Apart from the unmistakable ?Three Pointed Star? badge, there?s not a whole lot about the Mercedes Sprinter that screams luxury. Best described as a carrier van, the Sprinter is the probably one of the last models in the company?s long and impressive fleet of cars to be considered as an exotic and luxurious car.

Well, it turns out, even the boxy Sprinter can have a luxury upgrade of its own, one that Mercedes-Benz Manhattan is exclusively offering. From a common utility van to a private jet interior on the ground, the custom Sprinter Grand Edition doesn?t lack in either class or luxury.[...]

 

 

Okay, just reading the name of this car should make everyone wonder just how much it is going to cost, and don’t worry, we’ll get to that. First let’s introduce the car. The Abarth 500C is typically no more than about $25,000 and features lots of little goodies, like that four cylinder inline engine that delivers a weak 140hp. Now add a tuning package from Fenice-Milano that consists of a little bling bling, and now this expensive ride starts to sparkle[...]

 

 

Project Kahn knows a thing or two about tuning up LandRover models, but what started off a major LandRover project has spread like wildfire to include makes such as Porsche, Mercedes, Bentley, and now Audi. This time, the British tuner turned their attention to the brand new 2011 Audi Q7. The model already received an impressive facelift from the factory, but the package offered by Afzal Kahn, emphasizes the already clean and beautiful look of the SUV.

While there were no modifications made to the engine, the widebody aerodynamic styling package includes modifications such as wide wheel arches, front wings with vents, front spats, rear bumper, exhaust trims, and a rear roof wing[...]

 

 

D2Forged Wheels is an American wheel tuning shop that?s considered as one of the best in the industry. Recently, the boys at D2Forged presented their latest creation for the Porsche 997 Turbo, aptly called ?The White Darkness?.

These guys are no strangers to outfitting cars with the best rims in the game, as evidenced by their previous work on an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. So it only seems right that their latest piece of work would come in the name of Porsche ? a 997 Turbo, to be exact.

An incredibly wealthy Chinese businessman has commissioned Italian tuning firm Fenice Milano to build a one-of-a-kind Fiat 500 Convertible Abarth inspired by the 'La Dolce Vita' concept study we first showed you back in October 2010. The bespoke 500 C Abarth is named "La Dolce Vita Gold and Diamonds 200hp" and according to Fenice Milano, the car[...]

Drifting usually involves insanely powerful tuner cars, lots of smoke and some highly skilled drivers. But it turns out that you don?t even have to have a driver?s license to drift like a true professional. Don't believe us? Then just take a look at the radio controlled car in the video after the break, which was provided by Carscoop?s very own[...]

 

 

Rolling into the 2011 Toyko Motor Show is an Infiniti luxury sedan that will surely create quite a stir. This is no ordinary Infiniti M. This vehicle has been done over by Japanese tuner, Impul, to create the new Impul 651S, a vehicle that boasts of an impressive aerodynamic package and some engine updates for the 37 and M25 versions.

Some of the changes are not overly obvious, but the result transforms this vehicle from an ordinary people pusher to a mean and low transporter. After all, that is usually the goal for these types of vehicles; transforming the ordinary to the aggressive and stylish.

The exterior package includes a new front bumper, front grille, side skirts, rear bumper, rear wing, and sports ducts to get that low, rough look. The car now sits on AURA SX-20 wheels and a new set of coil over springs. Bringing the gruff sound out of the engine is the new stainless steel exhaust system.[...]

 

 

The 2011 Tokyo Motor Show gathers all kinds of tuned-up vehicles, be they sports cars, hybrids, or the more regular models. In this display of tuner heaven, companies can lay it all out on the table, and Modellista’s Lexus CT 200h F Sport is the perfect example of that. The Japanese tuner is now offering a pretty impressive tuning kit for the sports hybrid that includes some nice exterior updates.

Okay, so maybe the exterior updates are the only things Modellista added to the CT 200h, but they still transform the vehicle quite nicely. All the car needed was a front bumper add-on element, a set of side skirts, a modified rear apron and a new exhaust layout to get it looking like a brand new machine. A new set of 18" wheels, LED fog lights, and some chrome elements top off the package and complete the look.[...]

If you're in the Hennessey family, your idea of a grocery getter is a Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. Baseline on the Dyno was 479 RWHP (16% loss), 462 lb-ft of rear-wheel torque. Wait. Baseline? We know where this is going.[...]

Almost every show has them and the Tokyo Auto Salon is no exception. We're talking of course about the booth professionals. We'll be bringing you more spicy pictures from the floors of the Tokyo tuning show later on, but for now, here's a taste of some the lovely ladies that smiled at Phil our camera. ...
