ISS Forged Shows Off New Rims

Usually we don’t run promo pieces (at least, not without proper compensation) but when we saw these pics of ISS Forged‘s new rims, we had to share them. The first, a brand new 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS lowered and sitting on ISS’ F1-15GT rims made us drool. Then we saw the Cayman… Now, we [...]

The 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe certainly makes sufficient power, but having enough or even a lot of power has never discouraged tuners from looking for more. And to that end, AC Schnitzer has now bumped the M6 Gran Coupe’s output to an impressive 665 horsepower and 652 lb.ft of torque. This represents an increase of 105 hp and 152 [...]

Musk quickly outlined his vision for the nascent technology [...]

Triple Smoke

Here at MBWorld we don’t share too many burnout videos because, let’s be honest, they’re a bit unbecoming. However, when somebody goes to the trouble of conducting a burnout hat-trick (smoking the tires, engine, and a cigarette) we feel compelled to recognize that individual.

G-Wagen Car Wash

There are many ways to wash your car: you could do it yourself in the driveway, run it through your local carwash or take it to a full service detailer. This Polish G-wagen owner chooses what must be the quickest, however. And while we don’t recommend trying this with your SLS (not without a modified [...]
