700-hp Mercedes SLS Roadster by Brabus Unveiled

As we all are already used to Brabus making all these cool projects all around the auto world, now it has announced another creation. Based on a 700-hp Mercedes SLS Roadster, the latest project will be revealed at the Essen Motor Show.


Unfortunately, nothing official has been yet released about the specifications of this car, but we are able to guess some details because of its similarity with the hard-top Barbus SLS, and because of the fact that Brabus recipe remains always the same. A subtle yet effective body kit, huge wheels in black, upgraded brakes, springs, active body control, and a reinforced gearbox to handle the torque of the heavily tuned engine.






We think that due to the fact that the Roadster’s characteristics are different than its brothers, the aero kit is slightly different, being re-engineered.

Once again, Lorinser hits us with a new project, this time not yet unveiled or to be unveiled very soon. The new styling package for the W166 Mercedes M-Class is currently under development and is scheduled to be revealed early next year, at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March. But until then, Lorinser has cooled down the anxiety with an official rendering in order to give us an idea about what the car will look like.

As for a few details about the project, the package for the 2012 Mercedes M-Class will feature an aggressive front fascia which includes a revised bumper, new air intakes, LED daytime running lights and an upgraded grille.

2012 Mercedes ML-Class By Brabus

After announcing the new tuning ackage for the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster, Brabus is proving itself very hardworking. The German tuner has switched their focus again on another Mercedes model, the new generation ML-Class.


The new project is onto a customary exterior and some interior updates, as well as a significant power increase.


Even though the new ML-Class was already in a very agressive and wel shaped form, it has been upgraded a a little bit more inorder to enhance its qualities. An “On Road” front spoiler with attachments for the air inlets in the front fascia, new sill skirts, a new rear spoiler, and a dual or quad sport exhaust system support their effort in bring the SUV to the next level. To complete this part of the tuning process, a new set of wheels ranging from 18″ to 22,” depending on the choice of the customer has been added.

Range Rover Evoque by Startech

The Essen Motor Show has been a very abundant event in matters of tuning this year, bringing tto us among many other tuning projects, a British model, namely the new Range Rover Evoque which received a complete treatment from the Startech tuners.


Starting with the power, the tuning company offered the 2.0-liter gasoline unit 240 horsepower but released no new performance figures due to the fact that it is still work in progress. The good part is that according to Startech, this is the final stage of development, reason for which the technical details will be available pretty soon.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake Spy Shots

The long-rumored--and long-overdue--wagon variant of the stunning Jaguar XF has finally been spotted in prototype form, caught while testing near Jaguar’s headquarters in the UK.

This time around we’re sure Jaguar was happy to have our spy photographers snap up these latest shots, as publicized by the large “Sportbrake” banner plastered on the side of the prototype.


With its sleek styling but practical five-door body, Jaguar’s Sportbrake name symbolizes the combination of elements from a shooting brake, which traditionally only has two doors, with a sleek wagon, often referred to as a sportback.

2012 Nissan GT-R best car nominee

the Nissan GT-R nevertheless has a loyal following and a legitimate place among the world's top super cars, despite its list price checking in below $100,000.


For 2012, the GT-R gets some significant upgrades, including more power and torque, up to 523 hp and 451 lb-ft, while also securing better fuel economy ratings. The extra power comes from more turbo boost, altered valve timings and air-fuel mixtures, plus more free-flowing intake and exhaust systems.

The exterior of the new GT-R also gets some upgrades, with improved aerodynamics that cut drag from 0.27 to 0.26 and about 10 more downforce for improved high-speed handling. Larger grille openings, an new rear bumper with extended diffuser, and LED daytime running lights plus six new exterior colors round out the upgrades--a significant refresh for an existing model, and, together with the mechanical improvements, enough to make it eligible for this year's award.
