AI Summary
The video chronicles the initial stages of a significant modification project on a Lamborghini Revuelto, referred to as "THE BIG OLD V12 ELVOSTO" and later "the Roto." The presenter expresses excitement about embarking on this new era of builds, highlighting that the project has been a long-planned endeavor since selling the Koenigsegg. The focus is on enhancing the car's aesthetics and aerodynamics using a custom kit from Zacho Performance.
The unboxing process reveals several key components. The first crate contains a carbon fiber hood, praised for its perfect weave and a unique recessed cutout design that promises to alter the front-end appearance. The underside of the hood is matte carbon fiber. The presenter announces the intention to paint most of the hood, leaving some sections exposed carbon, a decision anticipated to be controversial among viewers.
A second, larger crate holds more parts. Among them are components identified as side skirts, distinguished by the "Zacho Ravalto Number 004" insignia. The presenter expresses uncertainty about their exact placement but deduces they likely fit underneath the doors. The quality of the shipping and packaging from Zacho Performance is consistently lauded.
The video then transitions to the installation process, beginning with the side skirts. Working outside due to the car's width and the garage's narrowness, the presenter details the removal of the factory side skirt, which involves carefully peeling back weather stripping and removing adhesive tape. The new carbon fiber side skirt is then prepared by transferring clips and other small components from the original part. The process of removing the Lamborghini emblem from the factory side skirt is shown, involving cutting 3M tape and navigating a small pin. The presenter notes that the factory also uses 3M tape for these applications. The installation of the carbon fiber side skirt is described as a success, with the presenter appreciating when parts fit well.
Next, the team tackles the carbon fiber hood installation. This involves removing the factory hood latch and emblem. The presenter reiterates the plan to paint parts of the carbon hood, leaving some sections exposed, and acknowledges the challenge of routing the windshield washer fluid line through the new carbon fiber hood. The hood removal is depicted as a hot and arduous task, undertaken outdoors to showcase the car's appearance in natural light. Once the factory hood is off, the new carbon fiber hood is test-fitted. The presenter is impressed with the initial fitment, noting its aggressive look and the significant amount of exposed carbon fiber. The decision to potentially leave the hood unpainted for a while is considered due to its striking appearance.
The video then moves to the rear of the car, focusing on the installation of a new wing. The presenters express hope that the rear bumper won't need to be removed. The factory wing is removed, described as surprisingly easy with just four bolts. This leads to a lighthearted discussion about the ease of stealing factory wings. The new wing, including its base plate and uprights, is then mounted. The presenter is enthusiastic about the added downforce and the aggressive aesthetic. The installation of the second half of the side skirt is also shown, with a small clip causing a minor hiccup. The fitment of the new wing is checked, with the presenter emphasizing the importance of avoiding contact with the paint. The swan-neck design of the wing and the use of lightweight T40 titanium hardware are highlighted.
The team then installs the carbon fiber front splitter. To avoid using jacks and jack stands, they utilize an elevator to lift the car, providing sufficient access underneath. The splitter installation is described as straightforward, utilizing factory hardware and 3M tape. The presenter notes the aggressive new look of the front end, with a significant amount of carbon fiber replacing painted surfaces. The "Zacho kit" is credited with giving the car an arrow-like, elongated appearance. The discussion then turns to painting decisions for the new carbon fiber parts, with a general consensus to paint most of the kit to match the car's color, while keeping the wing itself exposed carbon. The decision to paint the wing base plate is also considered.
The video concludes with a discussion about the car's sound, which is slated for an upgrade, and the potential need for new wheels to complement the modifications. A chance encounter with Dave Portnoy, who promotes Strat Pizza and their new chicken wings, is featured. The presenters express satisfaction with the progress made on the Revuelto, deeming it a "crazy" transformation. The video ends with a brief mention of an accidental cut to the presenter's finger while handling prickly parts.
