Ferrari 458 Challenge Silhouette

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a fantastic high-performance car that, according to many, should remain untouched and unmodified, but Liberty Walk apparently thinks otherwise and has been producing a body kit called the Silhouette for the past few years. Now the Japanese tuner has shown its new creation based on the Ferrari 458 Challenge.

The car is equipped with a carbon fiber body kit, and special attention is focused on the front part, where a new grille, a unique splitter and aerodynamic wings on the outer edges of the bumper are installed. The Liberty Walk Silhouette package also includes a new hood with large air vents, while subtle vents similar to those on the 458 Speciale can be seen as well as a blacked-out Ferrari logo below the license plate.

Also, new carbon fiber mirrors, new door panels and aerodynamic side skirts were installed, and the Ferrari got a set of new rims with central studs. According to the photos, the car is closer to the ground, so it can be assumed that air suspension is also installed. At the back, you can see a new spoiler and diffuser that increases downforce but also makes the car look more aggressive.

There were no changes under the hood, so the Ferrari 458 Challenge is still powered by a 4.5L V8 engine with 570 hp (419 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual F1 transmission. It reaches 60 in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

BMW i8 – more aggressive than ever

In 2021, BMW premiered its ultimate new generation car, the BMW i8. It is a plug-in hybrid car, ahead of its time, which always attracts attention thanks to its design. Now, Japanese car shop Liberty Walk has decided to make it even “crazier”.

Almost every panel of the car has been modified. The specially designed body kit includes a new bumper with a more prominent splitter and a pair of wings, a carbon hood, widened fenders, new wider side skirts, a rear wing and a new diffuser. There’s also a set of black Forgiato rims wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires.

The car really looks impressive and its exterior is decorated with a pink body, a black hood, black mirror caps and a black roof.

When it comes to the drive, nothing has been changed. The BMW i8 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 369 hp (271 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. It hits 60 mph in about 4.4 seconds. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Using only the electric motor the car has a range of only 22 miles.

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.
