Status Design Lamborghini MurciĆ©lago is an Alligator’s Tangerine Nightmare...


Russian tuners have a history of making unique if not tasteful supercar tuning kits. Using little more than carbon fibre, orange paint and one unlucky alligator, Moscow-based tuning outfit Status Design has taken on the Lamborghini MurciƩlago and boy do they not disappoint.

Featuring an (ill-fitting) hood / bonnet, door sills and rear spoiler from BF-Performance, Status Design also added a new front bumper, "headlight lashes", mirrors, side mouldings and engine cover – all carbon fibre.

Status also added a custom rear bumper, sports exhaust and black matte wheels with orange detailing to round off the exterior package.

Things only get better inside, with orange alligator leather (oh yes) and orange carbon fibre mouldings on the center stack, glove-box lid and instrument binnacle.

Status also throws in a McIntosh head unit with Helix speakers and condenser, a boot-mounted subwoofer and Audison amplifier because, let's face it, if you're driving down the street in one of these, you want people to hear you as well as see you.

No word on pricing (of course), though it's probably one of those, "If you have to ask…" things anyways.

The legendary F-16 Falcon fighter jet is synonymous with lightweight and innovative design, not to mention ammunition that can level a small city. Russian tuner Status Design has recently unveiled a tuning kit for the BMW X6 that follows the plane’s philosophy.

Given the designation SD F 16, the package comprises of a body kit that includes a front bumper, back bumper with carbon fibre diffuser, two-tone design with black roof, CF mirrors, window mouldings, back spoiler, front grille and 22-inch Hartge wheels.

The F-16 Falcon was originally designed as a day time fighter, but Status Design’s “F 16″ will have no problems with darkness thanks to LED angel eyes, a strip of LED driving lamps and Hella fog lamps that turn with the steering. It’s all meant to be easy to install, with no effect to ground clearance.

To match the decked out exterior, Status Design has increased power output from the X6 xDrive35i’s twin-turbo 3.0-litre engine to 380 hp (from 306 hp) by tuning the ECU along and adding a high flow air filter and sports exhaust. SD says that the F 16′s price is “pleasantly surprising”.
