Turn Any Car Into A Limousine!

Limos give off an air of elegance, sophistication, and wealth. They are often the vehicle of choice for celebrities and special occasions. You may have thought, as most people do, that limos were strictly made as limos and that there are only specific types of these automobiles. This, however, is false. Any type of car can be transformed into a limousine; but it may cost you quite a bit of money. The steps to converting your car into a limo are outlined in this article.

The first step in this process is to strip the interior of your car. This will include the seats, flooring, seatbelts, and basically anything else that is flammable. You should also cover the remaining parts of the car with flame resistant paper. You will then need to mount the car onto an elevated rail, making sure that the front end and the back end of the car are aligned properly. It is important to remember that safety is essential and that this is a dangerous process.

Next, you will slice the car in half. I know this sounds pretty crude and sloppy but if you use laser-guided machinery, there will be no mistakes and you will be left with a clean, precise cut. After you do this, you will have two halves of your old car that is ready for stretching! Now, you must weld a base onto the front and back halves of the car. This base should extend the full length of however long you wish your new limo to be.

It is necessary to put temporary braces on the frame of your car to keep it from twisting. After the base has been added and the braces are on, you must extend the drive line from the engine to reach the rear axle. You can do this through the addition of multiple drive lines that connect in order to reach the rear axle. The original electrical components must also be extended to this new wiring through the use of connecters.

The final steps involve fixing the disjointed body of the car. Pillar posts must be installed in the location of the new doors. After this, the floor of the limo is installed. This will cover up the framework and the drive line. It is very important to reinforce the brakes, suspension, and steering of your car in order to compensate for the added mass. The exterior of the car is then added to match your taste as with the inside. Now you are free to enjoy your new personalized limousine!

Just in case you are not successful in making your car a limo, you can call our limo Charleston SC and we'll take care of you!

The New MKB CLS 63 AMG With 700 and COR Rims

One of the most sought-after performance coupes on the market is the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG. It has a stellar four-door coupe design that it first brought to the automotive marketplace in the early 2000s, and continues to stay ahead of the game with innovative styling. The sports car was also boosted by a new AMG engine that provided thrilling acceleration and performance in an everyday package. Virtually every aspect of the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is exciting and luxurious, but the team at MKB-Tuning in Germany thought that more could be done to improve the car's power and performance. The engineering team developed a host of products to increase horsepower and torque while also installing a new set of COR rims to ensure all of that power is reliably transferred to the road.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG features an all-new 5.5-liter bi-turbo engine that effectively replaces the naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 engine that was used in the previous generation model. The new engine is not only more powerful than the previous motor, but it is also more efficient in terms of both fuel economy and emissions. It also offers more potential for tuning companies such as MKB-Tuning to take advantage of and improve performance. The standard engine sends 518 bhp to each of the rear COR rims and provides superb acceleration. The team at MKB-Tuning thought that they could free up a great deal of power that was not untapped under the hood.

The first thing that the team at MKB-Tuning modified was the air intake system to allow each of the turbochargers better airflow and response. The next step was a new exhaust system that reduces backpressure for better turbocharger spool time and a more aggressive note. The final touch was an ECU software tune that ensures all of the components and modifications work together in harmony due to altered fuel injection, timing, and ignition. The result is a 5.5-liter V-8 that sends 700 horsepower and 1,000 Newton Meters of torque to each of the COR rims at the rear axle.

The team also upgraded the factory AMG wheels and tires to ensure that the additional power can reach the road. The MKB-Tuning team opted to install new COR rims with a three-piece construction to the four-door coupe in a 19 x 9.5 inch setup at the front and rear axle to create a wider footprint. New Continental SportContact tires were also installed to achieve greater amounts of grip.

The new MKB-Tuning Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG 700-horsepower upgrade program including new wheels is currently available from the German company.

DMC and the New Gallardo SOHO With COR Wheels

At the beginning of the 2000s, Lamborghini was struggling to increase sales and return to the super car world stage with a new car. The Italian automaker was able to create the Gallardo, an all-wheel drive, V-10 powered, mid-engined super car that offered great performance, better reliability, and could be a daily driver. The first-generation models have since been replaced by a newer and arguably better second-generation model in 2008, and a new, final-edition model was introduced in 2012 at the Paris Motor Show. The new models left the first-generation Gallardo looking very dated, so the team at DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited in Germany created a full carbon fiber body kit that gives the first-generation models from 2002-2008 an updated look like the current models as well as new COR Wheels and interior upgrades.

The entire exterior of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 was redesigned to feature updated aerodynamics and styling to make them look more uniform with the second- and third-generation models. The first addition to the Italian super car is a new front bumper made entirely from lightweight carbon fiber. The bumper draws air in through two larger intakes and a bigger center intake in order to cool the front brakes that sit behind the new COR Wheels. The bumper also utilizes an integrated spoiler lip to improve downforce at high speeds and reduce front-axle lift. A set of side skirts help to calm the airflow around the new set of COR Wheels and reduces drag for a slightly better top speed capability. The rear of the super car was given a new carbon fiber spoiler that sits atop the engine cover and a new diffuser insert that integrates the stock exhaust system and reduces lift at the rear axle. The final touches were a new set of updated carbon fiber side mirrors and subtle badges found throughout the body of the super car.

The next step for DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited was to remove the factory rims and tires and replace them with lighter units that matched the overall theme of the car with the updated styling kit. The team opted for new lightweight forged COR Wheels with a monoblock construction in a 9.5 x 20 setup at the front and rear axle with high-performance Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires for better grip.

The interior can also be upgraded to suit any customer's tastes. The German company offers a wide range of leather, carbon fiber, wood, and alcantara fittings that can be hand-stitched in a variety of designs.

The new SOHO body kit is designed for the first-generation 2002-2008 Lamborghini Gallardo models. Pricing for the entire kit has not been released.
