The German tuners from DMC have just released their Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce body kit which is based off the popular SV Edition. Starting off with the body kit, DMC redesigned the front and rear bumpers to increase downforce, then added a SV style diffuser. All these parts are made in pure carbon fiber by an Autoclave Vacuum oven. The exhaust you see exiting the rear holds a rear silencer, but customers have the option of extending the look with a sport metallic catalytic converter. Now let’s move onto the important facts, the performance tuning for the Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce come next.

Cadillac Ciel is a Fancy Concept
With the confirmation of the three new Cadillac’s entering the production line, they have decided to impress the masses with this Cadillac Ciel concept car. Hard to say if this will go into production in the next couple years, mainly because Cadillac has released concepts like this in the past with no follow up. They do however have the new large XTS luxury saloon, the ATS compact to rival the BMW 3-Series, and the all new ELR Coupe plug-in hybrid EV for the green crowd.

Here is the first official take on the Ferrari 599 by the tuner Vorsteiner.

Hennessey Lotus Exige Venom GT
The new Hennessey tuned Lotus Exige called the Venom GT has been debuted at the McCall Motorworks Revival. This was part of the buildup for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and features the Lotus supercar announcement with all of its 1,200 horsepower greatness. Hennessey plans to produce five of these cars per year at a price of $950,000 (€660,190 / £577,850). It may sound like a lot for a Lotus Exige, but with the sports car holding a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant producing 1,200 hp (895 kW / 1,217 PS) and 1,155 lb-ft (1,564 Nm) of torque, we are sure some car collectors will pick this beast up.
Gymkhana FOUR Video
Ken Block and his tuned Ford Fiesta along with DC Shoes have teamed up once again to present the new video for Gymkhana FOUR, which is definitely 4 the win! After the previous three were such a hit, it was going to be tough to make the Gymkhana FOUR different from the rest. However, they succeeded with the help of director Ben Conrad using pyrotechnics, crazy stunts, and insane tricks in the fourth installment. A cameo from the Epic Meal Time guys is also seen about halfway through and at the end. Bringing it all together are memories from Jaws, Back to the Future, Zombieland, and Slumdog Millionaire. Did we forget to mention the gorillas and Segways also in Gymkhana FOUR?
Dragon Gullwing Mercedes SLS Concept by M.R.Khosravi Design
An interesting design concept has been sent to us from MR Khosravi Design called the Dragon Gullwing and based on the Mercedes SLS AMG. While we’re curious to hear the reaction from the car tuning enthusiasts, this is definitely the most unique take on the Mercedes SLS that we’ve seen to date. On the exterior you will notice new doors that when closed will extend to the rear of the car. Dragon heads shooting out the front appear to hold the headlights, while the new wheel spokes resemble a dragon claw. The inside has a crazy custom feel that looks almost too futuristic to be true.
Pagani Huayra Set To Debut in US in 2013
One of the most amazing cars in the world, the Pagani Huayra, is planned to debut on US show floors in 2013. This comes after the US Department of Transportation announced the car would not be allowed in America because of the lacking airbag system. Pagani plans to change this problem with the Huayra, so they will be able to manufacture 15 units at a price of $1,375,000, and an extra $374,000 for the airbag upgrade to make it street legal. With that cost you’d expect it to have some gold plated airbag covers inside, but instead you’ll find an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin turbo V12 engine under the hood producing more than 700 horsepower and 1,000 newton meters of torque.
