2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 With HPE500 Upgrade

Hennessey do not fool around when it comes to sheer engine power. Take the 2014 Corvette C7 for example. With an added punch from the company's HPE kits, these Stingrays vary in power to up to 1000 hp. A total number of 500 units is planned This one here has an HPE500 kit which means it is as true to the original as it can be. Still, Hennessey's work is evident when we look at the stainless steel long-tube exhaust manifolds, and the stainless steel midpipes, the installed high flow catalytic converters, and the

Prior Design Black Edition V2 Widebody Mercedes-Benz S-Class W221

For around $9.434 you can have the complexly named Prior Design Black Edition V2 widebody aerodynamic kit on a Mercedes S-Class (the old W221 Merc). It's black (duh), road-sweapingly low, and kind of aggressive. Just look at the space – or rather the lack of it - between the tires and the wheel arches (that space, by the way, is called the dead cat hole). To be honest, though, the freakishly big wheels are not mentioned in the brochure so that mi

Tesla Model S With Vorsteiner Flow Forged V-FF 101 Wheels

It's nice to see Tesla back in the news, even if it's just by proxy. Vorsteiner – the California-based tuning company with a rather German name – have laid their hands on a Tesla Model S, which coincidentally (or not) is also a Californian brain child. Maybe because it's such an interesting choice (an electric car),

Mcchip-DKR Mini John Cooper Works With A 2.0 TFSI And DSG Gearbox

How often do you get to see some tuner house behind the scenes action? Most of the time it's just figures and dyno graphs. Ever wondered what it takes to actually do a proper overhaul? If you have, it's your lucky day. The guys at Mcchip-DKR have the uncanny idea to lift and transplant a Volkswagen TFSI engine. The recipient? A Mini John Cooper Works. Apparently, the JCW Mini's 208 hp and 261 Nm of torque just don't make the cut. Mcchip are an

An Exclusive Maybach 57S By Knight Luxury

Meet Mr. Toby Knight, the founder of Miami-based Knight Luxury Inc. He firmly believes that the “failure” of the Maybachs around the world is partly due to their unsophisticated design. Would love to know how he feels about caviar hors d'oeuvres. Too rustic maybe? Main point: This is the $1,000 000+ Sir Maybach 57S project by Knight Luxury. Let's see how things have gotten from unsophisticated to unparalleled. The front apron and the back-end bumper seem to be the only non-carbon pieces left on the car, yet
