No, this isn't a Transformer you're looking at. This is the latest piece of supercar->ke177 work coming from the mental minds of DMC. The German supercar tuner isn't done making hellacious programs for the Lamborghini Aventador->ke3624. At some point, you wonder if there's any limit to the company's imagination.

This new program, dubbed the LP988 "Edizione-GT", follows in the footsteps of the Molto Veloce and Spezial Version packages. Only its not so much as "following in the footsteps" as it is taking it to an entirely new level.

In other words, this is the STAGE3 program, and surely, it lives up to its billing with an incredible tuning->ke1987 kit that comprises of a migraine-inducing body kit and engine upgrade combination.

This is the kind of program that isn't easy to make, let alone easy to buy. According to DMC, simply showing up with a big, fat check isn't going to make you a proud owner of the Aventador LP988 Edizione-GT. Instead, interested customers need to to apply -- yes, apply -- before you're allowed to buy one. Additionally, each customer selects a one-off color, and DMC will never use that color again on an Aventador.

Those who make the cut will then be treated to a unique model that DMC says will be limited to just one color and/or style per unit, ensuring that no two programs are exactly the same. That's exclusivity spelled with a capital "E."

The Lamborghini Aventador LP988 Edizione-GT program will cost buyers a whopping $288,888.

Lamborghini Aventador LP988 "Edizione-GT" By DMC in detail

The overall body kit is an exercise in carbon-fiber overdose. One look at it and it's easy to see why it looks the way it does. Standard OEM components have been replaced with an aggressive body kit that features a new front and rear bumpers that defy any semblance of rationale thinking. The rear bumper, in particular, looks like it comes with jagged edges of a lawnmower. Likewise, a new bonnet was also installed, only this time, there's a motor-cooling air scoop in the mix to keep the mammoth engine from bursting into flames, metaphorically speaking, of course. The final kit detail is pretty obvious, largely because it's massive and serves its own purpose as a GT-spoiler to help the Aventador keep its body on the ground when it's blowing by every other car on the road.

The interior of the LP988 Edizione-GTis as nuts as its exterior, at least in terms of luxury->ke505 refinement. Generous amounts of Italian fine leather and carbon fiber were used to recreate a cabin that's as scintillating to look at as it is to be consumed by. Customers can opt to customize the interior package, beginning with simple upgrades to the cabin trim or medium upgrades that include a redesigned steering wheel. These two projects can be done remotely, but if a customer is looking at the full shebang -- a VIP package -- the Aventador has to be shipped to DMC's mothership in Germany to make it happen.

The coup de grâce of DMC's LP988 Edizione-GT program is the engine upgrade. In a word, it's nuts. A modified twin-turbo configuration and a remapped ECU aren't the only upgrades you'll see here. DMC also installed a handful of new components, including individual throttle plates for each cylinder, new modulators, fuel lines, fuel pumps, and injection nozzles. The result is an engine that presumably produces an output of 988 PS, which is about 975 horsepower -- that's a 275-horsepower bump over the standard 700 ponies. Wow, indeed.

All in, the kit costs $288,888, but if you just want the body kit, it'll run you $89,990.
