Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir by Cam Shaft

 The Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir edition is one of the most exclusive cars on the planet with only 15 examples made. One of the defining traits of the Sang Noir, which translates as Black Blood, is its exterior color and visible carbon fiber components. However, Cam Shaft decided to do something different by giving it a new appearance. The company from Lower Rhine in Germany gave it a chrome blue wrapping with custom lightning bolts. All carbon fiber parts and the front of the car, including the headlamps were wrapped with a paint protection film to keep the likelihood of damages due to everyday road debris to a minimum. While Bugatti purists are holding their heads in disbelief, Cam Shaft says a standard premium car wrap costs about 2,000 euros. In the case of the Sand Noir, the chrome blue wrap in addition to the special paint protection film is in the five-figure region.

Mansory Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

Overshadowed by two high profile debuts, the MP4-12C and Aventador, from the house of Mansory, the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG was somewhat neglected by the world's media. Better late than never, we have the full details and photos for you.
The carbon-fiber obsessed firm from Brand, Germany starts with a wide body kit which expands the front and rear wings by 50mm and 80 mm respectively and also includes new side sill and cladding. With the newly designed hood in place, the appearance of carbon fiber covers almost all surfaces when viewing the vehicle from the front. At the rear, a new rear bumper fascia is defined by a dramatic diffuser that Mansory says increases the vehicle's downforce in cooperation with the rear spoiler. The wide body CLS's look is finished off with 20-inch ultralight forged wheels with 265/30ZR20 tires at the front and 305/25ZR20 tires at the rear.
Under the hood with its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 which produces in standard form 557 PS (410 kW / 550 hp) and 799 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, Mansory managed to squeeze out a total of 640 PS (471 kW / 631 bhp) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque at 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. This increase in power is the result of a newly programmed control unit as well as a sports air filter.
No Mansory tuned vehicle is complete without a customized interior. Aluminum pedals and footrests supplement the elaborately designed full-leather upholstery, along with deluxe entry sills and floor mats with custom embroidery. Carbon fiber trim pieces are found on the dashboard and center console while the sports steering wheel features newly designed ergonomics.

Lamborghini Aventador by Prindiville Design


Prindiville Design has relaunched and rebranded their tuning house and have begun by taking on the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The company from the UK has introduced a number of carbon fiber replacement body panels that offer weight savings of up to 65 percent and give the model a rather sexy two-tone exterior look. Under the exterior, Prindiville has upgraded the Aventador's engineering to force a little extra performance. It starts with a titanium high performance exhaust system that is 80 percent lighter than the factory installed version. Also included in the package is an uprated ECU and high-flow induction system to boost power. Prindiville are also launching new tuning packages for the Ferrari 458 and Range Rover Evoque, incorporating the aforementioned updates.
