Edo Competition Gallardo Superleggera
The German tuners from Edo Competition are well known for modifying exotic sport cars like Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. After they improved the LP640 model from Lamborghini they decided to create a special tuning kit for Gallardo Sperleggera. You will need a serious car loan if you’re planning to buy a car like this. The German tuning company boosted th supercars power to 560 HP and a maximum torque of 540 Nm. Thanks to this additional power the cars performance is much improved.
Pure Power Motorsports Ford Shadrach Mustang GT
Pure Power Motorsports decided to modify a Mustang GT completely when they created this supreme car. They replaced the stock 4.6L engine with a 900 HP demon with a lot of performance modifications, advanced fuel injection, new turbochargers and intercooler to pump fresh air when this V8 heats up. They also modified the suspensions for high speed use and they installed Brembo Brakes set behind 20″ aluminum Weld Racing wheels and Toyo tires. The car’s interior makes you feel like you’re driving a racing car: Recaro front seats, a lot of chrome elements and G-Force five-point harnesses. At the exterior level they created a unique front bumper cover that makes the car more aerodynamic and it makes it look like a predator.

Renntech SLR McLaren 722 PKG2
When Mercedes decided that it’s time to boost the engine power for this lovely SLR supercar they created the limited edition SLR722. A lot of people thought that 722 comes from the power developed by the 5.5L V8 engine of this car while others thought that there will be built only 722 cars like this one. But they were all wrong. In fact the car’s name comes from the Mille Miglia from 1955 where Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson won with a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR in front of race favorties like Ferrari and Porsche. The car had the racing number 722 which was the exact hour of race start 7:22 am.
Last year, the car tuning company Renntech ended this confusion and boosted this car’s power from the initial 650 HP to 722 HP. The PKG1 kit included new intercoolers and modified engine cooling unit that will add this slight boost of power.
Hamann Porsche 911 Turbo
Porsche 911 Turbo is surely one of the fastest sport cars in the world at the moment but of course, there are still some car tuning companies, like Hamann that can modify anything, from Mini Cooper to Ferrari. If you are not pleased with the car’s initial power (480 HP), Hamann created a special performance tuning kit called Hamann Stallion that will boost the engine’s power to 630 HP. To gain this additional power they changed the car’s turbocompressors with new ones that are bigger and stronger and they also installed a new exhaust system made from stainless steel and they modified the car’s engine cooling unit. But the guys from Hamann weren’t pleased only with engine modifications. They also cut around 8 cm from the car’s roof, they equipped the car with 20″ rims, Lambo doors and they also made a lot of modifications to the car’s body kit to make it more aerodynamic.
Brabus Smart Fortwo Ultimate 112
Even though the german tuning company Brabus is well known for modifying super cars they decided to make a new tuning project based on the lovely mini car: Smart Fortwo. They decided to go for an orange color theme and the car looks more serious now. Probably the most important modification was installing a new wide body kit that makes the car look a lot more agressive. The Smart badges were replaced with Brabus badgets and the car has stylish LED illumination. Since the guys from Brabus love to modify every aspect of a car they decided to improve this Smart’s performances a lot. They installed a 1L engine that can develop 110 HP which is incredible for a small sized car. This improvement will boost this car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds and the top speed is limited to 170 km/h.
Renntech Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series
As a stock car, the Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series is one of the most extreme cars ever built. With a body kit that looks like the one used at DTM cars, an interior with carbon fiber elements and a powerful V8 engine that develops 507 HP and 630 Nm, this car seems perfect and you can’t make it better.
Of course, it seems that nothing is extreme for the guys from Renntech and the car tuning company from Florida has added 43 HP to the car’s V8 engine by modifying it’s engine cooling system and installing a new high performance exhaust system. With this extra power this car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and it will reach a top speed of over 300 km/h.

They also installed a new sporting wing that is connected to the car’s trunk and the stock rear bumper was replaced with a new one that is completely different to suit the car’s new design. In the interior you will be amazed how luxurious this car can be. Everything is made from finest materials like dark and light leather, alcantara and spiced with aluminum and carbon fiber elements. Brabus is a tuning company that will also modify each car’s performances and this Mercedes GL has received a performance kit that boosts it’s diesel engine power with 33-34 HP.
Edo Competition Maserati MC12 XX
The first ever 320 km/h Maserati was not too powerful for the german tuning company Edo Competition and that’s why they started to modify this lovely italian sport car. They created a special performance tuning kit that will boost this car’s engine power to 800 HP at 8,500 rpm. They added 170 HP to the car’s initial power and now this Maserati is an incredible racing car that will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and in 19 seconds it could reach a speed of 300 km/h. The 6.3L engine has received a lot of improvements: new valve springs, connecting rods, high performance cooling pipes, air filters and other elements that make it reach an astronomic level of power. The car has a maximum speed of 390 km/h now (around 242 mph). But the performance improvements continued with installing new exhaust system, ceramic brakes, suspension system and they also reduced the car’s weight with 100 kg.
Vath Mercedes V63RS
The german tuning company Vath, a company that knows everything about Mercedes tuning has started to modify a Mercedes C Klasse – C63 AMG. They wanted to make one of the most powerful Mercedes cars and they managed to add 130 HP and 90 Nm to the car’s 6.3L V8 engine. This was possible by reconfiguring the car’s engine cooling unit and by installing a new high performance exhaust system. The Vath V63RS develops now 585 HP and a maximum torque of 690 Nm that will boost this car to a maximum speed of 325 km/h. They also had to change the car’s suspensions to handle better at incredible speeds and they installed 19″ rims that are equipped with wide tires for more stability.
Lamborghini Reventon
Lamborghini is one of the best super car manufacturers and their new model is called Reventon. Lamborghini Reventon is probably the most extreme model designed by the Italian manufacturer and it’s a real automotive delicacy. The car looks like an angry jet fighter like the F-22 Raptor. The car’s paint is grey-green like the jet fighters’ color and it’s aerodynamics was also inspired from the F-22. The whole body kit is created from carbon fiber with sharp edges and futuristic design. In the front part it has two big openings to cool the engine and brakes. The rear wheels also have huge openings that will supply air to the powerful rear brakes. If someone would watch this car from above it really looks like a jet. The car’s wheels are made from aluminum and carbon and with 18″ rims they look really great!
NCE Toyota Prius Convertible
The company that made this hybrid Toyota Prius convertible is called Newport Convertible Engineering [NCE]. Hybrid cars aren’t very well designed, and the guys from NCE thought they could improve this car a lot by making it convertible and adding some cool elements. Even though a lot of people don’t think this car looks too great it’s surely an improvement from the stock car and it looks really well for a hybrid car. You could buy used hybrid cars and try to make them convertible like this one. The car’s tail lights were modified and the interior is fully covered with white. Hybrid cars will be really popular in the future and if you buy a Toyota Prius you could go wild and modify it as you wish. I’ve heard a lot of bad comments about this car but I’m pretty sure it’s a lot better than its stock version.
