Mercedes G Class Tuning by Brabus

How beastly impressive Mercedes G-Class in his normal outfit though, each tuner wants it in a tracksuit stop. It also demonstrates the Brabus car festival in Essen in the form of B63 - 620 Wide Star.

This concerns not exactly compact name, but that word is therefore not at all in the vocabulary of B63 - 620 Wide Star. Let the name for convenience even decipher. The B stands for natural Brabus and 63 refers to the model from which it is derived. That is the G 63 AMG into the regular version a thrust of 544 bhp. But not in this version. Here comes namely 620 come for the maximum power of the Mercedes G-Class state. No less than 620 hp so, 76 hp more than the original meaning of the SUV also even faster. The sprint from zero to one hundred, the German in 5.1 seconds and top speed is limited to 230 km / h. That was 5.4 seconds and 210 km / h.

Interior

Tough, tougher, G-Class Brabus
But we still miss the term Wide Star in our description. Perhaps you happen to have a look at the pictures looked and then you know exactly where the addition of stores. What a tremendously impressive transport is this Mercedes G-Class has become. Can it even tougher, we wonder at the sight of the heavily exaggerated Fender, the large vents and massive 23-inch alloy wheels. We think not.

Lexus LFA Prepared by pur Wheels

Lexus LFA: Prepared by PUR Wheels. Without a doubt, the Lexus LFA model is one of the most impressive of the manufacturer. Unfortunately, has been confirmed by the highest representatives none of the prototypes that were recently will finally see the light, claiming that they show an overly futuristic image. However, PUR Wheels, a leading manufacturer of custom rims, has dealt with preparing their own version of the Lexus LFA, offering a tuned picture of a vehicle that was already impressive series, with a few more radical lines and preserving benefits.

PUR Wheels is not a House that is dedicated to the preparation of vehicles, since their business is to fabricate all types of tires according to the needs of all customers looking for unique products to their vehicles, made to measure. But occasionally also dare to dream preparations. PUR Wheels also starred in the modification of a McLaren MP4-12 c, using the model to promote your tires.

Now presents the preparation of the Lexus LFA, a unique customization with very few units available, for a lucky few looking for unique to their sport tires, end up opting for the full pack with the included vehicle.

Aerodynamics in its purest form
The exterior aesthetics is very similar to the Lexus Nürburgring version, which had been announced for the end of this year. What happened exactly is that Lexus has stalled this project on a permanent basis, and with the appropriate permission has been PUR Wheels who has taken the reins and is responsible for its development. In addition, another custom element has some incorporated to acquire a more radical and unique image.

PUR Wheels project is called by the same firm as Red Pearl (red Pearl), and its name refers to the color of the body completely in red passion, with the exception of grilles and air intakes, incorporating metal elements painted in black.

The way that acquires this vehicle is typical of a racing car racing and in a certain way, reminds us to the Nissan GT-R, a high-performance sports that certainly has very little name so it is able to do. Lexus LFA amended comes with a rear spoiler of big dimensions and we should highlight in its exterior, as no, wheels exclusive to promote own products of the House. Tires black with light gray throat and measures 21″, nothing to do with which theoretically should appear on the Nürburgring Edition.

For what it does to the benefits, have been preserved in an identical way regard the conventional version. The reason is that it has a V10 Engine with a power of 570CV, features compelling for all kinds of public interested in a vehicle from these characteristics and very high.

Characteristics that this limited and totally exclusive version of the Lexus LFA are strongly to the release Nürburgring, which ran for several months in the Green hell, marking records.

Coyote Cobra Superformance MKIII roadster powered by the Mustang’s 5 0L V8

We were smitten with the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 the second we got behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. We described the 412 horsepower engine as “a pot of pure honey” as well as “intoxicating,” and said that the “5.0-liter V8 pulls like a jet airliner.” With a curb weight of just over 3,600 pounds, the Mustang GT is not as bloated as the Camaro, but by no means a lightweight. Would we like the 5.0L even more if it had less mass to push around?

That’s what Superformance had in mind with its latest creation. The maker of Shelby-licensed Cobra replicas has installed a Coyote 5.0-liter crate motor into one of its MKIII Roadsters, creating a combination of classic styling with the best of Ford’s modern powertrains. The engine wedges snugly into the front of the car, and only a custom air intake and headers are all that are needed to make everything fit.

We stopped by Superformance to get a closer look at the car, and came away with some photos and even some video of it in action. Check out the high-res gallery of the car below, and follow the jump to watch the video and hear what the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 sounds like without mufflers.

Buying guide E55 AMG by Mercedes Benz

The E55 AMG of Mercedes-Benz is a game changer. Under £20k, a used E55 AMG is of great value. With this post we list down tips on what to look for when buying one.

Brakes

The pads and discs are reasonably priced at around £450 per set. Fitting the brakes will add a bit to the tag especially when the brake fluid will be changed. This generation of Benz requires you to plug it to a computer when you change the fluid.

Cabin

When you get an E55 with high specs you can expect that the cabin will have a ton of gadgets. You have to take note that these systems will be expensive to fix.

Chassis

The brand speaks for itself through the years and it has been known to produce tough chassis with no weak joints or bushes.

Engine

The powerplant of the E55 is hand-built and you will be able to see the names of the persons who assembled it.

Bodystyle

You only have an option between a saloon or an estate. The wagon is easier to put again onto the market later, and still you can give it a good price.

Wheels and tires

Every corner will cost you about £200. We advise that you avoid the aftermarket rims since an original wheel set on the car that is chip-free will give a hint of a careful owner who is careful with parking or spent some sum to take care of the car.

Renault Modus will be replaced by a small crossover

Renault Modus will be replaced by a small crossover. The Renault minivan that began shipping in mid-2008, the Renault Modus, most likely will be discontinued and replaced by a small crossover, as published by the journal engine Automotive News Europe, with information based on sources within the French firm itself. The new crossover will be built in Spain, and will draw on the Pickups, but still kept the concept secret, kept from the eyes of potential spies. Outside the carriers, in the crossover ...

The Renault Modus was a minivan that was first marketed in 2008. It was available with two petrol engines and three diesels, with power between 75 and 106 hp. The finishes were two: Authentiq and Dynamic.

Details substitute inspiration of Pickups
Right now the Renault Modus minivan will cease to exist. The 2008 model of the motor home gala, no more will be built in Spain. The replacement model will be a crossover type Pickups, with who seek their own market share Europe, according to that motor magazine gala.

Will have to wait just twelve months, and that next year will begin marketing, but for now know the specific date of submission. Anyway, considering the short time to market, right now on the table we have the first spy photos on the cover of any publication of the engine.

Spanish manufacturing
most cuidoso part is that, the new MPV will be built in Spain, particularly in Valladolid. It will have a presence similar to the Nissan Juke ", although we hope to provide a touch more familiar with full guarantees to replace the Renault Modus, and become so in the best of the Crossover, at least the one that best optimizes your space.

As I stressed before, completely unknown to the design of the substitute, but it sure will shades of the concept car Pickups. The last time I saw the prototype was in Geneva Motor Show held in 2011.

Bodies hit the market with three and five doors, thus starting a new range of SUVs composed of two models of the same firm. Its most direct competition is the Nissan Qashqai and another by size, would be the X Trail.

In short, Renault attempts to place a bet too risky. First because there are versions of the same range, are of a different segment. And then that should give the new crossover, a dash of family model it replaces.
