Carzone Specials Magic Ibiza

Carzone Special is one of a few companies that go the way of future style. Maybe someone wouldn’t agree but this Ibiza is really futuristic. There are just two groups of people – those who love their creations and those who hate. It’s only up to you how you decide, but maybe this project called Shogun may help you.

The bodykit consists of front bumper with mask, rear bumper and side sills too. So the front bumper is connected with the mask that still has its typical opening for the Seat badge. Ther is a pair of new skewed openings that looks like a spaceship; it’s because of massive opening in the middle and four side ones.

O.CT Tuning Fiat 500

O.CT Tuning Fiat 500

The Fiat 500 is one of the most popular tiny cars on the market and i’ve seen a lot of different companies that tried to modify cars like this one. O.CT hasn’t done too many modifications at the car’s interior and they tried to maintain the car’s classic look. They lowered the suspension and they’ve installed a new set of rims that are fully painted with black. The engine is the car’s part that suffered a lot of modifications. From the initial 75 HP, the small 1.3L Multijet engine could develeop about 90 HP after installing a new engine cooling unit.  The maximum torque is now 180 Nm and for a small car like this one, you’ll surely see a difference at acceleration. This Fiat 500 could reach 100 km/h in just 12.9s.

Wald Sports Line Black Bison Edition S-Class

Wald International have revealed their first exterior tuning kit for the new Mercedes S-Class. The company is really good when it comes to exterior modifications at any car and this Mercedes they’ve created is simply amazing. The new body kit is made from front and rear bumpers, new side skirts and new spoilers. The car is fully painted in black and i think everyone will love it. You can choose for this car 20″ or 22″ Wald Rims that are also painted with black and create a extrodinary visual effect. But they haven’t stopped only at exterior modifications. They’ve worked at the car’s interior where they installed a lot of carbon fiber elements, a sport steering wheel and other elements that make the car look sportier.

BMW M5 by G-Power

When we reffer to a BMW “M” series we know that the car is a sporting luxury one made by the best BMW engineers. Owning a car like this one is probably a dream for each of us and even though the price is a bit high, it’s surely worth every penny. The BMW M5 has one of the most powerful engines of 2006, an engine that could reach over 500 HP at 7,750 rpm. Even though the car’s really beautiful from stock, the guys from G-Power thought it could use their touch. They tried to make the car’s exterior more stylish and added a lot of carbon fiber elements that would also make that lighter. New front bumper is really elegant, side skirts match the car’s design perfectly and in the rear part a new rear bumper that includes a diffuser improving air low under the car.

Mercedes G-Class by Art Tuning

Mercedes G-Class by Art Tuning

There are a lot of people that don’t like G-Class from Mercedes. When you’re looking at it, you don’t get that luxury feel from other Mercedes cars, the car’s design seems antique and with all those corners i think no one will be impressed by a G-Class. That’s why the guys from Art Tuning tried to modify this car. They wanted to give it a new look, a sportier appearance and to improve it’s performances. They’ve created a special tuning kit called A55K which could be used to modify a Mercedes G55K and a G55. The engine’s power is bigger now and they’ve also rewritten the maximum speed of this car.

Volkswagen Tuareg by ABT

Volkswagen Tuareg by ABT

ABT always tries to improve every car they modify and now they’ve tried to modify this lovely Volkswagen Tuareg. I’ve seen a lot of people that would like to own a Tuareg but let’s admit it… the prices are a bit too high for people with regular wages. If you will buy a Tuareg one day, you’ll surely afford to modify it as ABT does. They’ve created a special sport package for a Tuareg 3.0 TDI. This tuning kit will bring more power for the car’s engine, bringing it to 300 HP from those initial 225 HP and the maximum torque is now bigger with 100 Nm. The car has gained a lot in speed and it’s performances are really great for a 4×4 car.

Corvette C6 ZX-1 by Karvajal Designs

Corvette C6 ZX-1 by Karvajal Designs

Corvette is probably one of the best cars americans made and when it’s modified by several tuning companies you always get a great sports car that will amaze everyone. The guys from Karvajal Designs created an interesting 3d project to modify this Corvette that looks pretty good. There aren’t too many tuning companies that try to create a 3d project first and after that they’ll start modifying the car. In this case, the modified car is slightly different than the 3d project. The project was more agressive, sportier and it had some nice colors but it’s probably harder to create a car in the real world than in virtual reality.

Lorinser Mercedes SL Nardo3

Mercedes SL is a great car but Lorinser has decided that they could modify it to look and perform better. The Lorinser Mercedes SL was tested at Nardo circuit and also received the codename Lorinser Mercedes SL Nardo3. The tuning company modified the car’s V12 sl65amg engine a bit and the car could now reach an incredible speed of 325 km/h. The modified engine could develop about 660 HP and a maximum torque of over 1000 Nm. Since they wanted to give this car a unique feeling they also modified the car’s body by adding new elements to the car’s body kit.

Königseder Opel GT’aime

Königseder Opel GT’aime

Opel GT was considered the best convertible car in 2007 with one of the greatest designs and best features. One year later Konigseder thought that it’s standard design could use a couple of modifications and started to improve an Opel GT. The brought this lovely car a new design and a couple of engine improvements too. The front side was a changed by adding a new spoiler below the front bumper that gives the car a more aggressive look and i bet it also helps a lot with car’s aerodynamics. The rear side of the car was changed by installing new tail lights and a rear wing that co-ordinates perfectly with the car’s front side.

Mitsubishi RA

At Detroit Auto Show there were a lot of new car concepts revealed, some of them simply beautiful and others not so impressive but one car surely impressed everyone: Mitsubishi RA. This new Mitsubishi concept is a coupe diesel car with an ultraseductive design. That red color makes it look like it’s alive, the rims with a design like a spider web add more details to this car and everything seems to fit right. The car is equipped with one of the best diesel engines, 2.2L 16 V with four cylinders that could develop 240 HP and a maximum torque of 420 Nm.

Ocean Twingo GTRS II

Ocean Twingo GTRS II

Renault Twingo is perfect car for you if you’re living in small cities. I have to say that i don’t like it’s design at all when i see a stock Renault Twingo and i won’t buy a car like that probably. Ocean Evenement tried to modify this small, cute car, to be sportier, nicer, with a completely different look. This new Twingo has received a new body kit that brings the car closer to the ground and makes it look more aggressive. Also, those 18″ rims add a stylish touch to this car and i have to say that paint job was brilliant.
