Manhart S 400 based on Audi S3

For the beginning of 2023, Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart S 400. The car is based on the Audi S3 sedan, which with its 306 hp provides exceptional performance. However, Manhart believes that the car can show much more.

The S 400 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 405 hp (299 kW) and 380 lb-ft (515 Nm) of torque. That’s more power than the current sporty RS3, which has 400 hp (294 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission. The S 400’s performance hasn’t been announced, but considering the S3 hits 60 in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h), the tuned model will be much better.

The tuner equipped the S 400 with a new exhaust system made by the company Remus, a new set of 19-inch Concave One aluminum rims with a finish in satin black wrapped in 235/35ZR19 tires, a tuned suspension with MANHART lowering H&R springs thanks to which it is 30 millimeters lower than the S3, two twin tailpipes and carbon casing, MANHART Carbon Air Intake and remapped MANHART ECU.

The Manhart S 400 will probably meet the criteria of most Audi enthusiasts as it offers more potential than the Audi RS3.

Widebody Toyota GR Supra

Debates about cars are constant, and one of them has been going on for years. It is about whether Toyota, by creating the A90 model, achieved what was expected with the GR Supra model. Opinions differ, but one car is undoubtedly attracting attention.

This example is the work of the company Wheels Boutique, which equipped the Supra with a special body kit and a new set of Anrky Wheels rims wrapped in Toyo R888R tires, which enhanced the aggressive look of the vehicle. Traditional Supra fans may not like it, but those who like tuned Japanese models will probably give it a positive rating.

The body kit was done by Street Hunter Designs and includes front and rear wheel arch extensions, a new splitter and a large rear wing that extends from the standard trunk lid spoiler, as well as a new diffuser.

Liberty Walk equipped the Lexus LX600 with wide body kit

After the recently revealed body kit for the legendary model of the car manufacturer from Maranello, Ferrari F40, this time the Japanese tuner Liberty Walk has prepared a body kit for the domestic brand, Lexus LX 600. The standard LX 600 is an impressive SUV, and now it is even more dominant.

As before, the tuner did not overdo it this time either, because the car was upgraded with only a few components. The Lexus LX 600 will be exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show, and Liberty Walk has decided to reveal its work earlier.

At first glance, the attention is drawn to the carbon hood, which retains the same simple shape of the standard LX 600, but this time, air vents have been added on both sides. There is a set of specially made carbon wheel arch extensions as well as massive AME Wheels glossy black rims with Yokohama tires.

Of course there were no changes under the hood. The LX 600 is powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V-6 engine with 409 hp (301 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Liberty Walk did not say how much the modifications will cost.
