This is a piece of German tuning for an American car, with O.CT-Tuning supercharging the Chevrolet Camaro SS and offering it the Yellow Steam Hammer designation. The starting point for the project was a 2012 Camaro SS (the European market version), with the 6.2-liter V8 ditching the natural aspiration in favor of a supercharger kit that boosts power to 630 hp and torque to 538 lb-ft (730 Nm). The vehicle also re... [...]

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,... [...]

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.

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...
