The classically styled BMW Z8 roadster has fallen into the hands of German aftermarket firm Senner Tuning, which has presented a new sports package with a selection of performance upgrades.

In stock form, the Bavarian roadster sports the E39 M5's 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers 400-horses and a peak torque of 500Nm(368.8 lb-ft).

After the addition of a sports filter, a custom exhaust system and a light ECU tune, output is lifted to 450-horses and 535Nm (394.6 lb-ft) with Senner stating that the modded Z8's top speed is in excess of 300km/h (186mph)[...]

Edo Competition is an aftermarket developer that likes to play with some of the most powerful beasts the auto industry offers to the public. However, from time to time, the company takes short brakes in which it demonstrates the abilities of its products.

Edo recently took the time to enjoy such an initiative, with the tuner holding a drifting session that involved its cars. As you can see in the adjacent images, which were taken by automotive photographer Philip Lucke, Edo-tuned versions of ...[...]

The BMW Z8 was one of those cars that were great in theory, but lacked true ingenuity in production form. Before that realization, though, BMW built 5,703 units from March 2000 to July 2003, and 555 of those units were an Alpina version - meaning they were equipped with an an automatic gearbox and featured a wider radiator grill and side air intakes created by Henrik Fisker to get something good out of a design that didn’t exactly work out the way they had intended. Needless to say, the Z8 needed some work to crank up its style and Senner Tuning was able to get their hands on one of these models to do just that.

The BMW Z8 by Senner Tuning features a sleek, black exterior with a new set of 19" Work Schwert SC1 wheels in Diamond Black, wrapped around Continental Sport Contact 5P 255/40R19 and 285/35R19 tires. The wheels were then combined with a new set of Racing Gold varnished brake calipers and a new coilover suspension Variant 2 Inox-Line. The suspension comes with an adjustable rebound and a strut bar installed on the reinforced shock mount in the front in order to stabilize the front end. Nothing else was done to the look of the vehicle, which is probably okay because of the engine upgrade provided.[...]

Noted Chevrolet Camaro tuner, Lingenfelter, has never been bashful about its tuning programs for the American muscle car. That’s why these guys have come up with a pair of new tuning works for the Camaro as part of their Signature Series.

The first of these packages is the Signature Series 1, which features exterior upgrades, including a new hood, a modified grille, a new front spoiler, extended side skirts, a trunk-mounted spoiler, and a new set of 20" alloy wheels. As for the interior, the Camaro Signature Series 1 package comes with some fresh embroidered seats, aluminum pedals, and just to be sure that you’re owning one of these special edition bad boys, there’s also an individually-numbered plaque.

The second package, predictably called the Signature Series 2, is a lot more notable because on top of the aesthetic goodies it also comes with level 2 graphics, a set of exclusive 20" Lingenfelter forged alloy wheels, a Pedders performance suspension, Brembo brake calipers and rotors, and a Corsa stainless exhaust system. But the meal ticket of the Stage 2 upgrade is the massive performance juice up, highlighted by a Magnusson TVS2300 supercharger, a high-flow intake, and enlarged fuel injectors. The resulting engine upheaval takes the Camaro’s output all the way up to a in impressive 600 horsepower, an increase from the muscle car’s standard 426 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque output.[...]

Vorsteiner North America is quite famous for their amazing tuning kits offered for the coolest sports cars out there. One you might surely remember is the M3 GTS-V unveiled last year at the SEMA Show. And because sports car is what they like, Vorsteiner now focused on improving the appearance of the Ferrari 458 Italia. This time they only added a new set of wheels, but taking their history into consideration we expect an upgrade package pretty soon.

The sports car has received the tuners latest collection VS-130 Series that includes new super lightweight 5 spoke monoblock wheels. The new VS-130 design features lightweight spoke design utilizing the tuner’s latest spoke scalloping and undercutting technology in efforts to maximize strength to weight ratios.[...]

Prior Design has had another go at creating the most awesome R230 SL they could, probably their last one, since the new aluminum chassis R231 will soon make the legendary previous-generation roadster obsolete.

We've seen what they can do with the R230 in the past as well, but the new widebody kit also comes with better wheels and a fresh hood with fake vents and a bulge in the middle. In line with the recent trend, the paintjob has been changed to a Satin Metallic Grey, which might be a wrap ... [...]

BMW built the Z8 as the flagship of its roadster range between 2000 and 2003, and even though James Bond had one in the Pierce Brosnan era, the car never really caught one. Nowadays, you can still grab one for between €90,000 and say €190,000 if it's a real minter in the Alpina configuration.

Now Senner Tuning has upgraded one example, giving the 400 hp lump under the bonnet another 50 hp, thanks to a tuned exhaust, sports air filter. They've also targeted the appearance of this rar... [...]

A few days ago, British aftermarket company Prindiville Design was relaunched, with the developer aiming high by offering complex development packages for the Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 458 and Range Rover Evoque.

We're now back on the subject and we want to give you a video of the tuned Aventador. We'll remind you that the tuning package includes both tech and visual goodies, with the tuner insisting on cutting weight by making extensive use of carbon fiber (for the body) and titanium [...]

Five Axis was the first tuning company to come out with an upgrade package for the new generation Lexus GS, specifically the GS 350 F-Sport, but now Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) is getting in on the action with a full list of accessories for the GS. The package can be applied to both the GS 350 and GS 450h models, but buyers beware, it’s going to get expensive. For example, just a new set of wheels will run the customer $6,574.

Aside from the pricey wheels, TRD is offering a pretty impressive aero kit that includes a front under-spoiler, side skirts, a trunk spoiler, and a rear diffuser. Customers can also opt for a quad-exhaust sports muffler and a new set of 19" forged aluminum wheels that are lighter than the standard and help improve rigidity, contributing to the high dynamic performance and elegant comfort of the GS.[...]

The Porsche 911 is probably the most tuned cars in the world, so it's only natural that the new 991 generation is being offered more and more aftermarket developments and we're here to talk about the latest one.

German exhaust specialist Brombacher has created an exhaust system for both versions of the 911 (only the Carrera and the Carrera S have been launched so far), with the company recently releasing a video to showcase the goodies.

The stainless steel exhaust comes with 200 cell HD ca... [...]
