POLICE’S TOUGH RIDE

The Dubai Police is adding another exotic vehicle to its stable. This Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar–a tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG–has debuted at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show in police livery. With 536 horsepow…er, the G63’s 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 is already pretty potent. However, Brabus fiddled with it and was able to extract an otherworldly 700 horses. With that extra power, Brabus says the B63-S 700 Widestar will do 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 149 mph–perfect for pursuit work. Wish we have the same fleet here.

“ASTIG” HYBRID… FROM HONDA?

Despite having a huge aftermarket following, Honda has been absent in the world of manufacturer-approved performance parts. Well, that’s about to change with the Honda Performance Development (HPD). Its first project: the CR-Z hybrid. Owners of manual-transmission CR-Zs can now have Honda install a 200,000 rpm Rotrex centrifugal traction-drive supercharger mated to a Griffiths air-to-air intercooler. A respectable 57-horsepower increase is expected, bringing total horsepower to 187 ponies, while fuel consumption remains at 42 mpg. Other modifications to the CR-Z includes a performance exhaust, suspension upgrades, a wheel and tire package, and a big brake kit. Not bad for a hybrid, at all.

WOULD YOU BUY A DRINK THAT COSTS P8,000?

The bar at the Langham Place hotel in New York City is serving a $176 cocktail. Before you open your mouth to protest, read this: the drink, known as the Quattroporte, comes with a luxury ride. If you order the drink, a Maserati Quattroporte—which travels up to 176 miles per hour—will take you anywhere that you want to go in Manhattan. To arrange the Quattroporte experience, you have to order it 24 hours in advance, and it will only be available in November.

SEMA UPDATE

For the second year in a row, the Ford Mustang has been voted the “Hottest Car” at SEMA. It once again edged out its Chevrolet Camaro arch rival, which was deemed the winner in 2011 and 2010. The annual award, dubbed the SEMA A…ward, recognizes the most accessory-friendly vehicle based on the volume of aftermarket parts exhibited for it. The winning vehicle is judged according to the number of customized versions on display, and the volume of parts and accessories fitted to the cars.
