Ah, Brabus, the German tuning company that takes away Mercedes pension plan cars and sensibleness and throws it all away to create totally unplugged cars. So what did they use for a base now?

Reifen Koch is another German tuning company that has set out to update the already very powerful and slightly insane Audi RS6.

Japan's tuning specialist, ASI, had an interesting idea in recent times, they decided the Lexus LX 570 is in desperate need of a bit of tuning magic.

The title is correct, the Nissan 350Z is the one to get the modded ECU which may seem weird since the Nissan 370 Z has been around for quite some time now. The fact of the matter is that the Japanese sports car which is designed in America, styled by a British Indian and is powered by a French engine...
Until they will launch the Fiesta with EcoBoost engine, Ford worms us up with another version called Ford Fiesta S1600. Even though the car is marked by the S1600 indicative, which makes us think about the previous rally versions, this one doesn’t have a high rally potential. It’s true, the appearance is sport, with those traditional blue stripes, 17 inch...
Techart and Porsche have always been a couple of names that went well together and it seems that with the most recent release between them they still are.

The Bentley Continental GT has been always been a bit more in your face than the rest of the British manufacturers line but that hasn’t kept owners or tuning companies from making them even more opulent and brash.

I think it’s obvious how radically is this tuning program changing the look of the Porsche Cayenne versions from 2004 to 2007, you can notice that just by looking at the photos I put in this post. I was usually seeing such a customization program in movies like Tokyo Drift. This 2004-2007 Porsche Cayenne by TechArt Magnum has some power...
Unfortunately, we have just one photo with this 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo tuned by 9ff and I have to say that with that color, namely orange, it makes the 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo to look very ugly or at last this is what I think but let’s see what’s new at this tuning kit. With the 9ff tuning kit applied,...
