While the brand with four rings is working on giving us the hybrid version of the Q5, Audi's SUV is targeted by aftermarket specialists who want to give it a special touch of their own. So is the case with the tuners at Kahn Design, the same who have given us the upgrade packages for the German SUV's bigger sibling, the Q7.

Now they have taken the middle brother and tweaked it pretty much everywhere... and so the Audi Q5 S-Line was born.

New pictures of the Audi Q7 pickup have surface online leading to speculation that this is an official concept.[...]

With all the tuning programs being added to the BMW 1-Series M Coupe, it seemed a little odd that AC Schnitzer - one of the best BMW tuners on the planet - still hadn’t come out with anything for the baby M. Turns out, they were just waiting for the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show to introduce their first project for the 1-Series M Coupe. While there doesn’t appear to be any performance improvements done on the car, AC Schnitzer’s package offers plenty of visual enhancements, as well as new suspension and brake set-ups.

Visually speaking, the package offers aerodynamic upgrades that include a new front lip, a new rear diffuser, a roof spoiler, a chromed front grille, and a new set of light alloy wheels that can be had in a variety of sizes and designs. Inside the car, AC Schnitzer also added plenty of new details consisting of a leather gear shift cover, an illuminated leather gear knob with a digital display, an aluminum "Black Line" gear knob, an aluminum handbrake handle, pedal set, foot rest, and velour floor mats.[...]

Project Veneto by SR Auto Group started its life as a "simple" Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce. It probably had no idea that once the head honchos in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy were finished with its design, a tuning firm like SR Auto Group would swoop in and make it look like Barney.

The LP670-4 SuperVeloce is the ultimate Murcielago, so to change something like its exterior color is the most simplistic way to ruin the elegance of the vehicle. SR Auto Group sees it differently. The tuner stated, "Within a short timeframe, Project Veneto was dressed in a brand new outfit. Just like fashion, the purpose is to create stunning pieces that have all eyes locked. Project Veneto is vivid, strong, edgy, and most of all unique."[...]

Ever noticed how metallic brown is making a comeback? Porsche is definitely doing it in the stock world, but Senner Tuning is clearly also in love with the earthy tone. They've go a brownish Audi A1, an A5 Cabrio and now even an SUV.

We are of course talking about the latest project, which targets Audi's Q5, bringing style and performance to the middle child of the Q family. The company has specifically modified the 2.0-liter TDI version of the car, which has been boosted from average diesel ... [...]

German tuner dials up power on the 2.0 liter TDI Q5 while widening the SUV with wings housing 22-inch wheels.[...]

Banking on the success of its new 500 hatch, Fiat plans to enhance the small car's range with a variety of new models within the next two years according to Autoweek.

 

The first new addition to arrive in North America is the Abarth, the sportiest version of Fiat?s city car that's already available in Europe. The Abarth 500 is powered by a highly-tuned 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 180HP and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque.[...]

If you have a Lamborghini Gallardo, let alone one that’s been tuned to produce 1,250 wheel horsepower by Underground Racing, it’s pretty understandable if you have a passenger that will be on the edge of his or her seat for the duration of the ride.

Take for example the mother of Robert, the man behind the wheel of this break-neck Gallardo. While she wasn’t as hysterical as past mommies have been when their sons take them for the ride of their lives, there’s still plenty of "Oh my Gods!" to chuckle about.

Nevermind that this mom looks every bit of a stunner for someone whose kid owns a Gallardo, but that’s besides the point. The whole point is that videos like this never seem to get old to us. For all the shrieking and cursing that goes on inside the car speeding well past the speed limit, there’s that sense of delight and satisfaction that comes with seeing moms riding shotgun on a high-powered supercar while praying to the Lord Almighty for their son to slow "the hell down".[...]
