The German tuning-house Brabus has worked their magic on an airplane, on a Bombardier Global Express XRS to be more specific.
The company wants to expand their range of business and took a step forward in the aviation world.
They offer two special packages to make your jet a bit more luxurious, Elegance & Sportive.
The Elegance features cream colored leather seats, Alcantara upholstery and a top quality wood trim.
The Sportive version has black/gray leather seats, Alcantara upholstery and a carbon fiber trim.
Both packages will have the option to equip them with a high-tech entertainment system that includes iPads and massive flat-screen televisions.
To start off the company will work on 3 models from Bombardier, the Global Express, the Challenger and the Dassault Falcon.
Of course on request they can customize every plane you want, but expect a personal price-tag too!

The carmaker has unveiled its racer before its official debut at the upcoming Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The racer features a tube-chassis and an aerodynamic design-kit which includes a massive rear spoiler.
Under the hood is a 35kWh battery which supplies power for 3 electric motors that have a combined output of 326hp and power goes to all four wheels.
The driver of this super EV will be Hiroshi Masuoka, a previous Dakar Rally champion.

It's been 60 years since Stirling Moss and Norman Dewis tackled the Mille Migla in an C-Type jaguar fitted with a prototype disc-brake system and now they meet again.
Driving another Jaguar C-Type the guys rewrite history by starting of this year's event with a parade lap around Brescia.
Recalling the 1952 race, Moss said;

"The disc-brakes were incredible.
Whereas the Ferrari and Mercedes could all brake once pretty well and then overheat, the Jaguar could repeatedly stop later and faster over and over again, and the Mille Miglia was the ultimate real world test.
It was a joint idea between the team - where could we go, on the road, at racing speeds over a thousand miles - and we said if it can do this, then we will have a production brake that we can make available."

This weekend the "green hell" otherwise known as Nurnburgring was the stage of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
We have shared a live-steam link so you were able to see some of the spectacle, if you missed it sorry for you :(
Anyway James Glickenhaus`s Ferrari P4/5 Competizione a car based on the Ferrari F430 Scuderia and added with a KERS-system puts out 563HP.
What is more interesting is that this by now is the fastest Ferrari around the ring!!
During the qualifying round, the supercar lapped the famous Nurburgring in just 6:51, by doing so it smashed the previous record of 6:58.16 held by the Ferrari 599XX.
Glickenhaus response to the superlap was: "I think it’s pretty cool!"
And immdediatly invited Ferrari to come and challenge their supercar.
One would have to note that when the 599XX did it there was no traffic and they didn't have to keep driving on the same rubber.
The car also wasn't running restricted or with extra weight, something the P4/5 all had so imagine that!
We congratulate Glickenhaus with its performance in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and overall they became 12th.
And if you want to experience how it looks like we have a onboard video for you.
