The tuners over at Novitec have been carrying out all kinds of Ferrari-based projects lately, but it is only now that they turned their attention to the part-electric 296 GTB.

From the onset, the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 was able to gain 50 metric horsepower after a relatively simple tune-up, raising the combined output from the stock 830 PS (819 hp / 619 kW) to 880 PS (868 hp / 647 kW). Modifications were apparently limited to an all-new exhaust system including catalysts and improved turbo intakes. As usual, the customers will get the choice between stainless steel and Inconel for the exhaust, the latter coming with optional pure gold plating for optimum heat dissipation.

In addition to that, the car was outfitted with 21-inch Vossen NF10 wheels at the front and 22-inch ones at the back. The suspension lost 35 mm (1.4 inches) of height, and a 40-mm (1.6-inch) lift was installed at the front axle to help drive over speed bumps and ease getting in and out of the car.

A body kit is still in development, as are many other options and accessories. Novitec claims that the end result will be faster than the formidable SF90, though, so we are excited.

German tuning company Techart has opened a new department called Flyweight to build cars for track day enthusiasts. To promote it, it has announced a series of street-legal track weapons called the GTstreet R Flyweight.

Only 19 units will be made based on the most recent Porsche 911 Turbo S. The project improves upon the tuner’s own GTstreet R design from two years ago while keeping it suitable for road driving.

The new version boasts a splitter, side fins with canards, vented front fenders and a two-piece rear wing adjustable in three positions. Formula VI Race Flyweight forged rims are installed in 20 inches front and 21 inches rear, lowering the unsprung weight by 4.8 kilos (around 10 pounds). The tires used are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R. The suspension benefits from Öhlins shocks and a new track-day setting called Techart Flyweight.

The interior has no rear bench and only offers a pair of Recaro Podium CF seats with 3D-printed headrests and six-point safety harnesses. The mandatory Head and Neck Support (HANS) is also installed.

Like the GTstreet R before it, the build uses a 3.8-liter flat-six engine boosted from its original 650 PS (641 hp / 478 kW) to 800 PS (789 hp / 588 kW). The torque goes up from 800 to 950 Nm (from 590 to 701 lb-ft).

The engine upgrade kit is known as the Powerkit TA092/T2.1. It incorporates turbos, filters, new ECU firmware for the engine and the transmission, and a custom exhaust system helping shave off another 2.8 kilos (6.1 pounds) of weight.

On the whole, the GTstreet R Flyweight is around 60 kilos (132 pounds) lighter than the previous build, letting it accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.5 seconds and max out somewhere north of 350 km/h (217 mph).

The pricing details haven’t been announced yet, but the pre-orders are already running.

Seven months ago, Mansory dialed a Ferrari SF90 Coupe up to eleven with its extreme styling antics (watch the video for details), and now, it has followed up with a somewhat comparable makeover of the Spider version.

The project is called Tempesta Celeste (“heavenly storm”) and is as controversial as they get. The original design barely shines through all the added bits – there is literally not a single body panel in sight that hasn’t been amended, expanded, pimped out or otherwise redesigned in some way. The whole looks aggressive to the point of violence, particularly because the body is finished in a tame pale blue and the kit flaunts a forged carbon look. The contrast between the two is kind of sporty, but good luck recognizing an SF90 somewhere down there.

The twin-turbo V8 situate between the axles has been boosted to match the appearance. It now pushes out 980 PS (967 hp / 721 kW) and 980 Nm (723 lb-ft) of torque. With three electric motors assisting it, the combined output makes 1,100 PS (1,085 hp / 809 kW). The hypercar darts from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds and continues accelerating until 355 km/h (220 mph) – that’s one fast way to lose your hairdo or, if not careful, your head.

Only three such Spiders will be made by Mansory, each given a “1 of 1” badge. The tuner argues that the scope of customization performed on each example justifies it.

As you would expect, the Internet is divided on this one. Some praise the genius of Mansory while others come up with hurtful epithets like “Ferrari jogging sneaker” or “cheap Honda on steroids”. What’s your take?

The Novitec rendition of the mid-engined Huracan Tecnica supercar doesn’t stray from the original formula, but it does add a further dose of style and sportiness.

To squeeze all they could from the aerodynamic properties, the team came up with a particularly low-drag front spoiler, as well as a custom hood cover. The latter barely has any relief on it, but the tuner claims it still makes the car easier to handle and more stable at higher accelerations.

New side skirts can be found at the sides, complete with air ducts redirecting the flow toward the brake pads, and the rear end has a diffuser and a rear wing. As usual, Vossen Wheels provided the custom wheel set sized 20” front and 21” rear. Customers can choose from more than a hundred of available finish combos.

The suspension was made 35 mm (1.4”) lower than stock by default. Those who feel it is not enough may opt for a KW kit of coilovers that support ride height adjustment along with as many as 14 stiffness settings.

Those who would like an interior overhaul involving high-grade leather and Alcantara may submit an individual request. The 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 under the hood stays stock, though. At most, you can opt for a richer-sounding and more efficient exhaust system made either of stainless steel or Inconel alloy. The latter can be given additional gold plating for superfast heat dissipation.

The portfolio of DMC lists many successful Lamborghini Huracan tuning projects, but the team calls this particular EVO3 its greatest work so far, and we can see why.

Starting with the most interesting part, the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 behind the seats received a tune-up from its original 640 PS (631 hp / 471 kW) to 700 PS (690 hp / 515 kW). This necessitated installing a titanium exhaust system and tweaking he ECU, among other things.

On the outside, you can easily tell the tuned ride from any other by its engine lid with a couple of large air scoops in the back. No Lamborghini we are aware of has a deck lid like this. There is also a front ‘hood’ cover made out of carbon fiber and styled after the Huracan STO. A giant rear wing rounds things off with regards to the exterior and looks like that of the GT3 EVO2, but slightly shorter for FIA compliance reasons.

There is no public price for the tuning, so you will have to contact DMC directly if interested.

The tuner team over at Novitec has taken the wraps off its latest creation, a bespoke McLaren Elva roadster with an improved engine, new wheels and lowered suspension.

In its factory guise, the Elva is by no means underpowered with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 sending 815 PS (804 hp / 600 kW) to the wheels along with 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. However, with a meticulous calibration of the injection, ignition and induction systems the output rises to 920 PS (907 hp / 677 kW) and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque. Note that the measurements were made with optional upgrades installed, such as gold plating for improved heat exchange and a high-end exhaust system.

Bolstered like this, the Elva sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.7 seconds. It reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in another 4 seconds or so and can eventually reach 330 km/h (205 mph), which translates into ‘goodbye, styled hair’ in roadster speak. A windshield is listed under factory options for the Elva, but we cannot imagine it helping much at those accelerations.

Further goodies from Novitec for the model include staggered forged wheels (20” front, 21” rear) and a 20mm (0.8”) drop in suspension height.

The topless McLaren Elva debuted in the fall of 2019 initially limited to 399 units. McLaren has revised the production target twice since then, ultimately settling on just 149 units – the buyers apparently wanted a more exclusive vehicle for their $1,690,000 USD.

We recently learned that Singer Vehicle Design has a three-year-long waiting queue for its restomods – unsurprising, considering how desired and iconic they are. But if you don’t feel like waiting, consider this Singer Carrera 2 being traded on BaT right now with the bidding at $911,911 and three days left on the clock.

The car rolled off the assembly line in 1990 and received a thorough overhaul in 2020, ending up with a largely new body. Both the aero kit and some bodywork was produced anew from carbon fiber, including wheel arches, bumpers, the roof, the hood and the trunk lid. A glossy fresh paint job was applied on top of all that, and Fuchs-style wheels slotted into the arches instead of OEM rims.

Most of the time must have gone into the interior makeover – a gorgeous combination of vintage light brown leather with interwoven leather straps and suede inserts. Carbon-fiber seats were installed alongside a stainless-steel roll cage for safety.

Powering the ride is a bespoke flat-six non-turbo by Ed Pink Racing with 4.0 liters of displacement, 395 PS (390 hp / 291 kW) and 427 Nm (315 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal. A six-speed Getrag M/T sends the momentum to the rear axle as it should.

The restomod owner has put around 3,540 km (2,200 miles) on it since the restoration.

The portfolio of Hennessey Performance already contains the extremely capable Velociraptor 600 truck that you can easily take off-road, even for racing purposes. However, for the most demanding clients out there, the company now has a Sherco Edition of the pickup going, which comes with a pair of tuned motorcycles.

In case you forgot, the Velociraptor 600 commands 558 PS (550 hp / 410 kW), which in combination with intercooler, air intake, exhaust and other upgrades makes it nearly unstoppable on rough terrain. The new special edition adds a mount for a 19-liter (5-gallon) gas can, Brembo brakes all around and a rack for a couple of Sherco enduro bikes. You can go with the 300 SE model (2-stroke), the 300 SEF (four-stroke), or just order one of each for variety.

The bikes have also been tuned to improve heat dissipation, raise the compression ratio and better screen the rear rotor and the drivetrain from damage.

Everything combined starts at U.S. $205,000 before options.

A year and a half ago, German tuner Mansory revealed that it was receiving requests from customers to produce a two-door modification of the Lamborghini Urus. It now turns out the company has been working on the project all along – and here is the result.

Dubbed the Venatus Coupe Evo C, the lively SUV lacks rear doors and has its b-pillar moved 200 mm (7.9 in) towards the rear end. The latter enabled stretching the front door by the same amount for convenience.

The rear arches were boldly flared and equipped with large air intakes, and ornamental trim pieces were applied to the c-pillars. Like the standard Venatus model that debuted a while ago, the Coupe Evo C has a front splitter, a rear diffuser and a large rear wing made from carbon fiber.

The whole cabin space looks is dominated by a vivid teal trim only mildly reined in by the white stitching and rare black accents. That said, nothing prevents you from ordering your own interior design. Oh, and you have to fold down the front seats in order to access the ones in the back.

From the technical point of view, it is a normal Venatus Evo S spec – if you consider 900 PS (888 hp / 662 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque normal, that is. The standard sprint time is 2.9 seconds, and the top speed is 323 km/h (200 mph).

Only eight such cross-coupes will be made in total, Mansory says.

Liberty Walk, an aftermarket company famous for its over-the-top JDM tuning projects, has come up with a pair of body kits for the technically identical Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR 86. You can buy the whole set for U.S. $12,980 or order individual parts.

The base shipment includes a front bumper with an impressively large splitter, side sill extensions and a pronounced rear diffuser. Everything is made from reinforced plastic and costs $4,400.

Throw in another $7,810, and you will be getting a fixed rear wing and fender flares. For $9,130, these are obtainable in carbon-fiber form. And if you would like the full set, do not forget to grab a ventilated hood as well.

The rear wing alone comes in at $2,530 or $3,850 depending on the material, while the hood cover costs $1,650 or $2,530.

Liberty Walk will be showcasing a fully tuned car (not sure which one, though) at the impending Tokyo Auto Salon. It will also be bringing along another crazy project – a remodeled Ferrari F40 supercar. With the production of the F40 discontinued three decades ago, the hype-loving company is bound to attract plenty of praise from some visitors and sharp criticism from others.
