Want a wider Aventador? Liberty Walk makes Lambo’s finest even more outrageous

“There are too many tuned Aventadors on the road today,” said no one ever.

Japanese tuners Liberty Walk are planning to present a widened, lowered, and stretched version of the Lamborghini Aventador at this year’s SEMA event.

According to a post on Lambo Cars, photos of a red Aventador (seen above) are actual design renderings from the computer of Liberty Walk owner, Kato-San. The car costs around $446,000, which nearly $50,000 more than the stock Aventador’s base price of S397,500.

As far the the exterior goes, there are almost too many modifications to name. There are wheel arch extensions that look like medieval armor plating, a massive wing attached to the rear fascia, new bumpers, side skirts, wheels, and vents.

The car is covered with LB Works decals, including one that reads, “Imagine all the people living life in peace.” Kato-San adorns each and every Liberty Works car with the passage from The Beatle’s “Imagine.”

The additional body panels are actually riveted onto the car instead of molded, which gives the car a mechanical, rugged look. And yet, despite having a swath of carbon fiber, steel, and plastic fastened to it, Kato-San has managed to preserve the elemental, sleek design of Lamborghini’s flagship.

Kato-San’s Avendator differs hugely from the Edizione-GT by DMC, which has more gills, splitters, and fins than a lionfish in comparison. Liberty’s primitive styling looks subtle and aggressive by contrast, however DMC has Liberty beaten on the power front.

There are no major modifications to the 6.5-liter, 690-horsepower V12 powertain on Liberty Walk’s version, however it does have a new exhaust system. DMC’s Aventador has almost 300 hp more than stock but costs $288,888 for the package alone.

As the tuning company did with the brutal Murielago in 2012, Liberty will likely only produce a small number of modified Aventadors. The massively modified ‘Murc was limited to only 20 units.

Mercedes-Benz EQG: range, price, release date, and more
Concept image of the larger electric G-Wagon

The G-Class is going electric. We already knew that Mercedes-Benz was working on an electric, small-size G-Wagon, but it looks like the company is also working on a larger G-Class SUV, in the form of the EQG. In fact, Mercedes has gone as far as to show off a concept version of the off-roader.

While there's much we don't know about what will become the production model of the EQG, Mercedes has also shared a lot about it. Curious about whether the Mercedes-Benz EQG could be the EV for you? Here's everything we know so far.
Design
Fear not -- the EQG will retain many of the design aspects of the G-Class that you already know and love but with a modern face-lift. The EQG will keep the boxy design that gives the G-Class a classic look but with some additional modern styling, at least if the concept version is anything to go by.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs
Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
