 Adding to the huge variety of performance and styling packages on offer for the Nissan GT-R, Japan's gracelessly named Abflug (unless there's a different meaning in the Japanese language) released a new aero kit for the R35 sports car. The complete package consists of a front lip spoiler, new side skirts, a rear apron housing the diffuser, all finished in black. There's also a carbon fiber rear wing and if we translated correctly, an optional set of new alloy wheels. ... Read more

 Mariani has released their latest tuning package for the Audi R8. It offers a combination of aesthetic and performance upgrades that definitely make this an improvement over the stock model. The car has been lowered 60mm and there is also a Euro stretch treatment of the tire/wheel combo (19inch front and 20 inch rear wheels). Mariani has added 51hp to the 5.2L V10 engine that increases the total hp to 501hp. The vehicle’s low stance gives it a wide look that makes it very cool to look at but probably not the best option to drive on a daily basis. ... Read more

 Japanese company Wald International have certainly brought out some interesting body kits since they got into the modifications game. In just 15 years, they have built a reputation as a top shelf tuner willing to go after literally any type of Japanese or European premium vehicle. There latest creation is a company first. The Wald 200 Land Cruiser Sports Line Black Bison Edition is the first vehicle they've attacked from Toyota that is not a minivan. It also marks the 8th vehicle in the Sports Line Black Bison lineup. Others in the range include four Mercedes-Benz models (S-Class W221, CL-Class W216, C-Class W204, and R-Class W251), the Lexus IS F Sports Line, Toyota Alphard, and of course the Nissan GT-R. Although the Wald Land Cruiser edition was originally purpose-built for the Russian and Eastern European market, a postive response from the rest of Europe, Australia, and the Middle East means the SUV could show up on three different continents. It's no surprise interest has piqued. The company was trying to build a vehicle that is, "Aggressive, Powerful and [has a] Muscular Style." Often times when a tuner goes after just those qualities, they end up going overboard. But the engineers at Wald managed to style their Land Cruiser in both a strong and dignified manner. The new front bumper with integrated fog lamps sticks out in a particularly bold way that is matched by the new sidesills. The rear bumper incorporates the same mesh as seen at the front, while also building in new reflectors and space for the interestingly shaped quad-exhaust. Blacked-out Mahora M11C 20-inch wheels match the paint pretty well, but we like the five-point chrome-look wheels for the added contrast. If there is anything that can be removed, it is the rear spoiler, which looks rather out of place. All in all, this is a very interesting design from a very interesting company. The Wald 200 Land Cruiser Sports Line Black Bison Edition sales should begin soon if not already. ... Read more
 The latest member to join Wald International's 'Black Bison' family is the Mercedes-Benz R-Class. The styling package from the famed Japanese tuner makes the German crossover look every bit as aggressive as the other Black Bison edition models. The body kit includes new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a blacked out front grille, as well as an integrated rear diffuser that shrouds quad tailpipes. A set of larger mutlispoke alloy wheel finished in glossy black and a sport suspension kit that lowers the Merc's ride height complete the package. In keeping with its secretive nature, Wald International has not released any further details or prices for that matter. ... Read more

 Revealed for the first time at the 2009 MINI United Festival in Silverstone, the MINI John Cooper Works World Championship 50 is yet another special edition model built to commemorate the Cooper racing team's first Formula One World Championship title with Jack Brabham at the wheel in 1959. The car that will be produced in a strictly limited run of 250 units is based on the MINI JCW and driven by the same 1.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine that pumps out 211HP. It accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62mph) in 6.5 seconds going on to a top speed of 238 km/h or 148mph. All cars are finished exclusively in a new color named 'Connaught Green' that harkens back to the British race cars of the 1950s and 60s era. It is combined with the roof and bonnet stripes in 'Pepper White' while the 17-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels are finished in 'Jet Black'. Other exterior features includes the JCW aerodynamics package, a plethora of carbon fibre parts, among them the bonnet scoop on the bonnet, rear diffuser, exterior mirror caps and tailgate handle along with the special insignias. The 'World Championship 50's' interior has been upgraded with carbon fibre trim overlaid by red touches, black leather seats with contrasting red piping. The red theme is also used on the knee-rolls, armrests and the stitching on the floor mats, gearshift and handbrake gaiters. The look is rounded off with a new sports steering wheel with an Alcantara rim. Prices for the special edition MINI John Cooper Works model have yet to be confirmed. ... Read more
 German tuners 9ff have released a new tuning package for the Porsche GT2, advancing on their previous design. The new 9ff BT2 (bi-turbo 2) gives the driver access to a ridiculous amount of power: 850 horsepower, and a maximum 920 Nm of torque. Perhaps this will send American tuning company Switzer Performance back to the drawing board. That company released an 800 hp GT2 package just a few days ago. Although no details yet on engine modifications the BT2's numbers will get the Porsche fanboys salivating. All that power gets the car from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds. 200 km/h can be achieved in 8.7 seconds, while getting to 300 km/h takes 18.5 seconds. Eventually, the car will hit its massive top speed of 386 km/h, or 240 mph. If you want something that is even quicker, 9ff has you covered. The company is willing to modify the gearing to increase acceleration, while decreasing the car's top speed. Seen here honoring in its Gulf Livery glory, the car uses lightweight alloys and carbon fiber body panels to keep weight to a minimum. New body panels include a hood, doors, and roof, all custom built for the project, and all using the original mounting points. The company claims that the new Aero kit provides an additional 70 kg of downforce at the front, and 90 kilos more at the rear. Those of you wanting to buy the new 9ff BT2 will have to fork over €285,000. This amounts to €95,500 over the starting price for a GT2 direct from Porsche. ... Read more
