report
Oakley Design is most known for its tweaked Ferrari and Porsche models, like the Ferrari 458 and Porsche GT3. The design firm has just released a preview of its modified Lamborghini Aventador, the Aventador LP760-2.

The Aventador LP760-2 features an awesome 760 horsepower engine that gets around 10% more power thanks to a retuned ECU and a modified exhaust system. That power isn't put to the ground via an all-wheel-drive system, like the standard Aventador. Instead all of that power is sent to the rear wheels. The deletion of the AWD system does save some weight. The modified titanium exhaust system and lightweight alloy wheels also help shave off some of the extra pounds.

Production is limited to only five units and it looks like three have already been sold...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Ya, I had to wonder about that. I found this amusing:
We retain the factory 255/35ZR19 front and 355/30ZR20 Pirelli PZero tyres, but increase wheel width from 9.0J to 9.5 inch in front, and from 12.0J to 13.0J at the rear. This gives the car a wider footprint, and endows the rear wheels with more mechanical grip in 'corsa' mode.
So going up 1" in the rear is going to enable that car to handle all that power? Ya right...

I started laughing after this and forgot to read the rest.

Increasing wheel width only increases section width, not tread width. Unless you're rolling on your sidewalls (!!autocrossers unite!!), this makes ZERO difference in putting power down. it might square up the shoulder a bit for maintaining roll characteristics under load, but that's it.

Duh, I totally spaced on the fact that they were keeping the same size tires... and I even quoted it! Hrumph.
