Over his many years on YouTube, James Condon AKA TheStradman has owned some of the craziest and coolest cars the automotive world has to offer. Along with having owned wild cars like his Ferrari F430 Challenge or Bugatti Veyron, he often mods them to a pretty crazy extent. Whether it is a simple straight pipe upgrade or an absurd widebody like he put on his MK5 Toyota Supra, his creations are always awesome.
Possibly the most famous car in his fleet, his 2012 Lamborghini Aventador, has gotten a variety of upgrades through his ownership, whether it be the purple wrap or the deafeningly loud exhaust mods, which made the car even better than the V12 beast already is. He hasn’t, however, done any modifications like the ones he put on the Supra. He didn’t really go that crazy with the “cheapest Aventador” in the world.
But while he didn’t do any super special bodywork to this Lamborghini Aventador, his newest purchase, costing much more, is going to become the crazy car this one could be, and that car is his 2016 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Pirelli edition.
Million Dollar Car Rarity
Before you get into the future work James is planning on doing to this V12 beast, you have to acknowledge the specific car it is. So far, the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster variant alone has had thousands of examples built and even more Aventadors total, coupe, and roadster combined. With this production number being so high, you’d think that his car isn’t that special and is actually no more rare than any other car. This assumption, however, would be completely wrong. In truth, Lamborghini only built just under 100 total Pirelli Editions and only around 15 in roadster form. This makes TheStradman’s new Aventador rarer than cars like a LaFerrari or even a McLaren Speedtail.
The name isn’t all that makes the Pirelli edition special though. It actually has some substantial changes that make it very distinctive. For starters, all of these cars, no matter which of the specific color schemes they have, are two-tone.
All of them have a color like white or yellow on the bottom half of the car and black on the upper half where the windows are. Most regular Aventadors don’t have this special two-tone design as factory options like Rolls Royces and other luxury cars do. This gives the Pirelli Edition a distinct and amazing look.
In addition to the two-tone design, throughout the car, inside and out, there are various red lines that go along different features and have the Pirelli logo along them. This simple design that they added to the detailing really gives it more character and makes it look like more than just a plain paint job.
As for performance, well, it’s a Lamborghini Aventador. With its 6.5-liter V12 engine that Lamborghinis are famously known for carrying, this beast absolutely screams up to 8500 RPM. Not only does it make an absolute chaotic amount of noise, but it's powerful too. The engine in this AWD beast makes 691 horsepower and can reach a top speed of 217 MPH, along with its hyperspeed launch from 0-60 in only 2.9 seconds.
Rare In All Aspects
Moving on from the overall details of every Pirelli Edition Aventador, it’s now time to focus on the one TheStradman owns. Probably the most unique thing about his Pirelli Edition Aventador is that he is planning on widebodying it. He isn’t just using any common widebody kit, though.
The kit James is planning on putting on his limited edition Lamborghini Aventador is actually a 1/50 worldwide kit. With both the car and the kit being extremely rare, TheStradman will likely have a one of a kind combo with the Liberty walk and Pirelli Edition combo.
A Bad Past Life
You’re probably thinking that he’s an absolute maniac doing this kind of thing to this car. There are so few of this Lamborghini in the entire world, so why would he do this kind of thing to this model, instead of a regular Aventador. Well, the answer is in history, and it also explains the incredible deal he supposedly got for it.
This exact Pirelli Edition Lamborghini Aventador Roadster was actually in a car wreck with a police car around a year back, and so the Aventador he bought all in one piece was actually originally a salvage title.
With this being the case, you have to think, is there really any other car that would be more perfect to put a widebody on? There probably isn’t unless you are a billionaire who can buy one new.
Through its years of successful production, it is more than clear how incredible the Lamborghini Aventador is in every way imaginable, and the Pirelli Edition is even better. This combined with the future widebody James, TheStradman is going to put on his makes his new Aventador absolutely awesome.
