The newest 2021 BMW 128ti sees the comeback of the model suffix ‘ti’, which stands for ‘Turismo Internazionale’. Having said that, international travel enthusiasts should probably check out dÄhler’s improved version first.

The Swiss tuner upgrades the stock 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with an ECU tune and a stainless steel exhaust system complete with active valves and ceramic-plated finishers. As a result, the power goes up from 270 to 317 PS (265 – 313 hp; 200 – 233 kW) and the maximum torque from 400 to 500 Nm (295 – 370 lb-ft).

To keep things in check, the company proposes height-adjustable suspension springs and new 20×8 Ultralight alloy wheels. An exception can be made for the braking system, which dÄhler claims is more than adequate straight from the factory.

Those who feel like letting everyone around them know they drive a custom car may opt for a badass-looking front splitter, a massive roof wing and a silver pinstripe decal. Interior gimmicks boil down to the usual – new upholstery, aluminum pedal pads and floor mats say it all.

A recent Bring a Trailer ad is offering a 47-year-old Toyota Celica coupe for sale with barely 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of use since restoration. Spare parts, tools, a record and build details are included with the lot.

Bell’s AutoSport workshop based in California carried out the project, stripping the body clean and removing any rust before re-painting it in vivid blue. Additions included a front spoiler, AP Racing mirror caps, Lexan glass, and LED-based lighting all around.

Fashionable 15-inch XXR wheels occupied the arches shod in Nitto NT05 205/50 tires, and the suspension and brakes were reinforced to modern standards. Steering also received its fair share of improvements.

Looking inside, one can find BRAUM bucket seats wrapped in black leather and blue jeans fabric. Aluminum accents can be found on the center console, the dashboard and the door panels, and the steering wheel is a quick-release Momo Prototipo model.

Powering the ride is a somewhat more recent, yet not nearly modern 3S-Ge engine linked to a six-speed manual gearbox and RWD. We do not have the specs, unfortunately.

As you may see, this is not exactly what you would call a pure restoration, so Celica purists should probably look for their dream ride elsewhere. On the other hand, as a modern car with classic looks, this restomod seems to tick all the boxes.

At the beginning of the year, Brabus announced a tuning kit for the latest-gen Mercedes-AMG A45 S, but the pricing details have not been revealed until now.

Getting your own hot hatch with the tuner’s B logo costs €89,131. The price includes taxes in Germany, where you can pay €82,500 for a new BMW M3. Even a Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 comes second at €83,385.

Is there a point in forking over so much for an A-Class? Well, that’s up to your preferences. It’s still a performance car boosted to 450 PS (444 hp / 331 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. It can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) mere 3.7 seconds from the start, which is 0.2s faster than stock. Top speed stays unchanged at 270 km/h (168 mph).

Elsewhere, the A45 S enjoys a 30mm (1.2”) reduction in ride height, 20-inch alloys wrapped in Continental rubber, and a few interior niceties such as aluminum side plates and pedal pads. Rounding things off are the mandatory branded velour mats.

Back when it debuted in 1975, the Porsche 930 Turbo coupe was considered Germany’s fastest production car bar none. Those who still desired more style and individuality for their money went after its modded version, the Rinspeed R69.

Rinspeed had only ever built 12 such cars, putting each one into a body not unlike that of the Ferrari Testarossa, but with Porsche 944-style pop-up headlights and taillights. The sides evolved monstrous gill-like formations, and the rear became wider and more stylistically mature.

The 3.3-liter flat-six intercooled engine under the hood was allowed to stay stock. A four-speed manual transmission hit the wheels with 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW), getting the sports car from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds – a decent figure even by modern standards.

The 1983 Rinspeed R69 is reported to be in excellent overall condition, with a fresh paint coat and a slightly worn interior. The asking price is £50,000.

Singer Vehicle Design has wrapped up working on a 1989 Porsche 964, converting the sports coupe into the ultimate restomod. Singer Board Chairman Rob Dickinson himself test-drove the car and said it was ‘a fantastic experience’.

The company will now be issuing 75 such cars in Great Britain, all powered by a purpose-built 4.0-liter, quad-valve, naturally aspirated flat-six engine co-designed with the legendary Porsche designer Hans Mezger. The air-cooled mill can rev up to 9,000 RPM and produces 500 PS (493 hp / 368 kW).

Ordering your own copy with an aerodynamically perfect carbon fiber body is a matter of having a spare $1,800,000 USD or more.

Serious off-roaders usually eschew comfort in return for maximum utility, but the Ford Ranger Luxury Pre-Runner accepts no such compromises. It can plow through the worst of dirt and dust and still manage to keep its deluxe cabin squeaky clean.

California-based tuner RJ Fabrication and its founder Rob Lindsay made every effort to tune the compact-sized Ranger completely out of proportion. Our favorite highlights include the Raptor front fascia, the tubular framework underneath the chassis, and the bed filled with exposed hardware, such as Fox shocks and coolers, as well as two spare wheels.

The team put the truck on Summer Brother tires and high-end coilovers whose travel amounted to 512 mm (20 inches) in the front and 717 mm (28 inches) at the rear. A Chevrolet Iron Big Block V8 assumed its place under the hood, hitting the wheels with 690 PS (680 hp / 507 kW). With all of the above in consideration, we cannot imagine an off-road obstacle this Ranger wouldn’t be able to conquer.

The car – which also packs a luxurious cabin – took four years and a half to build, and cost a whopping $350,000 USD. Be sure to watch the video where Rob puts his creation through a series of rigorous off-road tests at full throttle.

1016 Industries has been looking into mass-producing 3D printed carbon fiber parts for supercars for a long time, and has now proudly introduced its first completed project, a McLaren 720S aero kit named ‘000’ for being a prototype.

The sporty Brit comes adorned with a wider-and-lower front bumper with sharply defined fins at both sides and a splitter down below. Adding to the image are a swollen hood cover, massive wheel arches, and air intakes next to the doorframes. a huge rear wing dominates the rear along with an intricately shaped diffuser.

The company admits that most of the components still had to be made manually, rather than printed, whereas most of the printed parts are structural, auxiliary and otherwise hidden from the observer. Even so, the entire aftermarket kit drops the curb weight of the 720S by a whopping 121 kilos (268 lbs).

According to the company founder Peter Northrop, the kit has no equals in the world right now, but more will definitely be coming soon given the advantages of this manufacturing approach.

Posaidon did a wonderful job last year tuning the Mercedes-AMG A45 S to a neck-snapping 525 PS (518 hp / 386 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, and now, the German tuner helps the junior A35 model to keep up.

The more affordable out of two packages boils down to software tweaks and raises the power from 306 PS (302 hp / 225 kW) to 355 PS (350 hp / 261 kW). The torque simultaneously rises from 400 to 500 Nm (295 to 369 lb-ft). As a result, the sedan needs 4.3 seconds to sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) instead of 4.7 and maxes out at 280 km/h (174 mph), which is 30 km/h (18 mph) higher than stock.

The range-topping RS 400 package ups the ante with an enhanced turbo, culminating in 400 PS (394 hp / 294 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. Tuned like this, the four-door A35 rides on par with its upmarket alternative, sprinting in four seconds and maxing out at 295 km/h (183 mph).

The upgrades are compatible with other models using the same engine model, including ‘35’ models across CLA, GLA, and GLB classes.

German tuners over at G-Power have devised ways to get the latest M2 CS as high up as 660 PS (651 hp / 485 kW), along with fitting it with stylish and handy accessories. Here are the details.

As per the tradition, the simplest kit is called Stage I and revolves around software optimizations. It also includes a center screw for a more reliable way to keep the crankshaft in place. Once installed, the three-liter inline-six gets an additional 50 PS and 100 Nm of torque, resulting in 500 PS (493 hp / 368 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) total.

This alone is enough to make the coupe stronger than the latest M4. If you don’t want to stop there and then, Stage 2 will take things further to 540 PS (533 hp / 397 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. This necessitates exhaust system improvements and an external ECU.

Stage 3 throws in sports-grade downpipes for 570 PS (562 hp / 419 kW) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft). Finally, the better turbos and injection system included in the Stage 4 squeeze all the juices out of the six-pot, granting it 660 PS (651 hp / 485 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). This is half a hundred horses more than your average Ferrari 458 Speciale has, by the way.

In case you happen to have spare money lying around after handing over €18,226 for the topmost boost kit, consider browsing through the rest of the G-Power catalog. You will find 20-inch Hurricane RR wheels, a speed limiter lift, transmission software improvements, a carbon-fiber engine bay lid, a squared-off steering wheel, and much more.

Mansory once again invades the supercar tuning market with its custom take on the gorgeous Ferrari 812 GTS. The outcome may seem over-the-top to many of us, but it is targeted towards a very specific clientele.

Unlike the last year’s 812 Superfast kit, the tuner’s latest work falls rather short of being understated and elegant. There is a plethora of carbon fiber parts, including a massive front bumper assembly with a splitter, a rear diffuser, and a rear wing that looks taken straight out of a video game. The result may look aggressive, but to us, it also comes across as needlessly tacky and overcomplicated.

Interior options include aluminum pedals, carbon fiber trim details, and illuminated sills. Last but by no means least, the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 gets a tune that squeezes it for extra 31 hp and 22 Nm of torque. The net result is 831 PS (820 hp / 610 kW) and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft). Boosted like this, the Stallone needs 2.8 seconds to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) and only maxes out at 345 km/h (214 mph).
