German tuners Reifen Koch make a stock Mustang GT even more aggressive. The mod adds a new fascia, sills and tail, Brembo brakes, side exhaust, suspension upgrades, and a hydraulic axle lift kit.

All about Pagani’s latest car. It’s worth watching just to hear how “Huayra” is actually pronounced. How hilarious would it be if low-end cars like the Smart Fortwo had pompous making-of videos?
