Mercedes-AMG G63 in “Algorithmic Fade”

One of the most popular tuners in the world, Mansory, presented a special equipment kit for the latest generation of the G-Class, the Mercedes-AMG G63, called “Algorithmic Fade”.

The exterior of the car is decorated with a turquoise color that flows from front to back into black, truly remarkable. It is part of the individualization strategy called “Mansory Bespoke” which brings a lot of carbon fiber parts such as a new front bumper, roof spoiler, front lip, hood, air intake housing and other components.

Inside, the entire interior is done in a single color. The front and rear seats, floor mats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel and ceiling are covered with specially made turquoise Feroza leather. There are also carbon inserts on the armrests, doors and dashboard, while the Mansory logo and lettering are on the door sills.

The standard Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 585 hp (430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. However, Mansory thanks to a remapped ECU, a new exhaust system and a downpipe has increased the power of the engine which now delivers 850 hp (625 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s plenty of power to propel the G63 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It is mounted on a set of black 24 inch wheels.

The first Singer Porsche 911 Turbo Study Cabriolet

Singer Group is known for restoring the 911 models to their original state, using the best parts in multigenerational evolution, to create the perfect car. Until now, all cars were with a hard top. However, that changed as Singer recently unveiled its first 911 Cabriolet as part of its Turbo Study.

“Our goal with the Turbo Study is to distill the awesome thrill of Porsche’s first ‘supercar’ while reimagining its performance and refinement. We’re excited that owners can now choose to enjoy these traits with the roof down,” said the company’s founder and CEO, Rob Dickinson.

The company is focused on making unique examples in cooperation with their owners. This time it’s a Porsche 911 (930), and the inspiration was the first Porsche Sport 356/1, which was also a convertible. “I’ve long wanted to celebrate that part of Porsche heritage at Singer and doing so as part of our recently announced Turbo Study seems a perfect place to start,” said Dickinson.

The carbon body is painted in Cadiz Red, and the car is equipped with improved suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. Inside, there are sports electrically adjustable carbon seats with fabric. The fabric can also be seen on the door panels. In front of the passenger on the dashboard is a “Singer” inscription.

Under the hood is the engine from his first reimagined 911 Turbo Study. It is an air-cooled 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW), which is 60 hp (44 kW) more than the first delivered Singer 911 Turbo in the Touring edition. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Also on offer will be an engine with 450 hp (330 kW), and AWD as an option.

New aerodynamic kit for Mercedes EQS

With the increased demand for electric vehicles, many were of the opinion that the future of tuners was threatened. However, Brabus has shown with its latest creation that even electric cars can be a good basis for an upgrade. Such is the case with the Mercedes EQS, which the tuner equipped with a special aerodynamic package.

The EQS 450 is Mercedes’ most powerful electric model, for which Brabus has prepared a new carbon front spoiler, front lip, trims for the side air intakes, rear diffuser, rear spoiler in glossy or matte finish. All this had an effect on increasing driving stability. The drag coefficient is now 0.20, making the EQS the best in its segment when it comes to production cars.

Inside, the car is decorated with an illuminated BRABUS logo on the door sills, aluminum and carbon pedals, as well as a combination of elaborately quilted leather and velor. Each owner can personalize the interior of the car as they wish.

The Mercedes EQS 450 is powered by an electric engine with 329 hp (245 kW) and 417 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque and has a range of 397 miles (640 km). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 1-speed gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). It is equipped with a 107.8 kWh battery that can be charged to 80 percent in 32 minutes thanks to the fast charger. Better aerodynamics have increased the range by 7 percent when the car is traveling between 100 and 140 km/h, so the range is now 425 miles (685 km).

Brabus also equipped the car with SportXtra suspension, which allows the front part to be lowered by 15 mm and the rear by 25 mm. It sits on a 22-inch set of forged Monoblock Z “Platinum Edition” wheels wrapped in 255/35 ZR22 (front) and 295/30 ZR22 (rear) tires.
