Brabus B45 costs $ 106,000

In January, Brabus introduced the upgraded AMG A45 S model, and now we know its price. The price of the Brabus B45 model in Germany is € 89,131, which makes it more expensive than the BMW M3 model (€ 82,500).

A better version of the Mercedes-AMG A45 appeared seven years ago. Now Brabus has upgraded the new AMG A45 S model. The powerful hatchback was already a production car with the most powerful production four-cylinder engine. However, that did not stop Brabus engineers from extracting more power from the 2.0-liter engine.

Although the base AMG A45 S develops 416 hp and 500 Nm of torque, after the work of Brabus engineers, engine power has been increased to 444 hp and 550 Nm. The tuned model accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and the electronic speed limit of 168 mph has not been changed either. Brabus offers a three-year warranty or 100,000 kilometers on engine reliability.

The interior of the car has undergone minor changes. The seats are upholstered in leather. The suspension of the B45 is 30 mm lower than the AMG A45 S. There are aluminum pedals, velor floor mats and illuminated panels. The car also has 20-inch Brabus Monoblock wheels with Continental tires.

BMW M2 With 741 HP

While BMW is testing the new generation Coupé M2 model, German tuning company Lightweight Performance has decided to upgrade the BMW M2 (F87 Series).

The BMW M2 Competition has a 4-liter six-cylinder biturbo engine that delivers 410 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. With a top speed of 174 mph it reaches 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

To increase the performance of the outgoing BMW M2 (F87 Series), Lightweight Performance engineers increased engine power to 741 hp and 649 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is installed for faster power transmission to the rear axle.

Increasing performance also required additional interventions. To increase stability and handling, the car’s weight has been reduced and the suspension strengthened. Eibach forged 19-inch Titan 7 wheels and an M Performance braking system have been added.

Inside, there are heated Alcantara leather seats with M2 logos and a steering wheel covered in Alcantara leather. The roof, hood, fenders and three-piece front spoiler are made of carbon, as is the rear spoiler.

Upgrade prices have not been announced.

Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche has tested the durability and reliability of the recently unveiled new 911 GT3 model.

Porsche has always been committed to the durability and reliability of its cars. On the Italian Nardò track, Porsche tested the new GT3 model by driving it at full speed. During testing, the car covered 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) in less than 17 hours at a speed of 186 mph (300 km / h).

After 22,000 hours of testing, the 4-liter six-cylinder Porsche 911 GT3 engine proved to be durable, which was the goal of Porsche engineers. To achieve these results, the new 911 GT3 uses an oil system similar to race cars, as confirmed by Thomas Mader, a specialist in GT road engine engines at Porsche.

Although it is not more powerful than its predecessor, it is much faster and more durable. The top speed that this car can reach is 197 mph (317 km / h). The new GT3 showed its capabilities at the Nürburgring where it was 12 seconds faster than its predecessor.
