Anyone who loves carbon fibre will probably love the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 CARBONADO GT by MANSORY. MANSORY practically took every non carbon fibre body panel of the car and swapped it with carbon fibre. Keen to showcase the amount of carbon fibre it has, it even leaves the centre part of the car clear. One of the biggest exterior change is its new front skirt with optimised air intakes for improved ventilation of the front radiator. Its sides have also grown by 40mm at the front and 50mm at the rear. New diffuser built into the new rear spoiler stabilises the rear at high speeds and creates surface contact pressure together with the enlarged rear wing on the rear axle also. To match its extreme look, MANSORY gave it enough power to back up its look. Fitted with two MANSORY turbochargers, new pistons, connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank and cylinder, it now puts out a humongous 1,600bhp and an electronically-limited torque of 1,200Nm. We assume the limiter was there to protect itself from killing its gearbox! This accelerates the bi-turbo V12 from 0-100km/h in a scant 2.1 seconds. The top speed is an eye-watering 370km/h. Fast enough I hope?

Recently, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, a Malaysian professional badminton player, wed his girlfriend of 11 years, Datin Wong Mew Choo. As a sport car lover, Lee ensured that his wedding entourage is no less impressive than his Olympics achievements. From the video, his wedding entourage consists of a couple of Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedans, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Even the traffic police was activated to ensure law and order during the wedding proceedings. The first sports car that Lee owned is the Nissan GT-R. By winning a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics, Lee was awarded RM 300,000 plus a life-long pension of RM 3,000 a month via the Malaysian government's Sports Incentive Scheme. In addition, The Star Media Group, a division of Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd, gave Lee RM100,000. Lee also won a silver media back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lee's wife is also a badminton player who retired from the sport in 2011.
