This Cayenne Proves Some Ideas Really Should Stay On Paper

  • Larte Design unveils a Cayenne kit crafted entirely from pink carbon.
  • The package offers eleven custom exterior pieces for Porsche owners.
  • Upgrades include bumpers, arches, hood vents, side skirts, and wheels.

The aftermarket world has always thrived on boundary pushing aesthetics. Sometimes that spirit produces inspired upgrades. Other times it delivers something that feels better left as a digital sketch. The latest creation from Larte Design falls squarely into the latter camp, showing that just because you can overhaul a vehicle like the Porsche Cayenne, that doesn’t mean you should.

Larte’s new kit for the Cayenne is quite unlike any other we’ve seen in the past. It includes a range of pre-preg carbon fiber accessories that can be added to the Porsche’s body. Instead of a traditional black finished carbon fiber, the tuner has chosen to make it bright pink. It may find favor with Paris Hilton, but it is hard to picture a broader audience lining up.

The parts begin at the front end with a new splitter that can be easily added to the original bumper. Larte has then crafted pink carbon fiber add-ons that surround the front air intakes and a panel beneath the black grille.

Moving further back, the Cayenne adopts a 911 inspired hood complete with custom air vents, two of them finished in the same pink carbon. The theme continues along the flanks, where pronounced pink carbon wheel arches and side skirts reshape the SUV’s profile. White wheels sit at each corner, accented with – what else – pink details.

It’s perhaps the rear of the Larte’s latest project that’s the most dramatic. The tuner has crafted an all-new diffuser for the Cayenne from pink carbon. It’s also added new blacked-out tailpipes and a small pink lip spoiler on the decklid.

According to the tuner, the carbon fiber parts have been designed not to interfere with any of Porsche’s safety features, including its parking sensors, although we don’t yet know how much the kit will cost.

This German 911 Looks Straight Out Of 1973 But It’s Hiding A Big Secret

Image
Ruehle’s F97 puts a modern 997 twist on the backdated 911 formula. The 2005-based F97 looks like a ’73 RSR but runs a water-cooled heart. All-steel US-legal builds start at $400K, undercutting Singer’s prices. Sometimes it feels like you’ve seen so many G-series 911 and 964 restomods that there must only be about three standard cars left in the world, which is why the backdated 911 you see here really caught our attention. Because this one isn’t based on a 1980s or ’90s Porsche at all. It starts with a newer model that’s quietly slipped from the spotlight, despite being one of the most balanced 911s ever made.

Only 69 Of These 10.4-Liter V8 Camaros Exist And They’re Just As Naughty As That Sounds

Image
The 2023 COPO Camaro delivers 1,004 hp from a 10.4-liter V8. This beast can sprint down the quarter-mile in under 8 seconds. When it was new, these cars set back owners around $130,000. When you think of modern performance cars with truly colossal engines, your mind probably drifts toward the Dodge Viper with its 8.4-liter V10 or the Bugatti Chiron and its 8.0-liter W16. Yet not long ago, Chevrolet quietly built a limited run of Camaros whose engines made even those giants look restrained. More: This Forgotten 1,000-Mile Oldsmobile V8 Sedan Took On Lexus And Lost The car in question is the 2023 COPO Camaro , of which just 69 examples were produced. These models were available with a choice of three V8s: a 427 cubic-inch (6.9-liter) V8, a supercharged 350 cubic-inch (5.7-liter), and a monstrous 632 cubic-inch V8, which translates to 10.4 liters. In January, Mecum Auctions will be selling one of the COPO models equipped with this flagship engine. How Big Is Too Big...

Stellantis Wants To Rebrand Chinese EVs For Europe

Image
Opel may rebadge the Leapmotor B10 for Europe by 2026. Production could begin at Stellantis’ Zaragoza plant in Spain. Local output could help avoid steep EU tariffs on Chinese EVs. Stellantis could soon find itself stepping into unfamiliar territory, as it is reportedly exploring the idea of adding Chinese-built models to its European lineup under familiar badges. According to insider sources, Opel is eyeing the electric Leapmotor B10 as its first possible contender. German outlet Automobilwoche reports that the Chinese SUV might wear Opel badges as early as next year. Leapmotor, a Chinese EV manufacturer partly owned by Stellantis, has been steadily expanding its footprint both at home and abroad.
