The team that created the fastest street-legal all-electric vehicle –  clocked at 205.6 mph  (331 km/h) – is now accepting pre-orders for their upcoming Corvette C7-based model. The regular Corvette is a fast, loud, exotic machine, but so is Genovation’s GXE (minus the loud part). The small company took what  they’ve learned  with the previous model (which wasn’t road-legal), and stuffed it under the C7 Corvette Gran Sport’s skin. The result is a familiar automobile, with unfamiliar characteristics, boasting in excess of 660-hp and 600 lb-ft (813 Nm) of torque thanks to a state-of-the-art battery management system, inverters, batteries, and electric motors. The GXE has a range of only 130 miles (209 km) during normal driving operations (meaning a blast on the track will probably drain its juice much faster), but its near 50/50 weight distribution, and optimized center of gravity will make it sure the person behind the wheel will enjoy every minute with the car.

Hyundai and Gurnade Inc  have teamed up  in order to put together this Veloster Concept for the 2016 SEMA Show. The Gurnade Veloster Concept builds on the model's  already aggressive stance  by adding integrated flares, a frong splitter, racing canards, three-piece lightweight forged wheels and a custom rear spoiler. "Gurnade has always been drawn to the uniquely aggressive lines of the production Veloster,"  said Joshua Cloud, owner of Gurnade Inc.  "So when Hyundai approached us with the opportunity to develop one of their vehicles for SEMA, we didn’t hesitate to create the Gurnade Veloster Concept. It leverages all the strengths of the Veloster and takes it where we always envisioned it could go." Among the concept's key technical modifications, we've got the 845 Motorsports intercooler, downpipe and cold-air intake, the ECU tune, Synapse blow-off valve, ARK Performance cat-back exhaust, NEO Motorsports coil-overs & 6-piston brake kit, Pierce M...

Spanish  design house Bengala  will build just ten Ferrari F12-based Caballería models, part of their brand new Privilege Program. Production for all F12 Caballería models will be completed by summer 2017, when the bespoke carbon fiber creations will reach their ten lucky owners, all of whom will be automatically entered into the exclusive Privilege Program club. "In most cases, uniqueness is a state of mind; we bring to our customers an interpretation of their desires, based on their dreams. Put it simply, we mastered and created a unique piece of design and engineering, the Bengala F12 Caballería, and ten special individuals earned it,"  said Bengala CEO and Founder Shoghi Saeidnia. Thanks to the Privilege Program, F12 Caballería owners will have instant access to other Bengala  future limited edition projects , along with events and private viewings where members will get a first choice option before new designs are released onto the market. The aesthetics of t...

The Bentayga might not sit well with a number of Bentley purists, but there are others who'll very happily line up for a Crewe-made SUV - and that crowd is exactly who Mansory is targeting with its  quite extrovert  proposition. The Bavarian brand's  take on the Bentayga  is comprehensive. Thanks to its own autoclaves that are used to “bake” carbon fiber molds, it was able to design a completely new wide-body kit. The Bentayga’s front fascia now features new carbon-fiber bits such as an integrated front lip, front grille with air scoops mounted on top and an ultra-lightweight hood. There are also  wider fenders  and side-skirts, while at the back a spoiler and a diffuser were added to reduce lift.  The vehicle’s cabin was up next, with Mansory saying the finest materials were used in order to match the car’s superior credentials. Changes include a new aluminum pedal set, a redesigned steering wheels, individually stitched floor mats, and even re-uph...
