The company that made this hybrid Toyota Prius convertible is called Newport Convertible Engineering [NCE]. Hybrid cars aren’t very well designed, and the guys from NCE thought they could improve this car a lot by making it convertible and adding some cool elements. Even though a lot of people don’t think this car looks too great it’s surely an improvement from the stock car and it looks really well for a hybrid car. You could buy used hybrid cars and try to make them convertible like this one. The car’s tail lights were modified and the interior is fully covered with white. Hybrid cars will be really popular in the future and if you buy a Toyota Prius you could go wild and modify it as you wish. I’ve heard a lot of bad comments about this car but I’m pretty sure it’s a lot better than its stock version.

Delta4x4 is a great tuning company from Germany and as their name suggests, they try to modify 4×4 cars. Their latest project was creating a tuning kit for Toyota Land Cruiser. The car tries to mix manually built elements with modern technology and there were a lot of changes at this car. The engine’s power grew from 286 to 318 HP and now the car could reach a maximum speed of 218 km/h and it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds, which is really fast for a 4×4 car. The guys also modified the car’s braking system, exhaust system and tried to make it less polluting.
As for exterior modifications, Delta4x4 tuning tried to make it shine really nice and installed front and rear guards made from stainless steel. [click to continue…]

TRD comes from Toyota Racing Developement. Since every Toyota has to receive the same treatment from this tuning company, they had to create a special body kit for Toyota Crown too. The new body kit has a wide front bumper, with a sportier grill, side skirts and another elements that modify the car’s overall look. The guys from TRD also modified the car’s suspensions and installed new TRD rims. A lot of people say that this car looks like Infinity but it’s still a great modification. [click to continue…]

You can modify your car to make it look better, to make it handle better or you could turn it into a superb racing car that could impress everyone with it’s performances. This is what the guys from Top Secret have planned to do with this Toyota. Toyota Supra is a great car for tuning because you’ve got numerous options and possibilities to modify it. These guys installed a new body kit that lowers the car to the ground and has a really aerodynamic shape that will improve the car’s performances a bit. But if you’ll open the hood you’ll see what’s the real modification they’ve made at this car. The car has a 6L V12 twin turbo engine that could develop more than 1000 HP and the guys from Top Secret say that it can reach a maximum speed of over 400 km/h. You can imagine how insane is it’s speed. The model will be tested soon at the circuit from Nardo, Italy and then we’ll see how fast this car can be. But until then, i’ll let you enjoy a couple of pictures with this Toyota Supra.
Now, this car is a really strange mixture between Porsche, Toyota and Peugeot but i think the “merge” was done pretty smooth and the result is definitely something unique. I don’t know the name for it, but you could post one here. The base car was a Porsche 928 s4 and the tuners wanted to transform it into a Peugeot combination from Peugeot 406 and 407. You’ll say: “Yeah, I’ve seen other cars transformed from one to the other” but this one has something different. This car also has Toyota elements. The front bumper from a Toyota Avensis has became the rear bumper for this Porsche/Peugeot.
Since exterior was highly modified and you can’t really tell the difference and include this car to a certain car producer, the tuners also modified the car’s original engine, from Peugeot. Now the V8 engine can develop 320 HP and with those wide 18″ rims the car has better handling and a lot more speed.
