The Japanese auotnmaker Mitsuoka has released the GalueS50 Limo which mixes the look and feel of a Rolls Royce and the chasi from an Infiniti M. Don’t expect the Limo to make waves in Japan, but we’re of fan of the style and could see this stylish design as a hit in Europe, particularly Britain. The ambitiously designed Mitsuoka Galue S50 Limo doesn’t have much of a kick to it using the Infiniti M engine with 223HP 2.5 liter and a more robust 313HP 3.5 liter, also available in all-wheel drive. The S50 goes for 8 million and 9.3 million Yen, 68,000-80,000 Euros, or approximately $100,000. Follow through the jump to view interior and exterior images.

From the complex helmet art to the custom packaging, this helmet is straight money. At a price of $699, compared to $550 for the standard Bell Star model, the Bell C Star helmet is also a fairly good deal. About $100 less expensive than comparable Japanese helmet models.

While many Japanese tuners have turned their attention towards European luxury sedans, Wald International has gone domestic with its new styling package for the Lexus IS-F. Designed to compete with the M3 and the Mercedes C63 AMG, the recently-introduced stock model IS-F packs a respectable 417 horsepower on its own. However, it lacks the looks to back up the power. Wald’s new IS-F body kit takes care of that problem by adding a large rear diffuser, additional side air vents, and an aggressive rear wing to the car. The front of Wald’s IS-F features a new spoiler that lowers the ride height. Overall, Wald’s new package gives the IS-F a more vicious look. Although, we’d most likely switch out the wheels for a cleaner-looking set. Follow the jump for a rear end shot.
