Berlin-based styling specialist, TC Concepts, has released a few photos of its new Audi R8 ‘Toxique’ body kit.
TC Concepts has yet to provide any details of the conversion, so we’ll just comment on what we see. The front bumper features massive intakes reminiscent of the TT RS’s, while down the flanks the sideblades have been blended into the car’s bodyshell, resulting in a much smoother, continuous appearance, similar to the R8 Spyder. The car has been lowered significantly and sits on massive tires with rubber so thin it looks like a strip of paint.

The new Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG stands for efficiency and performance, exclusivity and a superlative driving experience. Running on 11.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined, 276 g CO2/km), the high-performance SUV undercuts its predecessor by 4.7 litres, or 28 percent. The basis for low fuel consumption and top-class performance is provided by the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with a maximum power output of 386 kW (525 hp) and maximum torque of 700 Newton metres, representing an increase of 11 kW (15 hp) and 70 Newton metres. The optionally available AMG Performance package boosts the V8 engine’s power output to 410 kW (557 hp) and its maximum torque to 760 Newton metres. The newly developed ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM for active roll stabilisation, the AMG-specific design and the broad scope of standard equipment and appointments provide for a highly attractive overall package.
