Porsche Cayenne S Copue with a body kit that unleashes sportive aggression

The international car design studio, Larte Design, specializes in manufacturing exclusive body kits for luxury vehicles has revealed its latest project. It is a special carbon body kit for the Porsche Cayenne S Coupe, which takes the car to a higher level.

This is not the first time that Larte Design has made a carbon body kit for the Cayenne S Coupe, as in October we saw a similar body kit made of light carbon fiber or premium composite materials.

This new carbon body kit includes hood designed to infuse the sportive stance into luxury ride, grill set that makes the car look truly unique on any road, front lip splitter that adds aggression and style without compromising on ground clearance, front bumper trims, and air intake frames.

The rear end also received an upgrade with a rear diffuser with additional brake lights, dual twin muffler tips, lower rear hatch spoiler, lower rear diffuser, aerodynamic roof spoiler, and custom forged rims. All carbon components are designed to be easy to install and fit seamlessly.

When it comes to the powertrain, Larte Design hasn’t changed anything. Under the hood is a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 474 hp (349 kW) and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 273 km/h (170 mph). Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.

2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper

Tesla is currently developing its new model, the Model Y Juniper, which will enter production in early 2025, and it is still unknown whether it will be offered only in the Chinese market or globally.

The Juniper will be produced in Shanghai, as will the six-seat Model Y, which may remain exclusive to the Chinese market due to the popularity of the six-seat configuration. Production of the Model Y will not start before Q4 2025.

Information about the Model Y Juniper was revealed by a reliable source, who also mentioned certain exterior and interior changes that will be similar to those of the Model 3 Highland. This would mean a more aggressive headlight design and a minimalist interior. It could also get a larger battery (95 kWh), improved electric motors and Tesla’s latest FSD hardware package AI4.

Tesla has not released information about specifications for now.

2026 Lancia Gamma

At the 1976 Geneva Motor Show, Lancia unveiled its new flagship, the Gamma. It was produced until 1984, and the latest information suggests that the Gamma will return in 2026.

Lancia has not released many details about the new Gamma. However, what we do know is that it will use the STLA Medium platform, one of the ones that will underpin almost every new Stellantis vehicle, including the next-generation Jeep Compass and possibly the Chrysler Airflow. This platform is compatible with combustion engines as well as electric ones. It is designed for front-wheel and all-wheel drive, and the size can vary. It supports 400-volt technology, and the range will reach up to 700 kilometers.

The new Gamma will be produced in Melfi, Italy, and will be the second of three models that the brand plans to launch in the next four years. Information about the powertrain is still unknown.

The old Gamma was available as a two-door coupe and fastback sedan, and was designed by Pininfarina. It was powered by a four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive.
