Volvo EX30 with new body kit

The German tuner Heico Sportiv, specialized in Volvo and Polestar individualization, has revealed a special body kit for a small SUV with a sporty look, the Volvo EX30.

The EX30 now has body-colored bumper extensions, new side skirts, seven-part rear diffuser, Heico Sportiv badges, five-piece front spoiler, two designer air intakes, a new set of blue sports springs that lower the car by an additional 30 mm, wheel spacers (20 and 30 mm per axle, optionally in silver or black), and two different designs of 21-inch five-spoke (Volution V) and ten-spoke (Volution X) rims available in black, matte titanium and glossy black. The interior is equipped with high-quality details such as velor floor mats.

“With the Volvo EX30, we are ushering in a new era of tuning, which we define as ‘High Emotion, No Emission’. Using the EX30 as an example, we want to prove that emotional tuning is not a question of the type of drive, but that owners of a fully electric car share a passion for individualization. Our aim is to intensify the already impressive performance ex works through visual refinements. The result convincingly demonstrates that electromobility and driving pleasure can form a perfect symbiosis and make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster,” explains Holger Hedtke, Managing Director of HEICO SPORTIV.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Volvo EX30 is still powered by two electric motors with a total output of 434 hp (324 kW) and 400 lb-ft (543 Nm) of torque, more than enough to propel the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph). in 3.6 seconds.

Manhart CRE 700 based on Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance

In 2023, Mercedes introduced a new generation of C-Class that no longer uses a V8 but a more powerful plug-in hybrid four-cylinder engine, without a distinctive sound, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. It is an impressive car with racing technology that the German tuner Manhart took to a higher level with the project called MANHART CRE 700.

The CRE 700 is painted black, which is standard for most Manhart projects, with a wide gray and thin red stripe running from the front fascia over the hood and roof to the rear. It is equipped with Manhart lowering springs by H&R that lower the body by approximately 20 millimeters, new exhaust system with sports downpipe, MHtronic module, 300-cell catalytic converters, 20″ rims with red details wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 ront and 275/35 ZR20 rear Michelin tires.

Inside, the interior of the standard C 63 S E Performance is retained. The dark cabin is still adorned with sports seats, red seat belts and carbon fiber accents.

When it comes to the powertrain, the CRE 700 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor for a total of 725 hp (541 kW) and 826 lb-ft (1,120 Nm) of torque. That’s more than the 671 hp (500 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque available in the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Manhart could continue to work on the plug-in hybrid model and potentially expand the range of tuning options in the future, of course, depending on demand.

Dartz Prombron Iron Diamond CLV

Prombron Iron Diamond CLV is the latest work of Latvian based company DARTZ Motorz that designs, manufactures, and sells high performance armored vehicles. The car is based on the powerful Lamborghini Urus.

The company was founded in 2009 and Prombron is a series that comes in nine distinct models: Iron Diamond, Iron Xtal, Monaco Red Diamond Edition, Black Dragon, Black Russian, Gold Russian, Aladeen, White Horse, and Monaco.

At first glance, the exterior of the car shows a strong resemblance to the original version of the Iron Diamond that has been around for 14 years. The interior design has not been revealed, but if we consider the interiors of previous models, luxury is inevitable. Therefore, we can expect precious metals and the skin of exotic animals, which is the opposite of the sustainable materials that are very popular today.

This model was created by combining the power of Lamborghini and the elegant refinement of modern engineering. The result is the performance of a sports car, the rugged durability of a military tank and the sleek luxury of a Lamborghini. DARTZ has not announced whether the Prombron Iron Diamond CLV will use the Urus’ 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 666 hp (490 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.

The price of the Dartz Prombron Iron Diamond CLV is 2.5 million euros.
