Ken Okuyama has unveiled his new Kode 0 at The Quail
Motorsports Gathering. Billed as a follow up to the Kode 57, the Kode 0 is a
retro-inspired supercar which was envisioned to capture the spirit of
automotive design in the 1970's. In particular, the car pays tribute to
Marcello Gandini who penned classics such as the Lancia Stratos Zero,
Lamborghini Countach, and Ferrari Moduro.
Based on the Lamborghini Aventador, the model
features a “one motion” design that gives the car a wedge-shaped appearance.
The vehicle also has a front splitter, LED headlights and 20- / 21-inch forged
alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires. The unique styling continues at the
rear as the Kode 0 has been equipped with a triangular-shaped quadruple exhaust
system which is flanked by a massive diffuser.
The car's distinctive carbon fiber body work
combines Lamborghini's carbon fiber monocoque chassis to create a relatively
lightweight supercar. Okuyama says the model weighs 1,550 kg which
means it is lighter than the base vehicle.
Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter
V12 engine that develops 700 PS and 690 Nm of torque. It
is connected to a seven-speed ISR transmission which enables the standard
Aventador to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
