The car tuners at RENM Performance has released the aerodynamics package for Lamborghini Aventador Limited Edition Corsa.
The Lamborghini Aventador Limited Edition Corsa has been fitted with a new aerodynamic carbon fiber body kit and an electronically operated rear wing, along with a re-designed air intake chambers, a new titanium exhaust system and a modified ECU. Chassis modifications include an adjustable suspension, light weight center-lock race specification wheels fitted with optional race specification tyres, race brake kit with air flow inlets and revised engine and brake cooling chambers.
Inside, the Aventador gets alcantara and carbon fiber accents, including a new steering wheel design and optional light weight race seats.
RENM performance has officially released their Lamborghini Aventador Limited Edition Corsa (LE-C). The RENM Aventador LE-C is a special track focussed version of the Aventador that blends aggressive styling with race-developed technology. A video featuring design illustrations of the Aventador LE-C highlights the key features and unique design characteristics of the vehicle.
The RENM LE-C combines elements of the Aventador ‘wedge' design with influences from the Lamborghini Aventador J concept, most notably the front section. The design demonstrates how the Aventador lines have been retained while creating a distinctive and cutting-edge appearance.
"We wanted to retain the original design lines while enhancing and making improvements across the entire platform. Some aspects of the design were influenced by the Aventador J concept, but only those sections we considered were improvements. For instance, the upper rear grille is similar to the J concept, although the lower rear section is a total redesign." The design specifications were also developed in consultation with Aventador owners scheduled for the LE-C upgrade. "We released preliminary details of the LE-C earlier this year to gauge the response to the concept. Since then the design was revised and finalised prior to its production. " Key features of the LE-C program include:
Extensively redesigned aerodynamic carbon fiber body sections with electronically operated rear wing;
Road and race specification valve-controlled inconel and titanium exhaust systems, re-designed air intake chambers, ECU recalibration resulting in a 9-11% increase in engine output;
Individual suspension, chassis adjustments and modifications, with adjustable vehicle ride height;
LE-C race brake kits with air flow inlets, revised engine and brake cooling chambers;
LE-C interior with alcantara and carbon fiber accents, including steering wheel with optional light weight race seats and harness section.
The limited edition Aventador LE-C vehicles are customized for specific markets. All Aventador LE-C vehicles vary slightly in engine output. Some owners have opted for an increase in engine output through higher grade fuel with higher flowing, less restrictive exhaust systems for maximum performance. "During testing, we discovered that a larger, bolt-on rear wing was counter-productive at certain speeds. We also realised that an additional rear wing unsettled the flow and symmetry of the car's design. The electronically operated wing resolves these issues and was optimised instead of being replaced". Replacement body parts are made from light-weight carbon fiber composites that provide significant weight savings. The interior also blends alcantara and carbon fiber elements. Both standard and light-weight race seats are upholstered in alcantara with LE-C inscription. The Aventador LE-C modifications result in a reduction of rotating and unsprung masses, improved handling and traction. The complete program significantly improves performance, acceleration and vehicle dynamics. "The combination of improved power-to-weight ratio, extensive upgrades and high-grade performance components dramatically improve the driving experience. " The Aventador LE-C clearly demonstrates RENM 's capacity for concept development and design at the highest levels.

BT Design has unveiled a new Skoda concept at the 2012 Auto Mobil International Show (AMI) in Leipzig, Germany. The ETAPE Concept, as it is known, is a sporty pick-up truck based on the Czech crossover which is quite a sight in real life.The ETAPE Concept features plenty of changes from its four-door crossover cousin. Though the ETAPE is based on the production version Skoda Yeti, the Pickup concept has been given a complete overhaul with two doors, a wide body kit, a flatbed in the back and a new cabin. The concept also dons a new front and rear fascia, new side skirts, flared wheel arches housing larger alloy wheels wrapped in low profile tyres and redesigned interiors. The only aspect that is left unchanged is the car's bonnet.
Press Release
The concept of ETAPE cannot be ignored
Benet Automotive works closely with the car manufacturer Skoda Auto a.s., so it is no coincidence that BA chose Skoda Yeti model to show example customization, which is very effectively adapted to its own open concept ETAPE. They want to demonstrate on Yeti the possibilities of starting their own design proposal, from major structural modifications to precise work of modelers in the development workshop. Cycle theme of exhibition commemorates the long-term commitment of Skoda Auto in this sports sector. Last but not least, there is the analogy of everlasting efforts of the motorists to escape from the ‚peloton‘ of serial production towards individuality.
The trend confirms that individuality is desired goods on the road
Customers of BT brand are individuals who desire uniqueness as well as companies which use modified cars with unique design to promote their own products and services. As currently displayed concept ETAPE shows, the possibilies are virtually endless. Ambition of BT brand, however, reaches even further, which is clearly illustrated by the words of Josef Zajicek, managing director and mastermind of the project: ‘We want to inspire individuals and the whole industry.Our aim is to provoke even greater demand for individualization of cars from both end user and manufacturers. At the same time we want to present the possibility of building a completely unique promotional vehicles to order to various companies. Here at Benet Automotive we have enough creativity as well as technical support needed for implementation.‘
Invention is not improvisation
On the exhibition piece ETAP, only front bonnet remains from the original body parts of Yeti. Reinforcing of the structure was solved with the help of modern computer technology. In addition to designers and engineers have also come into play other professions, like people working on car body, modelers, painters, uphosterers and many others.
