  • Full carbon-fiber bodied Z4 coupe

    This is probably the most extreme a modified Z4 coupe can get. Featuring a complete wide-body carbon fiber shell, the entire car weighs only 2780 lbs (1260kg) – a saving of 500lbs over the original. Combine this with the 342hp (255kW) inline six, and you’re left with one blistering performance coupe. Additional weight is saved by utilising a lightened flywheel and battery plus the removal of unnecessary interior mod-cons. Other enhancements include the addition of Volk racing wheels, a performance brake package and double adjustable Koni coil-overs. Our favourite would have to be...

    Studiotorino’s Cayman-based RK Coupe

    One of the problems with many of the Euro-tuners is that their cars are often considered gaudy because of the huge wheels and overcreative bodykits. Sure, they may go like stink, but there’s not a whole lot of class to it. That’s why we really like the work done by Italian based Studio...

  • Ferrari Enzo targa

    To some, modifying an Enzo is sacrilege, but for one crazy owner, having a targa-style removable roof was necessary. Sharing many of its parts with the Maserati MC12, which is already equipped with a removable roof, the task of creating the world’s first targa Enzo was not too difficult. Let us know what you think of the look in the comments below.

    Car customiser JE Design have created a wide-body kit for the Audi Q7, which, not surprisingly, is labelled the Q7 WIDE BODY. The normally understated look of the Audi is masked by the excessive body kit that screams “plastic fantastic.” This is an obvious case of too much money and no...
