BMW i8 – more aggressive than ever

In 2021, BMW premiered its ultimate new generation car, the BMW i8. It is a plug-in hybrid car, ahead of its time, which always attracts attention thanks to its design. Now, Japanese car shop Liberty Walk has decided to make it even “crazier”.

Almost every panel of the car has been modified. The specially designed body kit includes a new bumper with a more prominent splitter and a pair of wings, a carbon hood, widened fenders, new wider side skirts, a rear wing and a new diffuser. There’s also a set of black Forgiato rims wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires.

The car really looks impressive and its exterior is decorated with a pink body, a black hood, black mirror caps and a black roof.

When it comes to the drive, nothing has been changed. The BMW i8 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 369 hp (271 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. It hits 60 mph in about 4.4 seconds. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Using only the electric motor the car has a range of only 22 miles.

Honda Brio with 400 hp

Honda Brio is one of the cars that the Japanese company only produced for the Southeast Asia market. It is a small car that is not intended for high speeds. However, the owner of one example of this model decided to turn it into a powerful car with 400 hp.

This Honda Brio is powered by turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 400 hp. As a reminder, the standard model is powered by a 1,2L engine with 87 hp (64 kW) and 80 lb-ft (109 Nm) torque. Power is transferred to front wheels via 5-speed dual clutch transmission and limited slip differential.

The car is finished in Boston green, which is used for BMW E36. It is equipped with a body kit that includes wide front and rear fenders and sports bumper. The door is retained, but the rear seats were removed to find room for a security cage. The car weighs only 950 kg.

Honda Brio was owned by Malaysian Jonathan Jameson, who can boast that he has the strongest copy of this model, but also one of the most powerful cars of this category.

The DBX P800 is the most powerful Aston Martin SUV

Last year Aston Martin unveiled the symbol of a new era, the Aston Martin DBX707. It was the most powerful SUV of the British car manufacturer. However, the German tuner Mansory presented the DBX P800 with 800 HP, based on this model.

In the second attempt to refine the DBX at Mansory, they did not give up their carbon body components. Many feel that this design ultimately spoils the look of the British SUV, but it may be comforting that the engineers have increased the power making it the most powerful Aston Martin SUV.

The DBX P800 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard DBX has 550 hp (404 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The power was increased by remapping the ECU, but also by installing more powerful turbochargers and a new exhaust system. Also, the top speed was raised from 310 km/h to 325 km/h.

The car is equipped with a carbon kit that includes side skirts, a front spoiler, hood vents, side air intakes and a rear spoiler. There’s also a set of new 24″ rims wrapped in 295/30 front and 355/25 rear tires.
