Arese RH95 Vento D’Oro Limited Edition

Arese RH95 Vento D’Oro is a new powerful car from the Italian company Touring Superleggera. It is a limited number of hand-assembled examples and the company will produce only 18 of them. This car bears the plate “05/18”.

The Touring Arese RH95 Vento D’Oro is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with 670 hp (500 kW) and 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque, taken from the Ferrari 488 GTB. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed F1 DCT automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.0 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). Previous versions of the RH95 used a more powerful V8 engine with 720 hp (537 kW). The same engine powers the Ferrari 488 Pista and F8 Tributo models. It is mounted on 20″ wheels wrapped in 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear tires.

The car is 4,782 long, 1,982 wide and 1,259 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm. It is painted in White Morning Frost with gold details, while real gold is hand-applied to various body panels and covers the entire rear part.

Inside, the sports seats are trimmed in white leather with gold details, while the headrests are covered in Alcantara. White leather also covers the dash, center console and steering wheel, with matching floor and headliner.

The Touring Arese RH95 Vento D’Oro follows last year’s Grigio Artico model, with a starting price of 1.58 million euros.

Mate Rimac received a personalized Nevera

In June 2021, Rimac Automobili introduced one of the most powerful and fastest electric cars, Nevera. Three years later, the founder and CEO of the company, Mate Rimac, announced that he had received a specially designed example of Nevera.

Mate Rimc announced this news on his Facebook profile and chose an elegant and attractive car design in burgundy color, with a black interior stitched with red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.

The Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 219 mph (352 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

In 2022, the Nevera reached a speed of 412 km/h (256 mph), making it the fastest production electric car in the world. “An incredible speed of 412 km/h is not something you do every day. When we decided to confirm this speed, we made sure we had everything we needed, a location that would give us enough space to reach speed and stop safely, the right tires that are in this case the Michelin Cup 2R, an expert to check their condition, a special Nevera aero profile that reduces the downforce at the front of the car balancing it for stability and a man on a mission to join the 400+ club , our test and development driver Miro,” it was announced from the company.

BMW Series 7 (G11) with wide carbon fiber body kit

At the 2015 International Motor Show Germany BMW revealed the sixth generation of the Series 7 (G11) which was the first car lineup of BMW to be based on the CLAR platform. It was produced until 2022 and was not modified as often as other models of the Bavarian manufacturer. However, tuner AT26 Design received a request from a Latvian owner to make his car better.

Tuner started the project in 2018 with a completion time of 24 months. The result is a wide carbon fiber body kit, and inspiration was found in the car designs of the Japanese company Rocket Bunny. In order to satisfy all the wishes of the owner, the process started with sketches, followed by scanning of the bodywork and the production of a plastic model. The final product was made of carbon fiber, which was easier to work with than if some other material had been used.

Ultimately, the car’s body kit included fender flares with integrated vents, lip spoiler, front splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler and diffuser. All components are done in contrast with the gray body, and the result is a wild look.

Under the bonnet of the BMW 740d is a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine with 406 hp (303 kW), instead of the standard 320 hp (239 kW). Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic Steptronic transmission. Also, the tuner equipped the car with a special set of Z-Performance 22-inch wheels instead of the standard 19″ wheels.

When it comes to the price of the upgrade, we can say that the owner did not pay much. The total value of the parts installed on the car was 23,000 euros, which is not too much.
