Carlsson improves upon the Mercedes SL63 AMG

Not happy with only 518 hp and a 4.5-second 0-to-60-mph time from your shiny new Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG? Lucky for you, the German tuners from Carlsson are now offering performance-upgrade kits in the United States. Through GGI European Tuning in Miami--the exclusive North American importer of Carlsson parts--SL63 owners can massage their rides to churn out 600 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque and to handle better than stock.

Citroën Lacoste Concept at Paris

The Citroen Lacoste Concept - A Gallic Mini Moke? You would be entirely forgiven for taking one look at the photo at the top and deciding it was a another over the top Golf Buggy for golfers with more money than taste (no, I’m not going there).

Lotus Evora 414E Range Extender EV moves forward

The Lotus Evora 414E – a Lotus Engineering range extender hybrid project – is still moving ahead with dynamic and durability testing now underway. On the surface the Evora 414E looked like every other Evora, but under the skin sat the first version of a Lotus range-extender platform with a pair of electric motors and a small, 3-cylinder range-extender engine promising impressive performance and economy. Despite the reveal of the 414E at Geneva in 2010, there’s not been a huge amount of news on Lotus pushing forward with the project, or at least not until we got the Infiniti Emerg-E Concept at Geneva this year that turned out to be underpinned by the Evora 414E platform.
