The last Wheelsandmore job we looked at was actually a McLaren Mercedes, an SLR 722 in fact, but now the tuners have come forth with a project that targets the brand new McLaren, the MP4-12C supercar. The kit they came up with is called ‘Toxique Evil” and what they’ve done to the engine is pretty impressive.
With the help of a new exhaust system and some remapped electronics, the 3.8-liter V8 was boosted to 666 hp, the diabolical output that the customer wanted. But Wheelsandmore is set to wow us with even more power, as they are preparing an intercooler upgrade that could increase the engine's performance to 800 hp.

The McLaren supercar has been lowered to the ground by 25 mm (about an inch), thanks to a PPC complex electronic hydraulic suspension system. The factory wheels have also been replaced with 6Sporz ultralight-forged wheels fitted with Continental Sport Contact 5P tires.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
