Redesigned Lamborghini Aventador turns the iconic supercar into a no-nonsense beast on wheels

Posted on by

The new Aventador concept is done with your bullsh**. It looks like it doesn’t want to listen to any excuses, and has no time for your agenda. All it wants from you is to put the pedal to the metal, and all it wants to do is be the unbridled Italian raging bull that it was destined to be.

Designed by Karan Adivi, who’s developed a unique panache for reinventing popular cars in a way that amplifies their attitude, the Lamborghini Aventador Redesign is no different. Look at it and it still feels like a Lamborghini, but just like the Countach got its revival last year, the Aventador gets a flavor upgrade, and hey, it definitely looks spicier.

Designer: Karan Adivi

Adivi’s Aventador redesign is interesting because it balances aggression with sophistication. The new Aventador doesn’t look like a bar pub brute, but like a modern-day assassin. The facelift features a cleaner design, with a white paint job that has a bit of Nordic Polestar blended in. The headlights are narrow (think Countach but slimmer), almost making it look like the car’s looking at you with a discerning glare, and the air intakes on the front are merged together to form a mouth that looks clenched shut in silent rage… that’s until you hit the ignition.

For Adivi, the project simply was about reinventing the Aventador aesthetically, so there’s little to talk about as far as performance or internals go. The rear has a bit of a retro flavor, with those taillights that are a distinct deviation from Lamborghini’s sideways Y-shaped lighting. You’ve got the slatted rear windshield that’s a modern classic now, but Adivi also included pop-up fins on each side, right above the rear fenders (better visible in the front view). Exhaust pipes emerge from between the razor-thin taillights in a decidedly retro fashion too, harking back to the Diablo days.

The Lamborghini Aventador Revision is currently just a hobbyist concept from the mind of Adivi, although it does leave us wanting for more. For starters, I can’t help but wonder what the interiors would look like, and even though they’re all just renders, I really do wish someone built a custom one-off version of this, just as a hat tip to how iconic the Aventador name really is.

Electric Mitsubishi Eclipse has minimum footprint folding chassis + erotic flowing aerodynamics

Posted on by



This modern interpretation of the nostalgic Eclipse is not just a sportscar with supremely good looks, it solves the parking voes for the driver by separating into driver and passenger modules – virtually folding into itself when in the vertical parked position.

Perhaps all of us still remember the Paul Walker’s (in movie character Brian O’Conner) customized 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from The Fast and The Furious franchise. The main protagonist of the highly acclaimed franchise sort of faded away with the tragic death of the kind-hearted actor who won millions of hearts during his time and even more after he left us all. The Eclipse has had a magnetic charm in the yesteryears, and till date due to its highly customizable capabilities, making it favored canvas for tuning experts too. Not to forget the cool-looking ride featuring in the Need for Speed franchise by Electronic Arts, and the Midnight Club arcade racing video game published by Rockstar Games.

Designers: Advait Taware and Karan Adivi

So I can safely say, the Eclipse is one cool tuner sedan that’s overshadowed by those dripping hot supercars from the 90s and 2000s era. Keeping the influence of the original Eclipse alive while giving it a modern interpretation is not easy. That’s exactly what this concept designed by Advait Taware and Karan Adivi is all about. The duo has sprayed their magic of digital art to make the Eclipse rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Without compromising the strong connection between the car and the owner, the designers have created this stunning render of the electric Eclipse using Unreal Engine 4.

They take things a step further with a lower footprint interpretation of the car which is reduced in size when it docks in the garage at home. It virtually folds into itself, and the passenger module is separated to make the folding action possible. When the rider is ready for the next ride it changes the shape, the module is attached back in place, and Eclipse is transformed into a four-wheeler. Talking of the design aesthetics, the car has a clear windshield that runs right alongside the boot area, giving it a very refreshing, and chunky overall feel. The interiors bear a very upbeat styling with all the technological influences in place to make the rider feel at home. It’s like a modern sportscar anyone would dream of taking for a spin on the freeway!

A Dodge Viper high on testosterone with enough firepower to set the streets on fire!

Posted on by

A chunky Dodge Viper concept design filled with testosterone – ready to take command of the streets, race circuits, or conventional tracks for unparalleled dominance.

Dodge Viper is one sports car automotive enthusiasts will love to get a hold of, now that it is out of production and turning into a hot property with every passing year. While Dodge has no plans to revive the muscular hunk, the American sports car boasting a V10 engine lets the performance do all the talking – on the streets and tracks as well. While I still can’t get the flowing design of the Viper Basilisk Concept off my head, this new flashy Dodge Viper concept urges me to change my mind.

Designed and conceptualized by automotive designer Karan Adivi – who’s got a knack for visualizing hypnotic car designs – this concept shines with its wide-body stance and hot wheels – literally. Adivi tunes the already intimidating beast with his body kits on all sides to turn the Viper into a street racer god sent for the next Fast and Furious 10 shenanigans. The four-wheeler gets cheeky rear bumper lip diffusers, remodeled headlights, sharper front grill ducts, and a slightly uplifted hood nose that just stares at you so hard, you would eventually blink first!

The interiors are clad in red –matching the red on the wheels which is a hard thing to not get drawn into. The overall sports car appeal of the Dodge is certainly escalated in this concept design – and it’s highly desirable. Will this blue Dodge Viper with stylized white stripes capture my heart? It’s a close call, but I have to say a loud yes!

This Dodge Charger Daytona with an exposed v8 engine is sure to win Dom Toretto’s approval!

A Dodge Charger Daytona concept that’ll stun automotive lovers with its charming looks and the bold display of the V8 engine under the hood, all exposed for automotive lovers’ attention!

Muscle cars are my weakness – it’s love at first sight, literally, and the Dodge Charger Daytona ranks up, not just on my list. Dom’s signature car in The Fast Saga is the black 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. The car he built with his father appeared in The Fast and the Furious, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, and Furious 7. With its exposed hood, this version of the Dodge Charger is sure to win Dom’s critical approval!

Now, creative designer, Karan Adivi takes us down the memory lane with an incredible CGI render of the retro racer that was way ahead of its time in terms of looks and performance. Yes, the Dodge Charger Daytona gets an incredible orange drape and an exposed hood to show off the 7.2 liter Magnum V8 engine. This modern interpretation of a legendary circuit racer does away with the exaggerated rear wing, and I absolutely love it. Atleast, a 2021 muscle car doesn’t need those old-school wings.

The ride height has been significantly reduced for a sleek aerodynamic form of the Dodge. This should produce enough downforce to keep it sticking to the tarmac on twisty corners with the reassurance of prime grip. Wheels on this stunner have also been replaced with a very boyish character and gorgeous star-shaped shining silver rims. Adivi has tweaked the flowing side body design a bit to give the car a more visually appealing balance as opposed to the original one that had a bit elongated dimension to the front. The wrapped black color strip running the length of the boot and down to the bumpers gives the ride a styling advantage.

This is one Dodge Charger every muscle car lover will glance over and over again, given the perfect combination of color and body shape. I hope Dodge land their eye on this and ponder over a future design for their most successful performance car. Or maybe this one could be the world savior in the upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts!

This Batman 2022-worthy Dodge Charger RT is a racing machine of new extremes!

Posted on by

A reimagined Dodge Charger RT in flashy dark grey hue is the perfect accomplice for the modern-day Batman fighting crime on the streets of Gotham.

Dodge Charger RT is a four-door muscle car that’s on the bucket list of countless automotive lovers. While some are lucky enough to drive one or even own this beast, others still live in the awe of this American iconic car. Right from the late 1960s till date, the seven generations of the muscle car haven’t lost the sublime performance quotient with the unique mix of their striking looks. Both these attributes have stayed the same all these years and understandably Dodge Charger RT has captured the imagination of designers as well.

This shiny dark grey Dodge Charger RT reimagined by Karan Adivi using tools like Blender 3D, Autodesk, and 3ds Max is one to behold. Flawlessly crafted for a 2021 vibe, the muscle car exposes the engine bay in full, to flaunt the V8 powerhouse. Clearly, it is all about performance on the race tracks and streets. Racers who are capable of taking this machine to the limit will enjoy glancing over to the fuming engine at peak performance levels.

That dark color prompts me to imagine it as a minimalistic Batmobile for the modern-day Batman – Edward Nashton (a.k.a. The Riddler) to be precise. Given the rage for muscle cars, this Dodge Charger with a bit more modification will make for the perfect Batmobile in the upcoming The Batman 2022 movie.

The fat wheeled, low rider-like character of this Dodge Charger RT gives it the license to burn the tarmac in a drag race on the streets. Something a motorhead absolutely values in a muscle car of this proportion.
