In Germany, many tuners are actually registered as automakers, due to the fact that their parts have to undergo the same strict testing as production cars and the fact that what they are capable of can hardly just be classified as “tuning.” There’s no better example of this than the C25 – a new bespoke...

Add on matte black paint and...
