The crew over at Senner Tuning have pointed their guns on the pre-facelift Audi S5 Sportback with the release of a new package that aims to improve both the performance and styling aspects of Ingolstadt's liftback model.

Underhood, the S5's 3.0-liter TSI V6 gains a software optimization, a new air filter and a custom exhaust system, all of which do their part to lift output from 333HP and 440Nm to 445-horses and 530Nm (390.9 lb-ft) of peak torque.[...]

Project Kahn is a British tuner that is proud of its collaborations with English partners, with one of the most important relations of this kind being created with Cosworth back in 2008. Now the aftermarket developer is planing to maker a special appearance, together with its partner at the Ford RS Owners Club national day.

The event, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday 18th September at Donington Park in Derby, will see Project Kahn showcase the RS2000 range of lightweight alloy rims,...[...]

This is not a piece of news but of advice: in case you're planning any activity that involves running away from the police, forget it! Why? Because you might end up trying to outrun a Range Rover Sport with a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that's been tuned by Project Kahn.

The British aftermarket developer has prepared a complete list of modifications, covering every area of the SUV. Dubbed Swiss Edition, the project an be distinguished by its black and white hood and 22-inch RS lightweight alloy... [...]

German tuning company, Alpina, has created a new program based on the BMW 5-Series which they’re calling the D5 Bi-Turbo. Comprised mostly of performance modifications, the D5 Bi-Turbo features a re-tuned version of the car’s original 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six diesel engine that produces an improved output of 345 horsepower. Count that up compared to the standard output of 245 horsepower and that’s an improvement of 100 ponies.

 

What’s more fascinating about Alpina’s program is that the company was able to manipulate the car’s fuel system to generate the same fuel-efficiency rating for the D5 Bi-Turbo - 6.2 liters/100 km, 37.9 mpg - with the BMW 530d. That may not look all that impressive, but considering the fact that the latter only produces 240 horsepower, you’ll be able to piece together exactly why that’s something worth your attention.[...]

 In general, German tuners aren't known for their restraint in the visual department and Anderson Germany's latest take on the Porsche Panamera Turbo is no exception to the rule.

 If you're looking for a subtle makeover, you may as well skip this post altogether because Anderson Germany has gone wild with its cosmetic proposal. The tuning firm starts by wrapping the Panamera sports saloon in a matte red vinyl cover.[...]

The tuning world has amazing ways, ways that have made a 1000 hp car seem normal. Well, guess what? another 1000 whp (wheel horsepower) project comes our way now. This time, the output obsessed guys over at Underground Racing have been playing with an Audi R8 V10.

The German supercar's 5.2-liter V10 engine has received twin turbochargers (and a chromed engine bay) in order to deliver the aforementioned muscle.

In order to make sure that everybody understands what such a car can do, Undergr... [...]

Renntech needs no introduction; they’re works on Mercedes vehicles speak for themselves. That’s why it doesn’t really strike us as different when the US-based tuning company comes out with a new program for the German automaker.

One of the most popular programs the company has is their new widebody conversion kit for the C63 AMG. It’s drawn immediate praise from a lot of people from all over the world, even as far as Russia. All of this popularity and the Mercedes doesn’t even get any performance upgrades. This we just had to see.

As far as Renntech’s widebody kit for C63 AMG is concerned, it comes with plenty of bold styling, refined aerodynamics, increased down force, and improved handling, thanks in large part to an extensive widebody conversion kit on the front and rear, as well as a new rear diffuser package with end tips.[...]

German tuner creates its own hybrid system for a powerful yet frugal E-Class with a range of 120 km (75 miles) on electric power alone.[...]

Daimler and Renault-Nissan have extended their part-sharing agreement, which means that Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division, will use Mercedes-Benz's MFA (modular front architecture) small vehicle platfrom (this is the architecture used by the second-generation B-Class) for a future MPV that is scheduled to go on sale in 2014, as autocar reports.

The MPV was previewed by the Etherea concept, which came to the world at last year's Geneva Auto Show. The vehicle was originally destined for the Eu... [...]
