The German tuner Posaidon, specialized in Mercedes cars, has improved another AMG model. It is a Mercedes AMG GT R Roadster with an impressive 880 hp and a top speed of 224 mph.

This outstanding Roadster with impressive performance comes with four equipment packages. The Stage 1 offers a twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine of 780 hp (574 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, thanks to standard turbochargers and a modified ECU.

The Stage 2 package (RS 830) offers 830 hp (610 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. Stage 3 (830+) offers the highest performance, delivering 880 hp (647 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. This package comes with a better sports exhaust system, a modified ECU, forged pistons, 20-inch forged wheels and a better steering system, and many other improvements.

The most powerful package allows the GT R to reach 62 mph (100 km / h) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 224 mph (360 km / h). The engine is paired with an upgraded seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

All packages offer better performance than the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series. As a reminder, the Black Series is powered by a twin turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 730 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h).

Lotus Type 62-2 Limited Edition

After half a century of sleep, the Radford company revived the Lotus Type 62-2. It’s a ’69 model that came back to life thanks to Jenson Button, Mark Stubbs and Ant Anstead. Only 62 copies will be produced at an unknown price.

This ultra light sports car comes in three versions: Classic, Gold Leaf and JPS. Engineers have equipped the Lotus Type 62-2 with a new reinforced carbon fiber body and aluminum chassis. This reduces the weight of the car below 1,000 kg. All versions come with a titanium exhaust system.

The most powerful versions, the JPS and Gold Leaf, are powered by a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine with 600 hp (447 kW) and 500 hp (373 kW). With an adjustable chassis, both versions use carbon wheels and carbon ceramic disc brakes, a limited-slip electronic differential, as well as other upgrades to make the engine easier to handle with extra boost.

The Classic version of the Type 62-2 uses the same engine as the more powerful versions, with 430 hp (321 kW). The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (optional). The car uses 17-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels.

Inside, there’s a rear-view camera, a five-speaker stereo and a six-inch digital instrument cluster. Radford will allow every buyer to make a car according to their wishes.

Porsche Taycan with the new TechArt body kit

German tuner TechArt has introduced a new body kit for the EV Porsche Taycan. It contains carbon fiber components in glossy black or a color of your choice.

The car uses the same powertrain as the base Taycan. For example, the Taycan 4S is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 435 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The engines are centrally mounted on the front and rear axles. It reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h). The 93.4 kWh Lithium-ion battery produces enough juice to cover a range of 233 miles (375 km).

At the front of the vehicle are air curtains, a front splitter and a central intake, all made of carbon fiber. At the rear, there is a multi-part carbon fiber diffuser frame and a sports spoiler that shows that it is not a basic Porsche Taycan.

The interior is done in a sporty spirit. The seats are upholstered in perforated black leather and jet-black Alcantara. Contrasting green elements and embroidered TECHART logotype can be found on the seats, dashboard and door trims.

The car uses forged aluminum Formula VI 10.0 x 22-inch (front) and 11.5 x 22-inch (rear) wheels.
