The U.S. supercar tuner has presented its take on the 2019 Bentley Bentayga. The luxury SUV has around 7,000 km (4,400 miles) under its belt and goes for $239,000 – a $50,000+ premium over a brand-new 2021 Bentayga.

The bold and aggressive body kit is the first thing that catches the eye. The styling direction reminds that of Mansory, and the approach is quite comprehensive with the front bumper, hood, rear diffuser, roof wing and tailgate spoiler all replaced. Rare red accents liven up the glossy black exterior, and 23-inch Onyx Forged rims fill out their respective arches shod in Continental tires.

The interior makes use of genuine red and black leather adorned with diamond stitching and lots of chrome details. The spec lists such modern niceties as HVAC, sat-nav, heated seats, high-end audio, and basically everything else you’d expect a luxury SUV to have.

A four-liter twin-turbo V8 under the hood enjoys a push from the original 542 to 700 PS (535 – 690 hp; 400 – 515 kW). This enables the bulky crossover to reach 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 4.4 seconds. Top speed lies at 290 km/h (180 mph).

The “rolling work of art”, as Creative Bespoke calls it, has around $90,000 in mods installed.

Bring-a-Trailer is offering a rather impressive-looking blue 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S remodeled into a serious SUV for off-roading and camping.

The main highlights are a 50mm (2”) suspension lift, 18-inch aftermarket wheels wrapped in mud tires, and a spare wheel attached to the tailgate. Four anti-fog lights adorn the front end, and the roof trunk can serve as an expedition rack or a camping tent holder.

The interior makes use of black leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber. A 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 drives the wheels with 520 PS (513 hp / 382 kW) through a six-speed A/T and transfer case.

A client of Singer Vehicle Design wanted to participate in serious rallies, including the Dakar Rally and Baja 1000, so he ordered two custom 4WD Porsche 911s.

The U.S.-based tuner worked with two 964-gen models, converting the white one into a hardcore desert racer and the red one into an asphalt-loving rally car. Both ended up with numerous chassis reinforcements, AWD systems with three differentials, dogboxes for transmission, and carbon-fiber bodies. The list goes on to mention long-travel shocks, forged alloy wheels, internal roll cages, and racing-grade instrument clusters.

Powering both cars is a 3.6-liter flat-six engine fitted with dual turbochargers and individual cooling systems for each cylinder row. The nominal output amounts to 456 PS (450 hp / 335 kW) and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque.

Singer says it will be taking pre-orders for similar builds soon.

Hyundai has recently refreshed its favorite hot hatch, the i30N, landing it with numerous subtle improvements across the board. For the pre-facelift car owners not to be too sour, Prior Design came up with a neat styling package.

The kit is called PDN30X and includes 10-piece fender flares (4-piese front / 6-piece rear), a roof spoiler, a rear diffuser, and a front bumper. Everything comes made from practical GFRP and Duraflex, but you can order carbon fiber instead if you don’t mind paying premium. Also on the list are convenient running boards and an engine bay cover.

In its most affordable GFRP guise, the kit costs mere €4,000, and even drops to €3,150 if you omit the widened fenders. It remains uncertain whether (or when) the 2021 Hyundai i30N gets something similar.

The Model Y is far from being a pinnacle of automotive design. It sure has its perks – like all Elon Musk’s creations do – but pales before most of the competition. Luckily for us, this issue is one that is easy to fix.

The solution comes from U.S.-based wheel vendor Vossen Wheels. Its Monoblock Forged collection has a set called Vossen M-X4T, which really helps set your car apart from the others. Installed on the show car here are 22-inch rims finished in a light bronze – nearly golden – hue. Five groups of three asymmetrical spokes each look refreshingly elegant and unlike most conventional designs, while low-profile tires emphasize the sporty elegance of the electric SUV.

A neat extra detail can be found on the hubcaps: the Vossen logo has been repainted blue instead of the usual red. This lets it mingle well with the brake calipers and the front bumper insert of the same color.

As one would expect, a wheel set such as this one would not come cheap. Prices begin from U.S. $1,800 per Monoblock wheel before options, and rise to $2,200 per wheel if you’d rather have a 3-Piece Forged model. On the other hand, beautiful things like this always come with a price tag attached.

In summer 2018, Manhart Performance unveiled its own rendition of the BMW F90 M5, which it pushed to 723 PS (713 hp / 532 kE) and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of torque. The new MH5 800 Black Edition announced this week promises to be even stronger than that.

The tuner will only build five such cars, fitting each one with a visible-carbon aerodynamic kit consisting of two spoilers and a rear diffuser, 20-inch Manhart Concave One wheels, slammed KW suspension, and 100mm (4”) exhaust tips with bespoke finish.

More work will be done under the hood: the company says it will upgrade the turbos, reinforce the transmission and re-calibrate the ECU to raise output to 823 PS (812 hp / 605 kW) and 1,050 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque.

Acceleration times and prices remain to be announced.

The Manhart Performance team converted the fifth-generation Toyota Supra into a custom car called the GR 450 several month ago (see video), and now follows up with an update called GR 550.

While the previous build had 450 metric horsepower at its disposal (which converts into 444 hp, or 331 kW), the one revealed this week commands 550 PS (542 hp / 404 kW). The BMW B58 engine under the hood gains a TTE 685 supercharger, a Wagner Tuning radiator, an ARMAspeed carbon-fiber intake system, and an F1 Exhaust system fitted with a 200-cell catalytic converter and a Wagner downpipe. Fuel system upgrades and a MHtronik Powerbox round off the modifications, raising the power to the abovementioned value and the torque to 770 Nm (568 lb-ft).

Manhart also tweaks shock absorbers and installs shortened H&R springs, but you may opt for KW Variant 3 coilovers if you’d like to fine-tune the ride height.

The car comes wrapped in a matte gold wrap with a black stripe running along and an AC Schnitzer splitter at the front end. In-house Concave One wheels come shod in 255/30 R20 tires at the front and 295/25 R20 ones in the back. The interior and the brakes remain unmodified on the show car, but the tuner will fulfil nearly any bespoke order.

The parts are available as a kit and separately. The performance upgrade alone will set you back €9,750, the wrap €3,400, the variable-height suspension kit €2,202, and the splitter €900.

Munich-based luxury car tuner Hofele has unveiled the Ultimate HG, a modded Mercedes G-Class that it calls “an ultra-opulent cross between a limo and an SUV.”

The G-Wagon landed with rear doors that swing open opposite to the driving direction, automatic slide-out running boards, chrome décor, extended wheel arches, bi-color Hofele Turbine wheels 23 inches across, and assorted parts such as a front bumper, radiator grille, headlight bezels and door handles.

Crack open the door, and you will be greeted by Nappa and Alcantara coming in two different shades of grey, as well as individual rear seats that support power adjustments, heating, ventilation and massage functions. The trunk area is a work of art in itself with its aluminum trim and black piano lacquer finish.

Pricing remains unannounced.

Hennessey Performance has unveiled the Venom 800 Supercharged, a series of just 100 Ford F-150 pickup trucks boosted to 816 PS (800 hp / 596 kW) – almost twice the original power.

The donor vehicle is an F-150 Super Crew, which comes equipped with a non-turbo 5.0-liter V8. The upgrade kit by Hennessey is turbocharger-based and also includes a stainless-steel exhaust system, a fuel pump and some other performance components. The power rating cited above is attainable as long as you pour in E85 instead of regular gasoline. The bulky truck zaps from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in mere 3.6 seconds and does not hit its speed ceiling until 187 km/h (116 mph).

Further noteworthy improvements include Brembo brakes, 20-inch wheels, a new front bumper with LED DRLs, and a different radiator grille.

Prices start from U.S. $149,500.

British tuner MS-RT has been building and selling plenty of custom rally-themed Ford Transit Connect minivans (see video), and now the company wants to make history with a limited-run model.

The so-called MS-RT R120, which is shown in our gallery here, is already available to pre-order starting from £25,995. The company will be making 30 units for the United Kingdom and six more for Northern Ireland. Buyers will decide on cab size (two or three seats) and wheelbase length (standard or extended). The body and the sporty aero kit will be finish in white in all versions, and bi-Xenon headlights will be installed.

Inside, the steering wheel will be trimmed with carbon fiber, the seats will be wrapped in leather with red stitching, and standard features will include dual sliding doors, a reversing camera and a wireless charging pad.

The production will take place in South Wales. According to the company executive Edward Davies, the MS-RT R120 is destined to become a collector’s item that may end up being worth several times its original asking price.
