Lamborghini has never been accused of subtlety, yet a growing share of its owners apparently want more. With customer deliveries of the V8-powered Temerario well underway and the Revuelto SV revealed only weeks ago as the ultimate version of the brand’s V12 flagship, the aftermarket is moving quickly. Three tuners have now shown carbon-fiber body kits that push Sant’Agata’s already dramatic designs further still. None of them touches the drivetrain. They exist purely for visual impact, and they come at a price.
1016 Industries: Temerario, Reworked and Reversible
The latest to arrive is from California-based 1016 Industries, whose Temerario kit transforms the car’s stance with flared quarter panels and wheel arches. Up front, there’s a new bumper and splitter, an aggressive hood and louvered front fenders. Along the sides, new skirts and custom air intakes are joined by optional aftermarket wheels. The rear goes further still, with a large fixed wing and lip spoiler, a roof scoop, a bespoke bumper and a new diffuser.
The key selling point is that the kit is fully reversible, so owners can return the car to stock without damaging the original bodywork when it’s time to sell. Most pieces come in traditional twill carbon fiber, forged carbon fiber or a less expensive fiber-reinforced polymer. Buying the complete kit in forged carbon costs more than $120,000, with the other materials costing slightly less. 1016 Industries hasn’t said whether the parts change the car’s aerodynamics.
Zacoe: Going Wider
1016 Industries isn’t alone. Earlier this year, Zacoe followed its first Temerario kit with an even more extreme Stage Two Widebody. The company says it began by 3D-scanning a Temerario and mapping every original mounting point, then built a kit that widens the front by about 2″ per side and the rear by about 2.8″ per side. That adds roughly 5.5″ across the rear of the car. Up front, the kit keeps the bumper, splitter and hood from Zacoe’s first kit and adds louvered carbon-fiber fender flares. At the back, extraordinarily wide louvered rear fenders push the wheels outward and sit beneath a large fixed wing, a shark fin and a carbon-fiber roof scoop above a bespoke engine cover. Zacoe hasn’t announced pricing or said whether parts will be sold separately.
Venuum: A Revuelto Alternative to the SV
At the top of the range, Venuum Black is targeting Revuelto owners who want more drama without trading up to the new SV. Its Voltoro V1 kit leaves the hybrid 6.5-liter V12 untouched and focuses on the bodywork. Up front are a much more prominent bumper and splitter and a hood with new vanes and slats. Along the sides, the kit adds new skirts and bronze-colored 21″ wheels. At the rear are a new engine cover, a fixed wing, a unique bumper and diffuser, and a third brake light shaped like the Venuum logo. By the standards of some Revuelto kits, including one from Mansory, the Voltoro V1 is relatively restrained, but it still makes the standard car look more aggressive than the SV. Venuum hasn’t announced pricing, though a carbon-fiber version is likely to run well into six figures. The kit joins Venuum’s growing portfolio, which already includes designs for the Ferrari Purosangue, Rolls-Royce Wraith, Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Ferrari Luce.
The Price of Standing Out
All three kits are about looks, not lap times. The appeal for buyers is a car that stands apart even in a crowd of Lamborghinis, which explains why owners will spend six figures on parts that make no meaningful performance gain. Reversibility is likely to matter more and more, since a modified exotic can be harder to sell than a stock one, and 1016 Industries has made it a centerpiece of its kit.
