Superleggera Veloce 12 based on the Ferrari 550 Maranello

The company that builds bespoke commissions and limited edition cars, Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, has presented its latest project, the Veloce 12. It is based on the Ferrari 550 Maranello that was produced between 1996 and 2002 and was limited to only 448 examples.

Although Ferrari’s original design has been retained for the most part, the car really looks much better after the modifications. It gets new carbon fiber bodywork, new headlights and taillights, a reinforced chassis, six-piston Brembo brakes at the front and four at the rear, and a TracTive suspension with adaptive dampers that ensures the classic GT on the road behaves like a modern car.

The interior is covered in beautiful two-tone brown leather covering the seats, door panels, dashboard, and center console, and new buttons and switches have been added.

The car is powered by a modified 5.5-L naturally aspirated V12 engine with 510 hp (380 kW) and 419 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine received a new cooling system, and an aftermarket exhaust system was installed. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera will produce only 30 cars and the upgrade costs 690,000 euros (donor car not included).

STING APC – Tesla Cybertruck ready for the apocalypse

The STING is the ultimate Tesla Cybertruck ready for the apocalypse. It is intended for military and civilian use, and will be produced in three versions: Baja, Protector and APC.

The Sting APC is the more advanced of these three versions. It has protection against improvised explosive devices and mines, and thanks to its steel and ceramic armor, it can protect passengers from fire from heavy 14.5 mm machine guns. This version is designed for high threat environments and the generator is purchased separately.

The Sting Baja is equipped with an AMP Drive G125TM 800V generator, which can use jet fuel, diesel and biodiesel. This generator can charge the Cybertruck, as well as other electric vehicles, with a power of up to 125 kW. The model will be available with an off-road mod package, which includes parts manufactured by Unplugged Performance. An optional amphibious package is planned for the future.

The Sting Protector offers slightly more protection than the Sting Baja, and is intended for riskier trips. It is equipped with an off-road package, as well as steel armor that can be mounted and removed with screws. This armor can withstand attacks from 7.62 mm automatic rifles, so it is recommended for individual, corporate and government use in “moderate threat environments.” It should also be noted that it will be available with and without a generator.

This vehicle was created in cooperation between the companies Archimedes Defense and Up.Fit, and the price of the upgrade is unknown.
