Ferrari 296 GTB with Carbon Fiber Wide Body

In 2021, Ferrari presented a powerful hybrid car with outstanding performance, the Ferrari 296 GTB. However, for those who want more, the Taiwanese tuner Zacoe has prepared a special body kit that makes this car even better.

Zacoe equipped Ferrari 296 GTB with carbon components such as front splitter, side skirts, accentuated rear spoiler, rear diffuser extension, wide fenders with integrated air vents. This body kit is called 296 GTZ (Gran Turismo di Zacoe) and resembles the classic 250 LM.

The tuner equipped the car with an upgraded suspension and a set of slightly larger tires. The 296 GTZ can also be used for the Ferrari 296 Spider.

There were no changes under the hood. Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 819 hp (602 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h). The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The electric motor is powered by a 7.45 kWh battery that produces enough power for a range of 16 miles (25 kilometers).

Irmscher Opel Corsa with more power

In 2023, Opel presented the new Opel Corsa, and now the German tuner Irmscher tried to infuse this supermini car with a sporty spirit and raise its performance to a higher level.

Powerful supermini cars have almost disappeared, but the demand for this type of car still exists. This was the reason for Irmscher to prepare a package of equipment that brings a lot of visual changes, chassis changes and performance improvements. These include fender extensions, deeper sills, an optional black hood and roof combined with red accents, and an additional wing on the rear spoiler. All parts are made of high quality OE material. There’s also a new set of 18-inch Turbo Star wheels, available in black or two-tone. Thanks to the adjustable suspension, the Corsa is an additional 30 mm closer to the ground, which increases its handling.

When it comes to the powertrain, the mild-hybrid Corsa is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine the 48-volt system, which develops 99 hp (74 kW) or 134 hp (100 kW). The conventional model gained up to 20 hp more than the factory specifications (depending on the model). The engine is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. The complete package is compatible with all pogo variants of the Corsa including electric, and probably with other Stellantis models that use the same engines, including the Peugeot 208.

The price of the upgrade package is currently unknown.
