Mansory equipped the BMW X7 with a wider body kit

After the recent Mansory Vitesse based on the Bentley Continental GT, now from the workshop of the German tuner comes a modified version of the BMW X7. It is a customization program that brings superior power and luxurious comfort to this model.

The car is equipped with a new smaller front grill under which there are small additional air intakes, as well as a significantly modified front bumper with larger openings. At the back is a wider bumper that continues the aggressive profile line, a diffuser with a new black detail, as well as four tailpipes. The rear of the luxury SUV does not indicate any changes.

Mansory does not reveal whether the new package can be used for the older and refreshed version of the X7 model. There is a possibility that the tuner is actually offering a conversion, that is, a return to the old design in response to the criticism received by the refreshed model due to the split headlights.

Behind the wider wheel arches are massive 24-inch rims, which Mansory will offer in 11 different models and different sizes. The X7 in the photos is wearing the maximum size 24-inch multi-spoke rims.

SEAT Leon Cupra reached 300 km/h

The Volkswagen Golf R is definitely a fantastic powerful hatchback to drive, but its price is too high for many, so they find a more affordable alternative in the SEAT Leon Cupra. This is the third generation of this model, which unleashed all its power on the highway in Germany.

According to the AutoTopNL magazine, the Leon Cupra 280 reached a speed of more than 300 km/h on the highway. The video was published on the YouTube channel, and it can be seen how after several attempts the car crosses the magic limit.

The Leon Cupra 280 hit the market in 2014 and is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI turbo gasoline engine with 276 hp (203 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. However, the car in the video underwent an upgrade by the company KolbenKraft, which took its capabilities to a new level, and now the car has 520 hp (382 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.

As a reminder, the Volkswagen Golf R 20 Years Edition (Mk8), which is also the most powerful Golf in history, reaches a maximum electronically limited speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).

Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S Shooting Brake with 483 HP

The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S Shooting Brake is a powerful car that provides driving pleasure and suitability for everyday use in the compact sports car segment. However, if you want to enrich your life with fun and driving exclusivity, the German tuner VÄTH has prepared a special package of equipment that makes the car better than ever.

The base CLA 45 S Shooting Brake is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 416 hp (306 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. However, thanks to the installation of a new downpipe system with optimized exhaust gas flow and modified software, VATH extracted more power, giving the car 483 hp (355 kW) and 457 lb-ft (620 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph in 4 seconds. It is mounted on a set of 20 inch wheels wrapped in 265/30 tires.

The tuner equipped the car with a set of coil springs that lowered the Shooting Brake by 20 mm, sports brake calipers with six pistons, steel flexible brake lines and new discs with a diameter of 390 mm.

The exterior design has not been changed, and it has not been announced how much the upgrade will cost.
