Ferrari 296 GTB with 900 hp

In the middle of last year, Ferreri introduced the 296 GTB model. It is Ferrari’s first “real” model that is powered by a six-cylinder engine, and due to the hybrid powertrain, it is far from the entry-level model. German tuning company DMC has improved the aerodynamics and engine performance of this model.

The car is painted red with black carbon parts, and the company says that the aerodynamics of the vehicle enable increased grip in corners and handling. The 296 GTB is equipped with a new set of springs that bring the floor of the Ferrari two-seater closer to the ground by an additional 35 millimeters.

The Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 654 hp (488 kW) and an electric motor with 165 hp (123 kW) that give a total of 819 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. Thanks to turbochargers, DMC engineers have raised the power to 900 hp (662 kW), which (with a recalibrated gearbox) should further improve the performance of the 1,470 kilogram heavy plug-in hybrid. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The base model reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h).

The price of the upgrade of the Ferrari 296 GTB costs 270,000 EUR, which does not include the optional Assetto Fiorano package.

Toyota Supra with shark look

The Toyota Supra is obviously very interesting to tuners, one of the proofs is the Toyota Supra (A90) with a shark look. It is the work of Zacoe Performance, which has developed a special body kit for this car. The company has prepared several body kits for different models, among which this one stands out the most.

A special body kit brings the olive green color of the body. On both sides of the carbon fiber hood are three openings, reminiscent of shark gills. The carbon fiber front splitter, as well as the side skirts, make the car look closer to the ground. The car got slightly wider wheel arches. At the rear, there is a new diffuser and a large spoiler that complement the sporty look of the car.

How much the body kit will increase the width of the car Zacoe has not revealed. The price of the body kit is not known either, but it is available on request.
