Although the Civic has lost over the years much of the tuning thunder it once had, Fox Marketing wants to prove otherwise.[...]

Underground Racing is known for its radical supercar tunes that include insanely high-powered creations such as the bi-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo.

In this latest video, Underground Racing shows off it immensely powerful Ferrari 458 Italia Twin Turbo that stomps out 700 rear-wheel horsepower on 93-octane pump gas going against a stock Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in an on-the-road drag race.[...]

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering is one of the best Camaro tuners in the world. So when you put that and the fact that the 2011 SEMA Auto Show is fast approaching, you really couldn’t have one without the other, right?

That’s precisely why Lingenfelter will be bringing a number of Camaros to SEMA with one being this L28 Camaro scheduled to compete at the 2011 OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational.

To get this Camaro in tip-top competition shape, the Lingenfelter Camaro comes packed with modifications, including a modified LPE LS7 engine that produces a walloping 681 horsepower at 6,700 rpm and 588 lb/ft of torque at 5,600 rpm, numbers that can easily be competitive without breaking a sweat. Adding to the new engine are plenty of LPE’s own goodies, including a dry sump oiling system, a dual disc clutch & flywheel, a power steering cooler, a twin fuel pump module with electronic control, American Racing headers, a Be Cool Radiator, and a custom side exit exhaust system from Magnaflow. The Camaro L28 also comes with an LPE 9.5" differential with 3.73 gears and a no pre-load TracRite GT helical gear limited slip out back with matching Driveshaft Shop HD 1400 horsepower axle shafts. The suspension set-up features an LPE/Pedders SportsRyder Supercar coil-over system, while LPE sway bars and a set of 20" Forgeline wheels complete the package.[...]

Lexus employees have barely finished buffing out the brand spanking new GS 350 F-Sport and there’s already a tuner prepared to debut the vehicle’s first tuning package. Through the eyes of Five Axis comes the Project GS F Sport with some aesthetic and mechanical updates to wow the SEMA showgoers.

The Project GS F-Sport is sparkling in a Glacier White exterior paint with custom Slate Gray accents to offset the unique Silver textured accents for the interior. The vehicle is then given a little attitude with a Five Axis widebody conversion kit and a new set of wheels - size 20x9.5" at front and 20x10.5" at rear - wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport tires.

The gleaming aesthetic changes are matched up with tools for better stability on the road. The Project GS F-Sport comes equipped with a new Stoptech Brake Kit with six-piston opposed calipers up front and four at the rear, an AirRunner TC-5 Air suspension system, and a custom fabricated exhaust with dual finishers by Five Axis for that clean engine sound. Speaking of the engine, Five Axis left the 3.5-liter V6 engine of the standard model untouched so owner will still be riding away using 306 HP.[...]

The SEMA Auto Show attracts tuning companies far and wide, stretching even across the pond to Germany, considered as the home of some of the most popular aftermarket companies in the world.

One tuning company that belongs on that list is DMC, which will travel all the way to Las Vegas to present their latest program for the Ferrari 458 Italia, called the ’458 Milano’, which they built in collaboration with Al & Ed’s of Hollywood.

Full details about the car have yet to be revealed and these photos of the car were actually taken during its official photoshoot in Los Angeles - and subsequently posted on their Facebook page - before heading over to the desert.

According to DMC, the program for the 458 Milano includes an extensive carbon fiber body kit, as well as added items like front flaps, side mirrors, and a rear diffuser. Speaking about the carbon fiber body kit, DMC made it known that the carbon bits on their program are miles better than anything that’s on the market these days.[...]

In its standard version, the Lexus IS 350C is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 306 HP, but at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show, VIP Auto Salon is going to show what the convertible is truly capable. Their new tuning package for the IS 350C will push out an additional 80 HP, as well as look exceptional good doing it.

The kit starts off right where we like it: the engine. VIP Auto Salon installed a power enterprise Rotex Supercharger kit by Apexi x VIP Auto Salon and a PTS Joe Z Series header back exhaust system to get a total output of 386 HP. The performance will undoubtedly be improved with this extra power, as well as the custom carbon fiber styling package including a front lip spoiler, side diffusers, rear diffusers, a rear trunk spoiler, eye lines, and a Seibon carbon fiber hood.[...]

Lexus has announced the real custom tuning projects by usual suspects Five Axis, Vip Auto Salon and JT Grey Racing.[...]

We were shocked to her that Nissan had already revealed the Juke-R, a monster that combines the smallest crossover body the make with the most powerful engine from the GT-R which is a sort of supercar that your grandmother could drive.

Now, we get to see what the engineers over at RML, who put the car together, had to go through in over to mate the heart of a supercar with the stubby body of something that's only slightly bigger than a hatchback.

The bad news is that the 3.8-liter only [...]
