MEC Design – Automobiles Review

Ferrari with a touch of MEC Design Magic: a rather satisfactory result!

2016 MEC Design Ferrari 488 Spider We all love Ferrari vehicles and we all love fine-tuned Ferrari vehicles, do not we? And because of our unconditional love we will tell you about a special 488 Spider model. So, sit down, relax and enjoy!

As you might know, the latest 488 Spider made its debut some years agosince then is one of Ferrari’s proudest moments. But, there are some people who still want more and know that can push the boundaries even further. Indeed MEC Design team decided to take a closer look to the vehicle and tweak it a bit.

The Berlin-based studio has just rolled out a special styling and technical program for owners that look for something more than stock power and visuals. There a lot of exclusive tweakable features and tons of improvements, but the design team makes it clear of one thing: to keep the looks and performance as close as the original without changing the nature of the 488 Spider too much.

So, what did they do?

2016 MEC Design Ferrari 488 Spider

First of all, there is a three-piece “Scossa Rossa” body kit with new spoiler lip, dive planes on the corners, side sill panels and multiple-section rear diffuser with under-run protection. Also, there is a matt-black theme that covers the air intakers, grille and other body components.

This stylish black theme leaves its presense on the rear light cluster and door lock and then finally covers the darkest of hues. At the same time the in-house meCCon CCd5 alloys contribute to the visual styling with sweet five-spoke design in matte black. Cool.

In terms of performance and drivetrain system, MEC Design team adds sporty suspension kit that lowers the overall ride height by 60mm and further improves handling. The engine itself hasn’t undergone any notable changes, but on the other hand, MEC Design offers a special sport exhaust system, named “Apocalypse”. Badass.

The interior is dominated by exclusive leather and some MEC Design-exclusive components: there is a whole carbon-fiber interior package fitted in that brings carbon-fiber inserts for the doors, dashboard and central console, including heater control panel. Also, there are sweet MEC Design floor mats and LED lightning set.

So, what do you think?

Cerberus is back! Meet the updated Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet by MEC Design

MEC DESIGN Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet Cerberus front view Somewhere in the past we have spoken about this project. Nevertheless, it comes stronger than ever with absolutely new pictures, which you can see and download (for free) from Automobilesreview gallery below. The changes added by the specialists at MED Design include a brand new body-kit as well as interior updates, worth writing about.

The stylish widebody kit catches the eye for sure. However, the car used as a basis the E-class A207 Cabriolet is pretty impressive to work on. To make it clear from the start, this project does not include any overboost of power, but features beautifying changes to the exterior and interior.

Exterior

Beginning with the front, the tuners decided to make the Cerberus with menacing and almost intimidating appearance. The front is completed with a brand new bumper, which features huge air vents as well as a spoiler lip with air splitter. For those wanting to “shine in the dark”, MEC Design have added LED daytime running lights.

The new front wings feature wide arch flares, while the bonnet now includes row of air vents along its sides. Continuing to the side, there we see in-house made side skirts, which have been equipped with LED lights to illuminate the ground below the vehicle in the dark. The massive wheel arches have been filled out with 20-inch Luxury Grey CCd5 three-piece alloys by MEC Design and then shod with 245/35ZR20 and 325/30ZR20 rubbers at the front and rear, respectively. The ride height has been lowered by the means of additional suspension kit.

The rear of the E-Class Cabriolet is now proud owner of a new bumper with integrated diffuser frames, four-pipe stainless-steel sports exhaust system from the “Earthquake” range.

Interior

The changes throughout the cabin are not so elaborate, but they perfectly complement the fantastic work done by the professional tuning studio. Immediately grabbing the attention is the sport steering wheel Alcantara and black piano lacquer. Then we see the accents to the interior made by the addition of trim inserts finished in black piano lacquer. At last, a set of exclusive floor mats with Nubuck edging add the finishing touch.

MEC design Mercedes-Benz W204

MEC design have released an overhauling program for the Mercedes-Benz C-class. It covers all the W204 range – from the C180K to C63AMG. Nothing groundbreaking – Just a bit of sound and style, a dash of chrome, and some carbon fiber.

To start off, we have a set of special “mecxtreme III“ 1-piece 9×20″ wheels, wrapped in 235/30 ZR 20 all rounders. A choice between two rear diffusers is given. One is carbon fiber, the other isn’t. Also, both of them are only compatible with the C63 Coupe with AMG Styling kit (sports package), post 2011. Then there’s some badging – A chromed “MEC Design” logo for the boot lid and – a replacement for the Mercedes-Benz star – a “MEC Design” emblem.

Inside, four floor mats finished with precious velours/ nubuck-leather embroidery and a MEC Design-logo will set you back 171 euros ($228). An even more voluminous expense is the MEC steering wheel which will be yours for 1,250 euros ($1,673) in exchange for the old one. Make that 1,440 euros ($1,928) if you want carbon inserts in it. Other than that, the wheel is said to be ergonomic with perforated leather on the handling area and MEC design inscriptions at the lower end.

Finally, to make sure that you don’t go anywhere unnoticed, MEC have provided some artillery pieces – two stainless steel mufflers with four oval tailpipes, sizing 115x85mm. The 4 cylinder models C200CGI, C250CGI should also get a splitter Y-piece pipe so that they can accommodate the two mufflers from each side. Here’s how a C63 AMG makes use of that orchestra:
