DMC has turned the DBX into an 800hp Super SUV. The result is dubbed the Aston Martin DBX Fuerte. Although DMC isn't renowned for tuning Astons (the tuner recently worked its magic on the Ferrari Roma), it also built a Fuerte version of the DBS in the past. — Car Buzz ImageImageImageImage
Instead of designing a widebody kit, DMC has taken a more subtle approach that retains the SUV's slick design. At the front are bespoke aero-enhancing front bumper attachments made of carbon fiber available with a glossy or matte finish. ImageImage
In addition, DMC has upgraded the DBX with a new trunk wing and a roof spoiler that improve downforce and make the SUV look more aggressive without going too over the top. ImageImage
The German tuner also designed a custom rear diffuser that hints at the extra power under the hood. Completing the changes on the outside are a set of sporty-looking 24-inch wheels wrapped in 295/30R24 tires at the front and 355/25R24 tires at the rear. Image
By installing a larger turbo loader, a sport filter, and a sport exhaust system, DMC has extracted 796hp and 1,000Nm of torque, up from 542hp and 700Nm in the regular DBX. Image
With all that extra grunt, DMC's DBX will do the 0-100kph dash in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 327kph. For comparison, the standard DBX will do the same sprint in 4.5 seconds and max out at 291kph.

The "sustainable sneaker" from Asics retails for $128. Asics collaborated with Japanese company Toyoda Gosei to find a better use for left-over airbag fabric from the manufacturing process that would normally be thrown away.
According to the company, the material is strong, flexible, and highly durable, making it a great fit for the upper part of the shoe.
The new model called “Asics Gel-Sonoma 15-50” is a cross-country variant of the Gel-Sonoma trail running shoes. The designers retained the red stitching and numbering that is found in all airbags manufactured by Toyoda Gosei.

The VW Passat was discontinued from North America last year, but European buyers will be blessed with an all-new generation of the popular nameplate, set to debut before the end of 2023. — This thread contains illustrations that are neither related to nor endorsed by VW...
SUVs have pretty much conquered the D-Segment in Europe forcing most automakers to discontinue their medium-sized sedans. However, Volkswagen thinks there is still space for a new Passat in the Old Continent before it becomes an EV-only brand.
The VW Group will lower the R&D costs by jointly developing the next generations of the VW Passat and the Skoda Superb. The former will only come in the more practical Variant bodystyle, unlike the latter which will retain its Sedan and Combi flavors.
