A successor to the still seductively sexy Aston Martin DB9 is just around the corner, but there’s still plenty of life in the current model, especially the DB9 Volante convertible. The guys at Project Kahn have showed us that with a few changes here and there, you can transform the DB9 into...

Many readers may be familiar with Australia’s Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), the official performance and tuning arm of GM Holden, but there are several other firms in the land down under with equally established pedigrees and close links to the automaker. One of these is Holden Dealer Team...

As usual, Hyundai is hitting this year's SEMA show with a vengeance, having already announced a "rally-ready" Veloster and another Veloster by PM Lifestyle. Today, the Genesis Coupe joins the party with a special Hurricane SC edition. As you might have guessed, the SC in the name refers to a...

Nissan is working on a project based around shoehorning the mighty GT-R drivetrain into the body of a Juke crossover.

The crew at Hyundai have put their heads together with ARK Performance for the upcoming 2011 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show, and this is what resulted: a rally-bred 210-horsepower 2012 Veloster with a boatload of upgrades and a funky paintjob. For those that think rally cars...

The team at Underground Racing have done it yet again: put over 1,000 horsepower to the wheels of a supercar.

We’ve already seen Project Kahn’s work with the Audi A5 Cabrio, but now the British tuner has turned its sights to the A5 Coupe, adding a very distinct look to the car thanks to a custom matte gray finish. Whilst retaining much of the sleekness of the standard A5, arguably one of the...

There aren't many production engines that sound better at full song than BMW's V-10, which manages to simply scream rather than sounding like a truck as many other V-10s do (we're looking at you, Viper).
