DMC McLaren MP4 Velocita

DMC has taken the wraps off the McLaren MP4 Velocita, ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Described as the "best" and "most aggressive McLaren MP4," the Velocita has a carbon fiber body kit ($24,995 / €19,215) that includes a new front fascia and a front lip splitter.

The model has also been equipped with 21-inch diamond forged alloy wheels ($12,995 / €9,990) and a titanium exhaust system ($5,495 / €4,225) that produces "screams so loud that it's likely not legal in most countries."

The components can be ordered individually or as a complete package for $59,980 (€46,110).

McLaren MP4-12C Spider Terso by FAB Design

FAB Design has applied its Terso body kit to the McLaren MP4-12C Spider, following last year's coupe version. The car seen in these photos was unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon showcasing a body kit featuring bigger air intakes, updated side air intakes, side skirts, diffuser and rear bumper. It has a new rear spoiler which is installed over the top of the stock unit. There's also a front splitter mounted below the windscreen, just like in the coupe. It sits on 20-inch FAB-Design Evolution forged wheels covered by Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires. Other changes include a proprietary stainless steel sports exhaust system and a three-chamber carbon tail pipe which have increased the output from 616 hp (460 kW) to 680 hp (507 kW). Most likely, other hardware changes (like an ECU upgrade) were necessary to reach this output.

Thanks to these tweaks, the McLaren MP4-12C Spider Terso reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in three seconds and can hit a top speed of 213 mph (343 km/h). FAB Design said they plan on making only 10 units.

Hamann memoR

Hamann's McLaren MP4-12C based memoR has been given the art car treatment to make "grass-green Porsches, neon yellow Lamborghinis and even luminous red Ferraris" fade into the background. Described as "magnificent haute couture," the multi-colored model has an aerodynamic body kit that draws inspiration from the McLaren F1. It features a new front bumper with LED daytime running lights, a front splitter and a roof-mounted air intake. There's also revised side skirts, an extended diffuser, a prominent rear wing and 21-inch aluminum wheels. The styling kit is priced from €95,000 ($123,225) which sounds pretty expensive since it doesn't appear to include any performance upgrades. However, customers can order a bespoke interior with everything from Alcantara upholstery to wood trim.

HAMANN memoR based on the McLaren MP4-12C

Hamann celebrated the world debut of its McLaren MP4-12C tuning program with the unveiling of the memoR at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The German company has now released a batch of new photos showcasing the model.

Hamann has failed to supply any engine tuning details, suggesting the package is unfortunately all about style. Perhaps the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine has been deemed sufficient and continues to produce the factory output of 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque.

The body kit meanwhile has been extensively updated with Hamann's own package. It includes a new front bumper with integrated LED lights, a new rear wing, a more aggressive hood with integrated air vents and an extensively redesigned rear end with a new triple-tailpipe layout and an extended rear diffuser.

The exterior design is then completed with a glossy black finish featuring a red racing stripe running along the center as well as a set of 21-inch wheels.

Gold covered 999bhp Mercedes McLaren SLR

When you have a Mercedes McLaren SLR and a lot of cash to spare, we could think of more tasteful things to do, but flamboyant Swiss businessman Ueli Anliker decided to use it for this extravagant creation.

Making its first appearance at Tuning World Bodensee last year, the vehicle is now named the ‘Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream'. Anliker spent a total of 30,000 man hours and £3.5 million. It has been garnished with 25 layers of red paint and 5kg of gold. The wheels, headlights and door sills are covered with 24 carat gold and the inside the cabin we can find 600 rubies worth £300,000. Anliker states the power unit under the hood started with a maximum output of 640bhp (480 kW / 650Php) which suggests this model was once the SLR 722 edition. It has now been boosted to 999bhp (745 kW / 985 PS) and has a top speed of 210mph (338kph). Ueli Anliker will not sell the exclusive model for anything less than £7 million (€8.2 million / $10.8 million).

Out back, there's a modified bumper, a rear diffuser and a carbon fiber wing. To finish things off, the MP4-12C rides on 20-inch wheels with Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires.
For added performance, the car is equipped with a stainless steel sports exhaust system which helps the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine to produce 680 PS (500 kW / 671 hp) and 715 Nm (527 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 80 PS (59 kW / 79 hp) and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft). This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 343 km/h (213 mph).
