Italian tuner recasts the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG as the WhiteStorm

Italian tuner Romeo Ferraris has churned out a more aggressive version of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG--the WhiteStorm. Romeo Ferraris mainly tunes Italian rides, like the one wrapped up in its moniker. The house is also known for working with Fiat 500s and Frankensteining carbon-fiber Chevrolet Corvettes and tricked-out Land Rovers.

Ford reveals S-Max concept ahead of 2013 Frankfurt motor show

Here's another one that'll probably go straight into the “not bound for United States shores” file: the Ford S-Max concept, which will make its grand debut at the 2013 Frankfurt motor show. Ford says the S-Max previews a “future sport activity vehicle,” which may, in fact, be contemporary PR-speak for “mini-minivan.” Look beyond the carbon-fiber interior detailing (and add some door handles) and you'll see a vehicle that looks more or less production-ready. The S-Max concept isn't too wildly sculpted, sharing styling cues with current Fords (including the Fiesta, Escape/Kuga, C-Max and Fusion/Mondeo) -- from the creases on the hood to the high, hexagonal grille to the stainless steel trim surrounding the greenhouse.
