MEC Design dishes out a new Aero Kit for Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
Saturday, March 21st, 2009 |
MEC Design has brought out its latest aero kit for the Mercedes Benz CLS Class. The entire gear comes with an extended front skirt, a chin spoiler with a choice of fog lights or mesh inserts, flared fenders, special MEC designed wheels and a choice between a sports diffuser or a rear bumper at the back. For most parts, the new aerodynamic additions add very little other than extra bulk on the CLR and with beyond a 40-70mm lowered suspension and a few tweaks to the exhaust; this is unlikely to set the pulse racing for the Mercedes fans. Is it just another muscle-up job for an amazing coupe sedan?
With an improved performance, better handling and cooler looks, the new Roush 2010 427R Mustang is designed to steal the show from the moment it sets its wheel out on the road. All apart of the whooping $14,000 package that will give your Mustang more than just a facelift, the new bodykit packs one-piece rear fascia, three-piece custom crafted wing for the trunk, 18-inch cast chrome wheels, new and better suspension and a single core cross-flow radiator. Under the hood, the monster is a 4.6-liter engine Roush Mustang engine with slight improvements. A splendid job …
There’s big news in the F1 world these days. Apparently the current pointing system— introduced in 2002, that gives points to drivers up to the 8th place is no longer viable because it rewards consistent driving over outright winning. And they may have a point if you consider that for the last championship Lewis Hamilton only won 5 races while Felipe Massa proved to rule for six races. With that in mind, F1 bosses decided that for 2009, he who wins the most races … becomes the king. And in case there’s a tie (we can bet our paycheck on it) the old system will decide … Do you think that will change anything?
General Motors is in a mood to celebrate its supremacy in the GTS class of racing and it does by releasing the Corvette GT1 Commemorative Edition— paying a tribute to the famous Z06 and its dominance on the speedy tracks. Available in coupe, convertible, and Z06 models, with the famous yellow or black pattern, these are limited edition goodies that appeal with aesthetics more than sheer improved performance. While few modifications have been made under the hood for a performance boost, the Commemorative Edition seems more like a showpiece aimed for those who are fanatic about the Z06 and Corvettes.
Powered by a 3.8 liter V6 Lambda or the 4.6 liter V8 Tau, the Hyundai Equus made its much awaited debut in the Korean market. And while the Lambda’s 285 hp and the Tau’s 360 hp does not boast of hair-rising speed, it makes up for the lack of oomph with its little techie-nuggets. Slated for release in China and Middle East later this year, the electric parking brake, the lane-departure warning system, smart cruise control and a 3.5-inch display screen give you complete value for money with a price tag ranging from €33,514 to €55,857. With the cutting edge 5-link suspension coupled with the Amplitude Selective Dampers, the Equus seems to be a wonderful buy for those looking for a luxurious everyday ride. Don’t you think?
Tuner kits are the hot favorites for those who love to give their car a unique and custom look or even rev its performance up by a couple of notches. Inden-Design is known for their fabulous Mercedes Benz aimed tuner kits and they once again hit jackpot with their latest offering for the MY2005 SL 65 AMG. Dubbed as the ‘White Angel’ the redesigned SL 65 AMG is upholstered with a carbon fiber rear diffuser, 3-part aluminum rims, flashy new headlights, bonnet and sport exhaust. With lower suspension for a more exciting ride, leather fittings and revving up of the engine to 680hp, its all about living it up in revamped style.
It’s hard to say which is the world’s first green supercar, but if we’re taking for granted what Ronn Motor Company has to say, their Scorpion is definitely racing for the title. However it’s not titles that bring smile on our faces, but specs and looks. And boy, the Scorpion has plenty of these. Introduced last year at SEMA and taken for a spin by our good friends from Autoblog, we’re not trying to convince you to go green … but the car looks stunning and performs just as well.
Honda’s luxury division, Acura, has been working on a new sports crossover that plans to take on BMW’s X6. Based on the MDX model, the 2010 Acura CUV is a four door coupe with a very daring design with bulging front and rear well-wheels and a shield grille that follows the company’s new theme. With power being sent to the wheels from a 3.7-liter V6 engine that outputs 300 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, there aren’t many details except for the fact that it features the much praised SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system. Amazing, just doesn’t make justice. Isn’t it?
There’s good stuff on carblog when it comes to Golf VI. Some think it’s ugly, some think it’s an amazing desing, but none have seen the new VW Golf GTI W12-650 Concept with a body kit from Exclusive Tuning Worldwide. it’s a new body kit that will cost you a whopping $16,000, but the result is nothing short of cool. Featuring a new front bumper with a large air intake, massive side skirts, a new rear bumper, a revised hatch, and a working quad exhaust system, we’re definitely sold on its looks. And we didn’t even count those stylish 18-inch GTI wheels
Zunaid Moti is a local businessman and the owner of Future Exotics Lifestyle Emporium - a custom built lifestyle venue for world’s finest in exotic vehicles, marine and aviation. If last year he’s been spotted in a Koenigsegg CCXR, a few days ago he got himself one of those fancy Pagani Zonda F Roadster Cinque Replica. And Pedro van Gaalen got some time with it. Apparently it’s the 18th Zonda F of only 25 in the world and the only one in the limited edition Cinque Zonda R colour scheme - due later this year. So if you just wanted to hate someone today,
