Lamborghini Gallardo by WheelsandmoreHere's another variation on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. This one, called the YarroW, is from German tuner Wheelsandmore.
First up, power on this Lambo is amped up to 620 hp and 580 lb-ft of torque (785 Nm). Wheelsandmore achieves this increase by means of ECU tampering, a carbon airbox and a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control.
The YarroW also comes with a beefed-up brake system to match those extra horses. 8-piston calipers are fitted at the front and 6-piston ones for the rear wheels, with 14.96 and 14.17-inch discs at front and back, respectively.
20-inch wheels are also part of the tuning kit, wrapped in 235/30/20 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires at the front (for the 8.5 x 20" rims) and 305/25/20 at the back (11.5 x 20"). The 3-piece forged rims are lightweight and come in various color and surface configurations.
The suspension gets a special coilover installed that goes up to 1.77 inches by hydraulic lift.
Carbon parts added to the exterior include a rear diffuser, frontflap and side mirrors. Carbon finish is also part of the interior redecorating.

Range Rover Sport by PrestigeThe Range Rover Sport gets a do-over from British tuner Prestige.
The Prestige S kit for the Range Rover Sport converts this premium SUV's styling to a more muscled-out look and includes a variety of optics/aerodynamic cues to do the trick.
The new front bumper comes with air intakes and fog lights while the extended wheel arches give the Range Rover Sport a wider stance. Air intakes are also present on the new rear door paneling.
Door panels also extend downward to create a side skirt effect as well as give the Range Rover Sport the appearance of a lowered ride height, but the tuning here is limited to the bodywork.
The rear bumper is also lowered and made to hold the exhaust pipes and comes with a towing mount cover.
Additonal options to be had include LED headlights, side wing and bonnet vents, radiator grill, and spoilers for the rear.
For the inside are a series of bespoke-themed leather finishes and other detailing.

Chevrolet Camaro by HennesseyHennessey will introduce their 2010 HPE700 LS9 Chevrolet Camaro early next month during the SEMA Show.  The car uses a 6.2-liter supercharged engine that produces up to 725 horsepower and a huge 741 ft-lb of torque.
The company also plans to release two twin-turbo versions, with one producing between 800 and 850 hp and, and the other kicking out 1,000 hp and up to 900 ft-lb of torque.
Top speed on the 725 hp version was not released, but it does hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, reaching the quarter-mile mark at 11.3 seconds (126 mph).  Slam on the brakes at 60 mph, and you will get to a dead stop in 104 feet.
This is because of the six-piston calipers at the front, and four-piston calipers at the back, from Brembo.  15-inch cross-drilled rotors are covered by 20x10 inch light alloy wheels up front, and 14-inch rotors are concealed by 20x11 inch wheels at back.

Corvette C6 GTR by Specter WerkesThis is without doubt one of the coolest kits we’ve ever seen on a Corvette C6! It’s a creation of Specter Werkes for 2009 SEMA show and every bit of it is magnificent. Let’s cut to the chase: The C6 GTR features a full Specter body kit, an 800hp Lingenfelter and it also has HRE carbon fiber wheels. Honestly it is as good as a Corvette can get!
The car’s spectacularly aggressive body is more than just a body kit, it’s a facelift! It has new front and rear aprons with new bumpers, massively flared arches and a whole new design for the rear-end compartment with a pair of odd-looking and huge exhaust pipes. All of the parts are made of carbon fiber and the body is painted in BASF Pearl Blue except for the rear fascia which is done in mate black. This kit is also available for other models of Corvette, the Zo6 and ZR1 both coupes and convertibles.
The Lingenfelter part is also equally amazing. They have provided this car with a modified version of GM’s 7.0-liter LS7 engine which is twin-charged and gives an incredible 800 hp! After all that scary look needed such a powerful punch to support it!
Other great features of the Specter GTR include the HRE carbon fiber wheels which weigh only 22 pounds apiece and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Zero Pressure tires, StopTech STR big-brake package, featuring six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers, Mobil 1 synthetic fluids, Corsa exhaust system with GTR-specific exhaust tips, Spinneybeck hand-tipped leather interior accents, Matte-finish carbon fiber accents, including the headlamp housing, front splitter, outside mirrors and …

BMW M6  by Prior-DesignPrior Design presents a new wide body styling kit for the BMW M6. The finished car kit is called the PD550 and features some revisions for the V10-powered M6. The tuner did not mess with the front end too much, preferring to keep it as close to the familiar simple and elegant look as possible.
The aerodynamic kit includes revised front wings, new side skirts and new rear fender flares. A hand-made PD silencer accompanies four stainless steel pipes said to please the ear even from miles away. The body was widened by some 80mm to improve handling and offer sportier dynamics. If this is too much Prior Design has a second complete but non-wide kit called the PD450.
A choice of two wheel/ tyre combinations are possible; FA 9.0 J x 20 / RA 10.5 J x 20 with 255/35 ZR 20 / 285/30 ZR 20 tyres or FA 9.0 J x 21 / RA 10.5 J x 21 with 255/30 ZR 21 / 295/25 ZR 21. The suspension can be lowered by up to 30mm up front and 25mm at the rear which gives the PD550 a real squatting position.

Ford Focus RS by Loder1899We reckon it's risky game trying to feed more ponies to the front-wheels of the new 300HP Ford Focus RS as there's a strong possibility that you'll end up ruining the car's handling, but then again we could be wrong. Fortunately for those that disagree with us there are plenty of tuners out there that can and will spruce up Ford's Euro hot hatch. Germany's Loder1899 is one of those companies as the tuner presented a new sport package for the second-generation Focus RS.
A sport exhaust system, a new air filter and some other upgrades that are not mentioned up the output of the 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five by 40 ponies for a total of 345 HP. The company also promises that the new exhaust system will alert your friends, neighbors etc, etc that you've fiddled around with the engine - if you catch our drift.
Furthermore, the Focus RS's body has been lowered 35mm or 1.4 inches while Loder1899 also offers a choice of 20-inch alloy wheels in various designs.

Renault Twingo  by LazarethThe popular saying that dynamite comes in small packages applies to this unique Twingo Trophy V8 from French tuners Lazareth Auto Moto. Seemingly inspired by the competition Renault Megane Trophy and the Clio V6 Renault Sport, the car features an old 3.5-litre Range Rover V8 with 147kW (200hp). The block sits not under the bonnet but behind the front seats where rear passengers used to sit. Torque is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Lazareth kitted the car out with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in slick Yokohama tyres (230/650/18 at the front and 320/650/18 at the rear), wider front and rear tracks, a massive rear diffuser and matt grey exterior paint. The suspension was modified and brakes upgraded.
Interior pieces include MOMO alcantara bucket seats and a sports steering wheel. A centrally-mounted Translogic digital display shows speed, revs per minute, a shift light, lap times and other information.
Unfortunately very little of the Lazareth Twingo Trophy V8 appears on this short video clip. However, anyone interested in ownership will be asked to pay a sum of €70,000 (US$104,160) for one.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 by IMSAGermany-based tuners IMSA GmbH have released their package of upgrades for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 following an initial preview back in February.  The IMSA GTV kit was created from scratch, and comes with several carbon-fiber body panels.
A height-adjustable sports chassis was also used, with the mods capped by the polished stainless steel exhaust pipes.  The new exhaust led to a 5% power increase to 590PS and up to 560 Nm of torque, nearly a 4% increase.
Included in the modifications are front and rear aprons, front and rear fender flares, side skirts, and a new rear wing.  The company decided to use the same central-locking wheels found on vehicles in the IMSA Challenge.  Lightweight 9Jx20 with 245/30 ZR20 tires, and 12.5Jx20 with 325/25ZR20 dimension tires are found in the front and back.
Carbon fiber bucket seats were also thrown into the package, as well as other composite interior parts.  Leather and Alcantara rounds out the order.

Bentley Continental by ASMAGerman tuner ASMA is widely famous as a Mercedes tuner and of course for their crazy jobs! We’ve already brought to you some samples of their insanity, remember the SLR Perfectus and CL Phantasma both done for Abu Dhabi royalties?! Anyhow, this time they’ve picked a Bentley Continental and went berserk with it. Apparently they couldn’t resist this job offer from a rich Saudi politician! Welcome everyone to ASMA Venustus…
Before we cut to the chase, we have to say that as you notice from the pictures of the cabin, the car is not fully finished! The seats are yet to be changed and so is the steering wheel, otherwise beige leather with red trimming would make absolutely no sense!
The body and engine however, are fully done! ASMA has literally facelifted the Continental. It wears a wide body kit with redesigned bumpers and flaps and everything, all finished in glossy piano black. And with the blacked-out grille and 22-inch black wheels, the Venustus is a showcase of ASMA’s dark side! The new aero parts like the spoiler lips or the rear diffuser are made of carbon fiber.
As for the engine, well there is enough power in there to start a sand storm in the desert! 644 hp and 780 nm of torque is at the disposal of Sheikh’s right foot which let him accelerate non-stop right up to the exciting horizons of 325 km/h!
There is no mention of the price, but it is certainly quit high!

Lexus IS 350C  by Fox MarketingIf you have been keeping up with us here at Carscoop, you probably know about the custom made Lexus IS 350C that Fox Marketing is preparing for the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November. We've already shown you a teaser rendering as well as some photos of the car taken during the development phase but now, Fox Marketing has released detailed specs along with the first live photos and videos of the lime-green hardtop convertible that comes equipped with a supercharged version of the stock 3.5-liter V6 pumping out some 406 horsepower.
Other mechanical upgrades include a reworked suspension with Yonaka SPECII 36 way adjustable coilovers and 14-inch disc brakes with six-piston calipers.
The team over at Fox Marketing also dressed up the IS 350C with a custom made wide bodykit that includes front fenders and side skirts from the IS-F sports saloon along with 20-inch black alloy wheels wrapped around in Toyo T1R rubber.
