Will an SUV-inspired design transform the Estoque Into a Success?
Lamborghini started to explore the idea of entering new segments of the car market back in 2008 when it unveiled the Estoque concept car. It was not only the first front-engine vehicle to be introduced by Lamborghini since the LM002, but it was also a four-door coupe.
Customers weren’t really into the idea of Lamborghini making a sedan, and because of the initial negative feedback, the Estoque never made it to production. Lamborghini did however enter new segments of the market with the launch of the Urus which turned out to be a huge success, so would things be different this time around?
How Much Power Does The Bugatti Chiron Really Make?
With 1,479 horsepower under the hood, the Bugatti Chiron is far from being the most powerful supercar in the world. In fact, when compared to supercars like Lotus Evija (1,972 horsepower), Rimac Nevera (1,914 horsepower) or even the Hennessey Venom F5 (1,817 horsepower) you could say that the Chiron lost the battle. Still, it is on the top list of the most powerful, fastest supercars in the world. But, does it really deliver the amount of power claimed by Bugatti?
2021 Ferrari Roma Fuego By DMC
When Ferrari launched the Roma back in 2019 we were impressed by its looks. The small front-engined, 2+2 grand tourer based on the Portofino looked like no other Ferrari in the lineup and was ready to take on the competition.

Would You Pay $875K For A Used Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster?
When initially launched on the market back in 2019, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster came with a starting price of $517,770! Quite an increase when compared to the Avantador S Roadster priced at $460,000. But it was all for the right reasons: more power, most aggressive look, improved performance figures.
But, Fusion Motor is trying to sell an SVJ Roadster with 2,300 miles on the odometer for $874,950. That’s a little over $350,000 more than the new car!

Audi RS6 Avant by Mansory and MTM Is Proof That Station Wagons Can Be Mean Too

2022 Toyota TRD Desert Chase Tundra

2021 Lexus IS 500 By Hiraku And Townsend Bell
The new LX 600 F SPORT will probably steal the show at the 2021 SEMA, but it won’t be the only model you will be able to admire at Lexus’ boot. A very cool IS 500 developed by Hiraku Co. and Lexus ambassador, Townsend Bell will try to make people remember the IS still has some potential.
2021 Aston Martin DBX By Mansory
The DBX is the first luxury SUV offered by Aston Martin. But, despite its price - about $180k, the DBX is not really a powerful SUV. It offers indeed an impressive amount of luxury features for the interior, but both the powertrain and the exterior looks could use some improvement. And this is where Mansory comes into the picture!
2021 Ferrari F8 Spider N-Largo by Novitec
Back in September 2021, Novitec announced its first tuning kit for the Ferrari F8 Spider. Now, after more than a month, the famous tuner finally announced the N-Largo package for the Italian roadster.

Just like the kit offered for the coupe version, the F8 Spider N-Largo will be limited to only 15 units.
2021 Manhart MHX3 600
With 503 horsepower under the hood, the BMW X3 M Competition is one of the most powerful compact SUVs out there. Plus that, it is also quite decent looking.
But in true Manhart spirit, there was something about the X3 M Competition that needed to be updated too. The result? MHX3 600! You would think that the 600 stands for the amount of power under the hood, but it is not, as the MHX3 600 in fact delivers a total of 635 horsepower!
Let’s find out how that was even possible!
Mopar will bring seven concept cars at this years SEMA Show, including the very cool looking Challenger Holy Guacamole. The concept is based on the limited-production Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody 50th Anniversary edition, and, according to Dodge it combines the best of two worlds.
Rolls Royce launched the Black Badge for the first time back in 2016 when it launched the Wraith and the Ghost.

2022 BMW M135i xDrive
Maybe it doesn’t have what it needs to stand up against cars like the Volkswagen Golf R or the Mercedes-AMG A35, but the M135i xDrive is surely trying its best to catch up. After only three years on the market, the compact hot hatch received a series of mechanical updates that will make it even more enjoyable during everyday driving and on the track.
2022 Mazda CX-3 Super Edgy
Back in May 2021, Mazda announced that after the 2021 model year, the CX-3 and Mazda 6 will be discontinued. But, while the American market will only enjoy the CX-30 for now, in Japan the CX-3 is still big and is enjoying a lot of success.

2021 Volkswagen Golf R Variant By PS-Sattlerei
In Europe, the Volkswagen Golf is a very popular car: you can spot one at literally every corner! Well, at least the standard version, as when it comes to the GTI or the R versions things are a little bit different. Of course, that’s because there are not as many in production as the standard version.
This doesn’t mean though that the Golf R doesn’t enjoy a lot of attention, especially from tuners! Just recently, ABT Sportsline came with a pretty cool update kit for the Golf R hatch, and today is time to talk about an upgrade for the Golf R Variant.
2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan By Klassen
On the U.S. market, a base Rolls Royce Cullinan is priced at $330,000. Not the cheapest SUV out there, but not very bad considering we are looking at a super-luxurious SUV. Then again, if you think that the prices for the Aston Martin DBX start from $180k and the ones for the Lamborghini Urus from a little over $210k, maybe the Cullinan is a bit expensive!
But, how would you feel about a $1 million Cullinan? Or, to be more precise €833,000 - or about $965,000 at the current exchange rate. A model like this actually does exist and it comes from the German tuner Klasses. Why is it so expensive? Lets find out!
Finally an Aston Martin DB5 You Can Afford!
Back in 2019 a fully restored Aston Martin DB5 that stared in the James Bond movie "Goldfinger" was auctioned for the impressive amount of $6.4 million. With a price like this, no matter how much we like the DB5, you can imagine that not many people out there will get the chance to actually own one.
Now though, you can own a very cool looking DB5. But there is a catch: you can’t drive it! And that’s because it comes from Playmobil! Yeah, we know, now the DB5 you were dreaming about, but it is better than nothing, right?
2021 Manhart GLR 700 Limited 01/10
Everyone knows that AMG stands for performance. If you hear that someone drives an AMG model you automatically think about power and speed. But more power is both possible and more than welcome, so this is where the tuners came in. Manhart for example is offering a new tuning kit for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe. It will be called GLR 700 and will be limited to only ten units, but there’s something very special about those 10 units.
