Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by MEC Design
There have been plenty of aftermarket companies that have released program options for the Mercedes SLS AMG. And with the car’s popularity continuing to soar, you can expect that more and more companies are ready to take a stab at the German supercar. Some of them even have already done so more than once.
MEC Design is no stranger to working on the SLS AMG, so much so in fact that their first design for the car was introduced 18 months ago. Fast forward to this week and the aftermarket company has prepared a new program for the SLS 63 AMG, one that includes an aerodynamic package for a customer from Florida.
MEC Design’s exterior package for the SLS 63 AMG includes a two-piece front spoiler, a spoiler lip finished in carbon, optional LED headlights, new side sills with four optional LED lights per side, a rear trunk-lid lip, a two-piece rear roof spoiler, a roof air scoop, a custom built, stainless steel sport exhaust system, three different diffuser options (Extreme, Formula, or GT3), and a set of mecxtreme3 allow wheels that are available in either 20" or 21".
Inside the car, MEC Design gave the SLS AMG a sports steering wheel dressed in carbon and Alcantara with leather/Alcantara and carbon/leather combinations coming as added options for customers. Speaking of carbon fiber, there’s plenty of the high-end material placed inside to make it look like its swimming in the posh item. Carbon inserts have been applied on the middle console, door guards, entry guard, the seat casings, and just behind the rear seats.
$270K Porsche Design watch
Lets do some math: what can you do with $270,000? Buy a Porsche 911 GT2 RS with $245,000, put some gas and make an impressive trip in a place where you wanted to go for a very long time. Or, you can buy a watch. Yes, you read that correctly. Porsche Design store in Dubai Mall has put on sale a limited edition Porsche Design Indicator timepiece that cost AED 990,000 or about $270,000 at the current exchange rates. There will be only 50 units built.
The new Porsche watch has been designed by the car maker in cooperation with the Swiss watchmaker Eterna. It includes a mix of 18-carat rose gold, natural rubber and titanium.
The clasps and body are made of rose gold, with a titanium face and rubber straps that look like Porsche tires. The face includes a stop watch and second timer, and a dial turns from green to red when the watch runs low on power. The watch will get its power from the movement of your wrist.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio
The new generation Volkswagen Beetle made its debut this April at the New York Auto Show and a cabrio version it is expected to be unveiled at the end of 2012. However, long before a first image of the car has surface on the internet. You will easily notice a design language similar to the coupe version, while, compared to the previous generation the fabric roof folds into the back into a much discreet way.
Also, like with the coupe version, the convertible will feature a new design line from the front bumper and front air inlet, straight lines of the bonnet edges and new bi-xenon headlights. Under the hood the cabrio will carry the same engines as the coupe: one diesel and two petrol with power ranging from 138 HP to 197 HP. The engine will be mated with either a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed DSG.
2011 Infiniti FX 30dS "AHG Sports"
Seeing an update package for an Infiniti FX models does not happen very often, especially if its based on a diesel version of the SUV. But, the Infiniti Center in Hamburg in colaboration to its tuner AHG Sports have unveiled the FX 30dS "AHG Sports", a model that features a shifted body, a new set of wheels and new suspension springs that will improve the car’s aerodynamics.
The car sits on a new set of wheels from the CC line of Schmidt Revolution from Bad Segeberg in the appropriate size of 11x21 inches with appropriate tires in 295/40R21. The new wheels were combined with a new set of spring suspensions that will lower the car’s ride by 25 milimters.
And to make a car worthy of its "Sports" name, the Hamburg team has increased a performance of the FX 30dS, which makes 280 hp (up from a standard of 238 hp) and to a peak torque of 442 lbs-ft.
2011 PGO Cévennes Ultimate Black
PGO Automobiles is noted for being a French automaker that specializes on small production cars that are designed to accommodate our longing for the cars of the past while also boasting of modern-day performance specs.
Continuing in their trend of old-school meets new age, PGO decided to release a special edition model of one of it’s most popular models, the Cevennes.
Called the Ultimate Black, the neo-retro two-seater sports car offers plenty of endearing traits to itself that makes it a very attractive car for young and old people alike. PGO decided to make the car look as fashionably sport as it can be by offering plenty of options and accessories so that customers can pretty much build the look of their car depending on their tastes and preferences.
PGO was likewise able to do this by still keeping the Cévennes unique, 50’s look, ensuring all would-be customers that even as a special edition, the Cévennes Ultimate Black retains the same alluring qualities about it that has made it one of PGO’s most popular models.
