Picture of the Day: Mustang Mach Forty By Larry Chen

Photo credits: Larry Chen

It was unveiled at last year's SEMA Show and we're happy it came back this year. The Mustang Mach 40 by Oregon based Eckert’s Rod Shop is powered by a supercharged version of the 5.4-liter V8 coming from the GT40 that now produces 850 Hp. This particular shot was taken at The Optima Street Car Challenge event by Larry Chen for the Speedhunters and we think it deserves to be the picture of the day.

Lamborghini Aventador by Misha Designs


Misha Designs, known for its outrageous body kits for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche models, recently unveiled its body kit for the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4.

To complete the look, the Italian beauty rides on bespoke wheels with orange trim to match the color of the car.

Keep in mind that the vehicle could not be finalized in time for the SEMA show, so it still lacks some elements like the rear diffuser. Between this and DMC body kit, which one do you prefer? Here are more pictures to help you make a choice.
