The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N already cuts a fierce silhouette, but for some owners, that isn’t quite enough. They want something with more of a track-day attitude. Hyundai is answering that call with a new suite of N Performance Parts, led by a swan-neck rear wing reminiscent of the Porsche 911 GT3.

The optional accessory package also includes a more prominent splitter, sharper side skirts, and a diffuser extension. All of the components are finished in exposed carbon, contrasting the red accents found on the lower part of the bodywork.

The larger CFRP rear wing, which can also be ordered on its own, features a double-deck design adjustable to three positions: 8°, 0°, and -8°. Depending on the angle, it produces between 265 and 305 kilograms (584–672 pounds) of downforce at 257 km/h (160 mph).

A deflector mounted beneath the car trims lift and adds another 16 kilograms (35 pounds) of downforce at top speed.

Beyond the aerodynamic pieces, the package includes 20-inch forged wheels with a 12-spoke layout, finished in either black or white. They shave 1.5 kilograms (3 pounds) from the unsprung mass compared to the standard aero wheels of the same size.

To fine-tune the exterior, owners can add a racing stripe, a Sabelt tow strap, carbon center caps, and black wheel nuts.

Inside, the upgrades extend to a steering wheel wrapped in Pasubio leather, suede armrests, carbon fiber scuff plates, and floor mats marked with N Performance branding. The company also offers Ferodo brake pads designed for both street and circuit use.

The Ioniq 6 N draws power from dual electric motors that produce a combined 641 hp (478 kW / 650 PS) and 770 Nm (568 lb-ft) of torque through the N Grin Boost function, launching it from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds. True to N division form, the EV integrates systems such as simulated gear shifts, synthesized exhaust sounds, and an N Drift Optimizer.

What’s The Cost?

Hyundai first announced these N Performance Parts in July 2025. They’re now available to order in Korea before rolling out to other international markets. According to the Korean Car Blog, the full aero package is priced at ₩11,000,000 (equal to $7,500 at current exchange rates), while the rear wing alone costs ₩4,900,000 ($3,400).

In Korea, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N starts at ₩79.9 million ($54,700). The U.S. version is expected to be priced from around $68,000 when it arrives next year.

Toyota has just unveiled the new generation of the Hilux, and while the new model has barely touched showroom floors, it’s already been reimagined to showcase just how far owners can take customization.

More: New Toyota Hilux Debuts Sumo-Inspired Looks And EV Option

During the truck’s official launch in Thailand, the brand presented a lineup of rugged, modified builds, blending genuine factory accessories with a few aftermarket touches to hint at the model’s versatility.

GR Flavor in Full Effect

The display featured no fewer than six distinct takes on the pickup, each aimed at a different type of driver. One stood out for its GR Parts catalogue treatment, equipped with a black grille, red skid plate, glossy black fender extensions, branded side steps, and black wheels wrapped in chunky off-road tires.

Accessories from Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division didn’t stop there. The brand also showcased roof and bed racks, plus the signature red mudflaps familiar to GR-badged models.

A GR Sport version of the new Hilux is expected to follow, with a tougher stance, refined performance, and chassis upgrades tailored to those seeking a sharper drive.

Interestingly, the GR Parts build wasn’t the star of the show. That honor went to an off-road-focused version developed by Australian tuner ARB, which looked ready to tackle almost anything.

It sat higher thanks to a lift kit and wore a rugged front bumper with clearance cutouts, auxiliary LEDs, a roof rack, a side awning, and a bed rack designed for specialized gear.

Overlanding Camper

Still, what caught our eye was an overlanding camper conversion of the Hilux with a tent mounted on a custom bed rack. The adventure-packed model came with a lifted suspension, all/terrain tires, beadlock wheels, rock sliders, a skid plate with integrated lights, an LED bar on the roof, and an aerodynamic snorkel.

Another rugged example took a different visual route, wearing a matte gray-and-red color scheme with a snorkel, protective hardware, raised suspension, and carbon-plated tailpipe. Mudflaps and new wheels rounded out its stance.

Unlike the European and Australian Hilux, which come exclusively in double-cab form, the Thai-market truck is available in Standard Cab and Smart Cab configurations.

The Standard Cab provided the base for a particularly practical build featuring a lift kit, black wheels, white-and-black graphics, extended mirrors, and a metal cage that expanded the load capacity of the open cargo area.

Rounding out the lineup was a sportier, road-focused Hilux finished in yellow with a carbon-textured wrap for the hood and tailgate. It sat lower on new wheels, backed by uprated brakes, though the heart remained unchanged, a 2.8-liter turbodiesel producing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS).

Depending on the market, the new Hilux range will also include mild-hybrid diesel, petrol, and fully electric options, underscoring its global versatility.

Available Accessories

Toyota Thailand’s official website lists a comprehensive range of add-ons for the new Hilux. Among them are additional plastic cladding for the doors, larger wheel arch extensions, door handle covers, a rear spoiler, stainless steel exhaust outlets, and bed liners.

Owners can also choose underbody protection and metal-look garnish for the taillights, tailgate, hood, and bumper intakes. Inside, options include heavy-duty floor mats, aluminum scuff plates, and clever storage solutions.

Thailand has a prominent tuning culture, which is why most automakers advertise the customization capabilities of their trucks. Judging from the aforementioned builds and the popularity of the Hilux, we expect to see a lot of interesting conversions in the future.

Despite rising import tariffs, Chinese automakers continue to flood Europe with an army of electrified models. Leapmotor, partly owned by Stellantis, has now gone a step further by teaming up with German tuner Irmscher for a special edition of its C10 electric SUV

The model, known as the i C10, was first teased a few months ago by Irmscher. It has now joined Leapmotor’s official German lineup as a limited run of just 250 units.

Irmscher has built its reputation on refining Opel models and occasionally dipping into Fiat territory, which explains its connection with Stellantis.

According to the announcement, the i C10 marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between Irmscher and Leapmotor, suggesting that similar treatments could soon reach other models in the brand’s range.

The sporty version of the midsize SUV rides on a new set of five-spoke alloys, looking larger than the 20-inch wheels of the high-spec variant. The exterior appears to be carried over without a bodykit, although there is a more prominent rear spoiler.

The tuner has also added a red stripe on the profile, along with matching accents on the front splitter and center caps. Furthermore, there is “i C10” badging on the tailgate right under the Leapmotor lettering.

Under The Skin

Beyond the visual upgrades, Irmscher has fitted a firmer suspension setup designed to sharpen handling. This is the only mechanical alteration, as the dual-motor powertrain remains unchanged.

Fortunately, the i C10 is based on the most potent dual-motor AWD version of the SUV, producing a combined 590 hp (440 kW / 598 PS). The result is a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 4 seconds, according to Leapmotor.

The AWD model carries an 81.9 kWh battery providing a range of 437 km (272 miles). The same battery extends to 510 km (317 miles) in the RWD variant, which uses a single 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) motor.

Leapmotor continues to offer the standard C10 with RWD and a smaller 69.9 kWh battery allowing 420 km (261 miles) of range. Finally, there is a range-extender version of the SUV with a 1.5-liter engine, a 212 hp (158 kW / 215 PS) electric motor, and a 28.4 kWh battery promising over 950 km (590 miles) of combined range.

What It Costs

In Germany, the Leapmotor i C10 by Irmscher starts at €49,900 ($58,200). That’s €5,000 ($5,800) more than the flagship C10 ProMax AWD, which lists at €44,900 ($52,400). For reference, the entry-level RWD model with the smaller battery begins at €36,400 ($42,400)

In a sign of the times, Heico Sportiv, the German tuner long aligned with Volvo, has broadened its horizons to another brand under the Geely umbrella. The company now offers bespoke upgrades for China’s Lynk & Co range in Europe, including the 01, 02, and 08 SUVs.

What caught our attention is the Lynk & Co 02, a sharp-looking small SUV with an electric powertrain that was introduced in 2024. Heico Sportiv has fitted it with 21-inch Volution alloy wheels featuring a ten-spoke layout. These sit an inch above the factory’s top-spec option and can be ordered in gloss black, matt titanium, or matte gold bronze, each available in regular or diamond-cut finishes.

The new rims are paired with sport springs, bringing the model closer to the ground by 35 mm (1.4-inch). The more aggressive stance is accentuated by subtle aero components focused on the lower part of the bodywork.

The kit includes a front splitter, side skirts, and a rear bumper extension, all featuring a body-colored finish contrasting with the glossy black surfaces of the EV. The tuner didn’t add a rear spoiler, leaving the coupe-style roofline and protruding full-width LED taillights intact.

The Lynk & Co 02 is mechanically related to the Volvo EX30 and the Zeekr X. It rides on Geely’s SEA platform featuring a rear-mounted electric motor with 268 hp (200 kW / 272 PS) and a 66 kWh battery pack. Heico Sportiv doesn’t offer any performance upgrades, which means that the EV still does the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 5.5 seconds, and has a limited top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h).

The tuner said that its products will be offered through Lynk & Co’s European distribution network, ensuring full warranty coverage.

Pricing

The 21-inch wheels cost between €2,400-3,560 ($2,800-4,100) a set depending on the chosen finish. The sport springs will set you back €390 ($450) and the spacers add another €335 ($390). The company has yet to announce prices for the aero components but offers branded velour floor mats for €185 ($215).

The modified Lynk & Co will make its public premiere at the Auto Zurich show in Switzerland on October 30. In the same venue, Heico Sportiv will also exhibit a Volvo XC60 T8 with a bodykit, a lowered suspension, a sports exhaust, an upgraded engine, beefier brakes and 22-inch wheels, plus a Polestar 4 with the same set of wheels and an Aubergine Bronze wrap.

Furthermore, the company shared photos of a modified Lynk & Co 01 in EV and PHEV forms with similar styling and chassis upgrades. The available accessories for the larger Lynk & Co 08 PHEV will be announced on a later date.

The latest generation of the Nissan Leaf has arrived in Japan, marking its official launch in the brand’s home market after making its first appearance in North America earlier this year.

The all-electric fastback crossover retains much of its global character but introduces a few domestic-market distinctions, including an Autech edition that leans more toward a sportier, higher-end feel, within the practical and monetary constraints of the category.

At 4,360 mm (171.7 inches) long, the Japanese Leaf is 44 mm (1.7 inches) shorter than the version sold in the United States. Like its European counterpart, it omits amber indicators, while the rest of the design remains the same. Only the range-topping model gets the distinctive Z-inspired LED taillights, which lend a sharper look to the rear end

Inside, the Japanese Leaf comes equipped with twin 12.3-inch displays, though it skips the larger 14.3-inch setup offered elsewhere. What it lacks in screen size, it makes up for in equipment, featuring an optional dimming panoramic glass roof, a 10-speaker Bose Plus Sound System, and V2H (Vehicle to Home) capability.

Autech Adds Visual Drama

Nissan’s in-house Autech division has given the Leaf a sportier presence. The bespoke bodykit introduces a prominent splitter with aluminum accents that continue across the side inserts, mirror caps, and rear skirt. A black grille, blue daytime running lights, unique bumper detailing, and Autech badging round out the looks.

The Leaf Autech also sits on exclusive 19-inch aluminum wheels and can be specified in Deep Ocean Blue paired with a Super Black roof. Buyers can also choose from Prism White with Super Black or a full Midnight Black finish.

As with most Autech models, the dark-themed interior is more premium than the standard Leaf. It stands out thanks to the black upholstery with blue stitching and piping. It also comes with a unique pattern and Autech embroidery on the seats, special seatbelts, and branded floor mats.

Even without the larger dual-screen cockpit seen in other markets, equipment levels remain generous, including cold-weather amenities such as heated rear seats.

Specifications And Range

At launch, the Japanese Leaf is available exclusively in B7 form, offered in two trims, X and G. Power comes from a single electric motor producing 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and 355 Nm (261.8 lb-ft) of torque, sent to the front wheels. The Autech variant shares this setup, meaning there are no added performance or chassis tweaks beyond its sharper styling.

The 78 kWh battery promises an impressive 702 km (436 miles) of range under the WLTC cycle, which tends to be more optimistic than Europe’s WLTP (604 km / 375 miles) and America’s EPA estimate (488 km / 303 miles).

An entry-level B5 model, with a smaller battery and less power, will join the range later, along with a corresponding Autech version for those wanting the look without the higher spec.

Pricing

Pricing for the Japanese-market Leaf starts at ¥5,188,700 (around $34,000) for the B7 X trim, rising to ¥5,999,400 ($39,300) for the top-spec B7 G. The Autech commands a higher entry price at ¥6,513,100 ($42,700), with optional extras pushing it higher still. Deliveries across Japan are expected to begin in early 2026.

In the United States, pricing remains more accessible, with the entry-level S starting at $25,360 and the Platinum+ topping out at $38,990.
