Recent images of the Porsche Panamera Stingray concept by the Russian tuning firm TopCar have been released showing a new body kit that looks impressive. This is just a rendering for now, since it appears these pictures have been photoshopped. The body kit is called the Stingray and we’re wondering if there is any resemblance to the old Chevy Corvette Stingray design. Russian tuning company Cardi helped TopCar in designing the aerodynamic kit which consists of several carbon fiber body parts and panels. New alloy wheels are part of the package for the Porsche Panamera along with new bumpers, air vents in the front bumper, side skirts, and a new rear wing.

The lastest work from the well known Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari tuners at INDEN-Design shows a new tuning kit for the Mercedes SL 500. Receiving a completely new body kit from the Mercedes SL 65 AMG, the SL 500 has a more sporty appearance. The car was hooked up with large custom chrome wheels measuring 20×10.5 in the front, and 20×11.75 in the rear wrapped in 255/30/20 and 305/25/20 high performance Pirelli tires. The stance of the car was important to INDEN-Design, so they installed a ABC-sport suspension kit that can lower the vehicle up to 50 mm. The new SL 65 AMG body kit on the Mercedes SL 500 really transforms the car with the new front spoiler, rear bumper, carbon fiber diffuser, side skirts, rear spoiler, and aftermarket rear lights.

Sportservice Lorinser is a well known tuning firm with long traditions customizing Mercedes-Benz cars including the E-Class model pictured here. They have honored the Mercedes E-Class W212 premium limousine with a new stylish look. Re-designing the front, Lorinser added an all-black grille that is the center of attention. A front spoiler lip was installed underneath that extends farther than the stock bumper for a more aggressive look along with the LED lights. The middle of the front bumper was painted a different color to emphasize the grilles in the fenders, as well as the side skirts which also have vents towards the rear. Furthermore, the rear of the Mercedes E-Class features a new bumper with diffuser kit and roof spoiler for an extra sporty look.
