Who thought that a crossover can`t be a synonym with performance should reevaluate it`s position because B&B tuning,specialized in modifying Audi and Volkswagen models, launched a series of bodykits for Tiguan.
The crossover can be ordered with 18″,19″ or 20″ rims, completed by an aerodynamic bodykit lowered with 40mm.Under the hood there are a few tuning levels,each one managing to get more power out of the stock engine.
The 2.0l TFSI engine is available in 4 models.The first has 240Hp and 340Nm of torque,the second 250Hp and the third 286Hp.The last one includes a special intercooler, new air filters, a modified ECU and a new sport evacuation.After all this the Tiguan has 300Hp and 420Nm of torque. (more…)

The American tuner StaSIS revealed its own version of Audi A4. Unlike all the American tuners we all know from the TV productions,filled with bling-bling, StaSIS managed to get out on the market a model with more style and taste creating in the same time an engine for the taste of both Europeans and Americans.
Actually the only difference worth mentioning at the exterior are the huge 20″ rims.Under the hood things change.We are talking about the same 4 cylinder 2l engine,that has been upgraded up to 255Hp and 400Nm of torque.The acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is done in 5.3s.Among the other technical changes a new braking system is included,signed by Alcon Monobloc, the package managing to stop the car form 100km/h in 36m.

When we talk about tuners specialized in modifying the exterior and tech parts at the Mercedes models the first name that comes in mind is Brabus. This model has been modified by Kleemann,another tuner that is specialized in modifying the models from Stuttgart.
The last creation of these tuners is based on the C63 AMG.Being extremely well done when talking about the aesthetic part and the tech part the guys at Kleemann decided not to touch the aesthetic part,except giving this car another pair of 20″ rims.
The big differences are under the hood,where Kleemann did everything they could to please everyone that want the model in the picture.
The Kleemann C63 AMG is available in 4 different power levels,depending on the modifications brought to the 6.2l 451Hp engine. (more…)
