Car tuning shop Brabus has revealed a new upgrade package for the German-made SUV Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S. The kit comes with design improvements and a performance boost.

Once retrofitted with a Brabus control chip, the stock four-cylinder turbocharged engine of the car goes up from 510 hp (380 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb·ft) of torque to 600 hp (447 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb·ft). The boost enables the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S to accelerate 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.6 seconds.

The vehicle also gets a custom-made set of 22-inch wheels, an improved active exhaust system, lowered suspension and carbon-titanium exhaust pipes.

Another paid option offered by Brabus is an interior finishing that involves natural leather, chamois and occasional carbon elements here and there.

The atelier didn’t make the price of the package publicly available.

The Ford Mustang muscle car is quite a head-turner as it is. However, some owners still prefer to customize their Mustangs to stand out in the crowd even more.

This is the case at hand. The owner of this Ford Mustang came to the Peicher Performance car atelier, asking to have its ride outfitted with a body kit by the famous Japanese tuner Liberty Walk.

The kit included wheel arch extenders, a rear and a front spoiler, a diffusor, side skirts and front fenders. To justify the enlarged wheel wells, the atelier retrofitted the car with stylish 21-inch forged wheels.

Peicher Performance also lacquered the vehicle in a rich yellow color, making it look like a racecar.

Among other things, the Ford Mustang left the garage equipped with new spacers, lowered suspension, upgraded struts and an advanced active exhaust system.

The price of the upgrade was never mentioned.

German car atelier Lumma Design has presented a styling package for the hi-end Range Rover Sport SVR. The new body kit lends the British SUV an even more aggressive appearance.

The styling kit includes a carbon hood cover with air vents in it, wheel arch extenders, side skirts, a rear bumper with a diffusor, and a front bumper reworked to incorporate some carbon decorative elements and daytime running lights.

The vehicle sports a vivid blue paintjob and a set of custom-made 23-inch wheels clad in Continental tires. 24-inch wheels are also available at a premium.

Lumma Design remained silent about any kind of under-the-hood modifications. In its production version, the SUV comes driven by a 5.0L V8 turbocharged gasoline engine with 575 hp (430 kW). It accelerates 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.5 seconds.

The atelier never mentioned the cost of the package.

G-Power has unveiled a new tuning kit for the German estate car Mercedes-AMG E 63 S. The proposed chip tuning program takes its performance up to the stellar 800 hp (~600 kW).

It has to be said that the vehicle already commands plenty of raw power in its production version. Driven by a 4.0L turbocharged gasoline engine with 612 hp (456 kW), it reaches 100 km/h (60 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds.

Once the G-Power upgrade is applied, the performance springs up by 188 hp (140 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb·ft) of torque to a total of 800 hp (600 kW) and 1,100 Nm (810 lb·ft). The only modification necessary to achieve such a spectacular result takes place in the engine control unit.

The upgrade enables the car to sprint 0-100 km/h 0.3s faster than before and accelerate to a maximum of 340 km/h (211 mph), as opposed to the standard 300 km/h (186 mph).

G-Power optionally offers a new 20-inch forged wheel set for the upgraded Mercedes-AMG E 63 S.

Car tuner Brabus has revealed the first customization package for the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class with the G500 body type.

The production vehicle comes equipped with a 4.0-liter turbocharged engine rated at 422 hp (315 kW) and a multi-speed automatic transmission. It needs under 6 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h (60 mph).

The upgrade brings the performance up 78 hp to a total 500 (373 kW), reducing the acceleration time by 0.2s. This is achieved through the installation of a higher-grade exhaust system and an update of the engine control firmware.

Among other things, the modded Mercedes-Benz G-Class features a new body kit and bumpers, carbon-fiber light rack on the roof, a spoiler, a large air intake, and a set of originally styled 23-inch wheels.

The interior is draped in genuine leather and chamois.

Brabus did not reveal the price of the package.

Car tuning atelier Brabus has revealed an option package for the Smart ForTwo Cabrio, titled the 125R. The urban car received designer-made wheels, lowered suspension and three exhaust pipes reminiscent of those seen on the Ferrari 458. The company will issue a limited series of 125 cars priced at €40,000 each.

The new Brabus 125R offers leather-draped sport seats, an anodized paddle shifter, a heavy-duty handbrake and aluminum pedal pads – in other words, things you would expect a serious sport car to have.

The vehicle is still driven by its stock three-cylinder turbocharged engine boosted to 125 hp (93 kW) and 200 Nm (148 lb·ft) of torque. It accelerates 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in slightly above 9 seconds and may eventually hit 175 km/h.

There are times when a car design atelier just cannot fulfil all the client’s whims and has to invite a third party to join in on the project. This was exactly the case with the latest collaboration between M Performance and AC Schnitzer Parts on the BMW X4 M40i.

M Performance designed the carbon side mirror holders, while AC Schnitzer Parts produced the spoiler and the rear wing. On the inside, the coupe-SUV received new seats draped in red leather and decorative carbon panels.

From the mechanical point of view, the BMW X4 M40i got new, high-performance brakes and reworked suspension. Its stock 3.0-liter turbocharged engine with 350 hp (261 kW) remained intact.

The ateliers said nothing about the costs associated with the project.

Pogea Racing has released a rather non-trivial upgrade package for the Alfa Romeo 4C sport car. The deal includes a number of exterior and interior improvements, as well as some modifications under the hood.

The tuner team painted the car vivid green with pearlescent effect, thus imitating the livery of the latest Aston Martin Vantage.

The company replaced the stock seat upholstery with the same grade of leather as the one that comes with Lamborghini cars. It also applied generous amounts of chamois and carbon fiber.

On the technical side of things, the Alfa Romeo 4C had its 1.7-liter turbocharged engine boosted from the stock 237 hp (177 kW) to 332 hp (248 kW). The torque went up from 350 Nm (258 lb·ft) to 465 Nm (343 lb·ft).

Pogea Racing didn’t provide any acceleration-related data. The stock version of the car accelerates to 100 km/h (60 mph) in less than five seconds.

Prices have not been touched upon.

A Japanese owner of a Chrysler 300C wanted to spice up the appearance of his big sedan/saloon car. In an effort to make it really stand out in the crowd, he decided against custom carbon body moldings or cool aerodynamic parts Instead, he simply placed an order with Forgiato for a set of colossal 26-inch wheels.

This is what a Chrysler 300C wearing 26” Forgiato OG Fiore wheels looks like. “Fiore” means “flower” in Spanish, and the rim outlines actually approach those of a chamomile flower.

To further accentuate the sheer size of the wheels, each one received a custom-designed set of LED lights. To top things off, Forgiato installed a new radiator grille reminiscent of those that come with Bentley cars.

How much the upgrade of the Chrysler 300C cost its owner remains undisclosed.

When Porsche announced plans to release a special edition of its Carrera coupe, named T, many hoped it would offer superb engine performance. As it turned out, the new Carrera T was only marginally stronger than the standard model. The car tuning atelier TechArt decided to address this problem by developing an engine upgrade for it.

The team has improved the stock three-liter V6 engine to 425 hp (317 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb·ft) of torque. The latter went up 80 Nm (59 lb·ft) thanks to the installation of a new titanium/carbon exhaust system.

The tuned-up Porsche Carrera T accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in four seconds flat. Its regular counterpart achieves the same in 4.3s.

The upgrade costs $9,200.

Apart from the Carrera T, the company has also released similar packages for the Carrera GTS, S, and the standard Carrera.
