A "flying B" now also from Arden
Since 1972 Arden is specialized in the refinement of British automobiles. We have made ourselves a worldwide name particularly as ennobler for Jaguar and Range Rover. Now we decided to dedicate ourselves to one of the most exclusive automobiles in the world.
Arden extended its refinement program by the British traditional brand Bentley and starts the sale of the Arden Bentley radiator figure now.
All hood and bonnet mascots developed by Arden engineering impress by its technically immaculate processing and the love for detail. Our brand referred bonnet mascots are manufactured exclusively in manual work from brass and plated in chromium which is being high polished afterwards.
Already since the 80's the Arden bonnet mascots fulfill the strict safety conditions of the German TÜV by the patented safety attachment. During a collision the figure gives way and separates from the base in the case of a too strong impact in order to minimize the danger of injury, without being damaged itself. The patented quick-locking mechanism offers in addition to that an ideal theft protection, because bonnet mascot can be dismounted and mounted easily by the owner at any time.
Now also the Bentley driver can have his own Arden Bentley bonnet mascot.
Arden Bentley bonnet mascots are available for all usual models, starting at € 980, - plus 30 minutes mounting and tax.

If you're the type of person who prefers modifying their car with accessories and performance parts collected from various firms instead from one company, then APP Europe just might save you the trouble if you're into the VW Scirocco coupe. The German tuning boutique has put together a Scirocco 2.0TSI using parts from Rieger Tuning, KW Automotive, Wimmer Rennsporttechnik, CFC and MR Car Design.
The Scirocco's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine benefits from an upgraded ECU that costs €2,500 or US$3,300, courtesy of Wimmer Rensporttechnik, that boosts output from 200HP to 261HP and peak torque from 280Nm(206 lbs-ft) to 380Nm (280 lbs-ft) allowing the coupe to reach a top speed of 263km/h or 164mph.

It appears that AVUS Performance wants to avoid any mistranslation troubles after the outcry it caused in the media for the RS6 Avant 'White Power' moniker, so the German tuning boutique chose to play it safe and simply name its new proposal, the A5 Coupe Matte Black. The vehicle's stealthily looks were achieved by wrapping the car all around with matt black foil and painting some details like the front grille, mirror covers and the rear diffuser in a black finish.
The A5 Coupe's looks are rounded off by a set of 21-inch Jofiel black Limited Edition wheels in sizes 9,5x21" front and 11x21" at the rear and a set of S5 LED tail lights.
This A5 Coupe comes with Audi's 3.0-liter V6 TDI diesel engine featuring an upgraded ECU that helps boost output to 275HP and 600Nm ( 442.48 lb/ft) of torque. Last but not least, the German tuning house has equipped the A5 Coupe with KW coilovers with adjustable compression and rebound dampening.

The new Audi RS6 Avant by AVUS Performance may not look as aggressive as other tuning proposals, but it sure packs a mighty punch under the bonnet. Not that the standard RS6 with its 580HP and 650Nm ( 479.35 lb/ft) V10 actually needs more power, but the Berlin-based tuner believes that there's space for improvement. That translates to a new high performance exhaust system with a diameter of 70mm (2.7''), racing catalysts and a new ECU software resulting to an output of 700HP and 800Nm or 589.97 lb/ft of torque.
With these upgrades the Audi RS6 White Power sprints from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in a blistering 3,9 seconds, to 200km/h (124mph) in 12.1 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 340km/h or 211.27mph. The 'standard' RS6 Avant accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds and reaches an electronically limited maximum speed of 250km/h or 155mph.
Additional modifications include a new set of springs that lower the car by 40mm or 1.6'', massive 22-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels and carbon fiber front lip spoiler and rear diffuser.

For BMW tuning aficionado G-Power, there's no such thing as enough power or too much speed. Having already pushed the limits on the M5 Sedan and more recently, the X5 SUV, the German tuner focused its resources on the development of an even more extreme and powerful edition of the 635HP M6 Hurricane. Called the Hurricane CS, the M6 Coupe-based model uses an upgraded version of the M5 Hurricane's 730HP twin-turbocharged V10 that delivers an output of 750HP allowing the supercar to reach a top speed of 370km/h or 231mph.
To achieve the record breaking speed (for a production BMW coupe), Michelin provided a set of special high performance Pilot Sport PS2 in sizes 255/35 ZR 19 in front and 305/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle. For everyday use, G-Power offers the M6 with 21-inch Silverstone Diamond wheels shod in 255/30 ZR 21 (front) and 295/25 ZR 21 (rear) tires that are for use up to 340 km/h or 211mph.

After the world premiere of the Insignia 5-door by Steinmetz at the Essen Motor Show 2008, the duo was completed with the world premiere of the Insignia SportsTourer by Steinmetz at Tuning World Bodensee 2009.

For the roof of the Insignia SportsTourer by Steinmetz, a two-piece spoiler has been developed which, in conjunction with the signature Steinmetz exhaust tailpipe, gives the rear a more muscular appearance.

Yet another tuner is taking a swing at the new Audi A4 and A3 Convertible models. This time its O.CT Tuning that has released new performance kits for the A4 2.0 TDI with 120HP and 143HP as well as for the A3 Convertible 1.8 TFSI. For the diesel powered A4s, a reprogrammed ECU boosts output of both variants of the 2.0 TDI to 168HP and 375Nm or 277 lb-ft of peak torque. According to O.CT, the 168HP A42.0 TDI accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 8,0 seconds versus the 143HP stock model's 9,4 sec.
Furthermore, the Austrian tuning house claims that while the standard A4 2.0 TDI needs a distance of 1,600 meters (about a mile) to reach a speed of 180 km/h or 112mph, O.CTs version hits the mark after 1,100 meters or 0,7 miles.
