In a competition between the Ferrari 488 GTB and the Lamborghini Aventador to see which of the two looks the most ferocious, the big Lambo will probably win without breaking a sweat. However, things change if you throw a black hue and tuner Edo Competition into the mix.
The German tuning house will be present at the Essen Motor Show with these two, almost stock looking, beasts; teasing the 488 GTB and the Aventador ahead of their official launch.
Unfortunately, since the cars are just a preview of things to come, Edo didn’t provide any performance figures or power gains, but knowing the company is responsible for modifying the like of the Carrera GT, Maserati MC12 and even the Ferrari FXX (yes, an FXX, you read it correctly), we can assume that these two beasts pack their own power-punch under the hood.
Slightly underpowered in stock-form compared to the Aventador, the Ferrari 488 GTB looks remarkable in black. The red stripes serve justice to the car, making it seem more menacing than it already is. The visual tweaks, though subtle, emphasizes the car’s overall aggressive look, giving it a visceral, predator vibe that could take Lambo’s big bull by the horns. Mind you, its 3.8-litre turbocharged engine could very well be pushed well beyond its limits, since its forced-induction layout lends itself better to tuners.
Almost the same can be said about the Lamborghini; minus the engine-modding part, since it’s harder to extract heaps of horsepower from a naturally aspirated powerplant. Still, we think its stock 690 hp should suffice, although Edo surely didn’t settle for such a simple approach. Like the Ferrari, the Lambo also was garnished with subtle visual cues and looks stunning, to say the least.
