Aston Martin DB6 Remastered By Lunaz

Posted on October 10, 2021 5:00 pm by admin

What type of changes will be offered for the Aston Martin DB6?

Weight distribution and chassis are being attentively inspected

The restoration process starts with a very detailed inspection of the car. The most important step will be to understand the original weight distribution so that Lunaz will further know how to adapt the chassis setup, powertrain packaging, and suspension. The process continues with the removal of the internal combustion engine and associated systems.

Next, the chassis is being prepared for re-engineering and electrification. The powertrain has been developed entirely in-house and features the very highest standard European-sourced Tier 1 OEM battery cells and motors. The battery pack ranges from 80 to 120 kWh and offers a range of 255 miles.

The internal combustion engine and associated systems are being removed

Picking the materials for the exterior and the interior is also a very meticulous process. The color palettes are explored and visualized using both 2D sketch work and advanced 3D modelling. Customers can choose between traditional materials and more contemporary ones that will provide an interior free from animal-derived materials. For example, customers can get carpets which are woven from fishing nets recovered from the sea.

There will be a huge selection of colors and materials, so every customer will have the exact DB6 of their dreams.

The company is already taking orders, but the first cars will be delivered in the first quarter of 2023

Lunaz is taking orders for the remastered DB6, but the first deliveries will be made in the third quarter of 2023. We have no word on the exact prices, but the first details suggest it will exceed $1million + local taxes. Lunaz is also accepting DB4 and DB5 to be transformed, but prices for these two models will be announced at a later date.

Maserati MC20 ’Aria’ By 7 Designs

Posted on May 23, 2021 8:00 am by admin
Carbon Fiber Aero Kit To Improve High-Speed Handling

The Maserati MC20 is a handsome car and we would be disappointed if the addition of the kit would bring in big changes. Perhaps, 7 Designs understands this too and has refrained from going berserk in terms of looks. The company noted that the initial plan was to make a full-body panel conversion kit for the Italian supercar. But, it shifted its focus to develop a kit that works with the original body.

The kit that 7 Designs has come up with consists of eight carbon fiber components and replaces only the unpainted parts of the MC20. These include:
- Front lip spoiler
- Canards on the front bumper
- Widened side skirt
- Carbon mirror covers
- Roof scoop
- Door fin accent
- Rear wing
- Rear diffuser
These components give the factory look a little more aggression without hampering the original design. The thin, deep lip spoiler at the front increases downforce at higher speeds, while the pair of canards on the bumper guide the airflow to the corners for increased stability. The diffuser helps create a smooth slipstream while reducing the drag at the rear. The wing also helps generate downforce at high speeds.

What’s The Maserati MC20 All About?

Maserati marked its return to the supercar fold with the MC20 in September 2020. This is the company’s fourth mid-engined car and is touted as a spiritual successor to the MC12, although it shares no similarities with it, other than the grille, to some extent. If you’re a fan of subtle, plain-Jane designs, the MC20 will please you. It will be offered in six different colors.

The MC20 is powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V-6 engine that churns out 621 horses and 538 pound-feet of torque.

Power is sent to the wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It takes just 2.9 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from rest and will have a top speed of over 202 mph.

Conclusion

Every component will come with a gloss carbon fiber weave. Wheel options to complement the kit will also be launched along with the kit. The company mentioned it will build only 25 of these kits for the MC20. The price hasn’t been announced, but expect it to cost a bomb given the exclusivity.

Hennessey Wants To Give The Ram TRX and Durango SRT A Hellephant Swap

Posted on April 23, 2021 10:00 pm by admin

We Could Be Looking At Two 1,200+ Horsepower Vehicles Here

In the video, John Hennessey talks about pairing the Hellephant engine with the Ram 1500 TRX and the Durango SRT. The Hellephant engine is a homage to the 426 HEMI V-8 from the past. Mopar sells the Hellephant as a crate engine, which it unveiled at the 2018 SEMA Show. It displaces at seven liters and comes with a 3.0-liter supercharged that made 15 pounds of boost. The result of this was 1,000 horses and 950 pound-feet of torque.

The aftermarket company has already tried this in the TRX when it built a 6×6 version of the truck called the Mammoth. But, coming from Hennessey, no stick figures are even enough. So, they tuned it up to produce 1,200 horses, thus making it one of the most powerful trucks ever. The company has even tuned-up the standard 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 Hellcat engine and offers the TRX with it. It makes 310 horses and 319 pound-feet of twist more than the stock truck, which brings the power output to 1,012 ponies and 969 pound-feet of torque.

John even mentioned Hennessey’s got about 60 TRXs in total, so it seems like a popular choice for the Hellephant build in the four-wheel-drive avatar. For now, the company has got two Hellephant crate motors with it, which could mean both, the TRX and the Durango, getting one engine each. We could see these builds make more than 1,200 horses and perhaps, over 1,000 pound-feet of torque too.

Conclusion

This video was the first episode of a new ‘Hellephant Madness’ series, so we could see the crate engines being plonked into the vehicles in the upcoming videos. If you were to make a decision, which vehicle would you choose to be powered by the 7.0-liter, 1,000-horsepower Hellephant engines? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
