Ferrari 458 Italia by Prior Design

Receives an extra 45 PS

Prior Design has elaborated an upgrade package tailored to the Ferrari 458 Italia.

Even though it has been replaced for quite some time, the 458 Italia is still a car with great potential in the eyes of tuners and now Prior Design decided to apply one of their body kits to further boost its appeal. Work started at the front where there is a new bumper with side wings along with a different hood while the side profile reveals new skirts with rear attachments optimizing airflow.

At the back resides a new bumper which incorporates a diffuser and there's also a tailgate spoiler to enhance downforce over the rear axle. Prior Design have also mounted their own set of 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels, but the customer can also order various designs from BBS, ADV.1, HRE and Vossen.

The V8 4.5-liter engine has received a power package boosting output by 45 PS (33 kW) to a grand total of 615 PS (452 kW). The additional oomph was obtained through software optimization and by mounting a custom exhaust system which was then tested on the infamous Nürburgring.

Official: KTM X-BOW GT Dubai Gold Edition by Wimmer RS

Tuning firm Wilmer has just unveiled its latest and arguably greatest upgraded KTM X-Bow. This particular car is dubbed the Dubai Gold Edition and is based around the X-Bow GT complete with an upright windscreen.

Power from the Audi-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder typically powering the KTM X-Bow GT has been upped to 485 hp and 520 Nm of torque thanks to software tweaks and a range of other mechanical modifications. As a result of the additional power and torque, the X-Bow GT Dubai Gold Edition can rocket to 100 km/h in just 2.97 seconds as well as 200 km/h in a mere 9.9 seconds.

Alongside the drivetrain tweaks, the sports car features a number of bespoke body panels. Most eye-catchingly, elements of the front end and rear wheel arches are finished in chrome gold hence the car’s name. Elsewhere, Wilmer has installed a custom carbon fibre front bumper as well as a set of satin black wheels complete with bright orange outer rims.
The rear-end is then noteworthy for the massive carbon fibre wing that is featured.

IND Creates Pyrite Brown BMW M4

IND has just unveiled its latest project based around the potent BMW M4. Taking inspiration from the firm’s recently ‘Green Hell’ M4 project, this example of the German sports car is just as unique and head-turning.

Undoubtedly the most interesting element is the Pyrite Brown paint finish adorning the exterior of the BMW M4. While not as bright as the Signal Green used in IND’s previous M4 project, Pyrite Brown is equally bespoke and suits the lines of the car absolutely perfectly.

Beyond the paint, this BMW M4 features a set of bespoke FI-R wheels from leading wheel manufacturer BBS. Complementing the wheels are a number of carbon fibre elements from 3D Design like the custom front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and trunk spoiler.
The final key modification is the fitment of KW’s Variant 3 adjustable suspension system.

MEC Design Mercedes S-Class W222 Body Kit

Mercedes specialist MEC Design announced the launch of a new range of body parts they have designed exclusively for the W222 generation S-Class. As with most of their kits, the MEC Design Mercedes S-Class is quite subtle and understated, but it does give the car a classier look.

You can have the MEC Design Mercedes S-Class as a full set package in body color or carbon finish. Or you can order the parts individually. Although, as mentioned, that parts have a subtle design and we’re not sure what they can accomplish individually. You best just get the whole set, and order some nice aftermarket wheels as well. If you are tuning your luxury limo, go all the way.

The aerodynamic styling kit MEC Design is proposing for the latest version of the Mercedes S-Class consists of a front lip spoiler, rear diffuser with AMG end pipes, rear trunklid spoiler and roof spoiler. Obviously, the parts will have a bigger visual impact if you get them in carbon finish, but you should only do that if your S-Class has a bright color. On a black car like what you see here the carbon effect just won’t show.
