Ferrari SF90 Stradale with new equipment kit

While Ferrari is intensively preparing the new SF90 Stradale, which is hidden behind the name Versione Speciale, and will be optimized for use on the track, the German tuning company Novitec made an effort to equip the current plug-in hybrid with a special equipment package.

The car received a modified suspension and sports springs that push the LaFerrari successor closer to the ground by 30 millimeters. There are also many parts such as air intakes on the wheel arches, roof spoiler, rear spoiler, diffusor, front spoiler lip, duck tail, mirror upper parts, front lid, all made of naked-carbon.

When it comes to the powertrain, Novitec has added a few more horsepower thanks to a modified ECU and a new exhaust system. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine supported by three electric motors with a total power of 1,109 hp (816 kW). That’s enough power to push the two-seater up to 62 mph in just 2.4 seconds with a top speed of more than 211 mph (340 km/h). It is mounted on a set of 21-inch hi-tech forged wheels developed in cooperation with US manufacturer Vossen.

By comparison, the standard Ferrari SF90 Stradale is powered by the same 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine assisted by three electric motors with a total output of 986 hp (725 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

BRABUS B30 PowerXtra and BRABUS D30

While we wait for Mercedes-AMG to unveil the most powerful version of the recently introduced new generation C-Class, Brabus has decided to present the BRABUS B30 PowerXtra and BRABUS D30. These are two upgraded models from the current range, the Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic and the Mercedes-Benz C300d.

Several carbon elements give the car a new elegant look, but also increase stability and better handling. Also, thanks to the new sports springs, it is now an additional 30 millimeters closer to the ground, which makes driving more exciting. Brabus equipped both C-Class models with a new front skirt insert, front flaps, rear spoiler, which increased downforce. There is also a new exhaust system with immaculate black chrome tips.

Inside, the BRABUS Masterpiece interior brings comfortable sports seats in black and black-red combination that can also be seen on the door panels, carbon door sill trims with illuminated BRABUS logo, aluminum pedal pads, and other sporty accessories such as BRABUS door latch pins. Also, Brabus allows each owner to customize the interior according to their own wishes.

BRABUS D30 is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 310 hp (228 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 5.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

BRABUS B30 PowerXtra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 5.8 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition

The exclusive tuner of the Mercedes-AMG cars, Performmaster, has introduced the Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG C63.

The car is painted in metallic gray and is equipped with a special equipment kit. This includes much wider fenders, typical performmaster grill, large air intakes, double exhaust tailpipes, AMG diffuser and the spoiler lip on the boot lid that provide the sporty finish.

The Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 612 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (840 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the standard model with 510 hp (375 kW) and 519 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The V8 Final Edition reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 km / h).

Increasingly strict regulations on CO2 emissions have forced Mercedes to slowly abandon the 4-liter V8 engine after giving up the legendary biturbo V12. Some information says that the V8 engine will not be offered in the new generation C-Class (W206), which will be powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder Hybrid.

It is unknown at this time how much the upgrade will cost. For those who can afford it, it could be a good investment given that the price of the Mercedes-AMG C63 is expected to rise in the future.
