Fancy Tuning

GSC Mercedes G-Class Is The G-Wagon Goldstorm

Posted: 23 May 2012 03:13 PM PDT

German Special Customs, better known as GSC from Chemnitz, Germany have released their latest take on the Mercedes G-Class G-Wagon Goldstorm. It definitely received a fancy look, even though Mercedes originally intended these G-Class SUV’s to be military vehicles years ago. Tuners continue to bring the most street worthy potential out of the luxury utility vehicle, and we won’t complain. This Mercedes G65 AMG features a 6.0-liter turbocharged V12 producing 603 bhp.

GSC decided to name this the GoldStorm, fitting it well since the shiny paint job and new headlights bring back memories of the gold Rolls-Royce Ghost by Mansory. The SUV also received a carbon fiber wide body kit, new tail lights and four brand new 5-spoke alloy rims wrapped in low profile high performance rubber. Final modifications consist of the lowered suspension to improve appearance and handling, while GSC did not mention any other upgrades to the performance of the Mercedes G-Class G-Wagon.

Aston Martin DBS Replica Based On Toyota Supra

Posted: 22 May 2012 05:38 PM PDT

Most Toyota Supra owners spend their time tricking out the 2JZ-GTE engine to hit the 1,000 horsepower milestone, however the British owner of this car decided to turn it into a replica of an Aston Martin DBS sports car. We guess he was a big fan of the James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, since that car was constantly in the spotlight. With the low resolution pictures from the eBay UK auction it’s hard to tell how good the quality of the body is, yet it looks like it could fool the average bystander.

This Toyota Supra DBS lets just call it, has roughly 64,000 km or 40,000 miles on it and is listed with a Buy It Now price of £45,900, €56,800 or US$72,500 at the exchange rates today. If you think this is cool, be sure to check out all the replica cars we’ve covered over the years. We’re glad to add this Aston Martin DBS replica to the collection of wanna-be Bugatti’s, Rolls-Royce’s and Bentley’s.
