Mansory Aventador Carbonado Apertos

Mansory Carbonado Apertos 0 600x346 at Gallery: Mansory Aventador Carbonado Apertos
The world’s most prestigious tuner Mansory has released a few new pictures of one of their finest creations ever, the Mansory Aventador Carbonado Apertos. Revealed last year at the Essen Motor Show, the custom Roadster Lambo is a million Euro limited edition of just three units.
Those fortunate enough to get a Mansory Aventador Carbonado Apertos have access to a naked carbon fiber body, a bespoke leather, carbon and Alcantara interior, and an incredible power output of 1,250 hp (920 kW) and maximum torque of (electronically limited) 900 Nm. That means they can sprint form 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 380 km/h.
But most of those three people, we reckon, have bought the Mansory Aventador Carbonado Apertos just for the way it looks. The car boasts all-new carbon fiber compoenents from head to toe, and is even longer and wider than the standard Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.
The car has new bumpers, new bonnet, side skirts and sills, fenders, rear diffuser, wing, and grille inserts. There is also a set of very high-end Mansory alloy wheels in size 9×20 and 13×21 inch with carbon inlays and the ultra high-performance Pirelli P ZERO tyres in sizes 255/30ZR20 at the front and 345/23ZR21 at the rear.

PP Exclusive BMW M3 Wide Body (E92)

When German tuner PP Exclusive decided to come up with something to show off their new deep concave forged wheels, they immediately of the Liberty Walk wide body kits. So they put together this cool PP Exclusive BMW M3 Wide Body you see here, and it does the job brilliantly.
The main reason for choosing an LB-Performance treatment for this project was because only these kits are extreme enough, and have fenders large enough, to accommodate PP’s huge new wheels. The M3 here is fitted with a set of 11 x 20 inches wheels on the front axle shod with 285 section tires, and 13 x 20 inches rims with 325 tires on the rear axle. They fit those fenders perfectly thanks to KW ClubSport Coilover suspension system.
As for the kit itself, PP Exclusive BMW M3 E92 gets a full Liberty Walk package with custom front and rear bumpers, front splitter, rear diffuser, ducktail rear wing, side skirts and custom sills, and of course, the all-important bolt-on fender extensions. The black paint job does obscure the sheer lunacy of the kit a bit, but they have equipped it with an Akrapovic exhaust system with X-pipe and carbon tailpipes, so the sound will make up for that.

Featured Fitment: Rocket Bunny Lexus RC F with PUR LX10.V3 Wheels

Hunting Wrabbit.
Colder temperatures are quickly creeping in and cars are starting to hibernate until spring. This Rocket Bunny Lexus RC F by SR Auto Group isn’t ready to go away just yet – although it has fattened up quite a bit. The black high-performance coupe wears a set of stunning Davinci Red PUR LX10.V3 wheels as well as a new suspension setup to create one superb fitment.

Power is always on tap with the Lexus RC F thanks to its 5.0-liter, naturally-aspirated V-8 engine cranking out 467 horsepower at 7,100 RPM and 389 lb-ft. of torque at 4,800 RPM. The new addition of a full Rocket Bunny kit puts its muscle on full display. An Apexi cat-back exhaust system gives the coupe a louder, more audible presence and features the factory vertical-stack design.
The Lexus RC-F was outfitted with the full Rocket Bunny suit. A new front lip generates some extra downforce as it protrudes forward. Both the front and rear fenders have been generously enlarged and are connected by a new pair of side skirts. A clean rear diffuser integrates the stacked quad exhaust while a massive rear spoiler creates all sorts of downforce for the rear axle.

While the black bodywork of the RC F and its Rocket Bunny kit is menacing, the new PUR LX10.V3 wheels are just as – if not more – impressive visually. The forged, three-piece wheels are made from lightweight and strong 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and feature a concave profile with a unique five split-spoke design.

On the wide and wicked Rocket Bunny Lexus RC F, the PUR LX10.V3 forged wheels measure 10.5 x 20 up front and a mighty 12.0 x 20 at the rear with a deeper concave profile. An eye-catching Gloss Davinci Red finish is worn by the face and the step lip while contrasting black hardware around the inner lip provides a touch of contrast.

To complete the new PUR LX10.V3 fitment, the entire RC F was dropped thanks to a new RSR coilover suspension setup for a clean and flush stance.
This Bunny is going to have a bit of fun before the snow hits and it goes into hiding for the winter.

BMW 650i Gran Coupe xDrive clocked to 622 PS by Noelle Motors

BMW 650i Gran Coupe xDrive clocked to 622 PS by Noelle Motors

German tuner Noelle Motors has applied a series of upgrades on a BMW 650i Gran Coupe xDrive.
In the previous article we talked about the 5-Series Gran Turismo which is perhaps the least attractive model Bavaria has on sale today. At the other end of the design spectrum is probably this, the 6-Series Gran Coupe. Seen here is the high-powered 650i with an all-wheel drive system and a rather elegant copper matte metallic body wrap. It sits on a set of custom 20-inch Y-spoke alloys covered in 245/35 ZR20 front and 275/30 R20 rear Pirelli P Zero tires.
Aside from being drop-dead gorgeous, this 6-Series Gran Coupe is also extremely powerful as the twin-turbo V8 4.4-liter was massaged to squeeze an extra 172 PS (127 kW) and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque. As a result, the motor now churns 622 PS (457 kW) and 773 Nm (571 lb-ft) to enable a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in as little as 3.7 seconds.
To better reflect the added power and improved performance, Noelle Motors replaced the standard instrument dials with the ones from the range-topping M6. The rest of the cabin has remained unchanged and probably it’s for the best as the way it looks now is lovely and complements the exterior quite nicely.

Mercedes C450 dialed to 435 PS and 620 Nm by Lorinser for Essen

Mercedes C450 dialed to 435 PS and 620 Nm by Lorinser for Essen

Lorinser has introduced at the Essen Motor Show a heavily modified Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG 4MATIC.
The tuner is bridging the gap between the C450 and the C63 by infusing more power in the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. After applying its expertise, the motor was upgraded from 367 PS (267 kW) and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) to 435 PS (320 kW) and 620 Nm (458 lb-ft) of torque.
The added punch costs €1,541 and has slashed 0.3 seconds from the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) task which now takes just 4.6 seconds. Lorinser didn’t fiddle around with the electronic top speed limiter, so the car still tops out at 155 mph (250 km/h).
The “C50” package also includes 19-inch wheels with 225/40 R19 front and 255/35 R19 rear Continental SportContact6 tires. You can upgrade to a 20-inch set priced at €10,424 that comes with 245/30 R20 front and 265/30 R20 rubbers from the same provider. The new shoes can be matched with a suspension lowering kit that brings the car closer to the pavement by 30 mm.
The custom body kit available for €7,985 includes brand new front and rear bumpers, side mirror trims, rear deck lid spoiler, and a sports exhaust rear muffler. At an additional cost, Lorinser can also customize the interior cabin with aluminum pedals, illuminated door sills, and floor mats with the tuner’s logo.

BMW M550d Tuned By VOS Is A Diesel With A Lot Of Potential


Diesel isn’t the juice preferred by many high-end tuners, but BMW’s superb turbocharged, 3-litre, straight six, that runs on the forbidden elixir, beckoned for a proper upgrade.
We don't often see diesel-powered cars getting love from aftermarket specialists, but we’ve got a feeling that this particular built will quench our thirst for raw power and torque.
Described as a wolf in sheep’s clothing by VOS, this M550d was upgraded to a respectable amount of grunt, which complies with the tuner’s “Vision of Speed” motto. That’s because after a series of engine tweaks, the German company squeezed 450 PS (443 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque out of the tri-turbocharged, inline-six mill. That’s a significant rise from the 381 PS (375 hp), 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) factory standard.
But bear in mind that it will cost you €2,290 ($2,447) for this kind of upgrade, and the list is not over yet. For instance, for the 8.5x20 and 9.5x20 inches AEZ complete wheel set you’ll have to pay another €2,490 ($2,661), while the high-performance brake system, comprised of Brembo brake disks and four piston calipers mated to high-temperature proof brake pads, will take another €2.695 ($2,878) from your pockets.
Of course, power is nothing without control, and that’s why the tuner is ready to throw in a set of H&R performance springs for €499 ($533). It may seem a little steep, but VOS says these performance upgrades put together will make the M550d one of the fastest diesel –powered cars in the world, since it’s capable of topping 300 kmph (186 mph).
In fact, after all these mods, VOS can proudly cut of the “50d” part from the car’s badge.
