Impressive Design Pack in PU-RIM

Perfect surface quality and custom-fit manufacture are the hallmarks of the liftreducing Mansory auto body design for the current Cayenne models. With the striking design, the SUV turns into the centre of attention on the streets and off-road. A far more dynamic front apron with larger air inlets is the outstanding element at the front. An ultra-light bonnet additionally strengthened with carbon supplies the front engine with extra fresh air via ventilation ducts. By broadening the wings, the Mansory makeover gains an individual character. With the additional side skirts, the serial auto body is broadened by 40 mm and already imbues the car with pure power even when it is still parked. The Mansory rear apron with an integrated diffuser has enough room for the end pipes of the valve-controlled sport exhaust system and seamlessly fits into the overall package.

The company Mansory is situated in Bavaria and one of the top addresses for refining premium sports cars. Whether Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Ferrari or Porsche - the refining specialist shows its technical talent for every automobile. The subsidiary company Mansory Switzerland AG, the in-house expert for Porsche cars, presents a comprehensive tuning programme for the model 911 from the recently revived Porsche Type 997 series at the Geneva Auto Salon 2009. This tuning programme mainly focuses on improvements concerning the aerodynamics, engine performance and handling of this sports car icon.

Modular spoiler pack allows various design possibilities

When developing the 911-programme, the Mansory engineers attached great importance to an individual design, but also aerodynamic efficiency. In order to save weight and guarantee highest quality standards, the body components are made of PU-RIM. Also, parts of the serial auto body are made of this resilient and inherently stable material. The core part of the body kit is a lift-reducing front mount in a sportive-dynamic look. In connection with the hood, the front apron offers various design possibilities. On the one hand, it forms the perfect symbiosis with the serial hood, as an especially designed inlay allows a seamless junction. And on the other hand, the apron can be combined with the Mansory carbon hood whose striking side beads demonstrate individuality and underline the sportive character of the modification. The rear apron is not less impressive: it accommodates the new fourpipe exhaust system and therefore renders a harmonic rear finish. The visual perfection of the aerodynamics pack is accomplished with the side skirts which also fulfil functional tasks. They significantly calm the air flow between both axles.

Kicherer has unveiled an optics tuning package for the upcoming Mercedes E-Class.
The body kit consists of carbon fiber panels including front and rear spoilers, side mirror covers and rear bumper. 20-inch forged-alloy wheels, Kicherer's own, are also included.
A new twin-piped performance exhaust system is part of the package too and Kicherer says it has tuned the suspension for a sportier ride.
On the inside comes a sport steering wheel, Nappa leather on the door panels and dashboard and carbon fiber finishings here and there.
Kicherer says this tuning package is based on the new E-Class AMG sports package, which will be offered on the new E-Class when it goes on sale in the coming weeks.
The new Mercedes E-Class is expected to arrive in dealer showrooms shortly.

The Japanese have a bit of a history of building hot wagons. Whether it’s the R33 GT-R wagon hand built by Option and Trial or the official “unofficial GT-R wagon” the Autech Stagea RS260 famous for it’s GT-R drivetrain and the subsequent R34 GT-R Masa Motorsports front end fascia swaps adapted to it later on.
Of course times change and we move on. The RB26DETT is out of production and so the Autech Stagea has become somewhat less of a buff over the stock M35 Stagea car so what can you do to fix that?
As shown here the answer was staring you in the face the whole time, this R35 front end swap on a M35 Stagea was on show at Nagoya Auto Trend this weekend. The swap seems to continue to the sides and the rear quarters are also slightly flared to keep with the theme. Overall looks to be a real solid job.
Powering these is usually the VQ35DE NA V6 3.5 litre engine in either RWD or AWD configuration so this one could easily be hiding a stroked VQ with a twin-turbo kit.

The High Luxury SUV built by RUF is named Dakara and is based on the Porsche Cayenne. The exterior and interior is able to embrace the most ambitious wishes. Because of the 911-headlights, the Dakara affects like a sports car. Four 22 inch- five spoke wheels and the broadened fenders demonstrate pure power. The bodykit fits to every Cayenne. Cameras in the front and in the back of the Dakara cater for the panorama view. The interior room is affected by complex processed leather trim which does not only fascinate with the precious materials but also with the new designed seats. A High-End Multimedia system with TV-reception, access to the internet and a CD-/DVD-Changer will gratify even the highest requirements. The V8-Turbomotor offers an engine output of 600 horsepower (600 Ps) at 6000 rpm. The maximum torque of 659 lb-ft/lbs (890 Nm) is delivered at 3000 rpm. So the Dakara is able to reach the speed of 62 mph (100 Km/h) in 4,8 sec. The chassis as well as the brake system are adjusted to the high requirements. Even ceramic-composite brakes are available.The Dakara perfectly ties in with the RUF model-range.

Sportec RS700: Noble Power Limousine
Not only the wishes of Porsche Drivers are fulfilled at Sportec from Höri - also Audi Driver can help themselves out of the program of the this noble high-tech forge. Sportec offers from now on a complete refining program for Audi RS6.
The main point consists in the increased performance of the 5.0 litre V10 Biturbo aggregate. For that purpose the Swiss specialists exchange the original catalysts by high-performance catalysts with higher flow rate.
As an option the originally installed exhaust system can be substituted by a Sportec high-performance exhaust system with four ø76mm tail pipes and sportive sound. Hereafter the new components of the vehicle are tuned in the Sportec 4-wheel test rig. In combination with the new programming of the engine control unit the RS6 reaches a maximum output of more than 700 HP. The torque increases up to fulminate 800 NM. As a result the 4-wheel limousine sprints to tempo 100 in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h are achieved after only 12.0 seconds and then reaches the electronically regulated maximum speed of more than 310 km/h.

B7 BITURBO
With the new BMW ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo, ALPINA presents its fourth generation of automobiles based on the BMW 7 Series. Prominent predecessors include the BMW ALPINA B12 6.0 and B7, which raised the bar in the high-performance luxury saloon segment. Newly interpreted and in every way state-of-the-art, the B7 Bi-Turbo unites exclusiveness, athleticism and comfort in perfect harmony.
Yielding exquisite levels of torque and power from the charged 4.4 litre V8, and in conjunction with the electronically-adjustable suspension with active roll stabilisation, the B7 Bi-Turbo promises to offer a spectrum of driving experiences so varied as to be unheard of in this class of automobiles.
The evolution of the traditional 20-spoke 21" ALPINA CLASSIC wheels underline the fresh design language found throughout the B7 Bi-Turbo and impart it a distinctive appearance and powerful stance.

Producing automobile highlights over and over - this is the personal motto which is firmly engraved in the Mansory philosophy. With the Chopster, the company based in the Bavarian town Brand, has successfully accomplished this once again and produced such a highlight just in time for the Geneva Motor Show 2009. The refining expert for premium automobiles assigned this task to its subsidiary Mansory Switzerland AG - the in-house specialist for Porsche cars. The fascinating interpretation of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is presented at the Mansory stand (exhibition hall 6) in Geneva. A sensational auto body styling with a lowered roof line, a brawny 710 hp turbo engine and an unprecedented abundance of interior refinements turn the Chopster into a holistic piece of artwork.

Brabus, the well known Mercedes specialist, has unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show the new BRABUS Mercedes ML63 biturbo, based on the Mercedes AMG ML 63.

Engineers from Brabus spent almost two years to improve this car’s engine with twin turbochargers and the new system added over 140 HP. The twin turbo system also includes a large intercooler, a dual flow intake manifold and high performance free-flow metal catalysts. Only the high performance B63 Biturbo engine costs 69,800 Euros but it offers more power than any other SUV in the world.
