Mercedes-Benz CLS Tuned by Vitt Performance

We have to tell you from the beginning that we are going to talk about a piece of exterior tuning coming from Japan, so expect to see bits and pieces that might not suit everybody’s taste. Getting to the point, we’ll show you what Japanese aftermarket developer Vitt Performance can do for the second-generation Mercedes CLS.
The four-door coupe was gifted with a wide body kit, which includes a front bumper with generously-sized air intakes and LED daytime running lights, beefy side skirts and door panels, as well as a rear bumper that includes a diffuser and a quadruple exhaust with oval tips that overlap.

Of course, these are all topped by the beefier wheel arches and a boot lid spoiler. The Vitt Performance Mercedes CLS rides on a set of rims that use a five-double spoke design with an extra-wide lip.

Fast and Furious 6 Nissan GT-R Revealed

Check out this cool blue Nissan GT-R that will be seen in the upcoming Fast and Furious 6 set to hit theaters May 24. We’re surprised that they are even making a sixth installment of the Fast and Furious series as it seems each sequel doesn’t live up to hype. The original should go down in history as the movie that changed the car tuning industry for the better or worse as some may say. Anyways, this GT-R received a ton of modifications from the new aerodynamic kit to the performance upgrades under the hood.
Starting off with the aero kit developed by BenSopra, the car received new front and rear bumpers with large inlets and strange side sills behind the fenders. A massive rear wing that scream overkill rounds out the rear, while the new hood has too many vents to even count.
Performance is what really matters, however Fast and Furious is notorious to only showcase styling modifications. Yet, this Nissan GTR has received tuning from SP Engineering for the ECM calibration and the use of 100 octane fuel for more power. A Switzer P800 turbocharger kit was installed along with a HKS downpipe and Y-pipe.
You know the interior will be tricked out with a new steering wheel, seats, upholstery and trim throughout. Just to name drop a few more goodies, the Nissan GT-R features cooling panels from Seibon, an AMS carbon fiber roof, AeroCatch flush mount hood pins and Sparco trunk latches. Now you know it’s an official Fast and Furious 6 Nissan GT-R with all those name brands!

CORVETTE Z06 BY ROMEO FERRARIS

The Italian tuner Romeo Ferraris released a mod pack for Chevrolet Corvette Z06 which aims to place it above the ZR1 model.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 received by Romeo Ferrari’s compressor and the power of the powerful 677PS and 823Nm LS7 jumped 7.0 torque. The Vortech kit features – a centrifugal compressor, an air-to-air intercooler and aluminum high-flow injectors. In addition, the car got a new sports exhaust system.

Chevy Silverado on 32-Inch Forgiato Wheels [Video]

Custom cars in Florida are in a league of their own. They guys will take any old sedan out there and put on the largest wheels you’d never think would fit. And in fact they don’t fit, because parts of the fenders and bumpers have to be shaved off to maker room.
This odd looking Fred Flintstone used to be a regular old Chevy Silverado pickup, an American legend in the making. The guys at Dynasty Customs in Tampa Bay fitted it with new 32-inch ENZO wheels from Forgiato. These have huge chrome rims and massive lips.

The custom truck also has tinted lights, chrome mirrors and a brand new grille, not to mention a banging sound system. All these mods have the potential of adding at least $10,000 to the price tag, so it’s quite serious business, even though it looks like a clown car.

1074 hp Audi S3 by TS Racing

We knew that Audi’s, or rather Volkswagen’s, 2.5 liter five-cylinder engine has a great potential for tuning, but we didn’t know how big that potential was until we came across this. What we have here is an innocuous looking Audi S3 modified for racing by a firm called TS Racing, and it has a whopping 1074 HP (790 kW) and 1158 Nm (853 lb-ft) of torque!
Only God and a couple of his close companions know how in the world this little hatchback puts that massive power down to the ground, but it does. Actually, the more pressing question is how the hell did they manage to extract 1074 hp out of a 2.5 liter engine?

          

TS Racing’s Audi S3 is an amazing engineering achievement. The car also has a massive aero kit and other racing bits and bobs that are interesting, but the engine just dominates everything.

730-hp Corvette ZR1 by GeigerCars

Bavarian tuner GeigerCars has come up with a performance package for the king of American sports cars, the Corvette ZR1. Built to conquer the 2012 Tuner Grand Prix, this is a race car for the streets with a colossal 730 horsepower.
That is about a 100 horsepower more than the standard ZR1, brought on by modified cylinder heads, camshafts, pistons, as well as optimized air intake system, exhaust, and intercooers. The result is 730 horsepower and 950 nm of torque.

Geiger’s ZR1 can reach a top speed of 355 km/h, so the changes they have made to the car’s aerodynamic and suspension system to cope with it are most welcome. They also give you a pair of Recaro race seats, but the coolest things they’ve added to this car are those skull graphics on the bonnet and also on the back.

The performance of this ZR1 is certainly very tempting, but the price tag might put you off. It costs 234,788 euros.

BMW M6 F13 by Risden Engineering

BMW M6 tends to be more of a super GT than a sports car, but it is an M car after all, and has the potential to become a serious track car. Risden Engineering sees this potential and is working on a program that turns the M6 into what they refer to as a ‘streetable track car’.
The idea is that the car remains properly docile for street use, and when you take it to the race track all that racing components added to it will result in greater performance. And there is quite a bit of racing bits and bobs fitted to this car.

The Risden R6 package includes a fixed wing and a retractable wing, and also built in cooling features and new vent openings for the brakes and engine. The M6 has also been on a diet and has lost a couple of stones. A fully adjustable suspension, 4 point roll bar, and a new brake system have also been added, but there is no plan for any performance upgrade. That is fine, of course, as the standard car comes with 560 horsepower.
