2012 GSC Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Kit

Finishing specialists, German Special Customs, have developed a new aerodynamic assembly kit designated with the nickname 'Stealth' to fit the current AMG CLS63 models.

The sportiness and elegance of the AMG remains, the additional aerodynamic accessories are subtly nestled into the outer body.

However, the kit makes the front of the AMG CLS63 series look a lot more aggressive and gives the impression of a broader frame thanks to the new bumper, new hood and other accessories. The bumper features integrated daytime LED running lights.

German Special Customs make their mark clear on the grill which has been proudly decorated with their emblem.

Engine

A broad shaft in the new engine hood ensures the hot air produced by the 5.5 liter Biturbo V8 engine is disposed of appropriately. Additionally, the broadness of the AMG CLS63 is accentuated via new side skirts and new mud guards.

It's not just the front end that has been styled into a more aggressive looking machine. A new rear bumper, built with an integrated diffuser, made from carbon fiber, air outlets and a four-pipe steel exhaust system with angular end-pipes also adds to the aggressiveness.

Performance

As well as the many aerodynamic component upgrades, the CLS63 AMG has also received a performance upgrade to 750 hp and it can now achieve a maximum of 848 ft lbs of torque produced by V8 Biturbo engine displacement.

To achieve the additional 225 hp, an additional water cooler, a larger set of turbochargers and a new exhaust has been added. The additional power output means that the CLS63 can go from 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds! Maximum speed is said to reach 217 mph.


Wheels

To avoid the loss of traction that comes with the increase in power, a new set of 20" rims have been provided along with a KW coilover on the CLS63's front axle, with adjustable suspension capabilities. The Stealth kit also comes fitted with 255/30R20 tires on the front and 295/25R20 tires on the rear.

2012 PG Elektrus

Caution: the 2012 PG Elektrus is not for the faint of heart. It's also not for those who like to blend in.

Instead, this electric car is for the person who wants to stand up and out and be noticed by one and all, because that's exactly what happens to people who buy this car. Not only do you look good, but you get to help the environment.

Familiar Look

The 2012 PG Elektrus is based on a Lotus frame, so if the car looks familiar to you, that is why. The Elektrus combines the sexy smoothness of the Lotus with a gnarling open grill that makes one think Mad Max might be just over the horizon.

It's an electric car with both an attitude and a new look on life. It also likes to go fast. How fast? How does zero to 60 mph in three seconds sound? We agree: it's pretty impressive.

Of course, it takes about eight hours to charge, but it's worth it. There is simply no other electric car on the road today that is as cool as the PG Elektrus. It also comes with its own solar panel, which is mounted on the back and continually collects power from the sun.

Handling

The Elektrus has excellent handling, and when it takes corners it shows its true racecar lineage. This is a driver's car meant for someone who truly enjoys everything about a sports car, from the look to the feel to the sound to the smell.

Citroen DS5 Does the bold new family car deliver on the promise of its looks?

It’s not fairly often a replacement automobile comes along that creates you shout out ‘wow’. however the Citroen DS5 isn’t like the rest on the road. it's additional sort of a one-off motor show concept than one thing you'll get.

The interior is even more dazzling than the exterior, plus it feels great – definitely Citroen’s best quality yet. Everything you touch oozes class: the dash is made from a material so soft that a passenger airbag probably isn’t necessary; the watch-strap-style ‘Club’ optional leather seats resemble those in a Ferrari and the solid metal door handles are like pieces of modern art.

The DS5 is cool – so cool that you want to fall in love with it. But will it break your heart? We found the Hybrid4 version flawed when we drove it in December 2011. Fortunately the diesel is much better. It’s quiet, smooth and, thanks to a nice spread of thrust, delivers strong performance. Economy and emissions impress, too.

It’s simply a shame that the slick six-speed gearbox is that the solely a part of the DS5 expertise which is able to please keen drivers. The steering is therefore imprecise it feels as if the wheel is connected to the rack by a slinky spring, whereas the wallowy handing isn't any match for a Ford Mondeo, plus cars just like the BMW three Series, that the high worth puts the DS5 in direct competition with.

Obviously, this being a Citroen, the trade-off is a ride as smooth as melted chocolate, right? Sadly not. Even though the car feels softly sprung, the suspension crashes over bumps.

If you spend most of your time on the motorway, none of this will be an issue. However, in the cold light of a daily commute, the novelty of the DS5 soon wears off – and what you thought was love turns out to be lust.

There is a reason road cars don’t look like concepts: the design on the outside demands compromises inside. And you’ll soon become irritated by the Citroen’s limited rear headroom, split back window, awkward button layouts, tiny glovebox and useless cup-holders.

When you drive one thing with less ‘wow’ issue – sort of a Volkswagen CC – you realise one thing the Germans have known for ages: boring works.
