2014 Range Rover by OVERFINCH revealed

The 2014 Overfinch Range Rover (pictured) revealed The world is full of customisers who will take your Range Rover and make it more individual, but there is one such company that has the credibility of a history of making Range Rovers more appealing and, on the whole, doing it in a more subtle way than many of the newcomers – Overfinch. The 2014 Overfinch Range Rover has been revealed as ‘the world’s most luxurious SUV’ (according to Overfinch) with a huge range of options to make Overfinch’s Range Rover as individual as your tastes – and bank account – will allow. Overfinch has added their traditional three cooling apertures in the front bumper – complete with lacquered carbon fibre treatment – and the new back bumper, side skirts and roof spoiler are all made from carbon fibre too, perfectly in tune with the new Range Rover’s lighter ethos, and there’s a set of cast tailpipes by Overfinch at the back.

Brabus unveils 850-hp grocery getter

It wouldn't be the Essen Motor Show without German tuning house Brabus introducing its own versions of one or two of Mercedes-Benz cars, with borderline-unbelievable power figures. And this year the Bottrop-based outfit didn't disappoint, rolling out the Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo based on the 2014 E63 AMG station wagon. For starters, Brabus has increased the V8 engine's displacement from 5,461cc to 5,912cc, installing custom-made forged pistons and a precision balanced billet crankshaft, and replacing the stock turbos with ones of their own design featuring larger compressor units.
