Cars are becoming just as much of a celebrity as their owners. Remember that viral video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a speeding Aston Martin DB9 Colante. That made me scream and jump. Imagine Kobe! Nike! Aston Martin! all in one frame. What I would have paid to be in that frame with them.
There are only two 1964 Aston Martin BDS that were manufactured ever to be exact. Only one is still alive and it was auction off. Get this, some of the gadgets used in the movie is still installed. Whoever owns the car now must be one hell of a millionaire.
That is just one of the cars that have been launched to stardom because of the celebrities, movies or commercials they appeared in. Another car that is way up there in coolness is the Chevy Camaro Autobot Bumblebee. I heard that it is going to get a facelift in the upcoming Transformers 3. This might be the saving grace of Transformers considering Megan Fox is going to be out in the next installment.
So what does stripped down means? Of course they kept the dashboard and the center section. They really can’t move that because of the iDrive System. They removed that front and back seats, sound deading, speakers and others. What he did is put in Ohlins coilovers, six-piston front, four-piston rear Brembos caliers over slotted rotors, a functional carbon fiber wing, a roll cage, and a new set of light yet durable Volk wheels.
Jon Olsson, perhaps the best free ski racer in the world today, drives a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV. His is painted in matte-black with a YNIQ logo on the rear wing. This car has 670 hp and a weight reduction of 220 lbs, the LP 670-4 SV makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 212 mph.
However, I favor his more classic cars. I personally own a vintage and, with the help of my friends, jazed it up a bit. I had my rims changed for a bigger one. From 14″ to 16″ which took a lot of work but that’s okay. It’s worth it anyway. Just a bit of advice if you are going to change your tires, upgrade to Good Year tires. It may be more expensive but it is worth it.
