Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 with Larte Design Body Kit

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a car of impressive performance, which many tuners have tried to make better but without much success. However, what Larte Design has done is a great job.

The GLS600 is painted black. It is equipped with a body kit that brings a larger black grille that gives cars a more aggressive look, a unique front bumper that looks more sporty, wider wheel arches, a unique light module, air suspension, AMG exhaust tailpipes, dynamic rear spoiler and diffuser, and taillights inspired by those from the world of motorsport. Most of the chrome has been removed.

Inside, there seems to have been no change, which is not bad considering the luxury the GLS600 offers. The seats are upholstered in Nappa leather which can be seen on both dashboard and door panels.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information about the changes. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system, with 558 hp (410 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC +. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

MH2 630 based on BMW M2 Competition

After the Manhart SL 800 R, German tuner Manhart unveiled its new project, the MH2 630. It is a powerful car based on the outgoing BMW M2 Competition (F87).

The car is painted black with standard gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the car. Equipped with Turbo Performance Kit, adjustable suspension, M4 GT4 braking system, stainless steel exhaust system with four 90 mm carbon exhaust pipes, CSF intercooler, original rear wheel brakes, GESI catalyst with 300 cells, front 380 mm discs with six-piston calipers and a large spoiler at the rear.

Inside, Recaro sports seats are upholstered in black leather, while the rear seats have been removed. There is also a protective cage and a lot of carbon details.

The MH2 630 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo in-line six-cylinder engine with 630 hp (463 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is pumped to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, from the BMW M4. It is mounted on 19-inch wheels wrapped in 265/35 (front) and 295/30 (rear) Michelin Cup 2 tires.

Compared to the basic M2 Competition, this is a significant increase in power. The M2 Competition has 410 hp (302 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph (280 km / h), which is more than enough but there is no doubt that the MH 630 will offer much better performance.
