Mansory hasn’t revealed any information about their latest project: a modified Bugatti Veyron Vincero but the exotic car dealer Prestige Cars from United Arab Emirates already posted this car for sale. According to them only three examples have been built. From the pictures we can see that the Veyron-based Vincero features a carbon fiber hood and engine cover, an awesome paint job that’s perfectly matched with a set of black alloy wheels and a lot of other carbon fiber elements. The car’s interior was also improved a lot and “luxury” is a word too small to describe the comfort from this ride. The guys from Mansory reupholstered the interior in black and white with carbon fiber trim.

We’ve seen Geiger modifying a lot of sport cars like Dodge Viper but they wanted a new challenge and started to modify a Hummer H3 V8 Kompressor. They made a special body kit for this ride with no rear spare tire and they installed a lot of carbon fiber elements in the car’s interior. This Hummer has almost the same weight as the stock car but it’s performances were improved a lot. The stock H3 had an engine with 300 HP and this one by Geiger has a 5.3L V8 engine which could deliver 423 HP. You couldn’t imagine a huge car like this one accelerate in just 7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h but this H3 could do that.

The car tuners were really busy in 2008 and they revealed some breathtaking tuning packages. We love extreme modifications, unique and impressive cars and here are the top 10 modified cars for 2008 to salivate over:
