The Mercedes SLS AMG coupe and roadster came out in a limited series 10 years ago, but they are still sought after and never fail to impress with their impeccable design. And while the roadster had its own perks, it was the two-door coupe variant with its gull-wing doors that instantly became the crowd favorite. Perhaps that is why it warranted the attention of the British luxury car tuner Creative Bespoke.

With its new FAB Design all-carbon body kit on, the German vehicle takes on a completely new and exciting appearance. Included are a front apron complete with the integrated spoiler and enormous air intakes, larger side skirts and fenders, wider side panels, and a bulky rear apron that lends the rear part some visual weight and prominence. There are air scoops on the hood cover and the roof, and the entire body comes wrapped in a White Satin film wrap made by 3M.

Unpainted carbon components, the black radiator grille, and a set of 20-inch FAB Evolution three-piece carbon rims create the necessary contrast against the white body, while air suspension ensures that the wheels fit perfectly within their respective arches.

Creative Bespoke did not mess with the engine, but it did swap the factory muffler out for an FI Exhaust valve-based performance exhaust system.

The interior of this custom Mercedes SLS AMG still sports the same red-and-black gamma as the production car, but do not be misled into thinking it is stock. The company went through the pain of replacing the entire cabin upholstery with its own design, adding some fine details such as the handmade floor mats or the Rolls-Royce inspired “stary sky” ceiling.

Let us talk money now. A new Mercedes SLS AMG coupe would set you back around U.S. $200,000. A full FAB Design body kit would be over $95,000. Finally yet importantly, commissioning a custom job like this with Creative Bespoke would be around $40,000. This should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect if you want a car like the one on the photos.

Glassparency attended the latest SEMA show with a classy and unusual take on the Dodge Challenger SRT. The dragster sported a custom aerodynamic kit, Vossen forged wheels and an exclusive film wrap called Tangerine Dream.

In case you’ve been wondering, the wrap is officially called “Oracal® 970RA Rapid Air Premium Wrapping Folie” and is available on the website of its manufacturer, Orafol. Aside from the car body, the film also covers most of the aero parts, including the new hood cover with a prominent motor dome in the middle, the fender flares, the bulky diffuser and the ducktail spoiler on the trunk lid.

Choosing the wheels to go with the wrap, Glassparency settled on Vossen ERA-3 3-Piece Forged rims measuring 20 inches in diameter. The tuner revealed nothing about the suspension, but it doesn’t take a genius to realize that it’s air-based. Seriously, the poor Challenger is almost scratching the asphalt with its bottom!

Naturally, the tangerine theme spills over into the cabin of the Dodge Challenger SRT. The same juicy tint adorns Braum bucket seats, five-point safety harnesses and door cards.

Russian car tuner Renegade Design has revealed a rather extreme Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT that we would like to show you. The SUV gained a new body kit and a power boost to 1,000+ “horses”.

More specifically, the car received the complete Tyrannos styling package, which includes a new front apron with larger air intakes, black headlights, additional DRLs, a front spoiler, a power dome hood likely inspired by the Dodge Demon, fender extensions, side skirts and a rather bold-looking rear diffuser. Combined with a quad-pipe exhaust, a trunk lip and a roof spoiler, they lend the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT a downright brutal appearance.

The car now rides on 22-inch ultralight forged rims (Ferrada Wheels DC-FR4), which look just right thanks to moderately lowered suspension.

The hood cover of the off-roader opens to reveal a completely overhauled stock engine fitted with a huge Whipple supercharger for up to 1,013 hp (746 kW) output. The engine modification was handled by British tuner EMP Performance and not Renegade Design, though.

The cabin of the vehicle sports opulent black leather upholstery interspersed with red accents and carbon elements.

M&D Exclusive Cardesign released this custom BMW 6 Series Coupe 650i (F13) a while ago. The car gained a Prior Design PD6XX Widebody kit alongside new wheels and an original paintjob. But first things first.

The styling package includes a broader front apron complete with a spoiler and side winglets, a hood with a motor dome add-on, fender flares, side skirts rounded at the ends, and a completely new rear with a diffusor, prominent air vents, and a trunk-mounted spoiler lip.

The tuner has painted the car with three layers of exclusive Sunflower Yellow paint and laminated the result with an invisible film that should protect it from dents and scratches.

The vehicle traded its factory wheels for two-piece, 21-inch Z-Performance ZP.FORGED4 rims clad in Continental Sport Contact 6 tires. 

To lend its BMW 6 Series Coupe 650i (F13) a sportier appearance and character, M&D Exclusive Cardesign lowered it a bit using H&R springs and boosted the engine from 408 hp (304 kW) to 500 hp (373 kW).

The car is currently on sale at mobile.de, but its owner apparently does not feel like making its price public.

Of all Mansory works exhibited at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, this custom Bentley Continental GT will surely be remembered as one of the coolest. The tuner did not give us any technical specs, but do those even matter anymore when you get as much eye candy as this? Perhaps; perhaps not.

The body of the grand tourer is high-gloss white with lacquered carbon accents throughout. Carbon parts include the front spoiler, the side air intakes, the rear spoiler, the hood cover, the side skirts, the mirror caps, the rear diffuser and the rear wing.

The car rides on huge 22-inch alloy wheels concealing light-blue brake calipers behind the spokes.

The interior space is dominated by turquoise genuine leather upholstery and sports numerous carbon bits in various places. We think there is also a new sports steering wheel along with Mansory-branded floor mats and similar minor additions, but the inside portion of the car remains hidden from view by those blacked-out windows. Too bad…

Back in 2011, Kourosh Mansory, owner of the namesake car customization shop, and couturier Philipp Plein have joined efforts to bring out an ultra-deluxe version of the Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG. The vehicle entered the market sporting a formidable aero kit alongside a lush leather-draped interior. Today, the two companies have revealed another joint project like this, based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63 (W464) this time around.

The limited car series goes by the name “Star Trooper 20th Anniversary Edition” and – just as it name implies – celebrates 20 years of the Philipp Plein brand. The companies plan to produce only 20 vehicles priced starting from €550,000.

The anniversary G-Wagen sports an exceptionally lightweight and durable body kit made from a rare sort of carbon, cured with a prepreg in a curing oven until no air bubbles remain in its structure. This manufacturing method is generally only used in the aerospace industries due to high reject rate and the consequent high production cost.

Aside from the unique kit, the SUV has a camo paintjob that the tuner has jokingly dubbed “The 50 Shades of Grey”, and a set of 24-inch Mansory M23 forged wheels finished in black with red pinstripes.

The Mercedes G-Class Star Trooper 20th Anniversary Edition houses a four-liter turbocharged V8 engine under its hood. The tuner has managed to boost it from 585 hp (436 kW) to a stellar 850 hp (634 kW), whereupon the torque experienced a similar increase from 850 Newton-meters (627 pound-feet) to 1,000 Nm (738 lbft). The tuned ride happily speeds past 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds and can climb all the way to 250 km/h (155 mph) given the right conditions.

Wrapping up the large-scale customization project is an immaculate interior makeover by Philipp Plein, involving generous amounts of the finest leather and visual carbon.

Alpina has taken the wraps off its updated flagship sedan/saloon model called the 2020 B7 xDrive. The car is based on the BMW 7 Series and sports an elongated wheelbase.

The engine is a slightly tweaked 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 now rated at 600 hp (447 kW). The car sprints 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.5 seconds and tops out at 330 km/h (205 mph), as opposed to 3.6 seconds and 312 km/h (194 mph) of its predecessor.

The tuner claims that the 2020 Alpina B7 xDrive features a more responsive eight-speed automatic transmission, better AWD steering and stronger brakes. It also weighs less owing to a custom exhaust system.

On the outside, the German sports car flaunts a stylish new front bumper with more efficient air intakes, a different rear spoiler and four oval tailpipes. It also comes in a wide range of available paints.

Interior highlights include Nappa leather trim, high-end ergonomic seats with a number of features and adjustments, and decorative ceramic inserts. Alpina also sells such options as a color HUD, a back-up camera, a BMW iDrive 7 system, and some others.

Prices begin at 141,700 USD.

On to other Geneva show news! Mansory, German elite tuner and our constant source of impressive new builds to look upon, has unveiled another one of its creations. The convertible goes by the name “Apertus Edition” and represents an individualized take on the Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC+.

The sports car, which looks strikingly stylish in its factory state, has gained a surprisingly elegant body kit consisting of a new hood with a NACA Duct add-on, fender flares, restyled front apron complete with new air intakes and side canards, a rear spoiler, and a diffusor. All parts have been machined to fit the body perfectly and colored to match.

In turn, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 mill of the S 63 received a substantial boost from its manufacturer-guaranteed 612 hp (456 kW) to 800 hp (596 kW). The tuner had to clamp the torque at 1,000 Newton-meters (738 pound-feet) to prevent the drivetrain from eventual destruction. The convertible sports car now has no trouble making 100 km/h (62 mph) in three and a half seconds and ultimately climbing as high as 300 km/h (186 mph). Of course, you will need to install a set of custom 22-inch alloys wrapped in racing-grade tires to deliver all that power to the ground.

The interior of the Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC+ Apertus Edition sports an expensive hand-stitched leather trim alongside a new steering wheel, aluminum pedal pads, Mansory-branded floor mats and door sill lighting.

Let us dedicate some more time to custom cars built by German tuner Mansory today. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan you can see here is still a work in progress, but most of its specs and features are already available.

The car is being created in cooperation with luxury-oriented shop Billionaire. The two companies plan to complete 13 Rolls-Royce Cullinan x BILLIONAIRE Limited Edition vehicles priced starting from €785,000 (German taxes included).

As you can see on the photos and the video, the tuner has actually succeeded in improving the appearance of the opulent SUV. The front, the rear and the sides have all been reimagined using the finest carbon parts. Factory wheels made room for a set of Mansory M23 forged rims measuring 24 inches in diameter.

The bulky luxury-laden car has also received a minor power upgrade from its stock 571 hp (426 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lbft) of torque to 610 hp (455 kW) and 950 Nm (701 lbft). As a result, it now only needs five seconds to hit 100 km/h (60 mph) and tops out at an impressive 280 km/h (174 mph).

The interior trim uses genuine crocodile leather reportedly sourced from farm-bred crocodiles, and never fails to impress with its abundance of high-gloss polished and lacquered surfaces. Oh, and the ceiling is still Rolls-Royce’s trademark Starry Sky.

A while ago, Berlin-based tuner Moshammer launched a new wide body kit for the Mercedes E-Coupe C207 (W212). Today, Kastyle released a series of photos showing the sporty coupe wearing this very kit, so we may finally throw a closer glance at it.

The C207 gained a new front apron with large AMG-style air intakes, neat fender flares that seamlessly integrate with the rest of the car, and a distinctly wider rear fascia complete with an aggressive-looking diffuser and chrome-coated tailpipes. In its new body kit, the E-Class coupe actually looks more like the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series (W204) than anything else – save for the missing rear wing, that is.

Aside from the styling kit, the car received a Gyeon protective ceramic coating, Artform AF-303 alloy wheels finished glossy black, and a 25 mm (1”) reduction in ride height owing to H&R lowering springs.

How do you like the result?
