Lambo off to Oakley Design

[ZeusF]

Car is boxed and ready for the journey to Oakley design to have the 2 turbos added together with upto 1000bhp more in the power department.
New slightly lower compression engine and 1250hp running 95, 1750hp running 110.

New brakes will also be fitted at the same time together with a charge cooler system with catch tank and a drop in weight of 43kg (ota)

We are also removing a lot of the heavy plastic trim to replace with the finest RSC carbon and Heffner system.

[randlemarcus]

And some judicious use of the heat gun to remove the "double denim" stickers?

[Scousefella]

Is that going to be enough power?

[trackdemon]

Jeezus H Christ, that'll be a monster. Would you be interested in a magazine feature when it's complete?

i'd be intrigued on a breakdown of the 43kg

Door cards removed for Carbon.
All engine trim removed for carbon.
Airbox system removed.
Lightweight alloys with centre single lock.
Lightweight brakes (rotors and bells).
Bonnet Trim and carpets removed for carbon.
Carpet Underlay removed for Airplane trim (sound and comfort but less than half weight).
All engine and bay bolts replaces with titanium bolts (3lb saving).
Seat rears replaced with Carbon.
Rear pannel replaced with Carbon.
Heavy OEM speakers replaced with aftermarket, better sound and 4.2lb saving.

I will look for other avenues as the car isn't really going to be used as a daily car but more so of a car to show what can be done as my new lambo should be here around march all being well.

No, I'm not a lover of this but then its not a usual track car either.
I like the 4wd setup, having said that, I may have a discussion with Jon about this tomorrow.

Lightweight battery must be worth a good few kg's

[jammy_basturd]

I hear there are good weight savings to be had by replacing all the windows with cling film.

[Stryke]

The same Oakley that robbed a load of people, good luck with that one.

We supply a battery that would save around 15Kg alone

polycarbonate windows ( rear and small rear sides as per superleggera ) might be an idea ???

[paddy328]

Not fair really, Jon Oakley is 100% honourable, I've worked with him for 10+ years and although he can be hard to reach due to being busy he is certainly not a crook, his work is second to none and I trust him implicitly.

I like the idea but don't really want to change the outside look away from being a road car.

Yes, the new system is coated for heat and the valved exhaust will be up for sale, only has 500m on it.

Is the drive train altered? Can't imagine you could more than double the horsepower without replacing clutch, gearbox, diffs, and driveshafts.
