When BMW rolled out the facelifted 3-Series, we knew it was only a matter of time until Alpina did the same to its B3 and D3 S sedan and wagon. Both are now available for pre-ordering in Germany with the actual deliveries set to begin in October this year.

Starting with the most important part, the B3 sedan begins at €88,600 before options. The estate-shaped B3 costs €89,900 and upwards from there. The D3 S starts from €77,050, but opting for a longer roof will set you back at least €78,450.

The update lands the B3 with a boosted version of the stock 3.0-liter six-pot turbo. The power rises from 462 PS (456 hp / 340 kW) to 495 PS (488 hp / 364 kW). The torque sees a relatively minor bump from 700 to 730 Nm (from 516 to 538 lb-ft, respectively).

An eight-speed automatic transmission drives the wheels to let the sedan hit 100 km/h (62 mph) within 3.6 seconds from the launch and max out at 305 km/h (189.5 mph). The wagon is just one-tenth of a second behind.

The diesel-chugging D3 S version uses a three-liter, six-cylinder engine that pumps out 355 PS (350 hp / 261 kW) and 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque. The sedan completes its standard sprint in 4.7 seconds, and the estate trails by 0.1 s. The respective top speeds are 273 and 270 km/h (169.6 and 167.8 miles per hour).

Elsewhere, the fresh Alpina 3-Series rocks a different front splitter, sides adorned with the signature pinstripes, and a giant dual display in the cabin, among other premium features.

Mansory has been busy tinkering around with Ferrari supercars lately, going from middle-ground to high-end. This week, the German aftermarket specialist unveiled an SF90 tuned to deliver an additional 200 horsepower.

The so-called Mansory F9XX rocks a forged-carbon body kit that lets it generate proportional amounts of extra downforce on both axles, resulting in a very balanced per-axle distribution of load, per the manufacturer. The same kit is said to improve cooling by directing more air into the intakes found on the rear wheel arches and the roof.

As for the power, the stock 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 gets a push to 980 PS (966 hp / 721 kW) and 980 Nm (723 lb-ft) of torque, a bump of approximately two hundred points to both OEM values. An on-board trio of electric motors stays unmodded and contributes its standard power to the system, resulting in a staggering total output of 1,100 PS (1,085 hp / 809 kW).

Dynamic performance tests have proven that the mods were all viable. The SF90 ran 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.4 seconds and hit its speed ceiling at 355 km/h (220.6 mph).

Rounding off the impressive project is a bespoke interior makeover. Mansory offers a vast array of custom options here, with the show car betting on a combination of black and yellow leather with abundant carbon fiber.

The tuner team over at Brabus does not normally work with Porsches or EVs, but it has now apparently decided to break two stereotypes at once and release a custom Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

The marque’s first electric sedan received a few carbon body kit parts in addition to the OEM kit – a larger splitter, front bumper winglets, intake bezels and other such trifles. The rear diffuser has grown in size considerably, and an unexpectedly understated lip spoiler was put on the trunk lid. Brabus logos replaced all Porsche badges on the outside.

Compared to the relatively tame exterior, the interior attacks the viewer with an eye-gouging combination of black and light green leather. The atomic combo covers the seats, the dashboard, the center console and the door cards. Aluminum and carbon accents help offset the gaudiness somewhat, as does the Alcantara roof liner.

Things stay unchanged under the hood, where a duo of electric motors drive the wheels with 761 PS (750 hp / 559 kW) and 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) of torque. The suspension is 20 mm (0.8 inches) lower than stock, meaning this particular Taycan could handle better than the stock model. On the other hand, we doubt the original needed any improvement in this regard.

All prices are private.

A magic pill from Manhart makes the Porsche Cayenne Turbo stronger than the Turbo GT and the Turbo S E-Hybrid both while adding some distinctive visual cues and suspension tweaks.

The twin-turbo’d V8 under the hood gets a couple of upgrade turbochargers, an intercooler, a performance exhaust system and an external ECU. The net result amounts to 807 PS (796 hp / 593 kW) and 1,090 Nm (804 lb-ft) of torque. Driving both axles is a thoroughly reinforced version of the standard eight-speed PDK transmission.

On the outside, you will recognize the so-called Manhart CRT 800 by its signature black-and-gold exterior, air suspension dropped by 35 mm (1.4 inches), and 22-inch alloy wheels. The exterior is not quite there yet, but Manhart says work is in progress on a front splitter and a rear diffuser.

Pricing details remain to go public, but you can already pre-order one.

Famous U.S.-based Ford tuner Shelby American does not export its GT500 model to the UK, but the country has its own talented aftermarket specialists. Meet the Mustang CS850R by Clive Sutton, which outperforms the GT500 in price and looks both.

Thanks to a comprehensive supercharger-based upgrade, the car is churning out 859 PS (850 hp / 634 kW) to the rear wheels. The transmission is strictly six-speed manual, and the torque hits its maximum at 902 Nm (665 lb-ft). Stiff track-ready suspension and an aggressive all-carbon body kit make the car optimal for racing, not daily driving.

In addition to its fancy carbon suit, the muscle supercar boasts color-adjustable LED headlights, a quartet of exhaust tips, and bespoke 20-inch Vossen wheels. The interior comes adorned with Nappa leather and artificial suede.

Pricing begins at £121,000. For a perspective, consider that Clive Sutton is selling an unofficially imported GT500 for £125,000 right now, and that car has less power at 770 PS (760 hp / 567 kW).

Hennessey Performance first mentioned its intentions to transform the Ram TRX into a badass 6x6 truck two years ago, but the production hasn’t begun until this month. Only a dozen units will be built and sold starting at $450,000.

For their investment, buyers will be getting a truly unrivaled, performance-driven three-axle pickup with a body 7,190 mm (283 inches) long, 2,235 mm (88 inches) wide and around 2,100 mm (7 feet) tall.

The custom build uses the original Ram TRX V8 with its 6.2 liters of supercharged displacement, but puts a plethora of upgrades on it to drive the output from the original 712 PS (702 hp / 524 kW) all the way up to 1,026 PS (1,012 hp / 755 kW) and 1,313 Nm (968 lb-ft) of torque. This necessitates replacing most of the engine bay components with upgrade parts.

Elsewhere, the Mammoth 1000 TRX rocks height-adjustable suspension, 20-inch wheels shod in 27-inch all-terrain tires, automatic running boards, and custom touches in the cabin. Hennessey is offering it with a 24-month warranty.

Popular Audi blogger Auditography has tracked down a gorgeous Audi RS 6 Avant in Amsterdam. The car sports a camouflage green finish and comes with an ABT Sportsline tune-up that brings it ever closer to perfection.

While you may not notice it on the first glance, there is a subtle aerodynamic kit installed that consists of a front splitter, side sills, and a two-part roof wing in the back. Custom black wheels fill out the arches, and the suspension is 25-30 mm (1-1.2 inches) lower than stock. Rounding off the look is a quartet of 102mm (4-inch) exhaust tips protruding from under the diffuser.

It can be argued that the RS 6 engine has plenty of power as is, but ABT still takes it further to 700 PS (690 hp / 515 kW) and 880 Nm (650 lb-ft) of torque. Tuned like this, the family hauler sprints 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.1 seconds and maxes out at 322 km/h (200 mph) or close.

ABT has another engine tune on offer that promises 750 PS (740 hp / 552 kW), but may not be legal in some countries due to their strict emission standards.

The car you see here looks very convincingly like a 1969 Shelby GT500, but there is a 2008 Ford Mustang hiding under all the mascara. The unique muscle car just found a new owner who handed over $65,000 for it, much less than the $150,000 price the original commands these days.

The conversion was carried out by Retrobuilt, which has other similar projects in its portfolio. The team had to tear down the entire car and replace the bodywork with all-new, custom-fabricated panels styled after the original Shelby GT500.

Power for the retromod comes from a 4.6-liter engine rated at 306 PS (302 hp / 225 kW) and 434 Nm (320 lb-ft) of torque. There are COMP Thumper camshafts, a cold air intake system and an H-shaped exhaust system with dual Roush mufflers. A five-speed manual transmission drives the wheels through a differential.

The vanilla GT500 (see video) made use of a giant seven-liter Cobra Jet V8 rated even higher than the mill used in this project. However, mushy suspension and capricious handling made it tricky to drive on track, and fuel economy was basically nonexistent.

British car restorer RML has finished building the pilot example of its long-awaited Short Wheelbase, which strives to be the perfect imitation of the legendary Ferrari 250 GT. The car hit the Millbrook Proving Ground for some tests.

From the technical point of view, the restomod runs on Ferrari 550 Maranello chassis and draws power from its 5.5-liter V12. A six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential convey up to 485 PS (478 hp / 357 kW) and 570 Nm (419 lb-ft) of torque to the rear wheels. Thanks to a lightweight all-carbon body, the coupe only needs 4.1 seconds to sprint 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph). The top speed lies at 290 km/h (180 mph).

Pre-orders are already running starting from £1,350,000 before any taxes or options. As prohibitive as the pricing may seem, it still pales in comparison to that of the original 250 GT, sometimes by an order of magnitude.

While few would call the BMW Z4 bland or uninspired, some buyers would still be interested in a more exotic take on the luxury convertible – and Boldmen is happy to deliver. This CR4 model is up for grabs in Germany right now for €207,210, which buys you three used Z4s.

The seller claims it is number six out of 30 units made since mid-2021. The car is finished in black with silver wheels and a red/black leather trim inside. On the whole, the exterior stays recognizable, but there are many custom touches like the new grille, the front fascia and the carbon-fiber bezels around the headlights.

Powering the ride is a standard BMW Z4 M40i six-cylinder engine massaged from its usual 340 PS (335 hp / 250 kW) to 408 PS (402 hp / 300 kW). Tuned like this, the roadster needs 3.9 seconds to sprint to highway speed.

We will admit we like the styling and all, but is it worth €207,210 to you? Let us know in the comments.
