US customizers Superior Auto Design have formed over a set of photos taking us behind the scenes of their custom Mercedes Benz S550 they’ve dubbed the CEO Edition. As you’d expect from such a strange sounding name, the owner is young and packing money. He wanted his silver factory paintjob on the 2007 S-Class to be replaced for a black finish. His wish came in the form of a full body respray,... [...]

If you have ever wondered what happens to those tuned cars with the ridiculous negative cambers and lowered ride height when they hit the road at highway speeds, the following video of a slammed Acura TSX sedan should prove enlightening, to say the least. [...]

Germany's O.CT-Tuning tells us that the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS with its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that produces 426-horsepower and 420 lb-ft (569Nm) of peak torque is not fast enough and that owners should take a look at its new performance package called the "Yellow Steam Hammer".[...]

After they were done building their custom road rocket, Edo Competition took this insane C63 AMG Touring to the track, where we can see how awesome this monster wagon racer can be once fitted with massive wheels and sticky racing tires. The most practical 600 horsepower car we’ve seen in a long time is powered by a monster version of the naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that has been bestowed with a sports air filters, a high pe...

Few people know that Wald International, the makers of those insane Black Bison widebody kits for the coolest of Mercedes’ models are actually from Japan. And today we learn a bit of extra information about the company, as a body kit from the Indonesian division called Inspire Tuning has been released. This targets the Mercedes Benz CLS, not the new one, but the old W219 four-door coupe that started the craze back when it was la... [...]

The Volkswagen Golf GTI Black Dynamic is a very special vehicle, not because it’s got serious horsepower under its hood. It’s a special ride because it’s the result of a months-long project by nine Volkswagen apprentices - four young women and five young men - aged 18 to 24.

According to Volkswagen, the ’Apprentice Golf GTI 2012’ was started to give young and up-and-coming designers to put their skills to the test in a real automotive project.

The result is the Golf GTI Black Dynamic, which is making its world debut at the Worthersee GTI meet in Austria.

As part of the revamps given to the vehicle, the apprentices fitted a number of key styling upgrades, including a Deep Black Metallic exterior finish combined with flat anthracite film trim, a matte gray hood with honeycomb decals, LED headlamps, and a new set of black rims.[...]

German Special Customs is a tuner that usually likes to gift premium vehicles with over the top body kits, but in the case of the Porsche Panamera Turbo, the aftermarket developer made an exception, by introducing a lip pack for the car. Thus, the four-door coupe was gifted with front and rear lips made from carbon fiber, a set of side skirts that use a complex design, as well as with a rear spoiler, which is also pretty discrete and made...

German Special Customs is an aftermarket developer that likes to offer pretty extreme visual makeovers for premium vehicles and their kit for the new Mercedes ML, which uses the Typhoon (we thought this name belonged to G Power) is no exception to this. The SUV has b... [...]

Now that the 991 generation of the Porsche 911 has really made its way to the street, 997 owners can still look fresh if they drive some of the special version that haven’t been released for the new generation, such as the Turbo or the GT3. But what if you drive a pre-facelift 997? What can you do to make it look young? German tuning company Cars & Art comes with an answer for this question, with this being visible in t... [...]

When it comes to building wide-body tuning kits, you won’t find a tuner that does a better job than Prior Design. Heck, it was only a few months ago when they released a wide-body kit for the Mercedes CL-Class luxury coupe. Apparently, it didn’t take them too long to build off of that with what they call "version 2" of the Black Edition program.

Similar to what we saw previously, Prior Design really went balls-to-the-wall on the Black Edition V2, dressing up the CL-Class with a package that’s far sportier and more aggressive than its predecessor.

For this program, Prior Design fitted the Mercedes with a slew of new bodykit components, all of which are made from Dura-Flex Fiber Reinforced Plastic. The kit includes a new front bumper, a front lip spoiler, larger side skirts, a rear bumper and diffuser, a new front hood, and mesh grilles.[...]
