Ferrari F8 Spider upgraded by Mansory

After last year’s F8XX Tempesta Turchese, German tuner Mansory presented another project based on the Ferrari F8 Spider with a lot of aerodynamic carbon components.

This time, Mansory used the same aerodynamic solution as in the previous project, such as a mask with a forged carbon splitter, new air intakes, aerodynamic wings, carbon openings on the front fenders, new sills, as well as a new rear diffuser with two small wings and new four ends exhaust pipes.

The interior is upholstered in turquoise leather that covers almost every surface in the cockpit, including the seats, dashboard, door panels, floor mats and steering wheel. A lot of carbon details and a few black components complete the luxurious look of the car.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory has upgraded the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that now delivers 880 hp (656 kW) and 708 lb-ft (960 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission. The car is mounted on a set of 21″ front and 22″ rear wheels with forged carbon details.

Manhart MHX3 650 based on the BMW X3 M Competition

After BMW revealed the new generation of the X3 M Competition, the powerful SUV quickly became the project of many tuners. Among them is the best when it comes to cars from the Bavarian manufacturer, which presented the Manhart MHX3 650 based on the BMW X3 M Competition.

Like most Manhart projects, the MHX3 650 is painted black but without the stripes that we can see on some of their cars. It is equipped with a carbon aerodynamic kit that includes a front spoiler and side skirts with fins, a roof spoiler and a rear diffuser. There are also big bright red calipers on the factory fitted M Compound braking system, MANHART lowering springs from H&R which lower the car by about 30 millimeters and ensure better cornering, stainless steel exhaust with valve control, MANHART sports tailpipes with 200 cellular HJS catalysts and four 100 mm carbon-coated tailpipes. Ceramic coated exhaust pipes are optional.

The interior is also equipped with carbon fiber details such as steering wheel spokes and shift paddles.

When it comes to the powertrain, thanks to the upgrade of the MHtronik auxiliary control unit, the 3.0 liter in-line six cylinder engine now has 650 hp (485 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. As a reminder, the standard X3 M Competition has 510 hp (380 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on 22″ Multispoke wheels wrapped in 255/35ZR22 and 295/30ZR22 tires.

Maserati MC20 Cielo with better aerodynamics and more power

In 2022, the Bavarian tuner Novitec presented a series of carbon components for the Maserati MC20 coupe, and now it does the same for the MC20 Cielo, giving the car a thrilling and individual appearance.

A special equipment package includes naked-carbon aerodynamic components such as a splitter, intake, hood vents and a ducktail rear spoiler. All of this can be combined with various exhaust upgrades including the system in the photos, which uses ultra-lightweight Inconel and optional gold accents. There are also yellow sport springs on offer that can bring the floor closer to the ground by 25 mm, and are compatible with the car’s factory front lift system. Also, customers can choose aluminum spacers for 28 or 40 mm wider wheel tracks on both axles.

When it comes to the interior, Novitec fulfills individual customer requests with exclusive interior appointments tailored to the wishes of the vehicle owner in every detail.

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-L V6 Nettuno twin-turbo engine with 711 hp (530 kW) and 603 lb-ft (818 Nm) of torque, which is 80 hp (59 kW) and 65 lb-ft (88 Nm) more than the standard model. The increase in power was achieved thanks to the N-Tronic module and the high-performance exhaust system, so now the MC20 Cielo accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds (0.2 seconds faster) with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

Novitec also offers a set of 21-inch NF11 forged rims produced in cooperation with the American company Vossen.
