Design-World Ford Mustang GT
German tuning firm Design-World (Marko Mennekes) has released a brand new package for the American Ford Mustang GT. It started off as a completely black Ford Mustang GT, then the tuners decided to add metallic orange CFC films along with white and black to make it extremely unique. New body parts for the Mustang GT include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a stylish front grille. Performance tuning came next.
Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept
While Kawasaki is known for great motorcycle designs, Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld drew up this unique super car concept called the Kawasaki ZX-770R. It was inspired by the KTM X-BOW, which is a four wheel car also made by popular motorcycle manufacturer ABT. This Kawasaki super car would be extremely light, weighing in at only 500 kg or 1,100 pounds. Power would come from a plentiful V6 turbocharged powerplant, which is said to develop a whopping 770 horsepower. This is more than enough for a car this size, and has us questioning if the wheels would even be able to stick to the pavement.
G-Power BMW X5 Typhoon Update
G-Power is at it again, this time updating the Typhoon kit for the BMW X5 with the xDrive48i model.

At the track it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds while reaching an overall top speed of 275 km/h.
The Ultimate Call of Duty Car based on the Hummer H1
With the launch of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in November, Germany car wrapping specialist Cam-Shaft went ahead with the ultimate Call of Duty truck based on the Hummer H1. Video games are becoming more popular day by day, and we are seeing more car tuners incorporate these themes in their designs. What is strange is the fact that you can’t really drive cars in the online multiplayer version of the Call of Duty series. Hopefully in the future they will allow this mode, but games like Battlefield 2 have shown it is difficult to have the games running smoothly with so many different types of vehicles.
DMC Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce SV
The German tuners from DMC have just released their Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce body kit which is based off the popular SV Edition.

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.
