THE TRANSFORMATION
Black to green.
Same obsession.
L8TALWYS is our 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4, built around a 5.2-litre V10 and all-wheel drive. The car began in black before its transformation to Verde Mantis, with the factory black roof and matte black details providing contrast.
This is the personal Santos Collection Huracán with the regular LP610 front bumper and retained rear spoiler. Its build journal follows the original black car, paint preparation and the move to green, then the turbo and exhaust fabrication, suspension development and workshop finishing that followed.

A colour change to vivid green, paired with the black roof and matte black details.
The build keeps evolving
Turbo and exhaust fabrication, suspension development and finishing details continue to shape the car. The build journal below follows that work and the Verde Mantis Huracán out at meets.
