At its beating heart lies a handcrafted AMG-derived 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, now tweaked to produce an awe-inspiring 838 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a Pagani-tuned seven-speed Xtrac sequential transmission, this hypercar propels itself with the grace and ferocity of a true track-bred beast. The acceleration figures remain a mystery, but with Pagani’s legacy, expect nothing short of breathtaking.

Prices: A Hypercar for the Privileged Few

While the exact pricing remains shrouded in mystery, it is safe to assume that the privilege of owning one of the eight Imola Roadsters comes with a multimillion-dollar price tag. However, the exclusivity and unparalleled craftsmanship ensure that this hypercar is not just an investment in speed but an acquisition of automotive art.

Final Conclusions: A Limited Symphony

In the realm of hypercars, Pagani stands as a maestro, conducting a limited symphony of power and elegance with the Imola Roadster.

This powerhouse delivered an astounding 838 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque, translating to a symphony of speed for those fortunate enough to command the Imola.

The All New Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD Spyder Revealed https://automotivesblog.com/the-all-new-lamborghini-huracan-evo-rwd-spyder-revealed/ https://automotivesblog.com/the-all-new-lamborghini-huracan-evo-rwd-spyder-revealed/#respond Sun, 10 May 2020 10:39:18 +0000 https://automotivesblog.com/?p=1963 More]]> Upon two months of lull in production because of the pandemic, Lamborghini has recommenced its production revealing yet another edition to the Huracan lineup that is a convertible rear wheel drive version.

Some visual changes have been provided by Lamborghini to it, so that it can be unique among the lineup. It is connected to a very large rear diffuser via a high-gloss black bumper. It also has a unique front splitter.

Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD Spyder convertible is going to be equipped with 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 engine, the same like the rest of the lineup, and it is able to produce 602 bhp of power and 413 lb. ft. of peak torque. It is equipped with a 7 speed DCT transmission that delivers the power to the rear wheels.

Although, removing the roof increases the net drag acting on the car, the structural upgrades required to transform it into a convertible add up to about 120 kilos more weight it. Still, it manages to hit 62mph in 3.5 seconds from rest. It is only 0.2 slower than its RWD coupe variant. And it manages to hit a top speed of 201 mph, which is also 1mph less than what the RWD coupe offers.

It comes with Lamborghini’s Performance Traction Control System (p-TCS) which allows it to pack a maximum punch, even at sharp corners, without skidding out. Its dynamic driving modes allow Strada, Sports, and Corsa, which differ in the amount of active assistance provided by the system.

Lamborghini will be offering 19-inch alloys with steel brakes as standard, which can be upgraded to 20-inch along with carbon ceramic brake upgrades.

Other optional upgrades include a variable ratio steering column and an electromagnetic damper control system for the suspension.

Lamborghini showcases a dual-tone interior with an iconic color scheme that adds to the convertible factor of the car.

The RWD Lamborghini Spyder has a 60/40 rear-to-front weight distribution to ensure maximum grip on the rear wheels. It has been made out of aluminum, carbon fiber, and thermoplastic to restrict its weight to about 1509 kilograms dry.

The CEO at Lamborghini explained about the added life and joy that a convertible adds to the experience of a normal car, it gives a sense of freedom and life to its drivers.

The Lamborghini RWD Spyder will be offered from a starting price of £188,800 and deliveries for this exotic version are set for this summer.

We talked about the release of the Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD four months ago; please read the article below.

McLaren 720S Spider by Novitec, with Body Kit and Power Pack https://automotivesblog.com/mclaren-720s-spider-by-novitec-with-body-kit-and-power-pack/ https://automotivesblog.com/mclaren-720s-spider-by-novitec-with-body-kit-and-power-pack/#respond Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:19:15 +0000 https://automotivesblog.com/?p=1486 More]]> If you own a McLaren 720S Spider and consider it doesn’t meet your highest demands in terms of design or output, then you can always resort to modifications carried out by a McLaren-dedicated tuning company.

Such a tuning company that deals with McLaren customizations and not only, is Novitec, a German specialist that can add impressive builds to your supercar.

Everybody knows that modifying a McLaren can be a real challenge, and that because of the advanced aerodynamics, and if not carried out properly, then things might go terrible wrong.

However, this is not the case with the gorgeous McLaren 720S Spider in question, which looks extremely exotic with the new carbon fiber aero kit.

The aero kit is part of the tuning firm`s 15 N-Largo package that transforms a supercar into a genuine spaceship on wheels. The advantage of owning the package is that it increases the car`s aerodynamics and down-force, thus enabling greater power and performance.

The 15 N-Largo package consists of carbon fiber parts all around the car`s body. There are massive front and rear spoilers which perfectly blend in with the huge 20-21-inch wheels, front and rear, and signed by Vossen company.

The exterior complements the interior with new leather and Alcantara; also, both can be had with a choice of colours. But the biggest surprise is under the hood. In factory state, the McLaren 720S Spider comes with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, developing a staggering 710 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque.

However, with Novitec`s new power kit, this monster can reach 794 horsepower and 878 Nm of torque. You might say it`s not much, but thanks to the new aerodynamics and updated exhaust system with plug-and-play control unit, the car`s new performance figures are really impressive.

Back to the factory settings, the McLaren 720S Spider was built to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, at a top speed of 341 km/h. with the new power oomph, the supercar is two tenths of a seconds faster, at a top speed of 346 km/h.

This is quite an exceptional work from Novitec, and I bet this customer is really happy with the final resort. However, don’t ask me about the prices, because it was not yet revealed. Should you have any questions on this regard, then do not hesitate to contact Novitec`s shop.

Novitec`s signature is also visible on other supercars as well. There was a great project recently carried out on a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, whose weight has been considerably reduced to provide greater sprint and better stance on the tracks. Other projects were carried out on the gorgeous Ferrari 812 or the Ferrari 488 Pista, both with impressive modifications at the exterior as well as under the hood.

If you like Novitec`s work and builds and want to hear more about their projects, then stay tuned for upcoming news, `cause we have got some big surprises coming up! Meanwhile, take a closer look at Novitec`s work on the exotic McLaren 720S Spider!

Staggering Price Set for Plug-in Hybrid Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Recently to Debut in Australia https://automotivesblog.com/staggering-price-set-for-plug-in-hybrid-ferrari-sf90-stradale-recently-to-debut-in-australia/ https://automotivesblog.com/staggering-price-set-for-plug-in-hybrid-ferrari-sf90-stradale-recently-to-debut-in-australia/#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2019 19:36:53 +0000 https://automotivesblog.com/?p=1232 More]]> With Ferrari celebrating 90 years of existence of the Scuderia, the Italian supercar maker wanted to create a special model that would become an icon in the plug-in hybrid. And that would be the SF90 Stradale, declared the most powerful plug-in hybrid that can be legally found on the roads.

First officially announced on the market back in May, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale made its debut in Australia and will be unleashed on the hot roads early next year. The price is justified for the monster power it sports under the hood: no less than $846,888.

For that price, you get the best treatment, technologically speaking. That aside, the performance is staggering for a plug-in hybrid version. We are dealing here with power coming from three electric motors and a conventional 3.9-liter engine. Together, they output no less than 736 kW (1000 PS), with the engine alone producing 574 kW. 

That allows for incredible performance figures as well – just 2.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, while the quarter mile is done in 6.7 seconds. These achievements are also able due to the supercar`s weight of just 1.570 kg.

Besides good looks and master power, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is also beautiful on the inside and tweaked with the latest technologies. There is a massive 16.7-inch digital HD screen with a head-up display, along with redesigned controls, most of them positioned on the steering wheel. All are part of the carmaker`s `hands-on-the-wheel` philosophy.

Aussie magazine PerformanceDrive has released a more in-depth view on the Ferrari SF90 Stradale`s main characteristics. You can find them below.
