Lamborghini Gallardo by ENCOENCO Exclusive has unveiled a new styling and performance package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4.
The German-based tuner offers a variety of carbon fiber exterior components such as a front bumper (€2990), a boot cover (€3990), a front splitter (€990), and aggressive side skirts (€3990). Other goodies include a carbon fiber laminate for the rear diffuser, mirrors and boot lid vents (€4000) as well as a matt black foil wrap (€3000).
Inside, ENCO offers faux carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel, central console, dashboard, handbrake, and door handles (€5000).
If you find all this a tad vulgar, you might want to check out ENCO's performance package for the 5.2-liter V10. While details are limited, it enables the engine to produce 620 hp and 575 Nm of torque (instead of 560 hp and 540 of torque).

Ford GT by GeigerGeigerCars has unveiled their new performance package for the Ford GT.
Dubbed the Geiger HP 790, the package features a larger 4.0-liter compressor (up from the stock 2.3-liter unit), new throttle valves, a sports air filter, improved cooling systems, and revised engine electronics. Thanks to these changes, the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 produces 790 horsepower and 863 Nm of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 9.6 seconds, and 0-300 km/h (0-186 mph) in 22.8 seconds. If you keep your foot planted, you'll eventually hit the car's top speed of 360 km/h (224 mph).
Other performance tweaks include a specially-developed coilover suspension (which reduces the ride height by 60mm), a sports exhaust system with two 110mm tail pipes, and massive matt black wheels (9x20 front, 11x21 rear) outfitted with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires.
As you may recall, Geiger's original tuning package for the Ford GT (with a 3.3-liter compressor) produced 701 bhp (523kW) and 837 Nm of torque. It ran from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds (0.1 seconds faster than the HP 790) and hit a top speed 340 km/h (211 mph).

Porsche GT2 Wimmer RSWimmer RS has unveiled their bi-turbo Porsche 911 GT2 Speed.
Based on the standard 997 GT2, the Speed features two Wimmer turbochargers and revisions to the engine block, pistons, connecting rods, injector nozzles, sports camshafts, inlet system, and throttle valve. Wimmer also installs an intercooler, replaces the engine software, and adds a specially tuned performance exhaust system.
Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces a staggering 827 horsepower and 948 Nm of torque.

Corvette C6 by LOMA PerformanceGerman tuner Loma-Performance have announced their latest tuning package for the C6 Corvette. Inspired by the United States' Air Force One Boeing 747, Loma have dubbed this vehicle "C6.BlackforceOne." The aircraft theme continues as the C6.blackforceOne is available in Stealth matt black, Eurofighter matt grey and White Storm matt white.
Based on the standard C6, BlackforceOne adds 10cm of width to each side for a menacing stance. This is accomplished with carbon fibre wheel arch extensions and carbon fibre side skirts. Elsewhere, Loma has constructed also in carbon fibre a front lip spoiler and rear diffuser with integrated LED reverse lights. A rear spoiler with a carbon fibre finish can also be added.
With aggressive styling and such a notorious name, substantial power output is expected of the C6. As a result, Loma has put together a bi-turbo engine conversion exclusive to the BlackforceOne. Although shy on the details, the conversion produces 794 PS at the crank translating into 675 PS at the wheels but not without some careful drive-line re-engineering. Loma started with a careful blueprinting of the transmission to handle all that power going to the rear axle. Loma also installed their own carbon fibre sports clutch and carbon fibre drive shafts plus a LOMA Cup Sport Superlight exhaust system.
The sprint to 100km/h takes 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 330km/h (205mph). Although further performance specs were not provided, Loma states that top speed is an overrated status symbol and believes in strong acceleration in all situations as the main goal. The engineering of the C6.BlackforceOne has been adjusted accordingly to meet this guiding principle.
Fitted beneath is a coilover suspension and adjustable stabilisers bars running down to 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels wrapped in 275/30R19 and 335/25R20 Michelin Sport Cup high performance tyres. Braking comes from carbon fibre/ceramic brake units from Mov'it which weigh 15.5 kilograms less on the front axle and 10 kilograms less on the rear axle than ZO6 brakes.
The interior receives carbon fibre door panels while sections of the cockpit are covered with Alcantara. 300 different types of leather are available.
The C6.BlackforceOne starts at 190,000 euros for a complete vehicle. Production is limited to 25 vehicles. Public debut will be at the Essen Motor Show

Porsche Panamera Turbo by SpeedARTIn preparation for the Essen Motor Show, SpeedART has finally released real photos of their Porsche Panamera Turbo based PS9-650 tuning package.  Previously, SpeedART kindly teased us with design sketches and then details.
As the name implies, the PS9-650 features 650 hp and 890 Nm of torque thanks to bigger turbos and intercoolers, sport air filter, a sport exhaust system (with switch valve volume control), sport catalytic converters, and to really tweak those new turbos, a reprogrammed ECU. Acceleration from 0-62 mph comes in 3.5 seconds, continuing onto a top speed in excess of 200 mph. If 650 hp is too spicy for you, SpeedART also offers medium, mild and bland performance packages that allow the engine to produce 600, 550 and 520 hp.
In the styling/aerodynamic department, the PS9 is outfitted with a front chin spoiler, hood vents, a rear diffuser with integrated exhaust pipe holes, a rear hatch spoiler, modified rear bumper (with air outlets), and aggressive side skirts. Other design details include 22-inch three-piece 'LSC FORGED' wheels and the aforementioned sport exhaust system (available in polished stainless steel or matt black).
For the interior, SpeedART added a sport steering wheel with F1-shift paddles (which can be outfitted with aluminum-, wood- or carbon fiber inlays), carbon fiber trim, contrast stitching on the door panels and seats, revised instrument dials, and exclusive floor mats.
The SpeedART Panamera SP9-650 will have its public debut at the Essen Motor Show from Nov 27 -  Dec 12 in hall 11, stand 203.

Bentley Continental GT by VorsteinerThe BR9 edition based on the Bentley Continental GT/Speed Series consists of a 5-Piece lightweight aerodynamic package that is constructed with our high tech vacuum bagged dry carbon fiber technology.
Upfront our designers started with a full replacement front bumper cover that houses a larger and taller air inlet ducting in conjuction with a replaceable carbon fiber lower chin spoiler to optimize downforce & airflow.
The all-new BR9 front bumper sits 39mm lower than the original factory bumper and exudes its powerful & confident presence on the road.
Matching the new lower stance of the BR9 front bumper a full length side skirt attachment was created which utlizes a carbon fiber sill extension that improves aerodynamics & downforce at high speeds.
The BR9 carbon fiber rear bumper also sits 35mm lower than the original factory bumper accentuating its new aggressive sports car like stance. The BR9 lightweight rear bumper houses a racy integrated carbon fiber rear diffuser with built in dual racing fins that sits in between the oval tail pipes.
Finally the rear end of the BR9 is completed with an elegant yet functional carbon fiber deck lid spoiler attachment to balance the additional downforce of the front end.
All of the carbon fiber aero components are individually hand made by our master trained technicians and can be ordered in a choice of glossy or matte finish carbon fiber.
An optional 22inch Forged Aluminum Monoblock Mesh wheel code named the V-101 is also offered along with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tires.
The wheels are an optional add-on to the BR9 aero package that can be custom painted or powder coated to the customers desired finish specifications.
Our designers & engineers worked hard in creating a complete package that would not take away from the beautiful lines of the factory body but rather focusing on methods to enhance it. We wanted to offer our Bentley customers something that was classy and sports coupe like and we feel we have accomplished this goal.
I'm not pretty sure if there is anything like promotion code for things like this but I will surely look around.

Porsche 997 Turbo by 9ffGerman tuner 9ff is set to present their second independent complete vehicle at the Essen Motor Show next weekend. Based on the potent 997 Turbo, the 9ff Speed9 pays homage to the Porsche 356/ 1500S Speedster of 1955 and features a number of modifications that give it more power and handling prowess.
9ff is a bit shy with the details, but for the body the windshield has been shortened and the rear hump that houses the folding roof has been replaced with a flat hard cover for that speedster "level vehicle silhouette" look.
The bi turbo engine pushes out 478kW (650hp) and 890Nm at 2,850rpm. Engineers used a sports air filter, upgraded the ECU, installed a 9ff sports exhaust system including a new sports catalytic converter to achieve these results. It is driven by a Tiptronic gearbox with integrated paddles.
Improved handling will come from adjustable stabilisers on the front and rear axles, double springs and four aluminium spring plates. To stop it dead on its tracks is a 9ff brake system consisting of 380mm "compound" brake discs, 6-piston calipers and 9ff brake pads.
The aerodynamic package includes a front apron, side skirts and a rear apron. The interior boasts an alcantara dashboard, special 9ff Speed9 sports seats and a sports steering wheel. Most of the other bits and pieces can be customised to the buyer's wishes.
Hopefully 9ff will also release performance figures when unveiling the car.

Mercedes ML 63 AMG by VÄTHOne of the most powerful ML 63 AMG comes from VÄTH Automobiltechnik. This fast vehicle with up to 300 km/h is being built on the ML 63 AMG base in Hösbach. The heart of this high-performance SUV is VÄTH 6.3 liters 585 HP engine with sensational 690 Nm.
In order to give the powerful engine its desired serviceability many engine parts have been substituted. The engine has enlarged countersunk channels leading to the cylinder head. Moreover, big intake and exhaust valves as well as a sports camshaft and fitting valve springs have been installed. Furthermore, individual fine tuning of engine electronics was carried out and an exhaust manifold, two high-grade steel catalyst converters and a sport air filter were installed. Special forged pistons guarantee stability at high engine rpm. Engine tuning costs 17.850,00 Euro plus 1.785,00 Euro for the installation.
Acceleration values also benefit from this exemplary power characteristic: for only 4.5 seconds a heavy SUV like a sports car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. At 300 km/h the giant is decelerated by air resistance.
Certainly this enormous available capability also imposes extreme requirements on aerodynamics, chassis and breaking system. The uplift on the rear axle can be reduced by a rear spoiler (405,00 Euro) mounted/glued over the tailgate.
The 3-spoke 22-inch light alloy rims combined with high performance 265/35 ZR 22 or 305/30 ZR 22 Dunlop tyres and wheel arches contribute to driving dynamics and exclusive design. The price per wheel set is 8.568,00 Euros. Thus, there is enough space left for the VÄTH high performance breaking system (4.641,00 Euros) with 8-piston fix calipers and 380 mm (15") break discs - be sure to find here flexible steel tubes and racing break fluids.
Adjustable sport suspension (1.952,00 Euros) based on Airmatic (-40mm/-1½") not only ensures ML lowering, but also guarantees road holding capacity of a sports car.
Fog lights behind the front bumper grill for 583,00 Euros complete the masterpiece!
