The car was set up for a debut at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, last month, but with the Covid19 pandemic, the model was launched just some time ago. The media gallery bellow shows the car în its original form, after being long-rendered and showcased în teaser images. And as you can depict from the gallery, this is one impressive ride from a design perspective.

Staggering Price

Once emerging on the market towards the end of the year, or possibly at the beginning of 2021, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will cost a staggering 990,000 euros, which is around $1.08 million. That makes it around five times more expensive than the regular GT-R Nismo ($212,435).

Unfortunatelly, this is going to be a limited-edition of just 50 pieces, with the first batch to be delivered towards the end of the year.

Design Like No Other GT-R

The production model is absolutely mind-blowing in terms of styling and that because Italdesign tuning firrm knows its business too well. Hence the successful partnership between the two of the companies for many years.

The exterior strikes with the special paintwork, highlighted by the new front and rear fascias wrapped in black shape. There are also other changes brought to the car`s bumpers and headlights. We are dealing here with new LED headlights, while the roof now features a lower center section, which is flanked by raised outer areas. At the back, there is a huge wing which can be adjusted at high speeds. The changes could not be completed without the new set of 21-inch alloy wheels, custom-built for this particular model.

How about the Interior?

Changes were made inside the cabin as well. We are dealing here with a lot of leather and Alcantara and generous use of carbon fiber.

Mechanics and Performance

Besides the new look at the exterior and fresly-updated cabin, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign is also a real monster under the hood as well.

Mechanically, the technicians from Nissan added a new suspension system with continuously-adjustable damping, along with Brembo brakes and updated sequential six-speed, dual-clutch transmission.

Performance wise, the 2020 Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign features a high-performance 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, capable to output a staggering 710 horsepower and 780 Newton-meters, way more than the GT-R Nismo.

The new 2021 Kia Sorento was detailed towards the end of last month in the first leaked images – being highlighted with a sharp design and fully-packed with the latest technologies on board; now, we have the official details and images of the model.

The new and much more modern SUV is larger than the previous one, and comes with the carmaker`s new design philosophy; it is also the first SUV from the range to come as a hybrid variant. As for the interior, it is fully-packed with the latest gadgetries and safety systems.

Design Details

The 2021 Kia Sorento looks eye-catching at the exterior with a daring design that highlights a strong personality and “refined boldness”, as the car manufacturer declared.

Starting with the front, the new Kia Sorento wears the new grille with the company`s “tiger nose”, along with slim headlights that incorporates LED daytime running lights, with “tiger eye” pattern.

At the back, there is new set of vertical-stacked taillights with squarer-edged corners. There is also the new roofline which maximizes boot space inside the cabin. Also, the rear end comes with more prominent horizontal lines as well, which increases the feeling of a robust SUV, while the lower rear bumper is wrapped in black sheeting. That gives the overall design a sharper and edgier feel than the present design.

Interior Details

In terms of dimensions, the new 2021 Kia Sorento is much wider than the current model. The A-pillar for instance, is 30mm back and comes with shorter front and rear overhangs, and a much longer wheelbase. That provides increased space inside.

Technology Details

Technology wise, the 2021 Kia Sorento is equipped with the latest gadgetries and accessories. There is the new 10.21-inch multimedia touch-screen on the dashboard, along with a 12.-3-inch digital screen for the instrument cluster. There are also some buttons that surround the main screen, while the climate control system is features by an “H” pattern for the vents.

As for the gear shifter, this one has been replaced by a rotary-like selector which supports driving modes and other control features.

Engine Lineup

Even if we do not have the official powertrains, reports state that the new Kia Sorento will be offered as a plug-in hybrid powertrain along with a hybrid variant. The first one will be backed by a conventional 1.6-liter turbo petrol. As for output, this will stand at around 170 kW. However, these are just speculations, with the official details to be officially unveiled at the 2021 Geneva Motor Show, which will open its gates on March 3^rd.

Until then, you are invited to see the media gallery below with the 2021 Kia Sorento, revealing an exceptional design with a strong personality.  Enjoy and don’t forget to tell us what you think about the new model!

Tuners like Carlex Design are meant to shape out the car`s standard looks, providing exquisite updates at the exterior as well as inside or under the hood. In this case, the German tuner has turned the interior of the below McLaren 720S into something unique and high-class.

The design and the colour scheme are purely amazing, demonstrating once more the tuner`s craftsmanship when dealing with such extravagant rides.

When you enter inside, you get hit by a purple interior with different contrasts and Alcantara, which was the owner`s choice, of course. We are dealing here with maroon suede on the dashboard, part of the door cards or seats, along with purple leather, contrast stitching and white accents, all in contrast with the unique upholstery on the steering wheel. Further details are provided in the media gallery below.

As for visual upgrades, the tuner decided to add a sort of bird wing graphic with the wings ‘’mounted’’ on the doors, creating the idea of a praying bird when both doors are open. The performance hasn’t been altered as well, the supercar featuring the same 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, with 720 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque.

Thanks to the extended use of carbon fiber composites and other performance tweaks, the McLaren 720S is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 2.9 seconds, while the 0 to 200 km/h is done in just 4.6 seconds. That with a top speed of 320 km/h.

As for fuel efficiency, considering the impressive power and torque, the McLaren 720S is burning out just 10.7 liters per each 100 km on a combined circle, which is just mind-blowing. The CO2 emissions also stand at 249 g/km in the New European Driving Cycle.

Besides the standard 720S, the Spider variant also got its share of customizations from another famous tuner like Novitec. Novitec is a German tuning company also specialized in supercar customizations. The Spider received a splendid carbon fiber aero kit, part of the N-Largo package, consisting of wide front and rear bumpers, updated side skirts and a set of new wheels. Besides the aero kit that increases the supercar`s aerodynamics, the McLaren 720S Spider also received a tuning package that consistently increases performance and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.

In conclusion, it doesn’t matter if you own a saloon car or a supercar with advanced aerodynamics from the factory. There are plenty of tuning companies out there that can create the most daring projects ever seen.

Back to our post, Carlex Desing has also released a couple of photos with its latest creation. Enjoy the ride and don’t forget to tell us what you think about the tuner`s latest project! Enjoy!
