The Lamborghini Aventador is on its way to receiving one of the most eye-catching body kits so far, with the aftermarket apparel coming all the way from Japan. Tuner Liberty Walk is currently working to gift the V12 machine with a widebody kit.
Liberty Walk has already dressed Lamborghini’s Aventador in its clothes, but the package wasn’t all that special, since it didn’t feature the company’s riveted-on styling, which has become famous despite its recent introduction.
You can see the existing kit on the White car above, while the Red Aventador is only a teaser image released by the aftermarket developer. While there will be a number of common elements, such as the lower front apron area, including that generously-sized splitter, the trick here is, like we said, the wide part.
In order to talk about the Liberty Walk widebody kit we have to go back to 2012, when this appeared on a Toyota. The project is the creation of Kei Miura, a man from Japan who has a rich experience in customizing cars. He felt inspired by the Hacki-Roku and came up with what he called the Rocket Bunny kit for the GT 86 / Scion FR-S. This wasn’t just a pretty name though, as it came with a motorsport-inspired look, mixed with the riveted-on approach.
The Rocket Bunny boosted the popularity of the Toyota GT 86 and Scion FR-S, but it didn’t stop there. The man joined forces with the aforementioned Japanese tuner, which turned the brand into a successful franchise.
Subsequently, the pack became known as the Liberty Walk kit and took “shocking” to a whole new level when it started showing up on supercars via the company’s US arm. The list includes names like the Ferari 458 Italia, Ferrari 458 Spider and Nissan GT-R. Liberty Walk’s works also made its way to the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Murcielago, as well as to BMWs. In fact, the tuner is working on a kit for the BMW M4 as you are reading this.
Heck, collectors have even pulled a Liberty Walk DIY build for a Toyota GT 86 scale model.
While we do admit the visual side of the deal has won us over, we can’t help thinking that strapping such a package on vehicles that can play with triple digit speeds casually is not without its controversy. The package usually includes a pretty upright rear aerodynamic element, so this looks like serious downforce play, but the tuner doesn’t mention anything about it.
