Italian tuner takes the Fiat 500 back to its rear-engined roots with this Motore Centrale model based on the 500 Abarth.[...]

Making its debut at the Big Apple is a concept for a high-performance version of the Lexus CT 200h hybrid hatchback conceived and executed in partnership with Fox Marketing.

Starting with a production CT 200h, the tuner modified the 1.8-liter gasoline engine by adding an Eaton supercharger along with a Climax Racing intake manifold and a Yonaka air to water intercooler among other upgrades to push output to an estimated 300HP. Additionally, Fox Marketing said it has boosted the factory batter power, but did not provide further details.

 

>Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has never been shy when it comes to their packages for the Chevrolet Camaro. For these guys, it?s all about meat and muscle, and they?ll go through great lengths to pack whatever ounce of it they can put on the Chevy muscle car. Their latest project, one that comes with 800 horsepower, was proudly displayed at the 2011 Camaro5Fest in Chandler, California. Judging by what they?ve put on it, this Camaro is one hell of a doozy. Lingenfelter wanted to give the Camaro some mean power to with its bulging muscles. Thanks to a 7.0-liter V8 engine with twin GT30R turbochargers, the Camaro?s output was bumped all the way up to 800 horsepower with an 8.8:1 compression ratio. Aesthetically speaking, the Camaro will come with a new front-fascia splitter, rocker extensions, a new bonnet with its own air inlet, a rear deck lip and spoiler, a new rear fascia extension, Lingenfelter badging, and a set of 20? Nitto tires on the front and back. Inside, the car gets a new custom steering wheel with a fancy rear view mirror with its own video display. There are also CNC-machined pedal covers to go with an embroidered interior.[...]

It?s 1984 and you?re a wealthy individual looking to spend some dough. Clearly the run of the mill BMW or Audi is not going to do the trick so you start looking into the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach. Both were the fastest sports cars of their day and since price is not a concern to you, the only thing that matters is making the best impression on your other rich friends. The thing is, your next door neighbor has a red Testarossa and you see your business partner pull up and squeeze out of his tiny Lamborghini every morning. You need something special. Enter the Hammer.

The W124 Mercedes-Benz is a classically proportioned luxury saloon. The three-box shape, with its clearly defined lines, looks so simple and pure compared to the edgier, more obviously styled lines of its E 63 AMG relative. AMG’s detailing was remarkably low key, especially for the 1980?s. This is going to be a perfect fit for your lifestyle and you can even haul the kids in the back seat if you had too. Can the Merc really hold its own against the Italian thoroughbred racing machines?[...]

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter V8 engine has been outfitted with a supercharger that enables it to produce 540 hp (403 kW / 548 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque.[...]

In the process of rebuilding their tuning empire after the devastating loss of Gemballa founder, Uwe Gemballa, the company has arrived at the 2011 Top Marques Monaco with two new packages: the Tornado based on the new Cayenne and the 2011 Mistrale based on the Panamera sedan. Both models are defined by the most impressive design, cutting edge technology and the finest materials.

For the Mistrale, Gemballa is offering two stages of engine updates. In stage one, the twin-turbo V8 engine has been tuned to deliver 610 HP and a peak torque of 626 lbs-ft. Stage two takes power to a more incredible 700 HP and 737 HP. This significant output is achieved through the use of larger turbochargers, a modified intake system, high efficiency intercoolers, sports exhaust, free-flow catalytic converters and bespoke ECU remapping.[...]
