McLaren 650S with new body kit

At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show the British automaker unveiled its new sports car, the McLaren 650S. It was produced until 2017 and was offered in two versions, retractable hard-top convertible (Spider) and coupe. Even though it is a car, which many believe attracts the eyes of many with its design, and should not stand out more, the tuner Zacoe made the car more impressive with a special equipnemt kit.

Inspired by various McLaren racing cars, Zacoe designed a wide body kit for the 650S. Most noticeable is the large rear wing, apparently designed under the influence of the M8D Can-Am driven by Bruce McLaren. There is also a new diffuser that not only looks great but also contributes to aerodynamics. Attention is also drawn to the redesigned rear part of the car where the exhaust system (designed by Frequency Intelligence Exhaust) is at the top, and found inspiration in the McLaren 600LT.

The car also received new aerodynamic rally-inspired disc rims, as well as extended front and rear wheel arches. Zacoe also prepared the wings and placed them behind the front wheels, something similar to the case of the 720S GT3X model. The rest of the car is adorned with a lightweight carbon fiber hood, front fender vents and a front lip spoiler, just like the racing 650S GT3.

Under the hood, there were no changes. McLaren 650S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8L V8 engine with 641 hp (478 kW) and 500 lb-ft (678Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch Seamless-Shift gearbox (SSG). It reaches 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph (329 km/h).

Rolls-Royce Writh with Blacshot Aerodynamic Kit

A few months ago, Rolls-Royce introduced the limited edition Black Badge Black Arrow, which replaced the Wraith model. Only 12 examples of this model will be produced, and now the British company in cooperation with Prior Design has prepared a Blacshot Aerodynamic Kit for Rolls-Royce Writh models.

The car is finished in black, and is equipped with a new set of rims, front bumper (€4,290.00), front spoiler (€1,399.00), front fenders (€4,390.00), side skirts (€1,799.00), rear bumper with diffusor (€4,290.00) and rear trunk spoiler (€1,179.00).

The interior is covered with a combination of leather and Alcantara in two-tone black and red. The tuner logo adorns the seat backs and the central armrest between the front seats.

The BlackShot fits all versions of the Rolls-Royce Wraith models, but probably won’t include a power boost. The car is still powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbo B12 engine with 623 hp (458 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

MHX5 700 based on the BMW M5 M

BMW M5 M is one of the best SUV models of the Bavarian company, with outstanding performance. However, for those who want more German tuner Manhart has introduced the MHX5 700 based on this car.

The car is finished in gray and numerous decorative strips in matte black and strikingly bright red, now give a more aggressive look. It is equipped with carbon elements such as a front spoiler, front air intake inserts, radiator grille kidneys, a rear diffuser, several skirt extensions and a two-piece spoiler under the rear window, two-piece side skirts and front wing accessories, exhaust pipes from BMW’s M Performance Parts, carbon mirror covers and a carbon spoiler on the roof.

The interior of the car has not been changed. The seats are upholstered in black leather, which also covers the door panels, dashboard, central console, and the multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel. New floor mats and gearshift paddles as well as carbon steering wheel trims were added.

The MHX5 700 is powered by a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine with 730 (537 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. This significant increase in power was achieved thanks to the MHtronik powerbox and the installation of a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control. As a reminder, the BMW M5 M has 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It sits on a set of Silk Matt Black 23″ Classic-Line Y-Spoke wheels wrapped in 315/25 ZR23 tires.
