    Techart GTstreet Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

    Tuner cars are often works of art, flights of fancy or out-and-out racers, but rarely are the upper echelons of performance-tuned cars graced by models intended as daily drivers. Techart's GTstreet Porsche is an exception to that rule, however - if you can afford the upkeep. Starting with the...

    SpeedART Titan BTR 550: Super SUV or monster hot hatch?

    Porsche's Cayenne Turbo may not win any beauty contests, especially from fans of the company's sleek and sexy sports cars, but it's far from the ugliest SUV on the market. SpeedART wasn't satisfied with the stock Cayenne Turbo's looks, however, and decided to add a heavy helping of spoilers...

  • Mopar launches Jeep accessories line

    Most readers would recognize Mopar as being the official parts supplier for Chrysler’s muscle car lineup but soon aftermarket fans will be able to associate it with Jeep’s off-road range as well. Jeep used last week’s National Automobile Dealers Association show in San Francisco to unveil a new range of Mopar accessories designed specifically for the Wrangler Unlimited four-door 4WD. Customers who previously wanted to dress up their Jeeps have traditionally gone to aftermarket suppliers for all their parts but with Mopar customers will be able to modify their vehicles and...

    Gemballa does the Porsche Cayman S

    Just last month Gemballa dropped the 850hp GTR 800 EVO-R modified Porsche 911 Turbo on the world and since it would be nearly impossible to top that, Gemballa has made February Cayman S month, with the Gemballa GT and GT 4.0L RS packages offering enhanced performance and more aggressive looks to...

    Hartge-tuned BMW M3 Coupe

    Already a fully-capable road and track machine, the BMW M3 Coupe isn't precisely in need of tuning - or so you'd think. Once Hartge got its hands on it, however, it decided the new car could use some massaging, and has done its best to preserve what's great about the M3 Coupe while adding its own...

  • HGP builds 640HP Bi-Turbo Golf R36

    If you were disappointed by VW’s decision not to shoehorn its potent 3.6L V6 into the Golf then you'll be glad to hear German company HGP has gone ahead and done it. However, not content with the 300hp output of the naturally aspirated mill, the tuner has added a pair of turbochargers and boosted power to a supercar-rivaling 640hp (477kW). That’s as much power as VW’s own Golf GTI W12 650 concept car, which relied on a 6.0L W12 engine for its numbers. The car is based on the AWD R32, already a strong performer thanks to its torquey 3.2L engine, but with 640hp available from...

    Caractere’s new look for the Audi A5/S5

    Europe’s tuners have a knack for creating overly aggressive bodykits that usually detract from the original lines of the car they’re trying to enhance. The latest kit from Belgian tuner Caractere doesn’t fall into that category. Its new accessory range for the A5 lineup looks as...

  • TTP turbo upgrade for the Porsche 997 Carrera

    Porsche already sells its own Turbo model, which comes complete with a generous 480hp twin-turbo flat six engine straight from the factory, but Germany’s TTP decided to design a new turbo package for the base Carrera that could put the stock Porsche to shame. The Bavarian-based tuner offers three stages of tune for the 911, ranging from 420hp and topping out at 650hp. First stage offers enthusiasts a peak output of 420hp and 570Nm of torque. To achieve this level, engineers installed a pair of K16 turbochargers, a new air intake and sports filter, a new intercooler and a modified ECU...

    G-Power M5 rated world’s fastest street-legal BMW

    The world’s fastest street-legal BMW isn’t some fancy sports coupe or slippery aerodynamic marvel. The vehicle is actually a sedan, albeit a highly modified M5 sedan. The record breaker is the G-Power Hurricane M5 sedan and it reached a top speed of 225mph (360km/h) during high speed...

    BMW Alpina B3 Biturbo now available in AWD

    So the M3 is just a little too raucous and hard-edged, the regular 3-series is too soft and sedated, and you want four-wheel drive traction with your luxo-performance ride? Well, then, Goldilocks, the Alpina B3 Bi-turbo AWD is just what you're looking for: it adds that little kick that's missing...
