The Golf GTI offers plenty of sensibleness mixed in with the power of a hothatch, but if you want buckets of sensibleness, than the Octavia RS is your best choice. While not as well known across the world as the VW, Skoda's go-fast sedan has a stable following in Europe.

Skoda tuning specialists Milotec have come up with something for the fans - a cosmetic and performance package.
On the performance side of things, MIlotec has created a new exhaust system that's supposed to bump power by 5 p... [...]

The second generation of the Octavia is one of the more successful models to come out of the Volkswagen ? Skoda partnership. And in RS form, the Octavia is perhaps one of the finest proposals in the family car segment for those looking to trade in some the VW Golf GTi's performance and handling attributes for more space and increased practicality without breaking their budget.

While not as popular as the GTI in the aftermarket scene, there's a selection of tuners that offer plenty of upgrades for the Octavia RS, which is available in Europe with a choice of two powerplants, a 2.0-liter TFSI petrol producing 200-horses, and a 2.0-liter TDI diesel with 170-ponies.[...]

Following the launch of a full performance and styling package for the Audi A1, Germany's Senner Tuning is now offering a standalone set for the premium supermini fitted with the factory S-Line kit.

The tuner's package comprises of a new rear apron made out of glass-fiber-reinforced polymeric material FGPC and new 90-mm tailpipes on either side instead of the twin outlets on the left side of the bumper.[...]

The Porsche Cayenne is such a spoiled child. Imagine how it is to constantly receive new aftermarket gifts from all parts of the world, with this also bringing you into the spotlights over and over again.

Case in point: Vorsteiner is previewing a new modification package for the 958 (current generation) Cayenne. We are talking about an aerodynamic package that uses the V-CT designation, including a front fascia, side skirt extensions, a rear bumper that includes a diffuser, as well as a roof ... [...]

Compared to the BMW M3, the new 3-Series is a little, shall we say, vanilla on the design aspect. But even if you share the same sentiments on the latter, German tuning company Prior Design has come up with a new aerodynamic wide body kit that can add some sizzle to the 3-Series’ design, turning it into something that has a little ’M’ flavor to it.

The kit was designed for the 3-Series E90 and it includes various body kit parts, including a new bonnet, a redesigned and aggressive front bumper, new front fenders, aggressive side skirts, a new rear apron, a redesigned trunk, and an integrated rear spoiler. Another addition to Prior Design’s body kit are the new side mirrors, which have been designed to replicate those found on the M3.[...]

Dubbed the V-CT, the aerodynamic body kit has a new front bumper, extended side skirts and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.[...]

There’s something about the Nissan Juke that just stirs up animated discussions. Whether its the funkier-than-usual design or its rather impressive performance capabilities, a lot of us in the industry have strong opinions about Nissan’s quirky crossover.

If you’re Nissan, all these discussions can only be good press for the Juke and if you want to stoke the proverbial flames, why not up the ante by building a one-off creation that places the powertrain of Nissan’s Godzilla sports car - the GT-R - inside the Juke.

You read that right, folks. A GT-R-powered Juke. Let the discussion begin.

The car is going to be called the Juke-R, which took its name from the GT-R-sourced twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 powertrain it’s set to have. The Juke-R is expected to produce the same 520-horsepower output as that of the GT-R. Based on the sketches Nissan has released of the one-off car, it appears that the Juke-R will also feature some aerodynamic modifications, including sport flared fenders, a new front splitter, a new rear diffuser, and a new set of wheels, tires, and brakes.[...]

Vorsteiner has developed a new set of rims based on its V-104 Momoblock, with the result, named VS-340 Concave, being a three-piece goodie designed specifically for Aston Martin.

The tuning company optimized the design for Aston in order to maximize wheel concavity, offering a special visual impression.

The offsets and fittment have been tweaked for an Aston Martin with a set of H&R lowering springs, taking into account camber adjustments and a ground clearance that doesn't affect drivabil...[...]

Ladies and gentlemen, the run-up to the 2011 SEMA show this November is on its last two weeks and we’re already getting a lot of fresh reveals leading up to it. Oddly enough, a lot of what we’ve been getting over the past few days have centered around projects on a certain Korean automaker - that being Hyundai. The latest project to come out of the shops and into the stage comes from no less than Enjuku Racing.

For those who don’t know, Enjuku Racing is more popularly known for their participation in Formula Drift, but they also have the find hands for aftermarket projects, which is exactly what they did to this Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

The SEMA-bound Genesis Coupe is being fitted with a room full of new elements, including a modified chassis, BC Racing BR-Type coilovers, custom headers, a new exhaust system, and a set of 19" BC Racing TA02 wheels. Most importantly, Enjuku Racing transplanted supercharged LS1 powertrain to take the place of the Genesis Coupe?s existing all-aluminum, 306-horsepower, DOHC 3.8-liter V6 engine.[...]

In an industry where tuning programs happen far more often than we can count, there are still some projects that are bound to surprise. Like, say, this Porsche Panamera Turbo S whose interior has been dressed up unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

Already boasting of TopCar’s Stingray GTR wide bodykit and a flashy set of ADV.1 wheels, the interior of this Panamera was taken to a whole new level with solid gold and genuine crocodile leather. Take a look at the photos of the interior and you’ll see the extensive detail given to it. Some poor crocodile contributed to the dash dressed in its leather while a number of items inside, including the pedals, the knobs, and the transmission are all made from gold.[...]
