We have tremendous respect for tuning firms that are able to make a car like the Lamborghini Aventador that much more amazing. Not many have been able to pull it off, but after Oakley Design’s work on the Ferrari 458 Italia, we knew they’d be one of the few to make it happen. To illustrate just how fantastic this package fits with the Aventador, Oakley Design will only be producing five units, and three of them have already been sold. Focusing on the looks alone, anyone can see the sportier appearance given by the addition of a larger airbox, an intake feed pipe diameter, a titanium exhaust system, and a new set of lighter and wider wheels. Those additions only hint at what’s going on under the hood. Oakley Design worked up the Aventador so that it became 253 lbs lighter than the standard model and, with the help of an ECU remap, 60 HP stronger. The V12 engine now delivers a whopping 760 HP, up from the standard 700 HP. Another impressive feature for this package is that the power will be sent to the rear wheels; no all-wheel drive for this baby. No word yet on how these extra 60 ponies and their delivery will affect the car’s performance, but expect to see a slightly better 0-60 mph time than the 2.9 seconds provided from the factory model. UPDATE 05/20/2012: Oakley Design has unveiled a new set of images for their LP760-2 package based on the Lamborghini Aventador. The images show the 1st unit of only 5 set to be produced. UPDATE 08/06/12: Option Auto has released a couple of videos featuring the Aventador LP760-2 by Oakley Design. In the first video, the French magazine gives out details about the car similar to a brief rundown of what you can expect with it. The second video, on the other hand, is a good ’ol fashion track shakedown. Check out the videos after the jump! Option Auto Gives Its Take On the Aventador LP760-2 by Oakley DesignOption Auto Shakes Down the Aventador LP760-2 by Oakley Design28 comments: Lamborghini LP760-2 Aventador by Oakley Design Aventator has lots of similarities from other Lamborghini models. But I can’t deny the truth that this is truly one awesome car!
Almost there is no difference from the one that designed by Capristo. The shape and edges are almost the same. The only difference is the back lights.
Despite of different color and model concept, this car still amazes me and I think everybody will have a great time driving this car.
This one looks great. With quite different model concept, and the color, you can surely make everybody amazed with this car.
I guess Oakley Design is most efficient on installing – removing components to make its weight lighter. Moreover, the engine modification is not bad.
Weren’t they supposed to make it more fashionable? Anyhow, it’s not neglected. It just deeply focused more on the features.
It’s still surreal to me how Oakley Design has managed to enhance even its performance. I was not surprised by the fact that they could drop its weight though.
Oakley Design is a great help to this car’s more powerful and faster performance! The weight has been reduced, and the ponies have been increased.
