    Jon Olsson Huracan Build thread

    Thought I would start a little build thread of my Hurcan to share with likeminded people here!

    Just got back from the garage where we took all the panels off the car in order to 3D scan all attachment points of the panels. In the past we have built wide bodys with hand shaped add on panels, but this time we will scan and build everything in the computer so that we can replace the whole panels with pre preg carbon panels. This will be lighter and will enable me to turn the car back to stock easily for inspections etc. Always a plus here in Europe where regulations are tough!

    While we build the car in the computer and produce the panels the car will be shipped to Stertman in Stockholm to get a power upgrade with the VF super charger and Akrapovic exhaust as well as a bunch of other things. I think this set up will be great for me as I am going to run the car on the Mongol rally 20 000km from London to Mongolia as well as on the winters to go skiing so I need reliable power.

    Will update this thread as soon as I have more news! Could not be happeier with the car stock so we will have to do a dam good job to make it better!

    Gratulerer John! Gleder meg til å følge med på denne tråden. Har du planer om å bytte ut interiør delene med karbon også?

    Thanks! I do have plans for the interior, not 1005 sure what to do yet. I kind of fell in love with the car, so dont want to change it to much interior wise. But there are a few things I do know that I need to do in carbon/paint/alcantara! My Girlfriends only request was that I kept the AC! haha

    Thanks for keeping us posted, Jon!
    I'm glad to hear that you will also add more power, not just visual mods.
    I have to agree, you definately need to keep the AC. I also think that some basic carbon fiber parts for the interior would be more than enough!

    Now that's a great way to reduce the weight of the Huracan ... just remove the panels.
    Sounds great you are creating a one-off wide body on your Huracan, can't wait to see the results

    A few more pics of the naked Huracan, was great to finally be able to see everything instead of guessing how its all done!
    I am curious to how the current widebody builds have solved the front wheels space(almost scraping stock when you turn max). Unless you are ok with scraping when you turn you have to redo the suspension and from what I have heard not a lot of people do this...? Anyone with info on this?

    Super cool to see the scanning process as well, but I think I will have nightmares from all the round dots we had to place on the car! haha

    Wow... It's amazing what happens when you don't check the forum for a month. Awesome build Jon. I'm sure it will be top notch just like everything else!
