Ferrari Purosangue upgraded by Road Show International

Since Ferrari unveiled its first SUV, the Purosangue, in mid-2022, several tuners have based their projects on the model. Now, one comes from American tuner Road Show International.

The exterior of the car will definitely attract attention but also cause mixed comments. It is painted in a dark burgundy color and features new tinted headlights and taillights, windows and windshield. The suspension has been lowered by 10 mm, and the car has also received a new set of chrome 24-inch multi-spoke Forgiato wheels and yellow brake calipers.

While the exterior can be said to have a passing grade, the interior is the epitome of luxury. Dark brown leather covers the seats, ceiling, center console and door panels, while red trim and metal trim create a contrast. There are also plenty of carbon details and black leather on the dashboard.

There have been no changes under the hood. Ferrari Purosangue is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 kph). The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox whose performance is 35 percent higher, transmitting up to 1,200 Nm in dynamic torque during gear shifts.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 with better aerodynamics

Last year, Mercedes introduced the second generation of the super-powerful Mercedes-AMG GT 63. It is an extraordinary high-performance car on which Brabus based its project, the Brabus 750.

The car has received a wide range of aerodynamic carbon components such as a front spoiler, side fender inserts, front grill inserts, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and a flap sports exhaust system. There are also sports springs that lower the car by 25 mm and forged 22-inch Monoblock Platinum Edition wheels. The interior is equipped with illuminated carbon sills, aluminum or carbon pedals, velor floor mats, and a large number of seat upholstery and color options.

Under the hood is a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 750 hp (559 kW) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, up from the standard 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the factory model, with a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).

The price of the car is 318,000 euros.

Tesla Model 3 Performance with new carbon fiber aero kit

Over time, some tuners have specialized in vehicles from one manufacturer, and Unplugged Performance specializes in Tesla cars. One of the projects of this American company is Project Highland, a carbon fiber aero kit for the Tesla Model 3 Performance.

Tesla Model 3 Performance was revealed in April as the perfect high-performance car for everyday driving. It is equipped with a more capable performance-oriented chassis, but also components that reduce mass and increase stiffness at the same time, new sports bumpers, a new front splitter and an aggressive diffuser, which improves the aerodynamics of the car. However, Unplugged Performance went further and added a carbon lip spoiler, wings, aerodynamic deflectors and the lower part of the diffuser, all made of carbon.

The carbon fiber aero kit also includes side skirts, rear bumper detailing, a diffuser and a fixed rear wing that can be had in a satin or gloss finish. All the listed components create an additional 193 kilograms of downforce.

Customers can also choose carbon-ceramic brakes, several different types of suspension, front and rear limited-slip differentials, new stabilizer bars, adjustable upper suspension arms and braided brake system hoses. The total price of the carbon fiber aero kit is $19,995.

When it comes to the powertrain, nothing has been changed. The car is powered by two electric motors with 517 hp (386 kW) and 547 lb-ft (741 Nm) of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds with a speed of 163 mph (262 km/h). It is equipped with AWD and a battery that provides a range of 476 km on a single charge.
