Range Rover Noreia by FAB Design

FAB Design has taken the wraps off their new Range Rover Noreia. Based on the Range Rover Vogue, the Noreia has been equipped with a wide body kit that includes modified bumpers, revised side skirts and extended wheel arches. The model also has carbon fiber trim, an electronic lowering module - that reduces the ride height by 40mm - and 23-inch aluminum wheels.

To spruce up the cabin designers added premium leather upholstery, Alcantara trim and alloy pedals.  There's also a custom-wrapped dashboard and carbon fiber trim.

For added performance, the company installed an optimized ECU and a sports air filter. Thanks to these modifications the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 develops 540 HP (397 kW) and 670 Nm (494 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 30 HP (22 kW) and 45 Nm (33 lb-ft).

Porsche Cayenne Emperor II by FAB Design

FAB Design has released a follow-up to its Emperor kit for the Porsche Cayenne bringing styling changes and engine tweaks. This new program comes after yesterday's MP4-12C Spider Terso program.

The wide body kit includes a front spoiler with large cooling air intakes, along with two ventilation ducts on the carbon fiber hood. The wings and side skirts are now wider, while the carbon rear spoiler has a built-in diffuser with enough room for the custom exhaust system featuring four trapeze end pipes. Optionally available are carbon fiber mirrors, diffuser and front lip spoiler which can be body-colored. The entire styling package costs 16,490 EUR plus shipping.

In terms of power upgrades, the V8 engine of the Cayenne S Diesel can get a 48 HP (35 kW) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) boost, helping the high-performance SUV to reach a top speed of 257 km/h (157 mph) and slash the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time to 5.4 seconds. The additional horsepower was possible by installing a sports exhaust system, air filter and remapping the ECU.

A new wheel set consisting of 10x22 and 12x22 (front/rear) is available, with Dunlop Sport Maxx 265/35 ZR22 front and 305/30 ZR22 rear tires.

McLaren MP4-12C Spider Terso by FAB Design

FAB Design has applied its Terso body kit to the McLaren MP4-12C Spider, following last year's coupe version. The car seen in these photos was unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon showcasing a body kit featuring bigger air intakes, updated side air intakes, side skirts, diffuser and rear bumper. It has a new rear spoiler which is installed over the top of the stock unit. There's also a front splitter mounted below the windscreen, just like in the coupe. It sits on 20-inch FAB-Design Evolution forged wheels covered by Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires. Other changes include a proprietary stainless steel sports exhaust system and a three-chamber carbon tail pipe which have increased the output from 616 hp (460 kW) to 680 hp (507 kW). Most likely, other hardware changes (like an ECU upgrade) were necessary to reach this output.

Thanks to these tweaks, the McLaren MP4-12C Spider Terso reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in three seconds and can hit a top speed of 213 mph (343 km/h). FAB Design said they plan on making only 10 units.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe Convertible by FAB Design

 Swiss tuner FAB Design has taken on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class for the first time with a styling kit that is neither offensive or bland. Known for their flambuoyant designs, the E-Class Coupe Convertible seems to be somewhat sedate compared to other FAB projects, but still has the FAB Design traits we have all come to love/hate/ignore over the years. The wide body look is mandatory for all FAB designs and the E-Class CC is no exception. In the body we can see the extended fenders and quarter panels which are bridged by the side skirts reaching closer to the ground. Naturally, it wouldn't be a FAB Design without the obligatory large vents in the fenders. FAB has given the E-Class CC a new face with a completely restyled front bumper fascia with LED daylight running lights and exposed carbon fiber sections. The rear bumper fascia receives a new look also, although a bit more subtle. It features vertical vent acccents in the corners and has an integrated lower diffuser. The rear is capped off with a carbin fiber boot spoiler which is extendable. Wheels are forged 3-piece 9 and 10 x 20 inchers with a deep dish effect. A sports suspension is added in addition to a custom FAB stainless steel sports exhaust with two oval endpipes. The exhaust system can be equipped with sound control for either loud or quiet settings.

Mercedes SLS AMG widebody by FAB Design

Fab Design first showed us their Mercedes SLS AMG body styling kit back in October. Now some fans have tipped us off to an example sitting in the Al-ain Class Motors showroom in Dubai. But this SLS kit isn't the same as the first design. This one is a wide body version.

The fenders have been completely resculpted and the sides skirts and quarter panels are one seemless panel that fit over the existing panels. At the rear, the redesigned bumper fascia meets up precisely with the widened quarter panels giving the tailamps a sunken look.

We've received no details on any performance modifications under the hood, but we do know that Fab offers a sport exhaust system which helps increase output from 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (449 kW / 603 hp). Additionally, a sport suspension can be fitted.

There's no denying that Fab designs aren't for everyone, but one thing for certain is that they provoke a strong response, and just for that reason alone they get our nod of approval.
