DMC Creates “Elegante” Aero Kit for Ferrari 458 Italia

2015 DMC Ferrari 458 Italia Elegante South Africa Edition Side View What happens when a supreme Italian car meets an exclusive tuner like DMC? You are right if you say that the car becomes even cooler, but what I meant by this question is actually the expansion of DMC’s kits over even more exclusive supercars. The current vehicle under attention is the Ferrari 458 Italia, which is bathing in its exuberant red exterior paint.

And although the luxury tuner usually transforms Lambos, the 458 kits it prepares are staring to evoke more and more glances. We have seen in the past how the 458 Italia has been transformed in 458 Estremo or 458 Monte Carlo limited editions. And they are very, very beautiful.

Now, it is time to get introduced to the 458 Elegante, which received a package that carries the same name. The kit was installed by the South Africans at RACE. The result is spectacular and you can view it below!

“Elegante” body kit gives the Ferrari a whole new and aggressive look thanks to the aerodynamic components it adds. These feature front lips and side skirts as well as some other tiny details which not only look great but also support a better road feel.

Furthermore, as you can see each window has been blacked out. This adds the feel of individuality and seclusion. Added luxury is expressed also via the gold-plated five-spoke wheels. In other words: the car looks out of this world, doesn’t it? We can’t wait seeing the next DMC project!

DMC Adds GT Package to McLaren MP4 12C Velocita SE

The tuners at DMC are famous for their luxury projects based on supersports cars. Their focus is mainly on Lambos, but from time to time they like to do some work on McLarens. And if you remember the MP4 12C “Velocita” Special Edition project, then now you should be excited since the specialists have developed an additional GT package for the automobile.

As DMC says, this car expresses tuning at its finest. The reason for this is the included materials like the lightweight carbon of the body kit, the titanium exhaust system and the Italian leather inside.

Starting with the front, the additional bumper has received a new “GT package” lip, and the grill has been changed for more fierce design. There have been also added aggressive F1 carnards and side skirts, which further enhance the appearance of the car.

At the back we see the most striking elements. First, the rear diffuser has received revised tunnel set-up, while the rear spoiler has been substituted with light weight one. Just take a look at the rear wing and then proceed to the roof where you’ll see the GT scoop. It has been put there not only for aesthetic purpose but also because it can direct the air flow to the rear wing, so basically these two work together.

ECU changes have been applied to the engine, too. It now produces 660 hp (485 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft), which is pretty impressive given the fact that the standard model could only do 592 hp (435 kW) and 599 Nm (442 lb-ft).

What’s left to review is the new interior of this McLaren and although we haven’t received any pictures of it we are pretty sure it is impressive. According to DMC all leather panels can be substituted with a red tone, depending on customer’s wish. The cabin can be further enhanced with various materials such as carbon or wood, leather or Alcantara. What’s your choice?

DMC Teases new Lambo Lineup Ahead of Geneva Debut

It took exactly five years for the luxury tuning company DMC to be accepted to join the renowned Geneva Motor Show. The good new is that this year the visitors of the famous car exhibit will have the opportunity to “meet” the brand and get to know its work better. As a matter of fact, if one company wants to join the prestigious exhibitions, it can’t just simply give money for a booth. To be accepted, the company needs to have professional background, and most important history.

So this basically means that addition of DMC to the auto salon in Switzerland signifies that it has already joined an elite level of brands. For the show is where the top players of the industry showcase their annual developments.

And to get us all heated up of the most important event, DMC specialists have just released a first teaser image, showing part of their line up. We are almost sure that we are going to see an all Lambo set-up, which will have a possible Stage2 Huracan kit.

We have already seen the Lambo which is going to be featured in the event, so we aren’t quite sure whether there is to be a new project, or the already presented one. The DMC Lamborghini Huracan has a rear wing with an additional base spoiler under it. The latter is stronger and more reliable on the inside.

The interior design of the Huracan was also refined and now features fine leathers and carbon fiber components. There are also a lot of buttons and trims as well as redesigned steering wheel that come as additional packages.

During Geneva Motor Show, DMC will also present the new rims in the lineup. They will come in a 20″/21″ setup and are considered to be the widest sets in the market so far.

On the teaser image we also see silver Lamborghini Countach, but we aren’t sure we are to see it at company’s stand at the show.

DMC Lamborghini Teddy Bear Edition

We all know about the eccentricity of China. After all, there are plenty of bizarre things to see there. Like crocodiles ready for roasting, as well as frogs and turtles… and dried reptile parts sold in Chinese supermarkets. The country also presented to the world Conchita Wurst. No, I’m taking that last one back. It wasn’t China. But still, now it wows the streets of Dalian with a quite strange Lamborghini: Teddy Bear Edition (ha-ha) !

One of the proudest and most sophisticated models tuned by DMC, Lamborghini Aventador, has been spotted with a giant teddy bear on its roof in the city of Dalian, China. The reason why is unknown but it definitely succeeded in capturing people’s attention!

To recap briefly the specifics of the DMC Lamborghini Aventador, it arrives in three versions: Spezial, Molto Veloce and Edition GT. All of the three variants feature new front and rear bumpers with enormous splitter and diffuser featuring a one-of-a-kind design. There are also side skirts, refined side vents, and an optional rear wing made from carbon fiber. The supercar takes advantage of unique 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Dione alloy wheels with orange brake calipers. In addition to this, the tuning company can provide its customers with an individualized interior and engine enhancements which boost the power up to 900 HP. Not bad, right?

Now that I’m thinking, it might be the year of the great bear in China. Who knows…

DMC McLaren MSO MP4 is Capable of 660 HP?

MSO or McLaren Special Operations produces company’s finest products. One of them, the MSO MP4 has been refined by the luxury tuning specialists at DMC. The elegant styling and performance packages that they have created are in perfect harmony with the original MP4 design. They are made with materials such as carbon fiber (for the body kit), titanium (for the exhaust system), and exclusive Italian Leather (for the interior).

Although the front bumper could receive a front lip, DMC decided to leave it unchanged. However, they did add new side skirts which support the pressure between the axles. The rear of the car includes a rear diffuser that displays a revised tunnel set-up by adding 2 fins.

At the back we also see that the standard rear spoiler has been replaced with a light weight one. The rear wing together with the aero scoop on the roof creates a sense of perfection. It supports the aerodynamics, because the scoop is capable of directing the wind flow to the rear wing.

The performance is also supported by new forged alloy wheels in size of 20×8,5” at the front and 21×12” at the back. They were later fitted with P-Zero tyres of the dimensions 245/30r20 and 325/25r21.

This McLaren has also received an ECU performance package as well. It boosts the power of the supercar from 592 hp (435 kW) and 599 Nm (442 ft.lbs) to 660 hp (485 kW) and 680 Nm (502 ft.lbs) of torque. The package is rounded-out with the refinement of the interior which now sports new Italian fine leathers and carbon fiber treatment.

DMC Strikes Again with the New Huracan AFFARI

DMC tuning company has been actively involved in tuning the beasts produced by Lamborghini for many years now. Its strong passion for renewing and improving a certain model results in outlining enhanced super-cars which really can blow your mind. DMC final products can be seen as a piece of art all of which stand out with their individuality and assertiveness and just point at themselves saying: “Look at us and beat us if you can!”

When it comes to Lamborghini vehicles, DMC really knows how to break in and subordinate this wild animal. Now the tuning company turns out to be the first to show a complete body kit, wheels and performance package for the brand new Huracan Affari.

The new styling kit created by DMC offers a phenomenal front fascia which is comprised of 2 spoiler lips and unique wide body extensions with aero-swords. The integrated side skirt diffusers have the role to deliver better overall aerodynamics which are supported by the brand-new rear diffusor. The biggest and most notable enhancement of the package is the new rear wing spoiler that is placed on a re-engineered deck lid. The wing can be set to three different angles. By doing this, it provides the driver with a number of custom settings which vary from hard to soft. All of the components are made of carbon fiber.

The Green Goblin, uh, I mean the new DMC Lamborghini Huracan Affari has a boosted power of 630 PS due to the optimized engine electronics, an electronic load pressure control system and a brand new Exhaust system.

The tuner gives this Lamborghini new forged alloy wheels which stabilize and secure the car on the road. Precisely, the DMC rims come in a 20″/21″ setup. The front receives a technical set up of 20×8,5J while the rear showcases specs of 21x12J. Finally, DMC is going to use a 245/30r20 / 325/25r21 tire combination with a softer P-Zero application available too.

The finishing touch is the refined interior which is polished with Italian fine leather and carbon fiber materials.

It is fast, it is luxurious, it is custom built and it is one-of-a-kind! We are speaking about the latest DMC Lamborghini, which has been recently showed to the automotive world. This particular project is called DMC Lamborghini LP988 Edizione GT and it has firstly received two special kits: the stage one – Molto Veloce, and the stage two – Spezial Version. What makes it so unique and of course – Limited Edition, is the addition of stage thee – the Edizione-GT through which it has become an unexpected monster.

Edizione-GT or simply E-GT is a built according to the FIA regulations in mind. More importantly – this Lambo is completely street legal! While the major bite is taken by the body kit and the engine upgrade, the customizers at DMC have also added special two tone paint, set of forged alloy wheels as well as updated the interior.

E-GT body kit comes with completely newly designed front and rear bumpers, a breath-taking engine-bonnet replacement with a motor cooling air-scoop and side skirts. The package also features a massive GT-Spoiler, which can be set by hand in three different angles for different aerodynamics.

DMC “Extrem” Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The Mercedes G-Class, formerly know as the G-Wagen is a traditional tough off-roader. It hasn’t changed much since its release back in 1979. The company sets for a new beginning with the launch of Mercedes Benz G500/G65 AMG program.

A redesigned vented front hood had to be added because of the new monstrous new engine with its doubled performance from 385 hp (285 kW) to the unbelievable 700 hp (515 kW). There are, for now 2 different engines. One is a 5.5 litre bi turbo petrol V.8 which can reach from 0 to 62 mp/h (100 km/h) in less than 5 seconds. And there is the second engine which is a 3.0 litre V.6 diesel which accelerates from 0 to 62 mp/h (100 km/h) in 9 seconds.

Round headlamps and turning indicators are placed right on top of the headlamps. The body panels appear strong. DMC comes with a variety of alloy wheels. Sizes range from 23” to 25”. Dimensions are 305/30/23 but can be re-adjusted.

At the off-road is where the G-class exceeds any other. It has massive ground clearance and impressive approach and departure angles; there is also a low-range mode and three way lockable differential to help stabilize the car when driving on slippery surface.

The G-class is spacious and convenient for carrying a lot of luggage. The trunk is huge and it’s square shape only adds practicality and even more space. Moreover, the backseats can be fold down which opens up additional space.

The cabin has been polished up so it can have efficient luxury to appeal to its new target markets: Asia and Middle East. It can be acquired with lots of modern equipment. All the safety features are included that can be found on all modern cars. Rear seat entertainment digital screens and radio. Three average size adults can fit on the rear sits with ease with comfortable headroom. Central locking engages once the vehicle accelerates. The interior can be tailor made with Carbon Fiber materials or with extremely rare Ostrich and Stingray leathers.

What I don’t like about the tailgate, is that its pain to open in tight spaces with the spare wheel on the back it makes it really heavy. Getting inside the car is proving to be a challenge. You have to make a big leap to get yourself in and it does not get easier , the running board is sticking out which allows a lot of dirt and mud to be brought inside the car, not to mention the need of strong thumbs to operate the integrated handles. Considering how big the G-class is, the knee room does not allow a lot of space and stretching is really hard to do.

The car is not exactly responsive. This is because of the low gearing of the steering. It tricks you into thinking it is a sports car because of the way it accelerates. It’s dangerous to make sudden emergency maneuver because then you get the feeling you are more like a tractor rather then a racing car. Another downfall is that on high degree corners, the G-class leans and becomes unstable.

DMC Teases Lamborghini Huracan Affari

The first photos of DMC Lamborghini Huracan Affari have just leaked. They show more details on the upcoming DMC LP630 Huracan, dubbed as Affari. This is an Italian word and means affair, and obviously the tuners don’t have anything against having one with this Lambo. DMC also noted that the internal project code is “STAGE-H1”. With this name they make a reference to their Aventador kits, so we must expect a thorough transformation of this supercar.

What we can see from these photos is that the Affari is getting a wide range of aero components. The front bumper for instance has received new tunnels. In fact, they seem to be sliced by aggressive center swords. Additionally, here is also where is featured a set of elegant front lips that deliver additional down-force and enhance the visual appearance of the car.

Furthermore, there have been also added side-skirts that contribute to the unique appearance of the Lamborghini. What is more, they play an important role in the aerodynamics of the car. At the rear, we can see a new rear wing, a base spoiler and a redesigned diffuser set-up. Most of the parts in this project will be made of nothing else but dry carbon fiber.

Another worth mentioning announcement that DMC have made about this project is that the Huracan will get ECU programming. So this means that we can expect from the Affari to produce far more than 610 PS (448 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque.

The power will be transmitted onto the road via new set of forged alloy wheels. Their dimensions are 20×8,5” at the front, wile the rear are fitted the 21×12”. DMC will be using a 245/30r20 and 325/25r21 tyres for the front and rear respectively.
