Automotive Tuning & Modifications

Unplugged Performance is going back to Pikes Peak in 2026. That alone would be news. The Hawthorne, California company sat out the mountain in 2024 and 2025 after Dark Helmet, their Model S APEX race car, posted a sub-10-minute run (9:54.901) in 2023 and stacked lap records at Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, and Willow Springs along […]

Lamborghini’s Temerario is, by every measurable metric, a generational leap for Sant’Agata’s “entry-level” supercar. Replacing the beloved Huracán is no small task, but with a brand-new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter flat-plane V8 working alongside three axial-flux electric motors, the Temerario puts out a combined 920 CV (907 horsepower) and 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque. That’s enough […]

We cover a lot of car builds on our website, but every once in a while, a detailing project lands in our feed that genuinely stops us dead in our tracks. This is one of them. A Midnight Purple Nissan GT-R T-Spec, treated to a full protection package by the team at Bulletproof Auto Spa […]

A tri-motor Tesla sedan with 1,020 horsepower, forged wheels, spherical bushings, and a Romanian hillclimb champion behind the wheel. That’s the story Unplugged Performance and Dominic Marcu have been writing together since 2021, and it’s been consistently winning. The Model S Plaid as a Performance Baseline Before any modifications, the Tesla Model S Plaid is […]

When Toyota brought back the Supra after a 17-year hiatus, the automotive world had opinions. Loud ones. But once the A90 proved itself on track, the canyon roads of Southern California, and the drag strips of the Midwest, the conversation shifted from skepticism to respect. This car earns it. And when a build shop like […]

Tesla just killed its flagship sedan and SUV. Production ends in Q2 2026, and the used market is about to be flooded with S and X examples at prices that make a lot more sense than they did two years ago. If you own one, or you’re about to buy one, now is a good […]

The Lamborghini Revuelto is already the most powerful Lamborghini ever built. Novitec looked at that and decided it wasn’t enough. The German tuner just unveiled its first full refinement program for the V12 hybrid supercar, and the show car they chose to debut it on is finished in a shade of purple that’s a deliberate […]

More than 40 Tesla owners showed up at Buttonwillow Raceway Park for TeslaCorsa 43, the first event of the 2026 season, and every single one of them drove home without a mechanical issue. Not one. From first-generation Model S sedans to full-blown Plaids and even Cybertrucks, the entire grid drove to the track under their […]

The Tesla Model S Plaid is, without a doubt, one of the fastest production sedans on the planet. With 1,020 horsepower, a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of just 2.1 seconds, and a top speed north of 320km/h (200mph), this electric luxury sedan offers performance that would make most supercars blush. It is a car that rewrites […]

Few supercars can match the audacious combination of innovation and aggression found in the Ferrari SF90 Stradale Nero Assetto Fiorano, part track-focused thoroughbred, part exotic showstopper. Draped in Nero Assetto Fiorano, Ferrari’s deep, glossy black paint accentuates every aerodynamic contour and sculpted line, emphasizing the car’s purposeful stance and menacing presence. This is a machine […]

Few sedans can match the dual nature of the previous-generation Mercedes-AMG E63 S, part luxury cruiser, part ballistic missile. Cloaked in Designo Night Black Magno, this super sedan commands attention with a presence that’s equal parts sinister and sophisticated. The paint, a matte metallic masterpiece from Mercedes’ exclusive Designo program, absorbs light rather than reflecting […]

Launched less than a year ago, the 2024+ Tesla Model 3 Performance has not only raised the bar for electric performance but also redrawn the blueprint for what a modern sports sedan can be.
