Toyota Land Cruiser 250 upgraded by Arctic Trucks

Icelandic automotive company Arctic Trucks has unveiled a project called the AT37 based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 250. It is a 10-piece wide body kit that combines inspiring on-road handling with superior ground clearance, comfort, control and agility on all terrains.

The car looks more muscular thanks to new bumpers and widened wheel arches, while the raised suspension and massive tires, aluminum side steps, mudguards, rear tow hook, show that it is ready for all situations and terrains. The Land Cruiser has 40 millimeters more ground clearance thanks to an adjustable suspension with new springs and shock absorbers.

The Land Cruiser 250 has a wider track as well as a longer wheelbase thanks to the relocation of the rear axle. It is mounted on 17-inch rims in satin black with two valves, which allows owners to easily monitor and modulate the tire pressure, wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich tires.

When it comes to the powertrain, Arctic Trucks has made some changes under the hood as well. However, there is no information from the company on whether the existing engine was modified or a new one was installed.

Arctic Trucks is offering customers the choice of purchasing a complete car or upgrading a donated one. The price is not known.

BMW 7 Series 760i with Larte Performance Kit

German company specialized in making exclusive body kits for luxury vehicles, Larte Design, has unveiled a new carbon body kit for the BMW 7 Series 760i. It is a special performance body kit that brings an aerodynamic design and unique aesthetics.

The Larte Performance body kit includes a new lip spoiler, a new hood, a set of new sills, a rear diffuser with side fins, a front bumper splitter, a wheel rim overlay set that give the car a truly unique appearance, a trunk spoiler, and additional brake lights.

The car is painted in a combination of green and black, and Larte Design has not released the price of the upgrade. It should be noted that the body kit is compatible with all versions produced from 2022 to 2025.

When it comes to the powertrain, the German tuner has not changed anything. The BMW 7 Series 760i is powered by a 4.4-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 536 hp (400 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque, which is quite impressive considering it’s not an M model.

MH2 500 II (G42) has more power than BMW M2

The MH2 500 II (G42) is a new project from German tuner Manhart, which once again shows why it is considered one of the best, if not the best, BMW tuners. It is a special equipment kit produced for the high-performance sports car, the BMW M240i.

Unlike most Manhart projects, the MH2 500 II is finished in pastel blue with a dark decal set instead of the gold that is standard on most of their projects. It is equipped with an aerodynamic package that includes a front bumper, sills, rear diffuser and a flat rear wing, 20″ Concave One double-spoke alloy wheels finished in glossy white, Variant 3 coil-over suspension by KW Suspensions with adjustable rebound and compression damping, sports brake system that can be individually upgraded at the customer’s request. Customers can also choose MANHART lowering springs by H&R in combination with the OEM shock absorbers.

Inside, the BMW M steering wheel is wrapped in a leather/Alcantara combination with black-painted spokes, and there are also MANHART carbon fiber shift paddles.

The biggest change is under the bonnet. The MH2 500 II is powered by a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo engine that now delivers 503 hp and 663 Nm of torque, which means it is more powerful than the M2, which has 460 hp / 550 Nm as standard or 480 hp / 600 Nm in the LCI version. The increase in power is achieved thanks to the installation of a new intake manifold, an integrated intercooler and a MANHART downpipe with a 300-cell HJS catalytic converter, which is connected to a GRAIL stainless steel rear silencer with valve control and four matte black MANHART exhaust pipes. The in-house MHtronik power box is tuned for high-quality 102-octane gasoline.

For those who want more power, Mahnart has also prepared performance upgrade packages (Stage 2 and Stage 3), which are available on request.
