Today's blog update will feature the modified cars from the goodwood festival of speed 2012.

There were various tuners and modified vehicles on show and I must say the standard was very high of these cars.

Brabus sls 700

There was afew brabus cars on display ones of note were the Brabus sls 700. Having driven an sls convertible the last thing that came into my head is, this could do with more power and twin turbo's :) but clearly brabus felt the need. The conversion to biturbo costs 79.900,00 euros and put power up to 700bhp and gives 627lb ft of torque. To have brabus purchase the car (with options) and convert it into the car seen today comes in at £328,643,38 pretty hefty price but at least it's a pretty full on conversion inc interior.

Performance figures for the sls 700:
0-60mph:3.7s
0-120mph:10.2s
Vmax:213mph





Brabus 800 e v12 cabriolet.

This stunning brabus e class cabriolet, obviously being brabus it is no ordinary e class, this one has a v12 dropped in up front and if that wasn't fast enough they bi turbo it. 800bhp and 1047lb ft of torque although it's electronically limited to 811lb ft. No suprise is the fact it runs a reinforced gearbox with 5 gears (rare in this current day and age) the performance figures for this car are truly staggering:

0-60:3.7s
0-120:9.9s
0-180:23.9
Vmax:230 mph




Bespoke


The bespoke stand was certainly eye grabbing, partly down to the blue range rover visible from miles away and secondly down to the rather menacing looking cars on display. The bespoke cars are beautifully done with a great factory finish on all upgrades and the interior work is stunning.

Some of the cars bespoke had on display









Litchfield

Litchfield were on the michelin stand and had there stunning lm900 gtr on display. This car is a great sleeper, the matt silver wrap very discreet and nothing outlandish but a real classy looking car. The wheels filled the arches nicely and the alcon brakes looked great and would provide much needed extra stopping power especially when your gtr is packing a 900bhp punch. A real thumbs up for litchfield for this car, beautifully done, it almost passes for standard.







Overfinch

Overfinch had some lovely work on display, they have such a high standard of work and really pull off the oem+ look.
