Autozam AZ-1 as a mini Ferrari F40

Liberty Walk is a Japanese car shop that makes body kits for Ferrari, Lamborghini and GTR. Their latest work is a car created as a combination of Ferrari F40 and mid-engine kei-class sports car Autozam AZ-1.

The AZ-1 was one of the most exciting cars from the Japanese kei class. Even in factory form it looks like a mini supercar, and the gullwing doors add to the sporty look. It is powered by a 657 cc three-cylinder engine with 63 hp (47 kW) mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The tuner changed the front of the AZ-1 with a new grille and hood to resemble the F40. Wings in the corners, an extended splitter, extended fenders connected to massive sills were also added. Dual round headlights are not part of the package.

New door panels with the shape of the NACA opening were installed, creating a look closer to the legendary Ferrari. A new fixed rear wing, diffuser and redesigned bumper with reflectors have been installed, but there are no taillights.

Although Liberty Walk doesn’t mention the exhaust system, the photo shows three centrally placed tailpipes, just like those on the F40.

When it comes to the price, the body kit costs $22,600, and that includes all of the above as well as sports seats. 16″ and 17″ six-spoke wheels wrapped in Toyo tires that cost an additional $14,300.

Mercedes-AMG G63 with 820 HP

The Mercedes-AMG G63 SUV is one of the most tuned Mercedes-AMG cars in the past year, and this year also begins with a Zunized copy of the German company Keyvany, which was founded with the aim of taking luxury cars to a new level of refinement.

When it comes to the powertrain, the tuner increased the power of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine to 820 hp (611 kW), which is a significant increase compared to the standard 577 hp (430 kW). Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Redesigned carbon front and rear bumper, slightly wider body, new modified front fascia, sills and a set of double spoke wheels are just some of the components that adorn this car finished in black and gray.

Inside, the seats, ceiling, door panels, center console, dashboard and floor are covered in yellow leather, matched with carbon fiber details on the dashboard and steering wheel. Like the Rolls-Royce cars, Keyvany equipped the G63 with a starry sky, emphasizing the car’s luxury. There’s also Keyvany badging on the seats and dash.

Two equipment kits for Honda Civic Type R

In a few days, the Tokyo Motor Show (January 12 – 14) will begin, where the Japanese tuner Mugen will present two equipment kits, Group A and Group B, for the Honda Civic Type R.

The Group A equipment kit includes a new front splitter, a sharper air intake shape, redesigned sills, a new rear wing, giving the car a more aggressive look. It can be said to be expected for a special version of the Type R model.

The Group B equipment kit offers much more. The front splitter and intakes are the same as in the Group A package, but the addition is a carbon hood with more air vents that are also located on the upper part of the front fenders. Wider door sills, a new rear wing and a modified bumper give the car a more muscular look and better aerodynamics. Something similar could be seen on modified cars at the beginning of the century.

Group A brings a new improved stainless steel exhaust system and new pads, while Group B comes with titanium pipes, new brake calipers and discs. Both kits bring new shock absorbers and BBS wheels.
