Time to conquer the white stuff with a V-12 and AWD.
The winter months up north aren’t always kind to automobiles, which is why sports cars, supercars, and other high-end cars are retired to the garage for the entire season, and the “winter cars” become the daily drivers. The team at SR Auto Group decided that they weren’t going to surrender to the snow, salt, and cold, and created the PROJECT700 Wintermode Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.
The Vancouver-based automotive company began their work on the Lamborghini Aventador at the end of November with a completely stock model. The team quickly moved onto Stage One of the PROJECT700 Wintermode by installing the PUR Basics lowering system and test fitting a set of aftermarket wheels to ensure a proper fit and clearance.
Soon after, SR Auto Group began the tear-down of the Aventador and preparation for the PUR carbon fiber Aero kit starting off with the large carbon fiber rear wing. Following the rear wing was the new carbon fiber PUR front spoiler lip, side skirts, rear spoiler, rear decklid, and rear diffuser to optimize airflow and improve the overall aerodynamic capabilities of the supercar. To stand out in the snowy environment, SR Auto Group gave the PROJECT700 Wintermode a Satin Black vinyl wrap on the entire body and a clear vinyl wrap to the carbon fiber parts to protect them from the salt and elements.
The PROJECT700 Wintermode isn’t going to just stay home in the garage all winter; it’s going to be active on the snow slopes. With this in mind, SR Auto Group installed an eight-foot-long Thule ski box, roof rack attachment, and custom-designed ‘SR Executive’ rear attachment so that skis and snowboarding equipment can be transported with ease. This, along with the rest of the body, was given a slick Satin Black vinyl wrap.
The all-black color scheme continued with the new snow shoes designed to handle anything the winter can throw their way. The PROJECT700 Wintermode was outfitted with a new set of PUR 4OUR wheels in a 9.5 x 19 front and 12.0 x 20 rear staggered setup wearing 255/35/19 and 335/30/20 Pirelli Sotto Zero winter tires to chew through snow. With wheels being exposed to all of the snow, slush, salt, and dirt during the winter, the SR Auto Group team gave the PUR 4OUR wheels a tough Modern Black powdercoating.
When it comes to driving during the winter, the SR Auto Group PROJECT700 Wintermode Lamborghini Aventador is the perfect way to conquer the elements.
