Hamann’s limited-edition Lamborghini Aventador sports lime green accents

From the factory, the Lamborghini Aventador is one of the coolest cars on the planet. Despite this, bespoke tuning companies have let their imagination run wild with the top-of-the-line Lambo, in order to take its cool-factor to all-new heights. Hamann Motorsports is a perfect example. It has brought its take on the Aventador to the Geneva Motor Show … and it’s a grey and green masterpiece.

The tuned Aventador comes with a matte grey special paint called “stealth grey” that looks so good; it ought to be a factory color. And that special paintjob is given a dab of lime green color that contrasts the matte grey. I think the color scheme is great – who honestly doesn’t like lime green?

The exterior is also spruced-up with revised front and rear fascias, featuring carbon fiber trimmings and spoilers, revised side skirts, and a new rear wing.

The bespoke supercar comes with a 20-inch set of wheels on the front and a 21-inch set on the back.

Inside, Hamann has continued the grey-green theme in the cabin and added green leather trimmed three-spoke steering wheel. The interior also features green leather on the dashboard, seats, and door panels.
Under the hood, Hamann has managed to crank another 59 horses from Lamborghini’s standard 6.5-liter V12 that brings the amount of horses in the stable to 750.

Hamann Motorsports has found a way to include lime green on a Lamborghini without making the supercar so loud that only Kanye West’s ego could drive it.

The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA), a trade group with members including the likes of Tesla, Waymo, Rivian, and Uber, is coming out in support of tax incentives for both the production and sale of electric vehicles (EVs).

Domestic manufacturers of EVs and their components, such as batteries, have received tax incentives that have driven job opportunities in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Georgia, the group says.

We’re officially into the traditional year-end sales period for automakers. That means big discounts are on the way, as both manufacturers and dealerships want to get rid of unsold inventory to make room for next year’s models.

This season, Ford has decided to boost incentives on its bestselling electric vehicles, the 2024 F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E models.

Eaton, Treehouse to boost home capacity for EV charging, energy storage
eaton treehouse ev charging news releases

Power-management firm Eaton likes to point out that when it launched in 1911, it invested in a new idea -- the very first gear-driven truck axle -- just at a time when both transportation and power management were on the cusp of dramatic change.
More than 113 years later, Eaton is again seeking to lead innovation in the current energy transition.
The power-management firm just signed a deal with Treehouse, an AI, software-enabled installation platform for electrification projects. The end goal: accelerating the electrification of homes for electric-vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, or heat pumps, while seeking more efficiency and cost savings.
“At Eaton, we’re all-in on the energy transition and we’re making it happen at scale by delivering breakout technologies and industry collaborations needed to delight customers and make it more accessible and affordable,” says Paul Ryan, general manager of Connected Solutions and EV Charging at Eaton.
The partnership will ensure consumers are provided with accurate and fast pricing, as well as access to licensed electricians to deliver code-compliant installations, the companies say.
The collaboration also integrates into Eaton’s “Home as a Grid” approach, which supports the two-way flow of electricity, enabling homeowners to produce and consume renewable energy when they need it, Eaton says.
“For more than a century, power has flowed in one direction—from centralized power plants into homes,” the company says. “Today, there’s a new reality thanks to solar, electric-vehicle charging, energy storage, digitalization, and more.”
Projects to change homes and EVs into energy hubs have multiplied recently.
Last month, Nissan joined ChargeScape, a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) venture that is already backed by BMW, Ford, and Honda. ChargeScape’s software wirelessly connects EVs to power grids and utility companies, enabling consumers to receive financial incentives for temporarily pausing charging during periods of high demand. Eventually, consumers should also be able to sell the energy stored in their EVs’ battery back to the power grid.
In August, GM announced that V2G technology will become standard in all its model year 2026 models. And Tesla CEO Elon Musk has hinted that Tesla could introduce V2G technology for its vehicles in 2025.
