This October the car tuner Caractere will introduce a new styling kit for the Audi Q5. If ever there was an official S or even an RS version of the Q5 this Caractere would probably stand a good chance of being picked off the designs queue.
The kit consists of a complete front bumper that is compatible with the company's S-line version. Other pieces include the roof spoiler, a ten-piece set of wheel arch extensions (also compatible with the S-line version) and a rear hatch blend. Lastly the rear spoiler, with or without exhaust with left and right tips is installed.
All the aforementioned parts are made from PURim. The CW1 wheels fitted are already on offer for this kind of vehicle. These are 18-inch, 19-inch and 20-inch in size.

Seat turned the Leon a bit sportier by giving him a new facelift. Modest design adjustments give the brawny Spaniard a more dynamic appearance. JE DESIGN follows this line and turns the modified model into a thoroughbred sports car. At the same time as the new Leon is introduced to the market, the refiner also offers his entire Leon facelift programme.
Especially the entire aerodynamics kit is responsible for this metamorphosis. The front spoiler (299 euros including VAT), the side skirts (299 euros) and the rear apron attachment in carbon look (349 euros) give the brawny Spaniard a significantly sportier appearance.
When the aerodynamics kit is not enough yet, you can add the rear wing (459 euros) and a matt black grill with a grid insert (119 euros) which shows no Seat nameplate. Matching headlights masks (89 euros) are also available. They give the Leon a fierce look. A special feature is the hood scoop with air inlet blinds (149 euros). They make every JE-DESIGN Leon unique.

Top times for TECHART at this year's Tuner Grand Prix at the Hockenheimring race track. Behind the wheel of the TECHART GTstreet RS based on Porsche 911 GT2, racing driver Jörg Hardt left the competition with no chance and won the duel in the GT Turbo class. This meant that he was able to repeat last year's victory. The sport auto Tuner Grand Prix is the world's largest trial of strength in the tuning sector.
The TECHART-modified 911 GT2 won with an average lap time of 1:08.037 minutes over five laps driven around the small circuit of the Hockenheimring race track. This means that the team drove precisely 0.604 seconds faster than the team in second place, and went on to claim overall victory for all the classes entered. Thanks to modified VTG turbochargers, the engine generates 700 bhp / 515 kW at 7,000 rpm and puts down a maximum torque of 860 Nm onto the tarmac at 4,500 rpm. The car is capable of top speeds of up 350 km/h.

Lorinser is sending the LV8 to the Tuner Grand Prix with 500HP
At the Tuner Grand Prix on the Hockenheimring (26th/27th June) Sportservice Lorinser will be presenting a C-Class from another universe: 500HP (368kW) and 630Nm catapult the black limousine from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 4.3 seconds and help it reach a top speed of 320. With a delicate touch of the accelerator the Continental tyres, with the ideal dimensions of 255/35-18, start to cling with all vehemence to the tarmac, so that they don't shed an ounce of traction. Here the 6.2 litre V8 makes a shout of joy which is enough to give you goose bumps, and breaks fresh ground with the well tempered Lorinser exhaust unit.
Despite its exciting performance the rapid vehicle, which enters the C3 Class (limousine suction cars), is fully compatible for everyday driving. "It meets all of the registration requirements for road vehicles and that is precisely what makes it so fascinating", explains the General Manager Marcus Lorinser. This is also helped, of course, by its optical appearance, which is characterised by an attractive aerodynamics package with spoiler bumpers and side sills. Viewed in this light it is a "C" with real class.
