You would think that a surge in tuning programs over the past month would be enough for an aftermarket company to slow down, relax, and enjoy the spoils of its new products.

But some companies, like Wheelsandmore, don’t believe in the concept of being idle. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t take them long enough to get back to work, as shown by its newest aftermarket project.

This one is for the Mercedes E63 AMG S-Model and it has since been fitted with the German tuner’s popular "Seven-11" program.

As is always the case when it comes to a Wheelsandmore program, the aftermarket company doesn’t like wasting time building programs for cars that only went on sale a few months ago. That’s the case with the E63 AMG S-Model, a vehicle Mercedes touted as a suitable replacement for its former AMG Performance Package.[...]

When Saleen promised a major reveal this weekend at Laguna Seca, speculation ran rampant that a successor to the mighty S7 was waiting to be introduced.

Well, we didn’t get that, which is a tad disappointing, but what we did get was an equally surprising announcement in the form of the Saleen Heritage Collection, a limited edition series of specially designed muscle cars that pays tribute to the top five drivers that raced in the Mission Bell race at Riverside International Raceway back in October 1970.

The first two vehicles of this Heritage collection were actually released a few years ago - the Saleen Parnelli Jones Ediiton and the Dan Gurney Edition - and now, the next three will be dropped in succeeding order beginning with the unveiling of the Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang, followed by the Mark Donohue Edition Camaro, and the Swede Savage Edition Barracuda.[...]

Galpin Auto Sports pulled back the tight black car cover today on the eagerly anticipated 2013 Galpin GTR1 hypercar. Sitting on the grass of Pebble Beach right next to McLaren and across from Ferrari, the GTR1 has some big shoes to fill this weekend. Luckily, it’s a futuristic rocket of a supercar with a carbon-fiber shell over a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged V-8 producing 1,024 horsepower.

Yessir, you read that right. And that is the conservative range of possibilities, with race gas taking the power count well past 1,200 horsepower. The original quoted number is the most elegant however, as it matches this exotic beauty’s $1,024,000 price tag. $1,000 per horsepower seems fair looking at the slinky GTR1 in the sunshine.[...]

Kahn Design has revealed the styling of their latest Land Rover Defender 90 up-fit, which includes a comprehensive exterior and interior makeover and the Chelsea Wide Track name. The Kahn personalization options list is immense, with near limitless combinations of paints, tweeds and leathers to camouflage this classic off-road machine in urban war paint.

Ever the victim of aggressive personalization, the Defender is still trendy because of how impractical and hilariously uncomfortable it is to drive. The mechanicals for Kahn’s extreme makeover stay the same as the stock model, aside from some light engine enhancements to the 2.2-liter turbo diesel and of course the giant wheel/tire/spring package.

These vehicles are part of a new co-branding effort between Kahn Design and the Chelsea Truck Company. Forming what must be the most absurdly wordy name in history, the truck is best referred to as the Chelsea Defender. Offered in the 90 or 110-inch body styles, the Chelsea Defender offers some tasteful and some not-so-tasteful ways for customers to part with their cash.[...]

When you have a car that’s already considered the most powerful sedan in the world, it seems that some people would think that any additional performance upgrade is just overkill.

But don’t tell that to GAD-Motors because it has a habit of doing just that. And no, we don’t belong in that group who believes that more power equates to less appeal. In fact, we skew more toward the opposite train of thought.

The Mercedes C63 AMG-based Brabus Bullit already packs a whopping 720 horsepower under its hood. That’s a lot, by any stretch of the imagination.

But in all its awesomeness, GAD-Motors wants more out of the Bullit and like the enterprising aftermarket company that it is, the tuner went and did just that, fitting the Bullit with an assortment of performance modifications, including upgrades to the turbochargers and intercoolers to go with a new custom air box and new injectors. The result, believe it or not, is a C-Class that packs a whopping 894 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque.[...]

Last week, I saw a number of stories across the web suggesting this was a brand new tuning pack for the VW Beetle from German tuning firm ABT. However, I knew ABT is usually the first to tune a new VW, the new Bug being a 2012 model, plus there already was a previous story with the exact same picture dating back to August 3rd, 2012. So, what this actually i... [...]

Back in the late 1950s, Ford and GM found a new niche to battle upon - the 2-door coupe utility segment. It all started with the Custom-based Ford Ranchero in 1957 and it became a full-size duel when GM introduced the Chevrolet El Camino. They’re quite popular today, especially those muscly 1970s Chevelle-based El Caminos and, if we may add, we wouldn’t say no to a 1967 Ford Fairlane-based Ranchero. But how about an Eu... [...]

The most unloved BMW of the current generation is a bad car to look at and a nice crossover vehicle to live with. The Chinese seem to like the 5 Series Gran Turismo more than Europeans do, probably because they don't have to care about heritage and all that. We've just received word of another 5 Series Gran Turismo tuning project, this time from Hong Kong. Our favorite wrappers sent word out that they've completely a cool m... [...]

Ford Racing Performance Parts has announced the introduction of new front brakes upgrade for the 2013 and 2014 model year Shelby GT500, which includes 15-inch rotors and 6-piston calipers. The new package, which is an improvement over last year’s release, includes a pre-assembled brake rotor hat, all necessary hardware for installation and saves 10 pounds of unsprung mass compared to the factory one-piece rotors. &l...

Up to this point, there aren’t a lot of Lamborghini Avenatador programs that can match wits with what DMC did with its Molto Veloce kit. You can make a case for Mansory, but the Swiss tuner is mostly an outlier in the tuning business.

Now, it looks like SR Auto Group has one that can give DMC Tuning a run for its money. Using the iconic LIberty Walk body kit from Japan, SR Auto Group was able to give the Aventador the kind of sinister aftermarket work that only makes what’s already a beastly looking exotic even more intimidating.

The two-tone finish given to the Aventador, courtesy of the LIberty Walk body kit, can’t be understated because the complementary shades add even more aggressiveness to the Lambo supercar.[...]
