  • X-Men: Apocalypse is here and so are the cars of your favorite characters! Check them out!

    Wolverine Driving 1988 Toyota Hilux The “X-Men: Apocalypse” is probably one of the most awaited superhero movies this year and we are all hoping it is not a huge disappointment like “Batman vs. Superman”. The premiere of blockbuster-to-be movie is happening now and the hype is extremely huge. This was probably the reason for the appearance of these interesting renderings, which show what car models would the superheroes of X-Men drive. We would love to know your opinion about them, so make sure you leave a comment below. Is there anything unexpected you see or would you offer a better car for any of the characters?

    Wolverine Driving the Nasty Toyota Hilux from 1988

    If you have thought that the Wolverine would go for anything smaller, you would be wrong. The 1988 Toyota Hilux seems the perfect car for him with its rugged appearance and go-anywhere capabilities. In fact, in this rendering it almost looks indestructible… just like the protagonist played by Hugh Jackman.

    As you can see, this Hilux isn’t ordinary, but it has a few extra features to help Wolverine in his duties. These include huge and custom-made wheels and retractable blades, which give him the strength and ferocity to destroy the enemies.

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Any questions? Who would say anything else if this is the choice of the mighty Magneto. The character played by Michael Fassbender has chosen the beautiful maroon BMW M6 Coupe, which looks almost as stylish and sexy as he does. The slick high-speed car jumps to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in mere 3.9 seconds, so he will have no trouble escaping any hard situation.

    In this render, the body of the car is made from the same material as the helmet he wears, thus increasing his resistance to any incoming telepathy. In addition, he will sit behind a bulled prove glass (not that he needs it) and will ride his BMW on superior wheels.

    Mystique’s Blue Skinned BMW i8

    Mystique Driving BMW i8

    Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique, and her character has chosen the electric BMW i8. Made of carbon-fiber, she’s even faster, more agile and ready to make her enemies regret that they are alive. With blue scaly skin and flashing yellow headlights her i8 is almost as beautiful as she is.

    Charles Xavier Has Chosen the Tesla Model X

    Charles Xavier Driving Tesla Model X

    There is no other car than Tesla’s Model X that is perfect for Charles Xavier. James McAvoy’s character is science genius, who can not drive anything less than a vehicle made by a genius (like Elon Musk). He will also have no trouble accessing his spacious car, because of its double rear door entry. Sitting behind bullet proof windows he will manage the important duties and control the actions of the X-Men team.

    Apocalypse’s Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6

    Apocalypse Driving Mercedes-AMG 63 6x6

    Apocalypse is the longest survivor of all the X-Men and this is why the vehicle chosen for this character is the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6. Each Armour panel of this machine is intricately designed in art from another age. With these exaggerated wheels, the X-Men are set to destroy or finally save the world!

    Cyclops Has Chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R

    Cyclops Driving Shelby Mustang GT350R

    It is not a surprise that the Cyclops has chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R because he has always been a fan of the Shelby American. This particular render envisions the GT350R with super speed and lightweight carbon fibre wheels, visor windscreen and automatic headlamps which double up as red optic blasts.

    Jean Grey’s Cute Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey Driving Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey is played by one of the Game of Thrones’ cast, Sophie Turner (playing Sansa Stark). We are sure that she will make a fantastic role in these series, too. Her Jean Grey character is envisioned in the renderings driving a cute Volvo XC90, which also has unexpected capabilities. Because of the traumatizing memory of her sister’s death caused by a car accident, she has chosen the safest of brands. In addition, her XC90 also sports bullet proof windows and an inbuilt cerebro in the windshield.

    So, what do you think?

  • What happens when you give Infiniti QX80 the Missuro tuning pack? The result is unexpected [w/video]

    Larte Design Infiniti QX80 Missuro front viewIf you have an Infiniti QX80 and you think you need an individual touch, the Missuro tuning pack by Larte Design is probably the best choice to make. After applying it, the results are unexpectedly good and in fact the car looks amazing and very stylish. Another interesting detail is that the QX80 Missuro made huge furor at the Russian Podolsk, and it is currently making noise at the Moscow Tuning Show. So if you are in the vicinity you can see it this weekend at the event.

    Although not many tuning studios provide even good quality pictures of their work, the specialists at Larte Design not only have given us (and you respectively) more than enough images to praise (see the gallery below), but also have made an exclusive video for the pack, which is featured at the end of this article. So enjoy!

    The Missuro Chronicles

    Missuro is the name of just one of the four amazing tuning kits for the Infinti QX80 that Larte Design has developed so far. It gives the SUV a dynamic stance, determined posture and go-anywhere spirit.

    SEE ALSO: Autumn is Versatile in Colors and so is the Infiniti QX80 by LARTE Design [VIDEO] 

    When added, the styling pack actually changes the front and rear fascias and adds new wheels as well as three-mode LED lighting and a new exhaust system. It doesn’t do anything to the output or the interior, but still it is extremely impressive. What we see at the front are the additional vents above the headlights. They are not only serving aesthetical purposes, but also provide additional cooling for the engine compartment.

    In addition, LED lighting under the headlights is multifunctional and can be used as daytime running lights, parking lights and turn indicators. The radiator grille is also in-house made and one-off.

    At the back, there is a high performance exhaust system. It can be fitted with driver-operated electronic sound control valve and is completed by polished stainless steel tips. At last but not least, the experts added huge 24-inch three-piece modular wheels with forged centers. Behind the rims we see a powerful braking system from Rotora with 8-piston calipers, massive ventilated rotors high-performance pads and braided stainless steel brake hoses.

They transform the muscle icon thoroughly and give it power of up to 700 hp. The unique individual program comprises from a wide range of equipment, which enhances car’s performance, handling and styling.

    The tuner has made an emphasis over the upgraded suspension, because it delivers sharper on-the-limit handling, but it does not sacrifice the comfort over the broken road surfaces. Called Sutton Bespoke Power Packages, they offer three specifications CS350, CS500 and the supercharged CS700.

    While the first one has been developed for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost model, the latter two were made for Ford’s 5.0-litre V8 equipped variants. Precisely, the Mustang with the CS350 Power Package has an improvement of its output of up to 330bhp. The CS500 Power Package incorporates an upgraded cold-air intake, thus making it possible to lift peak power to 440bhp.

    At the top of the range sits the CS700 Power Package, which dramatically increases the peak power of the standard V8, lifting it from 416bhp to 645bhp . How this was made possible? The tuner achieved it through the addition of a Whipple supercharger, upgraded intercooler and a new quad-tailpipe active exhaust system. And by the way, the other two packs also get the latter. Note that performance can be taken to an even higher level with the help of larger throttle body, uprated injectors and a different pulley. As a result, the peak power is taken to over 700bhp!

  • Acura team reveals a second-gen of automated vehicle. Details here!

    2016 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Acura has finally revealed its second-gen automated development vehicle in California, the modified version of RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD luxury sedan. This RLX has been geared with fresh suite of radar, Lidar, camera and GPS sensors, better-performing CPUs and GPUs, improved cabling, heat management and circuitry. And all this topped with new and more flexible and intelligent software algorithms, How cool is that?

    This special vehicle is designed to achieve high reliability and flexibility by fusing ovelapping information from various sensors at the same time. Furthermore, this idea, known as sensor fusion, allows engineers to validate information from each signal with higher degree of accuracy than can be obtained from only one or from each one independently. In other words, the vehicle’s radar sensors are adept at detecting relative positions and velocity of off-board objects with impressive accuracy, while the camera system is best suited to detect objects in any size and shape. As you might already know, similar system is already applied to various Acura sedans and SUVs: yeas, you guessed it, I am talking about the AcuraWatch.

  • Lincoln has launched the ad campaign “it’s like that”, starring Matthew McConaughey [w/videos]

    2017 Lincoln MKZLincoln announces three new video ads in the new “it’s like that” campaign, once again with movie star Matthew McConaughey. This time the focus is on the 2017 Lincoln MKZ and the team definitely has a lot to show to the audience.

    Filmed with style and tone that conveys exhilaration and visceral feeling of driving, the new commercials bring the attention back to the MKZ, the premium midsize sedan, also known to be Lincoln’s best-selling vehicle since it arrived in showrooms three years ago.

    The three ads feature the new 2017 Lincoln MKZ and Matthew McConaughey include:

    Shave

    Mr. McConaughey sits relaxed in barber’s chair, receiving a professional and straight razor shave. As the barber ends the ritual with a steaming hot towel, we see the new 2017 Lincoln MKZ cutting through the fog of a winding road, conveying the “it’s like that” moment of exhilaration and precision.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO5LLcqVQy0

    Midnight

    At night (obviously), Matthew arrives at an impressive Modernist home, dressed in fine, tailored suit and walks outside to a beautiful swimming pool. As he stands at pool’s edge fully dressed and looks out, he recalls driving the MKZ and lets himself fall backwards into the water, fully dressed. And at the moment he hits the water, we see the new 2017 Lincoln MKZ acceleration out of a tunnel and into night time rain, expressing one more time “it’s like that” exhilaration of driving.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTITOmi4c78

    Ensemble (feat. Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings)

    We see a group of Musicians playing in a cozy indoor setting. As the camera pulls back, the music builds, and Sharon Jones begins singing a cover of “Midnight Rider”. As they continue to play, the camera recedes even further and we see the performance through the grille of the new 2017 Lincoln MKZ. And inside the vehicle, we see Matthew McConaughey as that very same midnight rider enjoying his drive. Sweet.

  • DMC Ferrari 488 GTB ORSO offers more power and charm than you could expect!

    DMC Ferrari 488 GTB ORSO front and side viewDMC Ferrari 488 GTB ORSO is the newest project by the German specialists at the luxury tuning studio. The choice of the car used as a basis is not accidental. In fact, when Ferrari debuted the 488 GTB, there was equal amount of people who liked it and other who didn’t. The reason for this controversy was of course, the twin turbo charged V8 engine. It was away from the classic natural aspirated engine. This is why, the tuning experts decided to improve the aerodynamics as well as the power of the Ferrari. As a result, the DMC 488 GTB Orso was born!

    There are two steps in this customization. The first one is the visual modification, and the second – the ECU optimization of the V8. It is good to know, that the production output numbers, which the unit generates are 670 hp (610 kW) and 760 Newton meters (560 lb-ft) of torque. So let’s see what has happened.

    SEE ALSO: DMC Finds Simplicity with the new Lamborghini Huracan [w/video] 

    The subtle change of the design began with the application of the elegant Stage 1 kit. It comprises of a sword and a spoiler for the front bumper. The latter is enhanced with vertical fins. At the sides we see new aero skirts, while at the rear there is a brand new diffuser and a rear wing. DMC ensures that these changes not only contribute for the visual improvement of the Ferrari, but also support the uprated engine.

    DMC Ferrari 488 GTB ORSO  side view

    The next step was to use an ECU reprogramming for the V8 unit and to replace the standard exhaust system with an in-house made one, so that 488 GTB could deliver more than enough. As a matter of fact, the engineers achieved an addition of 118 hp and 105 Nm. If you make the math, this results in a total of 788 hp (580 kW) and 865 Nm (638 lb-ft) of torque!

    Although there aren’t any pictures of the interior, DMC says that it will be imbued with the finest Italian leathers and carbon fiber.  Let’s not forget the wheels set up, which after the conversion is 20-inch lightweight alloys at the front and 21-inch at the rear.

    At last, each customer will get a gift: DMC iPhone case, in the same color spec as his car.
