The Ultimate Ford Edge Tuning Transformation You Need To See

Barracuda Project 2.0: Ultralight Engineering

The build’s visual and mechanical pivot point is the wheel package.

Sascha selected the Barracuda Project 2.0 from the Ultralight Series.

These wheels use a Flow Forged process to deliver exceptional strength with minimal mass.

Despite measuring 9x21 inches, each wheel weighs only about 11.9 kg—a meaningful reduction in unsprung weight for a wheel of this diameter.

Mounted on 245/40R21 tyres and finished in high-gloss black brushed, the rims integrate seamlessly with the Edge’s black paintwork.

The lighter wheels improve steering response and ride quality while giving the SUV a more planted appearance.

SS Tuning Widebody: Sculpted Presence

To match the aggressive wheel stance, the Edge received an SS Tuning widebody conversion.

The kit includes fender flares that add muscular width, side-skirt attachments, and a reworked rear apron.

Up front, a de-badged grille and a subtle spoiler lip sharpen the face and lend a sportier, cleaner look.

These components aren’t just visual—they change proportions, enhancing the presence of the large 21-inch wheels and giving the SUV a purposeful silhouette that reads as both premium and performance-oriented.

Air Lift Suspension: From Daily Ride to Show Stance

Hiding beneath the bodywork is a full Air Lift Performance air suspension system.

With air suspension, Sascha can switch the Edge from everyday ride height to an extreme low stance at the touch of a button. When dropped, the SUV sits dramatically lower and looks far more cohesive with its widebody and large wheels.

Air Lift systems also allow for a balance between comfort and show readiness.

Drivers can maintain daily usability while achieving the slammed look for events or photoshoots.

Braking Upgrades: Brembo for Confidence

With increased speed potential and a wider track comes the need for stronger braking.

The Edge is fitted with a Brembo brake system, improving pedal feel, reducing fade, and ensuring consistent deceleration under spirited driving.

It’s an important performance complement to the visual and handling upgrades.

Conclusion — An Overlooked Platform, Reborn

The Ford Edge may have been rare on European roads, but that rarity makes it an ideal subject for creative builds.

Lightweight Barracuda Project 2.0 wheels, SS Tuning widebody components, Air Lift Performance suspension, and Brembo brakes combine to produce a Ford Edge that looks as confident as it performs.

For tuners and enthusiasts, this build is a reminder: with the right parts and attention to detail, even a quietly sold SUV can become a standout on the road and at the show.
