💪ONE-OFF⚒️ - Imagine witnessing a car that blurs the lines between reality and dreams. This is exactly what the 7X Design Rayo, a revised Lamborghini Huracán, achieves. Powered by British specialist 7X Design, this hypercar takes inspiration from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300, boasting nearly 2000 horsepower and an elongated body capable of reaching a top speed of 500 km/h. This extraordinary machine made its debut at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court in September 2021.

The Rayo is an extreme version of the Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4, designed to rival the McLaren Speedtail and Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300. 7X Design aimed to transform the Huracán into a hypercar that could exceed 300 mph, or over 480 km/h. To achieve this, they collaborated with Envisage Group to create a body that minimized air resistance. The new carbon fiber body panels reduced the drag coefficient from 0.39 to 0.279, inspired by the fastest Bugatti Chiron. Despite these changes, the front of the car retains the iconic look of the original Huracán.

The power behind the Rayo comes from a collaboration with American company Underground Racing. They specialize in enhancing V10 and V12 engines of Italian supercars. The Huracán's V10 5.2 engine was boosted to 1,900 horsepower with the addition of two massive turbos and extensive internal modifications. Although the exact performance figures have not been released, the car's goal is clear: to surpass 300 mph.

The Rayo’s bodywork is not just about performance but also aesthetics. The rear end, significantly longer than a standard Huracán, resembles a fusion of a Lamborghini and a Koenigsegg Regera. The front bumper has been refined, and the rear window features horizontal cooling slots. The design includes nods to the Miura, with distinctive features under the headlights.

In addition to the Miura and Koenigsegg influences, the Rayo's power output aligns with some of the most powerful hypercars. The twin turbochargers increase the V10's output from 610 hp to over 1,900 hp. Such power figures are almost surreal, yet in the world of drag racing, there are even more extreme Huracáns with over 3,000 horsepower.
Despite its capabilities, the Rayo will not compete for the title of the fastest production car since it is a one-off creation. This unique project by 7X Design follows their earlier work on theGTO Vision, which incorporated various Ferrari elements but faced legal challenges from Ferrari. Turning to Lamborghini for this project allowed them greater creative freedom.
As we admire the Rayo, we can only hope to see it achieve its lofty goals. The pursuit of speed and innovation continues to drive the automotive world, and 7X Design’s Rayo stands as a testament to what is possible when passion and expertise converge. The journey of this remarkable car is one we will be watching closely, eager to see it push the limits of what a hypercar can achieve. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | 7X DESIGN | AUTOEVOLUTION | CARSCOOPS | AUTONEWS.FR | AUTOBLOG.NL ]
