Design-World has revealed a package for the Ford Mustang GT.
As seen on the photo, the German tuner starts off with a black Mustang GT and adds parts of metallic orange, white and black to create a unique colour combination. Next to the paint job, a new grill and bumpers with skirts are added.
Of course, most important is the increase in power on the 5.0 litre V8 engine from 406 bhp to 429 bhp through use of an air filter, air box and an ECU remap. To complete the kit, the Mustang GT is fitted with 20 inch rims.
Porsche tuner TopCar has released the first images of their tuning package for the 2012 Porsche 911 (991).
The model has a carbon/Kevlar body kit with an aggressive front-end, aerodynamic side skirts and a sporty rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. There’s also LED daytime driving lights and light alloy wheels.
For added performance, the company will partner with 9ff to develop a sport-tuned suspension and a larger displacement engine.
Even though the production model will debut in March 2012, TopCar is already accepting orders.
