  • Porsche Carrera GT Gemballa Mirage Matt

    Since 2006, Gemballa has been building custom interpretations of the Porsche Carrera GT supercar, making it perhaps the foremost Carrera GT tuner in the world. For its latest iteration, Gemballa has decided to relax the power output and focus on a decisively seductive matt black finish. Some of Gemballa's GTs have put out as much as 750hp (560kW), but the Matt Edition is satisfied with 670hp (500kW) on tap. That's still about 50hp (40kW) more than the stock Carrera GT, however, and with 465lb-ft (630Nm) of torque it's sure to be a fun ride in any gear. Gemballa's claimed performance stats...

  • Lightning GT
    Britain's Lightning Company plans three more electric cars

    America’s Tesla Roadster is currently the electric car king when it comes to zero emissions performance cars but British car company Lightning is hard at work preparing a new 700hp (522kW) rival for the Tesla Roadster that it hopes to have in production next year. After that Lightning will...

  • 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo
    Report: Porsche planning hardened Panamera GTS flagship

    Automakers love to build as many models as possible from a single platform as this helps them spread initial investment costs, as well as risk, that can often run up into the billions of dollars. This is especially true for smaller automakers with limited budgets and low production volumes. Case in...

    Report: GTbyCitroen supercar to see six-unit production run

    Since the GTbyCitroen supercar crossed the pixel-reality barrier and leapt out of Gran Turismo 5 and onto the street, talk of a limited production run has circulated. Now that talk is taking shape, with an expected production run of just six cars according to the latest reports. Back in December we...

  • 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake
    Shelby reveals 725hp Super Snake package for Ford Mustang GT500

    Following the unveiling of the new 2010 Ford Mustang GT500 back in January, it was only a matter of time until long time Ford tuner and motorsports company Shelby Automobiles released its latest iteration of the extreme Super Snake package. The highly modified car has now been revealed, with a...

  • Reed Speed Artisan Ford Mustang
    Reed Speed teams up with Artisan to create 700hp Ford Mustang

    Hot on the heels of the 700hp (522kW) tuned Camaro SS from Artisan Performance comes another hotted up version of the 2010 Ford Mustang that's set to do battle on the black top this June. The latest tuned Mustang is based on the V8-powered Mustang GT and picks up a pair of GTK350 turbochargers for...

  • 1987 Mustang GT with the 5.0 badge

    The Mustang is not just an iconic pony car or a retro-modern throw-back to simpler times. It's a fan-favorite performance vehicle that has a rabid and enthusiastic base of drivers, tuners and manufacturers behind it. So news of the return of the '5.0' badge to the front fender of the 2011 Mustang GT is likely to be met with a roar of approval. Ford last stuck the 5.0 badge on the Mustang when it was last powered by a 5.0L V8. So now that the 5.0L Coyote V8 is expected to replace the current 4.6L V8, it makes sense that the 5.0 badge would return. That logic is backed up by reports from a post...

  • 2010 Ford Mustang glass roof
    Ford Mustang’s glass roof option reappears for 2010, joined by GT Convertible

    Just in time for summer, Ford has added its panoramic glass roof option to its restyled 2010 Mustang Coupe alongside the convertible version of the V8-powered Mustang GT, both of which are now on sale in showrooms across the country.

  • MTM Birkin Edition Bentley Continental GT

    When dealing with the amount of money and prestige involved with a custom Bentley Continental, it's easy to get carried away - and there are plenty of examples to attest to that. But sometimes a custom house pulls off an upgrade that actually enhances the original, and that's exactly what we have with the MTM Birkin Edition Bentley Continental GT. The kit adds 90hp, raising the output to 650hp from the big V12 engine, and lifting torque to 587lb-ft. That's enough grunt to get the big car up to 62mph (100km/h) in just 4.9 seconds and on to 124mph (200km/h) in 15.9 seconds - three seconds...

  • konigseder tuning porsche carrera gt 015

    Leipzig, 2004: the Porsche Carrera GT, born out of a racing program but built for the street, begins a production run that will total just 1,270 units and last only two years. Little did the world know new versions of the car would still be built by the aftermarket on a nearly monthly basis for the next five years. Of course all of those tuned examples are built on original Porsche chassis, so it's not like the car is getting any less rare. And that makes it all the more remarkable that examples are still being made available to fit tuning kits, body parts and wheels to fully three years...

    Gemballa takes wraps off Porsche Cayenne Turbo-based Tornado 750 GTS

    The high-performance SUV is something of an oxymoron at first blush, but anyone that's taken the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo or Mercedes Benz ML-Class AMG knows it's possible. Gemballa takes the concept to the next level, dropping over 550lb (250kg) from the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and boosting...
