The car tuning industry has evolved a lot lately.One of the most famous Porsche tuner, 9FF, created the most powerful model of the Suttgart constructor ever made.
Based on the 911 model, 9ff DraXster has a normal engine,a twin-turbo 4.0l.Even so the 6 cylinder boxer engine manages to throw out 1300Hp and 1190Nm.Also this beauty amazes us once again because it has only 1168kg.
The performances just come naturally after the constructors took care of everything.Air intake,engine tuning,a little bit of design,improved brakes and suspension tuning.
This incredible car beats the Veyron acceleration from 0 to 260km/h(9.5s) and has an amazing top speed of over 410km/h.With these stats the ego of SSC Ultimate Aero was ruined.

Mercedes officially presented the first images and informations with the newest monster that got out of the hands of the AMG engineers.Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series manages to honor the contract with the fans and is to be a street weapon,with a V12 biturbo 6.0l engine with 670Hp.
The engine will have an automatic gear box with 5 gears,a bad news for the guys that expected at least 6 gears on this model.Anyway,there is a good part at the bad part:the software that takes care of the gears is the same on the Speedshift version with 7 gears.The monster is quite heavy, even though thanks to the carbon fiber it was lowered with 250kg,reaching 1870kg.A number quite big which doesn`t take you to a sports car.
Even with these conditions,the performances are just like AMG got us used to.The car gets from 0 to 100km/h in only 3.9s and has a top speed of 320km/h reached at 6200 in the 5th gear.
The model will be presented for the first time at the Paris Auto Saloon in october.The price of SL 65 AMG Black Series will be around 250.000 euro. (more…)

Bentley Continental GT was always a challenge for the great tuning houses.The newest tunings of the sports limousine belong to the Japanese from Wald International and the Germans from Project Kahn.
The Asians created a more aggressive bodykit that is based on the radical modification of the exterior.The exterior kit includes a new front bumper with large air locks,side skirts and new rear bumper.
The package is completed by the aileron mounted on the trunk and the unique wheels,specially designed for this tuned model.The package made by Wald International wasn`t yet released on the market,but the Japanese hope to be able to offer it to the public by the end of this year.
On the other side, the Germans from Prject Kahn prepared a package that improve the looks of the Bentley Continental GTS model,personalized by them some time ago.Actually the new bodykit,called Black Edition,comes as a fix,offering a new look more attractive and aggressive.
The exterior black paint matches perfectly with the for the front spoiler,redesigned also by the German engineers,with the side skirts and rear bumper.THe 22″ wheels Silver Mist complete the new look.
The interior has a leather steering wheel with carbon fiber insertions.The evacuation system was replaceed wit a better improved one that helps the W12 engine breath better and sound more aggressive.
Unlike the Japanese at Wald,Project Kahn already offers the bodykit for the ones that aren`t satisfied by the looks of their Bentley. (more…)
