Mercedes-Benz GL by Carlsson

The Mercedes-Benz GL (Type X 164) is the model with the most opulent dimensions within the entire Mercedes motorcar product line. With the new RS-Kit, the automobile manufacturer Carlsson now gives the GL a sporty look and at the same time, a powerful appearance.

The newly designed front marks the most significant change. The front spoiler lip lowers the GL visually closer to the road. Therefore, the RS-Kit provides the large Benz with a dynamic character. While the large radiator grill and the two bonnet attachments emphasise the dominant look of the GL. At the same time, the grill inserts made of electro-polished stainless steel radiate elegance. Carlsson adds these inserts to the front skirt, the front spoiler lip, the side skirts, the bonnet and the radiator grill.

Carlsson, the Mercedes refiner from Merzig/Germany also modifies the lights of the car. The headlight inserts and the additional headlights significantly contribute to the new facial expression of the GL. The LED daytime running lights in the front spoiler lip complete the new light unit. At night time, they can also be used as position lamps.

The new side ledges give the powerful car sides a considerably more sporty touch; this impression is additionally accentuated with the grill inserts made of electro-polished stainless steel.

The rear is dominated by a new rear skirt attachment which holds the two oval stainless steel pipes of the sport sub-muffler.

Carlsson offers the entire GL aerodynamics kit for 10,119 EUR including VAT.

In order to ensure that the engine performance matches the new design of the Mercedes-Benz GL, the Carlsson engineers developed performance enhancements for the various engine types. The performance kit CK50 has been especially developed for the top model GL 500. The interaction between the optimised engine electronics and the sport air filter increases the performance from 388 hp (285 kW) to 435 hp (320 kW) at 6,000 revolutions per minute. Thereby, the maximum torque rises from 530 to 600 Newton metres. The performance kit can be obtained in connection with the RS-Design Kit for 3,799 EUR including VAT.

Carlsson also increases the performance of the diesel models. After Carlsson modifies the GL 420 CDI, it thrusts out 354 hp (260 kW) instead of the former 306 hp (225 kW). The modification is available for 1,545 EUR including VAT. For the entry model GL 320 CDI, Carlsson offers the additional control unit C-Tronic CD32 REVO with the adequate adapter and wire harness which increases the performance from the serial 224 hp (165 kW) to 269 hp (198 kW). Thereby, the maximum torque rises from 510 to 612 Newton metres. For 1,783 EUR including VAT, the Mercedes GL driver can obtain this Plug-and-Play-System which can be attached within a few minutes.

Intelligent lowering

In order to transfer the generated power ideally onto the road, Carlsson developed the intelligent lowering module C-Tronic® SUSPENSION. This system does not only lower the car by up to 30 millimetres, the control unit also recognises the road characteristics and continually adjusts the remaining spring travel. Therefore, the C-Tronic® SUSPENSION perfectly connects sporty driving with comfortable travelling. It’s available for cars with AIRMATIC-suspension for 1,309 EUR including VAT.

Another refining highlight for the Mercedes-Benz GL is the 22-inch wheel-set in the design 1/11 Evo Brilliant Edition. The one-part light alloy wheel has been especially developed for weight-intensive models such as the GL. Design, load capacity and low weight were the equally important factors for the development of the wheel. It increases the agility with a minimum of unsprung masses and at the same time provides highest stability and radiates elegance with its eleven spokes. Available as a wheel-set with Dunlop high performance tyres measuring 295/35 R 22, the 1/11 Evo Brilliant Edition can be obtained for 4,985 EUR including VAT.

Mercedes C63 AMG by VÄTH

Although it does little the improve upon the already stellar looks of the standard C63 AMG wagon, in the area of power, horses are plentiful. There’s 585, in fact. As for our friend Newton, there’s plenty of him as well, with 690 Nm of torque all awaiting your eager right foot.

Together, they’ll propel you to a top speed of some 202 mph, while a limited slip differential with a 60 percent locking rate ensures optimum power transfer to the road. To increase handling, a new sport suspension system has been incorporated into the V63RS, as has a high performance brake system and new 20-inch wheels (9×20 and 10,5×20, 245/30 and 285/25). Inside, TV/DVD unit, and whatever else your heart desires.

Mercedes-Benz S Class bodykit by MEC Design

European tuning experts MEC Design are please to show off their new bodykit for the Mercedes-Benz S Class.

The MEC Design S-Class bodykit is a 2face system which allows the customer the choice of having the front bumper with driving lights and fog lights or with just mesh. At the rear the customer can also choose between having the sporty looking diffusor or to go with the more refined elegant diffusor. The side skirts continue the beautiful lines and are available with or without LED lighting (5 per side) which is linked up to the internal lighting. The spoiler on the rear trunklid rounds off the rear end nicely.

The MEC Design sports exhaust system is manufactured from mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, stainless steel resonator and muffler. The sounds that it produces are pretty amazing; the featured version is called “Earthquake” although it is available in a quieter version. The delicately placed embossed MEC Design logo on the quad oval chrome tips are the perfect finishing touch.

The interior features the MEC Design sports multi-functional airbag steering wheel. The distinctive ergonomically designed handles and its precious wood inlay and leather make it a pleasure to grip. The footmats are made from precious velours and feature Nubuck leather embroidery again with the MEC Design logo.

The alloy wheels are also designed by MEC Design and are a 3 piece design. The forged centre piece is high gloss compressed and has stainless steel outer rims. The front features 11×20 with 4,5 inch outer rims and 285/25 ZR 20 Hankook tires, whilst the rear has 13×20 with 5 inch outer rims again with 325/25 ZR 20 Hankook tires. The front axel has 10mm spacers and the rear axel 19mm spacers. All the bodywork has been done without the need for painting or lackering.

Mercedes SLR Desire by FAB-Design

With the SLR “Desire”, FAB Design has once more demonstrated its competence in the field of high-end luxury car customisation. From the FAB Design high-performance engine which generates an unbelievable performance of 750hp and a maximum torque of 1,080Nm to the perfectly designed FAB Design interior – nearly any relevant part of the Mercedes super sports car has been customised and brought to perfection with the highest level of technical expertise by the FAB Design specialists.

The FAB Design body which has been redesigned by the Swiss specialist for this very exquisite
masterpiece is made of ultra sturdy but extremely light and precious carbon which is produced in an autoclave – as is the case in aerospace industry and in Formula 1 – and in accordance with highest quality standards. At several exposed spots, the material is even visible since it has been clear-varnished in order to set spectacular accents.

Apart from the front and rear fenders, it also comprises new and exclusive FAB Design side skirts with special recesses for the FAB Design high-performance sports exhaust system whose pipes come out on the vehicle’s sides as is the case with the standard SLR.

The completely redesigned motor sports front apron as well as the reshaped bonnet which is adapted to the style of the new front side and to the wider fenders are further exclusive FAB Design highlights.

Even though, compared to the standard SLR, the vehicle has gained considerably in width, once again, the FAB Design specialists have succeeded in creating an absolutely harmonious silhouette.

This is the reason why the FAB Design specialists had the idea of creating something very special for the vehicle’s rear end.

The rear panel, completely redesigned by FAB Design, frames a huge diffuser which reduces the lift force. At the same time, the optionally available FAB Design rear wing spoiler increases the downforce at the rear axle without affecting the functionality of the brake assist inside the rear lid.

The result is a considerable improvement of driving dynamics and, thus, also of the driving safety at high and peak speeds which the FAB-Design “Desire” will reach in the twinkling of an eye thanks to its enormous engine performance.

The FAB Design specialists have achieved a further significant improvement of driving characteristics by installing their special sports suspension and by equipping the vehicle with huge forged FAB Design 20″ wheels which are provided with special high-performance 265/30 ZR 20 and 325/25 ZR 20 tyres by technology partner Michelin.

In the fist place, the interior equipment impresses with the way it harmonises with the vehicle’s colour. The interior is completely composed of black FAB DESIGN leather. The specially developed red FAB Design croco-style leather sets additional stylish accents. The FAB Design interior emphasises the appearance of the “Desire” with race character and elegance.

In order to make sure that the FAB Design “Desire” will not be taken for a toothless tiger, the FAB Design specialists have focussed all their expertise and experience on the super sports car’s powertrain.

Thanks to extensive modifications of the engine periphery and of the hard and software, the FAB Design high-performance powertrain now generates 750hp instead of the standard SLR’s 626hp. The maximum torque has been increased from 780Nm to 1,080Nm.

The result of all those efforts: The FAB Design “Desire” reaches a regulated top speed of 310 km/h and passes the 100 km/h mark in 3.6 seconds. This breathtaking demonstration of engine force is, of course, rounded off by the infernal sound of the FAB Design high-performance sports exhaust system’s total number of six tailpipes.

With the SLR “Desire”, FAB Design has made another impressive statement of its special class in the field of high-end luxury car customisation.

Unfortunately, FAB Design has limited the number of vehicles strictly to 15, and, although it was shown in Geneva only, the whole production is already sold out.

MEC Design Mercedes-Benz CLS Bodykit

MEC Design have been designing tuning products for over 10 year now and are very proud to show off their curvacious new CLS bodykit. The CLS bodykit is hot on the heels of the S-Class bodykit, which was released at the end of 2008.

The bodykit features some of the most curvacious lines available, and the front bumper looks meaner than the devil on a bad day. It is available with daylight driving lights and fog lights or with a mesh inset. The rear bumper is available with the Sports Diffusor look or with a sleek elegant finish. The side skirts are available with or without LED lighting (5 lights per side) which is linked up to the internal lighting. The 3 piece rear spoiler finishes it all off nicely and is just another indication of MEC Designs attention to detail.

The alloy wheels are also designed by MEC Design and are a 3 piece design. The forged centre piece is high gloss compressed and has stainless steel outer rims. The front features 11×20 with 4,5 inch outer rims and 285/25 ZR 20 Hankook tires, whilst the rear has 13×20 with 5 inch outer rims again with 325/25 ZR 20 Hankook tires. The front axel has 10mm spacers and the rear axel 19mm spacers. All the bodywork has been done without the need for painting or lackering.

This model features the MEC Design Electronic Lowering Module, which is available for models CLS270 – CLS63AMG with Airmatic Suspension. It is available with standard measure that allows for lowering of 20-40mm or with special measure, which takes it down between 40-70mm. For the models CLS270-CLS350 and those without Airmatic suspension there is the MEC Design height adjustable coilover kit, ideal for spirited street driving or light track use. The 28-way adjustable kits allow for dampening tuning in the front and dampening and rebound tuning in the rear with just a simple click of the knob. This kit offers adjustable depths for front axel 30-70mm and rear axel of 30-65mm.

The MEC Design sports exhaust system is manufactured from mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, stainless steel resonator and muffler. The sounds that it produces are pretty amazing; the featured version is called “Earthquake” although it is available in a quieter version. The delicately placed embossed MEC Design logo on the quad oval chrome tips are the perfect finishing touch.

The interior features the MEC Design sports multi-functional airbag steering wheel. The distinctive ergonomically designed handles and its precious wood inlay and leather make it a pleasure to grip. The footmats are made from precious velours and feature Nubuck leather embroidery again with the MEC Design logo.

Cem Altun, Company CEO and the driving force behind MEC Design’s success says “I was over the moon when we released the bodykit for the S-Class in October last year, I didn’t think anything could beat it, but this looks absolutely amazing. The reactions that we’ve had to it so far have been exceptional.”

Mercedes SLK by Piecha Design

Mercedes Benz SLK never lacks elegant looks. Especially since it underwent a facelift last year, the roadster has an extremely classy appearance. Everyone who is now willing to take the extra step from quality to excellence, has come to the right place: the Mercedes refiner Piecha Design.

Their extensive programme gives the SLK the finishing touch for perfection.

Piecha Design enhances the already very sportive appearance of the aerodynamics package with an additional front spoiler lip (435 euros including VAT), flaps at the back (185 euros) and an improved rear diffuser (485 euros). The new front lip is custom-made and perfectly fitted and glued to the side spoiler. The design emphasises the sportive silhouette and the striking front. Fitting the rear spoiler lip which can be simply glued and adding the rear diffuser is nearly as simple. The latter is placed into the surrounding bead and also glued. There are suitable diffusers for AMG styling exclusively for four-pipe systems or for the serial rear skirts with two or four pipes. The diffuser by Piecha Design fits on both exhaust versions, only the serially fitted rear apron has to be modified for four-pipe systems. Piecha Design additionally offers all rear diffuser models in real carbon as well (835 euros).

Of course, the refiner located in Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg, also offers a selection of light alloy wheels. Such as Sportec duo (1,490 euros), a wheel with an exclusive design and five fine double-spokes which frame the Mercedes bonnet star on the hub. The brilliantly shining sterling silver perfectly matches the highly polished rim well. The circular bolt heads give the wheel a dynamic multi-part look. The model dp2 Phantom (1,690 euros) also comes with double-spokes. The struts are significantly more delicate and the eight spoke pairs are fitted much closer to each other than with the Sportec duo. The finish in high gloss silver or satin black, the highly polished stainless steel rim well and the bolt heads underline the multi-part look. Moreover, Piecha Design offers the dp3 Avalange (1,690 euros) in high gloss silver or satin black. The ten-spoke wheel is also framed by a highly polished stainless steel rim well and bolt heads. All wheels are available in the dimension 8.5×19 for the front- and 9.5×19 inches for the rear axle with tyres sized 225/35 and 255/30 respectively.

The right sound for this look is rendered by the Quadro exhaust systems by Piecha Design. The Quadro Sport New Edition (1,065 Euro) offers an earthy sonorous six-cylinder sound from four voluminous pipes in AMG format for the SLK models 200, 280 and 350. The Quadro Performance (1,165 Euro) offers the same look, but the sound is far more brawny, deep and hollow. This four-pipe system offers V8 sound for V6 engines in the SLK 280 and 350. Due to an existing EEC-approval, the Quadro exhaust system does not have to be registered separately.

The SLK performance is enhances with the Power Converter “Intermedia“ (429 euros). With this component, Piecha Design offsets the gas pedal deceleration. The roadster therefore accelerates immediately without the notorious extra delay. Especially cars with a seven-speed automatic transmission profit from the fact that the gas pedal with the included potentiometer can be adjusted in such a way that it responds individually.

Visually striking and at the same time practical are the LED daytime running lights (from 475 euros). Piecha Design offers these in a set with clear glass fog lights for all SLK front aprons. Thereby, the customer can always select between lights with either a black or a chromed border.

The Comfort Vario roof module (299 Euro) enhances the foldable roof with a so far painfully missed function: You can open and close the roof while driving. Finally you do not have to stop the car in order to react to rain or sunshine. And you no longer need to worry if the red phase at the traffic lights will provide enough time for changing your roof adjustments. And the driver stays dry as he does not have to rush to the next exit when it starts raining. For speeds up to 60 km/h the roof can be opened or closed via switch or key.

In order to perfect the automobile look, Piecha Design offers a wide range of components: This includes aluminium door pins (10 euros) and the stainless steel door sill protectors (357 euros) which bear the refiner´s chromed and illuminated logo. Chromed roll bars (745 euros) made of stainless steel and wind deflectors made of real glass (from 220 euros) upgrade the interior.

For the certain exterior something, there are chromed rails for the boot lid (79 euros) and Aerowings (from 98 euros) in the version highly chrome-polished, black and semi gloss anodised.

DMC Lamborghini Murcielago GT

Lamborghini‘s new Aventador is such a big hit, it‘s been reported to be completely sold out for the next 18+ months. This is especially painful for owners of the original Murcielago 580 that were hoping to go Aventador-Galore after having passed on the LP640. This huge market opportunity has now been targeted by German Tuner DMC (www.DMC.ag).

After their successfull Limited Edition LP640 QV last year, DMC is now proud to announce its 2011 GT Murcielago, a kit that has been engineered for the first generation Murci from the ground up. DMC‘s team set the target to refresh the supercars look on the out- and inside while staying loyal to the original line, and boy does it deliver.

DMC posseses the industry‘s high-tech manufacturing ability to produce molded dry-carbon fiber parts, on a level that has often been commented on as "Better than OEM". Therefore it‘s no wonder that all parts of the new 2011 GT kit are being made as such high tier quality level:

Body Kit
The maintenance of a perfect road contact is most essential when one is pushing a super sports car to the limit. To achieve greater downforce on the front, DMC offers a redesigned front and rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. In typical DMC tradition, all parts are being manufactured in pure carbon fiber by an Autoclave.

Exhaust
The DMC stainless sports rear silencer (end pipe) emits a sound similar to that generated from race tracks announcing the arrival of the blood-curdling steer. Positive side effect; an even sportier rear look. If that‘s not enough, customers can extend their exhaust system with a DMC sport metallic catalytic converter.

Interior
DMC prepares the cockpit of the Super-Lambo providing even more sports racing atmosphere. For this, the tuners from Duesseldorf, Germany offer a complete make-over using carbon fiber & fine leathers. Clients that have the opportunity to bring their car to DMC will not recognize their Murcielago after the DMC treatment. Complete new leather and carbon fiber coatings leave no old look behind, a hand-made art that is performed by only a few masters left in Germany.

Engine
Lastly, ECU remapping is provided to bring out those few extra horse-powers, pushing the Murcielago from normally available 572 to 600 HP, while increasing torque from 479 to 495 Nm. It should be noted that improving on the Lamborghini engine software is not something many outside of the factory can successfully perform. DMC‘s proprietary software improves power and torque by carefully refining the fuel delivery ignition time and load values as well as throttle settings which improve the overall performance.

Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2 by Oakley Design

Oakley Design has released the first details about their new tuning program for the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

Following international acclaim for their finely honed Ferrari 458, Porsche GT2, GT3 and Panamera conversions, Oakley Design is now proud to announce their tuning programme for the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador.

Production of the Oakley Design LP760-2 will be limited to just five cars, each bearing a unique numbered plaque. Three of these are already sold. Outside of this Limited Edition model, individual parts will be available for clients who do not require the complete package.

Chassis
A new ultra-light, forged alloy wheel is being developed in conjunction with our partner HRE. Weighing around 4.0kg less per corner than the factory alloys, this is the distinctive Oakley Design P40 design used on our Ferrari and Porsche based models.

We retain the factory 255/35ZR19 front and 355/30ZR20 Pirelli PZero tyres, but increase wheel width from 9.0J to 9.5 inch in front, and from 12.0J to 13.0J at the rear. This gives the car a wider footprint, and endows the rear wheels with more mechanical grip in ‘corsa' mode.

Although the majority of owners will purchase just the carbon-fibre parts, sports exhaust and re-mapped ECU, a few hard-core clients are interested in a rear-drive only option for further weight saving and increased performance.

After our success tuning the Ferrari 458 Italia to 640bhp, and also having driven the Underground Racing twin-turbo F458 with 880bhp, we feel that the Aventador, with its very stiff full carbon monocoque and advanced suspension design, should also be able to handle this level of power with just rear-wheel-drive.

We are developing several suspension upgrade alternatives with our partner Intrax, and the removal of the front differential, drive shafts and associated front drivetrain parts will reduce kerb weight by around 85kgs.

Performance
Lamborghini's claimed outputs of 690bhp and 690Nm (508 lb/ft) of torque, will be increased by around 10% with an ECU remap optimising a larger airbox, intake feed pipe diameter and a titanium exhaust system that will also save over 30kg. Our target is 760bhp with 745Nm (550 lb/ft) of torque. The angular cover surrounding the four exhaust outlet pipes will feature the Oakley Design logo and signature burnt blue tip look.

Aerodynamics
Despite having a carbon-fibre bodyshell, the Aventador has many gloss black plastic parts. The two plastic front bumper and two rear bumper trims will be extended to aid cooling, as will the side air intakes located behind the doors. The new parts will be made from carbon-fibre, as will the new side sills with their slightly larger vents. The sills can either be colour-coded to the bodywork, with the air vents picked out in carbon, or left completely in exposed carbon finish for a more aggressive look.

Developed in the MIRA wind tunnel, the rear Gurney flap, matched to a deeper rear diffuser with longer, deeper boundary layer fences, helps high-speed stability and grip on both two and four-wheel-drive versions. The carbon-fibre door mirrors and engine bay covers are direct replacement parts. Along with the black carbon roof, they give this very special Aventador its distinctive Oakley Design look.

HAMANN Victory II

HAMANN already presented the super sports car Victory based on the first Lamborghini Gallardo. With the latest Gallardo LP560-4, now also the new HAMANN Victory II is introduced. The car body becomes broader and the engine performance as well as the amount of carbon parts is significantly increased.

And what is the most essential part of a Lamborghini? Right, it is the wing doors. And nobody really knows why the Gallardo is not equipped with them straight away. HAMANN offers these for the Victory II. In addition, they offer an entire refinement of the original body design which starts with a new front apron in Race-design with a centre carbon part. With new fenders in the front and fender extensions in the back, the Victory II renders an even more remarkable appearance. Also, the extended side skirts and the air inlet on the roof – available in carbon as well – confirm this impression. The back of the car is enhanced by a diffuser and a newly designed rear wing which pushes the car onto the road at high speeds. HAMANN offers the rear wing either in fibre glass or the ultra light and persistent carbon. On top of that, a carbon layer can be applied to the bonnet.

HAMANN equips the Victory II with 20 inch Edition Race rims with a special varnish in order to emphasize the new dynamic look. At the same time, the reduced unsprung masses improve the handling and the acceleration and braking response. The recommended wheel/tyre combination is 9.5Jx20 inches with 235/30ZR20 tyres at the front and 13Jx20 rims with 325/25ZR20 tyres at the back.

By adjusting the engine electronics, HAMANN squeezes additional performance out of this Italian stallion, increasing its power to 427 kW/580 hp with a maximum torque of 575 Newton metres. Therefore, the HAMANN Victory II reaches an impressive 328 km/h top speed.

The impressive V10-Sound turns even more remarkable by applying an end muffler to the serial end pipes.

The interior of the HAMANN Victory II is enhanced by a 14-part carbon set which includes decorative blends, the steering wheel and the door openers. The HAMANN-sports seats with the carbon back render a perfect seating position. If desired, the HAMANN upholstery department can offer anything to make the customers’ hearts beat faster. Personalised floor mats or entire leather equipment, everything is handmade by master craftsmen. Individually designed for you and fitted to your car by experts.

Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition by Anderson Germany

As might be expected, the company ANDERSON headquartered in Dusseldorf is unlikely taboo that you could not throw overboard. This company is well-known for its bold solutions for top flight vehicles of different origin exceeding the declared specifications. So this Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition is a further proof of the inexhaustible creativity of this team from the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Performance kit takes the horsepower from 560 to 600 hp. This is done with series of modifications that include the use of software optimization and the addition of a modified air filter and a sport exhaust system with additional Rennkats. The tuning package includes a remote-controlled valve adjusting system that lets driver opt from three different levels of noise and also reduces approximately 22 kg in weight. A special sport suspension module combined with a precise undercarriage significantly changes the driving dynamics. Three-piece, shiny black rims - each with a white painted deep dish - in dimensions of 9x20 inch with 245/30-20 tires in front and 12.5 x 20 inch with 325/25-20 rear provide adequate adherence with the asphalt surface.

Externally visible modifications include carbon trim, widening aero kit consisting of front apron, side skirts, rear bumper diffuser and a rear spoiler. And window and tail light tinting should be mentioned also. The look is completed by LED lights on the sides of the vehicle and contrasting red-painted calipers.

The interior features exclusive white carbon details. There are the vents, the hand brake lever, the shift paddles, the dashboard, the steering wheel, door handle inlays, the shift lever and the border of the internal light in the roof lining.

The seats of the White Racing Edition are finished in black Alcantara and black and white leather; the edges of seats are entirely in white; doors and seats have diamond-shaped stitching.

RENM Lamborghini LP 640 Axiom

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is the quintessential supercar of recent years. Powered by a 6.5-liter V12 that produces 640 PS (470KW) and 660 NM of torque, the LP640 perfectly balances engine output through a sophisticated all-wheel drive system equipped with front, center and rear limited-slip differentials.

RENM performance have released an upgrade for the Lamborghini LP640 called the ‘Axiom’. Axiom comes from the Greek word (axioma), meaning "being in balance". This sense of balance is apparent in the way RENM have approached their LP640 upgrade. The car’s design lines are retained with subtle visual enhancements, with more emphasis placed on performance.

The Axiom tuning program features an R GT interior redesign, carbon inserts and optional carbon/forged three piece wheels with forged aluminum outer shells, titanium reverse fasteners and carbon-fiber cross sections. Other one piece wheel designs and dimensions are available ranging between 19 and 21 inch.

The exhaust system is designed to monitor and regulate back pressure for maximum performance. The exhaust valves can be programmed via remote control, allowing for driving in either cruise, sports or open mode. When combined with an ECU re-calibration and sports air-filters, gains of up to 665 PS (489KW) are realised.

For those seeking higher levels of performance, RENM offer a stage 2 upgrade. The stage 2 upgrade includes the complete back-pressure controlled exhaust system, revised sports camshafts, cylinder head conditioning and ECU re-calibration. These modifications increase power to 715PS (525KW), a significant increase over the car’s original 640 PS output.

Lamborghini Murcielago Yeniceri Edition by Unicate

Unicate has unveiled the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Yeniceri Edition. Unicate may not be a familiar tuning firm, but they are part of MEC Design Group, a select group of companies that specialize in high-end automotive tuning solutions. Whilst MEC Design specialize in Mercedes-Benz tuning, Unicate are responsible for taking some of the finest automobiles available in the world, restyling and upgrading them to make them simply Unique!

Unicate are known for taking their exclusive automobile tuning to extremes and their latest creation is certainly no exception to that rule. It is a 2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and Unicate have named it the "Yeniceri Edition".

The Yeniceri is named after an elite fighting troop of soldiers from the Ottoman Empire - the best of the best. Their name alone would strike fear into the hearts of anyone that heard it and the thunderous sounds that they made as they approached would send people into panic.

The exhaust system of the "Yeniceri Edition" has the same effect as it gives out an amazing 120db whilst standing still. The exhaust system has been newly developed using the original tailpipes and increases the performance in the region of 20PS.

The ride itself has been lowered by about 1 inch (20mm) which is amazing considering the size of the wheels that it has. The Unicate Wheels "ConcavTen" have a Chrome outer lip whilst the center and Inner lip have a Matt Black finish to match the body work. The wheels on a ride like this are usually 8,5x20 with 2 inch outer lip and 235 tires on the front and 13x20 with a 6 inch outer lip and 335 tires on the rear. Unicate had other plans however and have managed to fit 10,5x20 with a full 4 inch outer lip and 285/25 ZR 20 tires titeson the front and a massive 13,5x21 with a 6 inch outer lip and 375/25 ZR 21 on the rear which surely makes this Lamborghini a world record car.

Cem Altun, CEO and founder of Unicate and the MEC Design Group, said "We wanted to take the wheels to the extremes and wanted to give it a wider wheel on the rear but there aren't any tires wide enough. It's great! It drives much better now than when it had the smaller original wheels on, it's much more sportier now and you have the real feeling of driving a safer sports cars."

Unicate have incorporated LED Daylight driving lights into the front grill under the bumper as well as adding 5 LED lights underneath each of the side skirts. The engine compartment hasn't missed out either and now features LED lighting which shows off the beautiful Lamborghini engine.

The interior gets an overhaul as well as Unicate have designed a completely new carbon fibre and leather sports steering wheel. Nothing is spared as the carbon fibre finish also features throughout the interior with the speedometer housing, gear paddles, heating-/ radio housing and the middle console also having the high class finish.

DMC upgrades MTI powerboat for Gargiulo

DMC is a German designer of exclusive automotive vehicles such as Lamborghini and Ferrari. DMC offers individualization options for vehicle interior and exterior designs. More recently, we featured the DMC Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

Instead of featuring another DMC Lamborghini, this time we check out their powerboat!

It now seems that our Westphalian friends are gunning for something completely different. They've hooked up with Gargiulo, a powerboat racing team from Florida, as a main sponsor. However, they're not settling for just a plastic sticker on the hull. DMC have taken their aerodynamic experiences dealing with European supercars and applied their knowledge as they went to work on the team's top-performing powerboat from MTI.

The vessel underwent heavy modifications, kitting it out with what DMC knows best - carbon fiber. This reduced the boat's weight further, pushing the top speed to an incredible 193 mph.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Balboni by Anderson Germany

It is always a challenge when you take even the most seemingly perfect car - as the Lamborghini undoubtedly is - and have it undergo a treatment in order to present it to an admiring audience in an even more perfect condition. For example with a car that is not exactly under-motorised - the Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni Edition.

Because the exterior of this fast car can hardly be improved, the team at the company ANDERSON GERMANY - with their headquarters in Düsseldorf - have concentrated more on the interior than on the small visible external "details" and this has given them room to go all out.

Small visible details would include the tint of the tail lamps and the panes. Alone the description of the exclusive three-part rims with specialty lacquering would be enough to fill more pages than we have space for here. To sum up: these are specially lacquered rims, 8.5x20 and 11.5x20 inches in size, soled with high performance tyres measuring 235/30-20 at the front and 305/25-20 at the back. Although they are not immediately visible, this is more than made up for by the audible exhaust system, which can be adjusted with a remote controlled, three-step valve control.

In the completely refined interior the logo-decorated seats and the generously built Carbon in White are an absolute feast for the eyes. It is worth mentioning the increased performance of the engine, from 550 PS to 590 with an even higher maximum torque.

The company ANDERSON GERMANY is an elite tuner, which turns luxury cars into truly one of a kind vehicles. The vehicles are of course fine-tuned for the stars of this world according to their special requests, inside as well as outside. A special pick-up service is offered to do this, regardless of the car's location. Naturally, the final product is delivered to the same place.

DMC Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Quattro Veloce

German tuner DMC has released a new tuning kit for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640. Called the "Quattro Veloce," the mostly carbon fiber kit is available through JamesList.com, and includes a new front fascia, with redesigned hood and intakes, and a new splitter.

Other elements on the car include new side wings, fuel-filler cap, a new rear spoiler, as well as a new rear diffuser all of course in pure carbon fiber. The engine, covered by DMC's red-carbon cage, has been upgraded by about six percent, to produce 670 PS (493 kW / 661 bhp) and up to 660 Nm (487 ft-lb) of torque.

With the upgrades, the car is capable of hitting 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, en route to a top speed of 213 mph, about 8 mph faster than the stock LP 640.

Pricing for the kit begins at €59,900, with installation and back-and-forth delivery of the car to DMC headquarters in Dusseldorf. For an additional €40,000, the customer can add diamond forged wheels that showcase the world‘s first white-carbon rims, carbon fiber seats, and ostrich leather.

Should you be capable of installing the package yourself, you can save €20k. The limited edition Quattro Veloce package will be limited to 40 units. The first car will be delivered in July.

BF-performance turns the Lamborghini into the GT600

In the Swiss city Zug, perfection has a different meaning than in the Italian town Sant’Agata Bolognese. While Lamborghini is satisfied with the Gallardo LP560-4, the Swiss have higher demands – at least the engineers at BF-performance. For them, the Gallardo is too innocent and neither dynamic nor individual enough.

Therefore, they turn both the Coupé and also the Spyder into the GT600 which has a stronger performance, more self-confidence and looks more aggressive.

The refined appearance immediately catches the eye with the new aerodynamics kit which BF-performance produces entirely in carbon. The elaborate processing of this high-performance material combines extremely light weight with supreme durability. This allows the Lamborghini specialist to implement an optimised aerodynamics concept.

At the front, this shows in voluminous air inlets of the especially developed front spoiler which follows the shape of the Lamborghini top model Reventón. This way, BF-performance does not only improve the driving behaviour, but also gives the Gallardo a significantly aggressive appearance and an increasingly racy look.

Optimised under-body aerodynamics is guaranteed by the side skirts and the rear diffuser which are both also made of carbon. The striking carbon rear wing renders additional down thrust. Its edged design perfects the design language of the Lamborghini and gives the Gallardo the finishing touch.

The wing doors render a significant amount of individuality, but are strictly limited to Lamborghini models with twelve-cylinder engines. Due to the refinement by BF-performance, also the GT600 with a V10 engine can be equipped with doors which are so typical for Lamborghini.

And of course the engineers also focused on the engine performance. BF-performance has confirmed the performance of the new automobile in an impressive race. On the Sachsenring round course, the GT600 even managed to beat the stronger Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 SV by an impressive lead of 0.6 seconds.

For the special individualisation, BF-performance offers a unique amendment: it can be modified from a four-wheel drive car to a rear-drive super car. This way, the GT600 combines the exclusive feature of the Gallardo LP550-2 “Valentino Balboni“ with increased performance. The new engine concept and 43 kilogramme of saved weight render a unique driving experience.

The interior also follows this dynamic maxim. Apart from the sports bucket seats, BF-performance also offers five-point belts, a roll-over cage and a carbon-ceramic braking system with which the GT600 meets the highest racing standards. BF-performance visually adjusts the interior to the increased dynamics. The manufactory uses carbon on the steering wheel, door handles, ventilation grids and even at the switch casings. The customer can even opt for carbon in his favourite colour.

BF-performance offers the entire car with all components either as the sporty Coupé GT600 or also as the Roadster GT600 Spyder.
The entire automobile confirms the perfection and passion for detail applied by BF-performance. The Lamborghini specialist has already gained experience with the predecessor model and now brings its art of engineering into perfection with the GT 600. Also Lamborghini’s design development confirms the talents of BF-performance, as the Swiss specialist is always one step ahead of the Italian manufacturer.
