The Lamborghini Aventador, the successor to the Murciélago, has just begun deliveries to a few select customers. And while the car itself can be considered special and rare, there has not been a limited edition or performance model announced. But the Lamborghini tuning experts at Oakley Design already have a limited edition model planned, one that boasts rear-wheel drive, carbon fiber aerodynamics, and a 760 bhp engine. The new 2012 Lamborghini Sport Cars Aventador LP760-2 Oakley Design uses a state-of-the-art 6.5-liter V-12 engine positioned behind the driver to achieve unrivaled performance. Although the V-12 is rated at 690 bhp and 508 lb-ft. of torque stock, Oakley Design has set its sights on 760 bhp and 550 lb-ft. of torque. The power increase will come from a new titanium exhaust that saves over 66 lbs., a retuned ECU, bigger airbox, and larger diameter intake feed pipe.

Oakley Design’s goals for the Lamborghini Aventador were to shed weight wherever possible without sacrificing comfort, and to create a truly unique sports car. To do this, Oakley Design is working to remove the front differential, drive shafts, and other drivetrain parts that send power to the front wheels, thus saving approximately 187 lbs. (85 kg), and creating a rear-wheel drive monster.

Despite having a carbon-fibre bodyshell, the 2012 Lamborghini Sport Cars Aventador LP760-2 Oakley Design has many gloss black plastic parts. The two plastic front bumper and two rear bumper trims will be extended to aid cooling, as will the side air intakes located behind the doors. The new parts will be made from carbon-fibre, as will the new side sills with their slightly larger vents. The sills can either be colour-coded to the bodywork, with the air vents picked out in carbon, or left completely in exposed carbon finish for a more aggressive look. Developed in the MIRA wind tunnel, the rear Gurney flap, matched to a deeper rear diffuser with longer, deeper boundary layer fences, helps high-speed stability and grip on both two and four-wheel-drive versions. The carbon-fibre door mirrors and engine bay covers are direct replacement parts. Along with the black carbon roof, they give this very special Aventador its distinctive Oakley Design look.

In addition to the drivetrain upgrades, Oakley Design is working with HRE to create a new ultra-light, forged alloy wheel is being developed in conjunction with our partner HRE. Weighing around 4.0kg less per corner than the factory alloys, this is the distinctive Oakley Design P40 design used on our Ferrari and Porsche based models, and utilize the factory 255/35ZR19 front and 355/30ZR20 rear Pirelli PZero tires. At the front, Oakley has increased the wheel width from 9.0J to 9.5 inches at the front and 12.0J to 13.0J at the rear for even greater grip. Although the majority of owners will purchase just the carbon-fibre parts, sports exhaust and re-mapped ECU, a few hard-core clients are interested in a rear-drive only option for further weight saving and increased performance.

2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car

2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car

Following the launch in Paris of the Peugeot 908 in February, a diesel-hybrid version of the new car has now been unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show. After Gumpert Apollo Hybrid and Porsche GT3 Hybrid, Peugeot is the next one with hybrid race car in the Le Mans. Gorgeous looking and hell-fast Peugeot 908 Hybrid4 is here. After months of speculations and tests Peugeot finally confirmed that 2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car will be used in test for this year Len Mans on 24th April 2011. The newcomer has already been set ambitious targets for the 2011 season.

The new 2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car has been designed to comply with the latest endurance racing regulations and will play a major part in the Brand's 2011 environmental strategy. Indeed, the combination of driving excitement with environmentally-respectful performance of the very highest level is ingrained into the heart of the Peugeot brand identity. This commitment will now also be championed by the HYbrid4 technology which combines diesel and electric power, two areas in which the Brand has forged a solid reputation for excellence.

2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car

Peugeot’s regenerative breaking system will bring in boost of 80 hp and depend on lithium-ion batteries. This is similar to the first generation Zytek hybrid, utilizing a battery storage system instead of a flywheel-based unit which Porsche implemented in their race car 911 GT3 R Hybrid. Additional fuel saving will be achieved by using electric-only mode in the pit-lane, which is under ACO rules, and Peugeot 908 Hybrid4 will bank on it. Main power unit will be all-new 550-horsepower 3.7-liter V8 turbodiesel, backed up by a six-speed sequential gearbox.

2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car

The system employed by the 2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car recovers and stores the kinetic energy generated under braking, before feeding it back into the driveline during acceleration. Using this recovered energy in this way significantly improves the efficiency of the power-train.

2012 Peugeot Sports Cars 908 Hybrid4 Race Car

The system provides a short power boost of 60kW (80hp) for a few seconds when it is activated. Recovered energy (500kJ between two braking phases) is stored in lithium-ion batteries before being automatically released to power the rear wheels under acceleration (there is no "push to pass" function). It will also be possible to run in electric only mode along the pit-lane and it is this mode that will be used for the car's homologation.

Beautiful hybrid car with powerful diesel engine. Unmistakable that is Peugeot. And another win for French car industry and their eco-friendly approcach to fast cars.
