Porsche 911 models are in high demand, and one such restomod was done by Strosek Auto Design. It is a limited edition Porsche 911 “Mega 30” intended for those who want a modified 911.

The Porsche 911 restomod is painted in a dark shade of green and is based on the 964 model.

Inside, sporty bucket seats made of carbon are upholstered in orange Alcantara, which can be seen on the door panels and dashboard as well. Behind the seat are protective bars.

The Porsche 911 restomod is powered by a 3.6-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with 300 hp (221 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed Getrag G50 manual transmission. It is mounted on 19-inch rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/30 (front) and 295/25 (rear) tires.

Ferrari 296 GTB with 900 hp

In the middle of last year, Ferreri introduced the 296 GTB model. It is Ferrari’s first “real” model that is powered by a six-cylinder engine, and due to the hybrid powertrain, it is far from the entry-level model. German tuning company DMC has improved the aerodynamics and engine performance of this model.

The car is painted red with black carbon parts, and the company says that the aerodynamics of the vehicle enable increased grip in corners and handling. The 296 GTB is equipped with a new set of springs that bring the floor of the Ferrari two-seater closer to the ground by an additional 35 millimeters.

The Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 165 hp (123 kW) that give a total of 819 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. Thanks to turbochargers, DMC engineers have raised the power to 900 hp (662 kW), which (with a recalibrated gearbox) should further improve the performance of the 1,470 kilogram heavy plug-in hybrid. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The base model reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h).

The price of the upgrade of the Ferrari 296 GTB costs 270,000 EUR, which does not include the optional Assetto Fiorano package.
