ACS2 Sport based on the BMW M2

In its 36 years of tuning BMW cars, the German company AC Schnitzer has improved some of the best models of this German brand. Now, the tuner has introduced the ACS2 Sport based on the new generation BMW M2 G87.

The car is equipped with several carbon body components based on a modular principle, which means that you can opt for a complete conversion or select individual parts. Among them, the newly designed front spoiler stands out, which Aachen points out significantly improves the car’s aerodynamics.

The adaptive suspension has been improved, which allows the front part to be closer to the ground by an additional 35 mm, and the rear by 30 mm. There’s also an adaptive exhaust system with carbon tips, a set of black or gold 20 and 21-inch AC4 Lightweight wheels wrapped in 285/30/20 front and 295/25/21 tires, while the brakes have not been changed.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds (4.1 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission) with a top limited speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Ferrari SF90 Stradale with 1,100 HP

Many tuners have tried to improve the aerodynamics and performance of one of the current best Ferrari cars, the SF90 Stradale, but with more or less success. Now, one of the world’s best tuners, Mansory, has introduced a softkit for this car.

The car is finished in White and is equipped with a new front bumper made of forged carbon fiber, a new front mask, better air intakes, a new hood, openings on the front fenders, and small wings on the sides, giving the car a more muscular look.

Also, the appearance and aerodynamics of the car have been improved with a new lip spoiler, new carbon sills, side mirror housings, side intakes, rims with carbon details, a new engine cover, a new diffuser, also made of forged carbon fibers. It is interesting that the tuner removed the rear wing.

When it comes to the powertrain, there were also changes. Now a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine combined with three electric motors delivers a total output of 1,100 hp (820 kW) and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque. That’s more than enough to push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph).

As a reminder, the standard Ferrari SF90 Stradale is powered by the same 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine assisted by three electric motors with a total output of 986 hp (725 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque . Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Prototype X based on the Land Rover Defender 90

Land Rover Defender 90 is a car that many tuners try to make better with additional equipment, raising its performance to a higher level. One of these is the British Kahn Design, owned by Afzal Kahn, which presented the Prototype X based on this model.

The car received new LED lights above the windshield, a newly designed front bumper/spoiler, and a larger spoiler above the rear door that houses the fifth wheel. It is finished in black, and the carbon body components, among which the extended fenders stand out the most, give the car a more powerful and aggressive look. Optional is a large glass roof, fog lamps, heated seats, an interactive digital display, a 360-degree camera, and satellite navigation.

Prototype X is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six (Ingenium) with 393 hp (293 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in six seconds with a top speed of 129 mph (208 km/h). It is mounted on black 22″ high-performance alloy wheels.

The car will be available through Chelsea Truck. “Chelsea Truck Company is known for the innovative styling we bring to Defenders past and present. With this vehicle, we are showing our more experimental side by including some of our newest works in progress. As a true 1-of-1 prototype, it will be of interest to collectors and enthusiasts and, at £105,000, represents superb value,” said CEO Afzal Kahn.
