Tuners are leaving no stones unturned to impress buyers willing to dig deep into their pockets. Even the almighty Porsche 911 GT3 can’t escape from their meddling hands. This here creation is named ‘Snowmobile’ for the choice of colors for the exterior and interior, and is the creative work of German audio-specialist Magnat.The 911 GT3’s white finish is contrasted by the matte black trim and patterned stripes running on the right hand-side over the top as well as the car’s profile. A set of Ultraleggera HLT CT by OZ 19-inch alloy wheels in a matching black color shod in Yokohama Advan Sport tries size 235/35-19 at the front and 305/30-19 at the rear completes the look.
Moving on to the interior, Magnat re-upholstered the 911 GT3’s cabin using a mix of black Alcantara and leather materials with white colored stitching and trim accents. The highlight is of course Magnat’s own audio system that provides 2,100 watts of sound power.
Speaking about power, the tuned 911 GT3 also features an ECU upgrade along with a racing exhaust system from Wimmer that help push output to 462HP and 451Nm of peak torque for a top speed of 317km/h (197mph).

Like its predecessor, the Porsche Carrera GT, the upcoming 918 Spyder is an exotic supercar that enthusiasts are waiting for with much anticipation, especially now that its main competitors, the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1, have already been revealed. Seeing a 918 Spyder on the street is a very rare event, as the car will premiere this autumn at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

However, for Milanese drivers and pedestrians who happened to be at the right place at the right time, the 918 Spyder that cruised the streets of the fashion capital of the world was a treat they won’t forget soon.

As the car is in its final stages of development, Porsche didn’t even bother with camo and let it loose in Milan’s traffic wearing nothing but a race-inspired Martini design outfit. We have to admit that, for a car that packs 784 horsepower, the 918 Spyder seems pretty well-mannered and easy to drive in the city (except for curbs…).

But don't be fooled by appearances: when the road is clear, it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3 seconds flat and continue accelerating up to 325 km/h (202 mph). Thanks to its hybrid technology, it is able to average a mind-boggling 3 liters/100 km (78.4 mpg US /94.2mpg UK) when using both power-sources (batteries and gasoline), less than most superminis on sale today.

In the United States, the 918 Spyder will be priced from $845,000 (€670,000). It's definitely cheaper to watch it rolling on the streets of Milan in the video below.
