The Mugen Honda Legend Max Concept from 2005 was a one-off, high-performance version of the fourth-generation (KB1) Honda Legend/Acura RL created by Japanese tuner Mugen.

2005 DC Design DC Star

The DC Design DC Star from 2005 was a custom two-door version of the first-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo S created by Indian coachbuilder DC Design.

The DC Star took the normally four-door Cayenne SUV and reworked it as a two-door, more dramatic body style with bespoke exterior and interior touches

The MG XPower SV-R, released in 2004, was the top-performance version of the XPower SV. It was powered by a Roush-tuned 5.0-liter, 32-valve Ford Modular V8 that made a claimed 385 hp. Only 82 XPower SVs were built in total before MG Rover went into receivership in 2005.
