Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Rolls-Royce always conquers and forever inspires. Timeless in concept yet thoroughly modern in execution, the Ghost is truly Rolls-Royce at its most graceful and dramatic. A powerful car that tuners always try to make better, like Novitec that prepared a special equipment kit, called Ghost Black Badge.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is equipped with a redesigned front bumper with sports intakes and optional integrated LED lights, sill extensions available for the standard and long-wheelbase versions, a new lip spoiler, exhaust system with or without flap-regulation. There’s also a Spofecom Can-Tronic module for the standard air suspension that lowers the Ghost by 40 mm, and automatically returns to standard height at speeds above 140 km/h.

Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 706 hp (519 kW) and 739 lb-ft (1,002 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Ghost has 603 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (841 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.3 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 22-inch Vossen rims wrapped in 265/35R22 (front) and 295/30R22 (rear) tires.

Tuned Fiat Multipla is a beast with 1,014 HP

The Fiat Multipla is a city car that some consider the ugliest car in the world. It is a six-seater with plenty of glass surfaces and numerous practical details, but redesigned, it could make a completely different impression. That’s exactly what YouTubers Sylvain Levy and Pierre Chabrier did, creating a real beast.

The car is equipped with a wide body kit from W-Autosport. The rear doors have been removed, the rear wheel arches are wider, new side skirts and a new front splitter have been installed, and the car has new wide tires.

The biggest change is under the bonnet. The standard Fiat Multipla, in the most powerful version, is powered by a 1.9 Multijet inline-4 engine with 120 hp (88 kW) and 152 lb-ft (205 Nm) of torque. However, the tuners installed, believe it or not, the engine from the Corvette C6 Z06. So now the Multipla is powered by a V8 engine with an incredible 1014 hp (746 kW). It makes it the most powerful Fiat Multipla, but also one of the most powerful cars in the world.

The car will be premiered at the Paris Motor Show.

BRABUS P 900 Rocket Edition based on the Mercedes-AMG G63

Brabus is one of the best, if not the best, tuner of Mercedes cars that this time decided to upgrade the Mercedes-AMG G63. Unlike previous projects, Brabus went a step further this time by turning the SUV into a BRABUS P 900 Rocket Edition pickup.

The car is based on the Rocket Edition Widestar exterior concept, which brings front fascia inserts and a front spoiler made of carbon fiber, side flaps, a carbon front grille with integrated “Rocket Launch” ambient light, a “PowerView” hood, new carbon bumpers, a new rear diffuser, new exhaust system, RideControl aluminum coilover suspension system that allows the ride height to be adjusted by an additional 45 mm.

The dark interior is covered with black leather in combination with “Rocket Red” and carbon accessories. The seats are upholstered in black leather with “Seashell Diamond” stitching and a red Brabus emblem. The same combination can be seen on the door panels. There is also a Panerai Luminor design analog clock integrated into the center console, aluminum pedals and “BRABUS” inscription on the door sills.

Under the hood is a 4.5L biturbo V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 585 hp. It reaches 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h). Power is transmitted to both axles via a 9-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually or automatically.
