Brabus has complemented its already impressive tuning portfolio with yet another entry, a pickup called the P 900 Rocket Edition. The company merged two of its earlier Mercedes G-Class projects in this one, and the result will be produced in a batch of 10 units.

The monster truck runs on the same powertrain as the Brabus Rocket 900. The Mercedes V8 under the hood has been stroked from 4.0 to 4.5 liters of displacement and boosted to 900 PS (888 hp / 662 kW). A nine-speed automatic transmission drives the wheels through a permanent AWD system and three diff locks. You can catch a glimpse of the engine through a see-through window in the hood cover.

In turn, the body comes from the stretched Brabus 800 Adventure XLP Superblack pickup. The main difference is that the Superblack runs on custom portal axles, while the newcomer makes do with the original G-Wagon chassis. The ground clearance is 45 mm (1.8 inches) lower than that of the original Mercedes-AMG G 63, and the driver can adjust damper stiffness straight from the cabin.

Tipping the scales at 2,720 kilograms (6,000 pounds), the truck snaps from standstill and hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. The Rocket 900 SUV mentioned above has the same sprint time despite being around 160 kilos (350 pounds) lighter. The top speed is hard-capped at 280 km/h (174 mph) due to tire limitations.

The demo car shown in the gallery here boasts red accents outside and inside, as well as plenty of backlighting – even the exhaust tips are illuminated. The wheel arches are occupied by 24-inch forged wheels with carbon-fiber trim pieces. The brakes use 400mm rotors at the front axle and 370mm ones in the back.

Brabus is asking a cool €650,000 for the car depicted here before all taxes. This means a €170,000 premium over the Rocket 900, but is still €75,000 under the price tag of the portal-axled 800 Adventure XLP Superblack.

Novitec has a history of tuning luxury vehicles to perfection, but it has been a while since it paid attention to the Italian car marque with the trident logo. Everything changed with the introduction of the Maserati MC20, a perfectly capable sports car with 630 metric horsepower in its command.

It was the first time the company’s Tridente subdivision tackled the all-new 3.0-liter V6 engine, so extreme power gains were probably not the point. It still succeeded in raising the output to 711 PS (701 hp / 523 kW) and the torque from its usual 730 Nm to 818 Nm (from 538 to 603 lb-ft, respectively).

As a result, the MC20 was able to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, shaving off one tenth of a second from the standard sprint time, and ultimately reached 325 km/h (202 mph).

Those interested in the upgrade may also order an understated carbon-fiber body kit that avoids clashing with the original design of the car, a 25mm (1-inch) suspension lowering kit, and any of a large number of interior upgrades. Rounding off the list are exhaust tips available in several finishes including forged carbon.

Tridente did not reveal any pricing details.

For those who think their BMW X5 M doesn’t look enough like an elephant in a china shop straight from the factory, Hamann now offers a styling option that dials the ostentatiousness factor to the proverbial eleven.

The exterior of the SUV, which is now officially known as The Big Red, is awash in a shade known as M Toronto Red Metallic, opposed by some black accents and carbon-fiber trim pieces. The wheels in the arches are Hamann’s own Anniversary Evo 23” set sporting multiple black spokes and a red stripe on the inner rim. Thanks to custom suspension springs, the SUV sits 40 mm (1.6 inches) lower than stock on the front axle and 35 mm (1.4 inches) lower on the rear one.

The read-and-black theme continues into the cabin, where the center console boasts rich carbon-fiber décor and the steering wheel bears the tuner’s logo. Everything stays stock under the hood.

According to Hamann, a tune-up on this scale will set you back at least €15,000, which includes €6,620 for the wheels.

As the era of total electrification is looming closer each passing day, conservative-minded tuning shops risk running out of business. AC Schnitzer obviously doesn’t want that fate, as evidenced by the tuning program it just launched for the all-electric BMW i4.

The exterior of the Bavarian sedan gets a front splitter, side winglets for the front bumper, spoilers on the roof and the trunk lid and quarter-panel trim bits. For wheels, you can choose between AC1 (5-spoke, 2 finish options, 19/20 inches) and AC4 Flow Forming (dual-5-spoke, 2 finish options, 20 inches only). Spacers are available to help the rims fit perfectly within their arches, and in-house springs can be used to drop the ride height by 20-25 mm (0.8-1 in).

Interior niceties include aluminum pedal pads, a footrest out of the same metal, a keyholder and a black drive mode dial. The powertrain stays untouched, which for the single-motor versions means rear-wheel-drive and either 285 or 340 metric horsepower (281 or 335 U.S. hp; 210 or 250 kW, respectively). The dual-motor M50 spec delivers a total of 544 PS (536 hp / 400 kW) to its four wheels.

Many Porsche brand fans never cease to wonder how the company manages to improve its already nigh-perfect 911, but every next generation brings something great to the table. Just as inexplicable are the working of G-Power, the aftermarket shop that released a major power boost for the 992-gen Turbo S model.

The tuning included specialized engine control software, an in-house-designed boost air cooler and a full exhaust system complete with high-flow filters and catalysts. Once everything was installed and tuned to perfection, the 911 slammed the dyno with 800 PS (789 hp / 588 kW) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of torque, an improvement of 150 PS and 150 Nm over the original.

Those who say dyno specs mean nothing may be interested to learn that the car now hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.3 seconds and doubles that acceleration in another 4.95 seconds. The stock coupe manages the same in 2.7 and 8.9 seconds, respectively. To get a taste of what it feels like, just watch the video, you’ll see. Spoiler alert: it’s scary.

Anyone interested in having their 911 (992) Turbo S upgraded by G-Power may avail themselves to a number of other aftermarket options as wells, notably including Hurricane RR- and RS-series forged wheels, carbon body trim and even a complete interior makeover.

Ringbrothers, a name widely associated in the automotive world with high quality restorations and engine swaps, has finished working on a one-off Ford Mustang 1964.5 Convertible, having invested over 4,200 hours of hard work into the project.

Going by the name of CAGED, this Mustang wasn’t just rebuilt from scratch – the truth is even more exciting. While an amateur might mistake it for a normal restomod scraped together from surviving OEM and continuation parts, it is actually a completely new car built with the original’s design and proportions in mind. Per Ringbrothers, the hubcaps on the wheels might be the only parts left stock here.

Everything else – the chassis and frame, the body and cabin, and the engine with the transmission – is new. The whole was finished in a glorious shade of dark red with a high gloss finish, white and black accents and a black cloth top. Things like Penske Racing RS Edition shocks and Baer brakes result in a modern and enjoyable driving experience. A 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood helps keep things exciting by driving the rear wheels through a ten-speed A/T.

There will be no second Mustang like this in the world, Ringbrothers says carefully avoiding the subject of costs.

Cars like the all-electric Audi RS E-Tron GT are challenging to customize because they tend to look their best straight from the factory, and experimenting with the formula often hurts more than it helps. Wojciech Malag, from Turismo Wheels in Poland, took the risk and was quite successful.

Mods begin on the outside with a Maxton body kit, which is the centerpiece of the new design and consists of a lower front spoiler, widened side skirts and a more aggressive-looking rear diffuser. Air-ride components along with KW springs drop the ride height about as far as it will go while still allowing enough space for 22-inch Turismo Inventa carbon-fiber wheels to rotate inside their arches.

Powering the high-end sports car its original dual-motor drivetrain rated at 646 PS (637 hp / 475 kW) and 830 Nm (612 lb-ft) of torque. Sprinting from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) lasts as little as 2.85 seconds, but the top speed is electronically capped at 255 km/h (158 mph).

The Bavarian tuning experts at Novitec have come up with a large-scale upgrade plan for the splendid McLaren 765LT Spider. Given how high the bar already is, one has to admire how much was accomplished on top of that.

Starting with the main thing, the stock eight-cylinder engine under the hood gets intake and exhaust upgrades to hit the wheels with record-breaking 855 PS (843 hp / 629 kW) and 898 Nm (662 lb-ft) of torque. It also reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, proceeds to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.7 seconds and maxes out well beyond 330 km/h (205 mph) – all formidable numbers for a roofless Spider.

Further helping the performance are high-tech Vossen wheels available in as many as 73 finish options. The front axle gets 20-inch rollers and the rear axle benefits from larger 21-inch rims. The suspension drops by another 20 mm (0.8 inches) or so thanks to Novitec springs, and a carbon-fiber aerodynamic kit rounds things off with considerable style.

As per the tradition, the tuning company invites customers to decide on the interior makeover they want. Leather and Alcantara can be applied in any number of combinations, ensuring the exclusivity and uniqueness of every example built.

Many of us will agree that the 2-Series is a driver-focused, sporty-feeling coupe straight from the factory. For the rest of us, tuning shop AC Schnitzer will be offering dozens of aftermarket parts and options starting in late summer.

The car is expected to get a front splitter for improved front-axle downforce, a two-piece rear spoiler and a roof spoiler. Special spacers can add 12 mm (0.3”) to the track width, while new suspension springs can drop the ride height by 20-25 mm (0.8”-1”). New light alloy wheels sized 19” and 20” will provide a viable replacement for the heavy stock rims.

Interior novelty boils down to small improvements like aluminum paddle shifters, pedal pads and kick plates, as well as a sports steering wheel wrapped in leather and artificial suede. Owners of the M240i model (regardless whether xDrive or not) can opt for a power boost to 420 PS (414 hp / 309 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque.

New entries may be added to the catalog later. Prices should become available closer to the sales launch in late August.

Novitec has rolled out a full customization program for the part-electric Ferrari SF90 Stradale that sees it transformed into a real badass with more thrust than ever before.

Moving straight to the point, the car now gets 1,109 metric horsepower from its hybrid powertrain (1,094 hp / 816 kW). The stock value is 1,000 PS (986 hp / 735 kW), and an earlier Novitec tune only managed to raise it to 1,033 PS (1,019 hp / 760 kW).

Bolstered like this, the supercar zaps from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds and from standstill to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.3 seconds. The top speed remains to be determined, but the company claims it exceeds 340 km/h (211 mph).

Exterior modifications start with the enlarged splitter, elegant canards surrounding the front bumper, ventilated arches (these were missing from the original project) and a plethora of carbon-fiber trim pieces. The arches are still occupied by 21-inch Vossen wheels, but you can always pick a different model on the tuner’s website. Novitec recommends dropping the suspension by a further 30 mm (1.2”) at the front and 25 mm (1”) at the rear, and installing a lift kit on the front axle to conquer the otherwise insurmountable obstacles, like mild speed bumps.

The interior gets an optional makeover in natural leather and Alcantara, and the exhaust system can be swapped for any of a large number of aftermarket options available. The best one is gold-plated for maximum heat dissipation.

Novitec stays silent about the prices as usual, but points out that most parts will be compatible with the Spider version as well.
