As we prepare for the German Car Festival at its new home, Goodwood Motor Circuit, here’s a little look at just a few of the best modified cars confirmed for the show.
VAD Porsche 911 LS7
As far as modified Porsches go, this might be one of the coolest builds we’ve seen in a while. Based on a 997 Carrera 4S, VAD managed to get hold of the last genuine GT3 R race kit kit Porsche used in racing and bolted it on. If that’s not enough, the team decided it needed more power, so went ahead and installed a supercharged LS7 motor. Of course it’s had a vast amount of custom work done to make it all fit, but the result is exquisite. You won’t want to miss seeing this in person, but to get a teaser of what it’s all about, check out our video with VAD and the 911 here.
Dave’s Mercedes-AMG GTS
As if this car wasn’t lairy enough, the owner has now decided to wrap the car with a new black and green livery. So if you couldn’t spot the car from the enormous wing, you can now from the livery. I joke. This thing is incredible. With a Carbonerre wide bodykit, power upgrades, a meaty soundtrack and of course, air ride, it’s a unique build that you don’t see very often.
Alex’s Mercedes 190E
Is this is not the coolest Mercedes 190E you’ve seen? As if it wasn’t gorgeous enough, under the bonnet is a top-mounted turbocharged M111 engine. So not only does it look like a murdered-out DTM racer, but it’s got the grunt, and the chassis, to act like one too. Keep an eye out for our video with this 190E very soon!
Meguiar’s Golf Mk2
If you’ve not heard of Meguiar’s then you must have been living under a rock… The detailing giants have been building some of the UK’s best modified cars over the years, and we’re proud to have documented many of those builds in print back in the mag days, and of course online and on YouTube. Tom, the man behind some of those builds, is no stranger to pushing the boundaries (check his turbocharged Volvo Amazon out here…) but with this Mk2 Golf, he decided to fuse different automotive cultures together.
Not only is it inherently VW-scene-worthy, I mean it’s bagged and has pretty wheels and a race car theme, but you’re looking at a Rocket Bunny body kit. The wing? That’s a shortened replica of Lancia Delta Integrale wing. One might even calling it a melting pot of automotive goodness. All we know is you can see it at the German Car Festival this October 5th.
Golf R engined Caddy
If you attended Gravity, then you may have spotted this little gem on our stand. And if you didn’t, well firstly come along to the German Car Festival and you will (cough cough)! Secondly, the judges at the show awarded Dan’s Golf R-engined Caddy best paint at the show. The attention to detail on this van beggars belief. We’ll be shooting a video with the car soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
