This 1969 Ford Mustang GT was present at the Prior Design space at the recently concluded Essen Motor Show. Highlights include the body kit, the wheels and the cabin.

The kit, in our opinion, truly shows the degree of mastery Prior Design is capable of: none of the parts strays from the classical styling of the original car, however enormous it might be. The gigantic front spoiler, the muscular arches and hood, the side skirts, the diffuser and the ducktail spoiler – everything looks like something the vintage Mustang might have shipped with.

Naturally, the wheels are represented by Prior Design’s own PD3 forged set with a six-dual-spoke design. The suspension is air-cushioned.

The cabin greets with an abundance of premium black leather and Alcantara stitched red for contrast. The Recaro seats are made of carbon fiber, the steering wheel is a one-off, and there are plenty of carbon trim elements used throughout.

The tuner decided against messing with the engine and transmission of the 50-year-old Mustang GT, limiting itself to replacing the worn-out components. This makes this project only a partial restomod – or simply an exquisitely well-restored vintage car with a pair of modern gimmicks, whichever you prefer.

It has been a while since we heard from Saleen Factory, but naturally, the U.S.-based tuner has been busy all along and released quite a few interesting things in the meantime. For now, let us look at this 2019 Ford Mustang reimagined as the S302 Black Label.

The company takes the TI-VCT V8 variant of the Mustang as a starting point and carries out a massive performance upgrade to bring its output all the way up to 811 PS (800 hp, or 596 kW). This makes it stronger than the Shelby GT 500 and even comparable with the Shelby American GT500 Dragon Snake!

Outside, though, there is little to tell the modded Mustang from the stock one. The front spoiler looks sportier, sure, the skirts have been lowered and the wheel arches widened. The hood cover boasts new air intakes, and there are a new diffuser and rear wing at the back end. Other than that, the style of the kit mimics the original to the point it takes a second look to notice the difference.

The car boasts an orange paintjob and rides on five-spoke forged rims measuring 20 inches in diameter.

The inside shots show new seat upholstery, steering wheel and dashboard.

Prices for the Saleen S302 Black Label in the USA begin from $78,495.

Ever since the Tesla Model 3 debuted in March 2016, people have been quarreling about its interior design quality. Some praise it for being ‘perfectly clean’, while others denounce it as ‘plain and boring’. Bulgarian tuner Vilner decided to spruce things up a bit for the latter category of clientele.

As you can see on the photos, the EV now boasts an appealing turquoise/orange contrast trim with a wood finish on the dashboard and hound’s-tooth pattern on the seat upholstery.

The tuner used nature-friendly imitation leather alongside wool for the project. The middles of the seats and headrests, the center console, the pillars and the doors are turquoise, and the sun visors, the safety belts and the steering wheel are orange. The resulting contrast is rather compelling, indeed.

So, how do you like this Tesla? Does it have that ‘warm and cozy’ feeling now?

The Ford S-Max has much going for it: excellent dynamics, sporty looks, and enough space to fit the family in – these are but the highlights. But you wouldn’t want to use it off the road too often, would you?

This is what the management at H&R must have thought when they approved these lowering springs into production. A set costs €367 and reduces the road clearance by 35 mm (1.4 inches) on both axles. As a result, the car experiences less rolling in corners and while overtaking.

Also available for the model are Trak+ wheel spacers, which you can use to extend the wheelspan by 40 – 60 mm (1.6 – 2.4 inches). These start from €142 per axle.

After launching the Black OPS editions of the Ford F-250 and F-150, Tuscany Motor Company follows up with another interesting project: the Badlander.

Essentially a souped-up Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you can order it in any authorized Ford dealership throughout the United States. The differences include the body kit, suspension, wheels, exhaust system, and interior.

On the outside, the truck boasts a new front spoiler with ‘Badlander’ written on it, LED-based DRLs, and towing eyes. It also has fender flares, illuminated running boards that extend and retract automatically, a quad-pipe stainless-steel exhaust system, and underchassis protection.

The suspension benefits from taller BDS springs, Fox 2.0 shock absorbers, and vivid-red stabilizers. Tuscany Offroad 20” wheels come wrapped in BFG KO2 all-terrain tires.

The cabin takes advantage of natural leather with carbon fiber and aluminum touches here and there.

British car tuner Overfinch has come up with an exclusive makeover for the Defender 90. Highlights include a soft top and a cargo area finished with teakwood marine yacht-style.

The car losers its rear seat row in favor of the aforementioned cargo department, an internal roll cage with the soft top fastened to it, and a lockbox for valuables. The exterior paint is Emerald Green.

Powering the limited series is a modified version of the standard 6.2 V8. The specifics are unknown, but the company claims the SUV will max out at 110 mph (177 km/h) instead of the standard 90 mph (145 km/h).

Further highlights include a stainless-steel exhaust system, carbon-fiber engine housing, Recaro sports seats, and plenty of chrome on the instrument panel, pedals, door handles, and gear stick.

Having seen what LB-Silhouette WORKS GT did with the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Lamborghini Huracán, we were naturally very excited to see the next big project of the Japanese tuner. And here it is: the resplendent Nissan 35GT-RR!

As you can guess, the kit targets the Nissan GT-R, which makes it especially attractive. Both the Huracán and the Italia cost several times as much as a moderately used 2009 GT-R.

Why count money, though? There is good reason. In its most basic form, the full 35GT-RR Ver.1 body kit comes manufactured from hard plastic and costs a whopping €31,000 before all shipping, installation and paining costs. A fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) version will set you back €50,000, and the Carbon kit will hit the bank account for €63,000. Yes, what we have here is a styling package that easily costs more than the car it is supposed to be used on.

That notwithstanding, LB-Silhouette WORKS GT once again manages to amaze with its sense of artistic direction and style. Everything from the giant rear wing to the smallest carbon trim, and from the front apron with its gaping air intakes to the rear end with the massive, ultra-low diffuser, looks breathtakingly good. So yes, we daresay it could be worth its asking price.

Also in stock for the Nissan GT-R are aftermarket brakes, exhausts, air suspension, and all kinds of fancy wheels. Take your pick and make sure you know where to escape to from debt collectors!

As you probably know, Rolls-Royce offers many customization opportunities for its clients. Among other things, you can order your luxury vehicle in your own, custom-designed finish. Some time ago, we reported about a collector who brought together 12 colorful Rolls-Royces; today, let us look at another unique specimen.

The ride is called the Rolls-Royce Red Phantom and will debut in Miami, USA later today. The owner will later sell it and redirect the entire profit to organizations fighting AIDS.

The body of the car wears as many as five layers of paint, each single one carefully polished by hand for more than five hours. The uppermost layer has crystal dust mixed in for that extra bit of shine.

Inside, the veneers follow the example set by the exterior (six layers of clear lacquer), and the white-and-red trim uses as many as nine different kinds of leather. The RR’s signature Starry Sky ceiling is likewise red.

Car tuning takes weird shapes sometimes. Russian tuner Garage54 has recently published a YouTube video showing its latest project: a Mitsubishi Eclipse covered with 65,000 tiny mirrors.

Car company Automama purchased the cherry red convertible in August this year and handed it over to Garage54 for customization. 14 people have spent three months manually cutting glass into pieces and gluing them onto the car body. The result looks brilliant – quite literally so, if nothing else.

Aside from this, the MamaDisco Project boasts JDM-style wheels, nine-color LED backlighting of the bottom, and a fog machine in the cabin (oops).

The tuners’ YuoTube pages detail the entire making-of process in Russian. The world’s shiniest Mitsubishi Eclipse has already had an opportunity to ride along the snowy streets of Novosibirsk and will be officially revealed in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar on December 7, 2019.

Porsche has been treating its customers to an unprecedented richness of choices lately – aside from the usual sports cars, the manufacturer’s current lineup includes a practical liftback, two SUVs and even an estate/wagon, although the German luxury automaker insists on calling it a Shooting Brake. A real Shooting Brake would be too fiddly to design and produce due to the rear-engine layout of the latest Porsches. Luckily for us, tuners can do that instead – in fact, one is doing it right now.

Netherlands-based company Van Thull Development is currently working on reshaping the first generation of the Porsche Boxster into a Shooting Brake. The photos look highly promising and there is much to be said about the tuner’s sense of style and attention to detail, even though the work is still far from complete.

One major plus point for us is that Van Thull diches the original (=dull) Boxster lighting in favor of 911-like headlights and brake lights. The soft top is gone, and a hard roof takes its place.

The rear window seems borrowed from a different car (probably Volvo), while the side windows are once again the 911 fare. Maybe the company will replace these parts will custom-ordered aftermarket ones as the project advances to its completion; then again, maybe not.
