Novitec Rosso has unveiled the Ferrari California-based Race 606, which features a supercharged 4.3-liter V8 engine.[...]

 

 

Novitec Rosso has been around the block with the Ferrari California a few times, but this latest tuning kit from the German firm is that much more impressive than the last package they put together. Well, technically, it’s the same package with more and more being added with every new decision made. The new package is called the Race 606 and gets the same engine conversion, but many new carbon fiber body parts.

For the engine conversion, the tuner is offering a compressor system that consists of a mechanical supercharger driven by the crankshaft via a cogged V-belt, a flap-controlled NOVITEC ROSSO high-performance exhaust system with sport catalysts, and newly calibrated engine electronics. The result is an increase from the standard 460 HP to an impressive 606 HP and a sprint from 0 to 60 mph made in 3.8 seconds. The Ferrari also won’t stop until it hits 202mph.[...]

 

 

We use to fool ourselves into thinking that vehicles such as the gloriously beautiful Ferrari 458 Italia didn’t need any type of upgrade or styling modification whatsoever. Then tuner upon tuner proved us incredibly wrong with their packages for the sports car, and one more tuner is about to do the same. German tuner, Wheelsandmore, has added minor touches to the Ferrari to optimize its appeal and make 458 Italia lovers like us become that much more enamored with it.

Thanks to a weight optimized, handcrafted high-end exhaust system with valve flaps and manifolds, plus an ecu upgrade, the V8 engine’s power has been increased from 570 HP to an impressive 620 HP, with a peak torque increase of about 100 lbs-ft to a total of 498 lbs-ft. The result is a 0 to 60 mph sprint made in about 3.32 seconds. The package also includes a new set of 21’ forged multipiece wheels 6Sporz² in size 9.0 x 21 at the front and 12.5 x 21 inch at the rear wearing 245/30/21 and 345/25/21 Hankook high performance tires.[...]

 

 

We had to wait long enough for Audi to release their much-anticipated A7 Sportback, but thankfully, we didn’t have to wait as long for tuning firms to whip it into shape with some customized packages. We’ve already seen makeovers from Abt Sportsline and MTM, but the name of this next package promises to take the Audi to the next level of cool. Pogea Racing is bringing out the Seven Sins package for the 3.0 TDI and 3.0 TFSI versions of the A7 which boasts of exterior and interior modifications, as well as some pretty cool engine updates.

For the 3.0 TDI version, the tuner is offering a software optimization that increases the output from 204 to 251 Hp and the peak torque from 400 to 468 Nm. For the models equipped with S-Tronic, the power has been increased from 245 to 289 HP and the peak torque soars from 500 to 555 Nm.[...]

 

 

Underground Racing is no stranger to tuning up high-powered supercars and making them even more, well, powerful. Sounds a little like going a tad too overboard, doesn?t it? But when it comes to pure speed and unadulterated power, there are just people that can?t have enough of it. Granted, there?s always a cap for what is considered fast and what is considered dangerous, but these guys seem to be able to walk that very thin line carefully without compromising safety.

Having said that, the US-based tuning firm?s take on the Ferrari F430 Spider is nothing short of remarkable. They may have left the exterior and interior untouched during the process, but with engine work as intricate and amazing as what they have done, who cares that they didn’t change the look? The F430 Spider is gorgeous as it is anyway.[...]

The pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG is the object of MR Car Design's latest tuning program. The exterior kit for the hardtop roadster model includes a lightweight carbon fiber hood from Kicherer, smoked up turn signals all around and the rear diffuser from the newer 2009MY SL 65 AMG. A set of shiny 20-inch alloy wheels from Carlsson and[...]

German tuner Novitec Rosso (they're from Stetten) has supercharged many a Ferrari. So imagine the look on your trophy wife's kisser when she inadvertently lays a 100-foot long stretch of rubber in the Nordstrom's lot in her Ferrari California.[...]

If you have a Land Rover or Range Rover and you?re in the market for a tuning company that offers some of the best body kits for these SUVs, you won?t find one that can do it better than Project Khan. Known everywhere as a tuner that specializes on the British SUV brand, Project Khan has continuously rolled out refreshed models of Land Rovers and Range Rovers for quite some time now. And the best part about it is that these guys aren?t slowing down anytime soon.

While there doesn?t appear to be any overwhelming differences from all their previous works, Project Khan?s refreshed body kit for the Range Rover Vogue 4.4 Diesel RS450 does have its own set of aesthetic goodies. For starters, the exterior comes with a new front bumper that comes with ?3D mesh inserts?, fog lamps, and LED lights. There’s also a fresh front grille, RS side skirts, a revised rear bumper with a diffuser, a modified stainless steel exhaust system with four exhaust tips, and a set of 22? Kahn RSX alloys round out the exterior package of the RS450.[...]

If you have been following our previous posts on the various Land Rover and Range Rover models tuned by Project Kahn, you may have noticed that they all look eerily similar. And, while there?s nothing wrong with being consistent, we can?t shake the feeling that some different mods would be beneficial. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen with the[...]

 

 

We haven’t heard from Piecha Design in quite awhile - 2009 to be exact - since they made over the Mercedes SLK, but it seems they have moved on to the bigger side of Mercedes with a new tuning package for the Mercedes M-Class and GL-Class. Their package is called the Evorian RS and includes impressive exterior and interior updates.

The exterior package of the Evorian RS is defined by impressive LED day headlights integrated into the front spoiler corners, LEDs embedded in the side sills (4 per side), high-gloss chrome aerowings, and a Quadro-4-tube exhaust conversion that includes two chrome-plated double-tube end pieces. The package is finished by 22" dp1-CC Silver light metal wheel rims in three-part style with their high-gloss polished stainless steel bases[...]
