Callaway is best known for tuning Corvettes, but that hasn't stopped the company from focusing on other niches. Like trucks. The Callaway Silverado is the first in a line of Callaway SportsTrucks, and the package offers more power and unique styling for Chevrolet Silverado owners. There are two...

There's nothing wrong with a completely stock Land Rover Range Rover Sport. It's one of the most luxurious, capable on- and off-road performance SUVs available, and in supercharged trim it’s able to give some sports cars a run for their money. However, the fact that it’s so good in...

Texan tuning firm Hennessey Performance Engineering is certainly no stranger to over-the-top modified cars, having released a string of 1,000+ horsepower Dodge Vipers in the past and even its own custom supercar powered by a twin-turbocharged LS9 V-8. With such a pedigree, it’s safe to say...

Each year, thousands of diehard off-road enthusiasts descend upon Moab, Utah for the Easter Jeep Safari and a week of fun on some of the country’s best and most rugged trails. And, every year, Jeep brings out a range of modified vehicles, typically built with the latest on offer from its...

When it comes to modified exotics, Germany’s Anderson is one tuning firm that we wouldn’t mind unleashing on our own supercars--if we happened to actually own any, that is. That’s because Anderson’s stylists manage to add just the right number of modifications to keep its...

Back at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show Lexus unveiled a modified version of its new CT 200h that was prepared by the guys at tuning firm Five Axis. Now, just a few weeks out from the 2011 New York Auto Show, Lexus has announced that another, more highly modified version of the luxury hybrid hatchback...

There’s a reason why incredibly fast cars have an assortment of strangely styled aerodynamic components stuck to their bodies--to keep them glued to the ground. Travelling at similar speeds to aircraft taking off, cars too can have trouble staying on the ground, which is exactly what happened...

Fuel prices might be on the up and up but that hasn’t stopped Indiana-based Lingenfelter from releasing a new supercharger kit for the Dodge Challenger muscle car. Lingenfelter is certainly no stranger to modifying muscle cars and its latest kit sees some big numbers from the...

Performance hybrids seem to be the order of the day, with Porsche just moments ago unveiling its second-generation 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0 and now Mugen Euro announcing plans for the development of a high-performance Honda CR-Z. For those unaware of Mugen, the name applies to a motorsports and...

Pairing small, light roadsters from the 50s and 60s with rotary engines is nothing new. It's been done with complete and utter ferocity by people like Jeff Kiesel, whose turbo rotary Sprite is an autocross terror and wonder (see the video below for proof). But this particularly clean example of...

It may not have had the mega-dollar pricetag of some of the other vehicles on show at the recent 2011 Geneva Motor Show, but the funky Fiat 500 Coupe Zagato was certainly one of the coolest cars unveiled. Built by legendary Italian design house Zagato, the makers of other specials like the Alfa...

Taking a decidedly retro approach to tuning the Porsche 911, California-based Singer Vehicle Design has released its first tune. Stripping down to a shell and building back up is what Singer put on the menu for this special Porsche 911. Keeping a few structural standards of the original 911, such...

There’s a strong chance that if you can afford to buy a Maybach then you may need the protection of an armored car, whether it be for your own personal safety or your family’s. Thankfully, Daimler’s armored car division, simply named Guard and based in Sindelfingen, Germany, has...

Ruf has never considered itself simply as an aftermarket tuner, seeing itself more as a niche automaker capable of building some of the highest-performance cars on the planet. You only have to take a look at the legendary line of CTR models to understand where this view is coming from, and in...

BMW's 2002 is often taken as the benchmark for true Bimmerphiles. It's outdated in technology and performance, but there's a purity to its small dimensions and simple aesthetic that many refer back to in judging the cars since. This example, a 1974 2002 Turbo outfitted with an M20 six-cylinder...

It’s been a while since we last heard of German tuner Carlsson and its wild C25 supercar loosely based on the Mercedes-Benz SL platform. At last year’s Geneva Motor Show Carlsson first took the covers off the C25 and announced a limited production run of just 25 units of the V-12...

It wouldn’t be the Geneva Motor Show without some outrageous creation from Brabus and for this year’s event the German tuner hasn’t disappointed. Brabus has unveiled a new twin-turbocharged version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar that promises an output of 700 horsepower and...

In the world of high-end car modification, there's extreme, there's insane, and then there's Mansory. But anyone that's actually been inside a Mansory vehicle knows the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into the firm’s over-the-top designs--it's enough to make a modified car a...
