You Can Have Your Ford Mustang Completely Rebodied In Real Carbon Fiber

The Ford Mustang has slowly and subtly grown from an everyday pony car to a real powerhouse with upper trim levels that develop more than 750 hp (559 kW). Despite that, it’s never really garnered the same type of reverence that other high-end sports cars enjoy. Now, one company has decided to rectify that situation by offering a service where it replaces the stock body with real carbon fiber.

That company is Asira Designs out of Arizona and it specializes in high-end customization to a degree we’ve never seen on the original pony car. What you see here isn’t a front clip of carbon fiber pieces and a wrap on the rear half. It’s all real carbon fiber and the Asira Mustang saves more than 200 pounds off of the original car because of the swap.

If all a buyer wants is the body swap it’ll cost them $43,000, but that includes a paint job and exposed carbon fiber accents. Those who want a naked carbon fiber finish will need to spend another $15,000. That’s a lot but it includes a center-line V-twill weave matched from the exterior to the interior. It’s also finished with a custom color tint and a clear coat for protection.

The firm also offers a comprehensive performance upgrade menu. Buyers can add a supercharger kit that’ll support up to 850 hp, a one-piece carbon fiber driveshaft, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Cup 2 tires. Brembo brakes and a complete menu of suspension upgrades are available too.

Weight weenies can get their kicks by adding racing wheels, a rear-seat delete kit, racing seats, and a custom exhaust. Altogether, that combo pulls over 100 pounds more out of the already lighter-than-stock car.

The interior isn’t left without attention either. Asira can equip your Mustang with an exposed carbon fiber interior package that includes trim throughout the cabin. It’ll also add quilted leather upholstery, a 10.2-inch infotainment system, and a custom carbon fiber steering wheel with leather inserts should a customer ask for them.

Add up all of these modifications and customizations and we’re talking about roughly six figures in modifications on top of the cost of the donor Mustang. Compare that to just about any other supercar with 850 hp and all of the bespoke work done here and it actually sounds like a deal.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
