More than 40 grand for a light cosmetic upgrade? What may sound outrageously expensive to many, especially those unfamiliar with the tuning biz, is probably mere pocket change to Lamborghini owners.
Maryland tuner Vitesse AuDessus, which describes itself as “purveyors of bespoke carbon fiber products for the world’s most exciting and exclusive automobiles”, has prepped a couple of packages with the lightweight yet strong material for Lamborghini’s LP750-4 Superveloce Coupe and Roadster models.
There are two core body kits and a single set of wheels, all made from carbon fiber. The base $15,525 Essentials Package includes the lower front bumper, side skirts, mirrors and rear diffuser, while the $22,275 Extended Package adds the hood. Vitesse AuDessus also offers a special order Bare Carbon Package with bare carbon replacements in the weave, tint and finish specified by the customer.
As for the lightweight center-lock carbon fiber wheels, which come with a proprietary coating to protect against the high heat generated by the carbon ceramic rotors, when brought separately, they will cost you $25,000, but if you combine them with one of the aforementioned styling packs, Vitesse AuDessus will apparently give you a $5,000 discount.
“Our wheels are the lightest and strongest wheels available on the market today,” claims the tuner’s CEO, Stefany Sanchez. “By shedding more than 25kg (50lbs) of unsprung weight, our wheels markedly improve acceleration, handling and fuel economy. The Superveloce is already an exciting, exclusive, and sexy automobile. Our wheels make it that much more.”
The high-end tuner says all parts will be limited to 300 examples, with a lead time of 3 to 4 weeks for the body components and 4 to 6 weeks for the wheels, depending on specs.
