Lamborghini Aventador Receives Carbon Interior from MAcarbon

The Lamborghini Aventador is a carbon fiber beast that offers a ton of excitement per second, but there are still certain ares where one might want a bit of extra drama. One of these is the interior - how can you not want exposed carbon fiber in the cabin of such a car?

The answer comes from the aftermarket world and, in this case, from US specialist MAcarbon,. which has delivered a series of carbon fiber trimming for the LP700-4.

The company has shared a couple of photos with us and the prospect of gifting an Aventador with such goodies brings quite a lot of excitement. So far, MAcarbon has released developments such as trimming for the steering wheel, door panels, center console, as well as two pieces that are destined for the inner and outer frames of the navigation unit.

Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 to Debut in Geneva

The Geneva Motor Show is set to bring us many new pieces of fresh and exciting metal and one of the best will come from Lamborghini, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Company CEO Stephan Winkelman previously announced that he Raging Bull will introduce a one-off proposal at the Swiss event, but didn’t offer too many details on the matter.

It now seems that the new development will be a special Aventador, which will be called LP720-4, as AutoGespot writes. Since the car uses this designation, it means that it will gain an extra 20 hp, not just the expected visual treats.

Considering that the Aventador is already a full-force beast, as we found out during our test drive, we’re really curious what an ECU remap can do for it - this is the tech modification we're expecting it to receive.

Lamborghini Aventador Gets Chrome Red Wrap

The Lamborghini Aventador is a car that feels even more sporty to drive than it looks, as we found out during our test drive. We got behind the wheel of a white LP700-4 which drew attention like a magnet everywhere we took it.

However, there will always be some who want even more visual drama and the tuning world is the answer for them. The perfect example of this lies in the adjacent image, which shows us an Aventador wrapped in Chrome Red.

Our own Sir May B. Bach points out that this looks more like Chrome Burgundy, but he dismisses such shades, so we won’t tell you more about his opinion on this.
