A VW enthusiast in the US has managed to register a Scirocco, which was never sold in the country, with the help of a Mark 5 VW R32. The car has been modified with aftermarket parts, including HPA Motorsports’ FT565 Twin Turbo Kit, which has boosted the 3.2-litre VR6 engine to 565 horsepower. The car also features a Rieger body kit and exhaust, KW V3 coilovers, and BBS wheels. The owner has spent mid-$100,000s on the car, which he says is worth it for a VW nut like him.

The asking price is $17,999, but it remains to be seen if the non-factory modifications and age make it worth it.

Aftermarket specialist eXoMod Concepts has created a complete carbon-fiber widebody kit for the Challenger SRT Hellcat, making the modern muscle car look like the 1968 Charger. The new body is four inches wider than the original Charger, but the carbon fiber reduces the overall weight, cutting 400 pounds from the vehicle. The vehicle has a custom engine compartment, upgraded brakes, and custom-built 20-inch Forgeline wheels. Currently, only one carbon-fiber Challenger exists, but you can get yours for $345,000.
