Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8 tuned by Slystyle

German tuners have never paid much attention to American cars, which cannot be said for Slystyle. Its latest work is one of the powerful American sports cars, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8, for which the tuner has prepared better aerodynamics and more horsepower.

Slystyle equipped the car with a new front splitter that creates an additional 50 kg of downforce, new front bumper wings, new sills, rear wing, rear diffuser that creates an additional 80 kg of downforce. As an option, Slystyle offers springs that lower the car by an additional 20mm. Inside, the original design has been retained.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Corvette Stingray C8 is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 495 hp (364 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. Slystyle did not say how much extra horsepower and torque its car has, but thanks to the K&N high-flow air filter, customized intake and exhaust ports and a Grail exhaust system with four 114 mm tailpipes, we can expect more than what the base model offers, given that the ECU unit has not been remapped. Also, the tuner claims it reaches 124 mph (200 km/h) in 13.5 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the base model.

The car has a set of 20 and 21 inch rims wrapped in 255/30R20 (front) and 325/25R21 (rear) tires.

Porsche 912 Restomod

Between 1965 and 1969, Porsche produced one of its sports cars that was an entry-level variant of the 911, the Porsche 912. It was offered in compact 2+2 Coupé and Targa body styles with an air-cooled 4-cylinder engine taken from model 356.

The Hungarian company Kamm Manufaktur will present a restomod of the 912 called the Kamm 912c, which will be available at a price of €325,000. The car has kept its original shape and the steel parts are replaced by carbon fibers, which reduced the weight from the original 968 kilograms to 750 kilograms. It is equipped with an adjustable suspension that includes coilovers with custom tuning, reinforced chassis, Lexan windows, new shock absorbers, Brembo aluminum brakes and a set of new tires.

Inside, the design from the Porsche 912 has been retained with some changes such as carbon seats replacing the original ones and plenty of accessories made of lightweight materials.

The standard Porsche 912 is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp (67 kW) and 98 lb-ft (133 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential. However, Kamm Manufaktur installed a new 2.0-liter flat-four engine, produced by JPS Aircooled, with 170 hp (127 kW).

Manhart TR 750 based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S

The German tuner Manhart revealed its new work, the Manhart TR 750. The car is based on one of the most powerful models from the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world, the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Manhart prepared a special equipment kit for this model, which brings H&R springs that bring the car closer to the ground by an additional 30 mm, MANHART decal set, 200 cell downpipes and a full exhaust from Kline innovation to enhance the sound track of the powerful sports car.

The basic Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the software remap, the TR 750 has 100 hp more than the base model, so it now counts up to 750 hp. That’s 50 hp more than the 911 GT2 RS, which is powered by the same engine with 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (PDK) that transmits power to both axles.

Manhart hasn’t released performance data for the tuned TR 750, but we expect nothing less than what the Porsche 911 Turbo S can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h.
