Frankfurt Show is well and truly over, but we find ourselves with a lot unpublished material that we are sure, as car fans, you’ll want to see. So read on! Firstly on on the Mansory stand, there’s a pink, totally outrageous, modified Bentley coupe. Just why would you want to do this to a beautiful car, even if you have way too much money?! Answer: you wouldn’t but it sure gets some attention. Maybe we looked at the other stars on their stand as a resultf you thought carbon fibre-everywhere was yesterday’s theme, then look further along their stand where an Aston and a Bugatti lurk in proud assertion of the breed. At least the dark weave of the carbon cloth gives an unexpected understatement to the conversions. Naturally there are deep performance tweaks to supplement the cult clothing. But this is a fashion show…and bespoke clothing doesn’t come cheapMansory’s carbon and chrome Bugatti Veyron, by contrast is pretty tasteful. Veyron’s are not subtle, and plenty of factory cars look more outrageous than this example. We’ll take this one and leave the matt pink Bentley thanks.

Porsche Panamera CLR 700GT by Lumma Design
After Tech art revealed their customization package for the new penamera, is time to move our attention to Lumma Design, who revealed today the first details on their tuning program for the luxury sedan.
But compared to the German tuner, Lumma Design is coming with an aggressive wide body kit with fender extensions, side skirts, new hood with air outlets, new bumpers, new rear wing and rear diffuser with quad exhaust pipes. And all that is crowned by 22-inch lightweight alloy wheels.
Further more, the ride height has been lowered by 35mm and the engine will be tuned to deliver around 700 hp.
