Less than month after ABT announced its plans to unveil its tuning take on the new Audi A7 Sportback at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, the Volkswagen Group specialist has shared the first photos and details on its available packages.

Staying true to the fact that they have become the official supplier for ECU upgrades, aero kits, brakes, exhaust systems, and a few other modifications for Saab models on the US market, Hirsch Performance has unveiled one of the projects they have been working on. The Saab 9-3 sedan by Hirsch Performance has been unveiled at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show featuring some pretty impressive little extras on it interior and exterior.

The specific model revealed at the show received a 30 HP upgrade, but that is only one of the options provided by Hirsch. Crack open a Saab 9-3 with a 2.8 Turbo V6 engine and Hirsch can pump it up to 300hp (up from 276 HP). Other engine setups can get updates from 140hp to 300hp.[...]

Everyone in the auto industry is anxiously awaiting the Geneva Motor Show due to the growing number of cool cars and concepts being displayed for the approval of the beauty- and function-seeking car aficionados everywhere. One of the cars waiting for its time to shine is a unique vehicle that will surely steal the spotlight from all of the other cars on the show floor. No, we are not talking about another special edition from Lotus or the expected Evora facelift, but a - dare we say - tuned-up version of the Lotus Evora. The lucky one chosen to perform such a never-before-seen feat is the well-known and extravagant tuning firm, Mansory.[...]

 

 

The very first aftermarket package for the Audi A7 was recently brought to everyone’s attention courtesy of tuning firm, MTM, but it certainly didn?t take long for other tuning companies to follow suit and prepare their own versions of Audi goodness. This time around, the Audi A7 gets aerodynamic and performance upgrades from another German tuning company, and one that is no stranger to working on Audis, Abt Sportsline.

Having built a reputation as one of the best Audi tuners in the world, Abt Sportsline took the A7 and created a luxury car that?s more polished, more powerful, and looks about as good as anything that has come out of Abt Sportsline in the past.[...]

Mastering the fine art of tuning is a complicated process and, judging by the sheer number of overkills one can see on the web every day, it?s clear that only a few have what it takes to do a good job.
