Steinmetz Opel Insignia

November 27, 2008 | CATEGORIES: Opel

The new Opel Insignia is already a car that many tuners want to modify. It has a nice design, it’s not expensive at all and it has a lot of innovative systems that make it more interesting than other cars. Steinmetz is one of the tuning companies that made a special tuning package for Insignia. They lowered the suspension system, installed 20″ alloy rims and modified the front spoiler, floor mats and the rear bumper. Insignia is the new European Car of the Year and it’s available in four versions equipped with a 2.0L diesel engine which could develop between 110 HP and 190 HP. The petrol versions range from 140 HP to 260 HP for the 2.8L V6 turbo engine. [click to continue…]

The german car tuner Carlsson made a special styling kit for Mercedes S-Class. The new kit is called Noble RS and it’s made from a new front spoiler with 4 projectors, side skirts, new rear spoiler with a diffuser and a small rear wing. They also installed a new exhaust system with 4 pipes that makes this car sounds great and the 21″ rims add a stylish touch to this luxurious german limo. The Noble RS styling kit could be made from polyurethane or carbon fiber and it’s available for all cars from the S-Class. The guys from Carlsson tried to give the S-class long version a sportier appearance and anyone could make their S-class unique if they decide to install this kit. [click to continue…]

Project Kahn SsangYong Rexton

November 25, 2008 | CATEGORIES: SsangYong

It seems that Project Kahn likes to modify any car on the market. For most of us, a modified SsangYong Rexton would be a joke, but the guys from Kahn improved this Korean SUV a lot. This SsangYong received a new suspension, 22″ rims from Kahn Design, a new exhaust system and they even installed Mercedes parts like the Mercedes-Benz T-Tronic transmision. More than that, this SUV has full leather interior, climate control, cruise control, parking sensors and electric heated seats. The tuning package made by Project Kahn is called Kahn Rexton R – Line and it’s available for £29.995. We think that they should also modify this car’s name because SsangYong is pretty hard to spell!

VITT Performance Mercedes CL

November 23, 2008 | CATEGORIES: Mercedes

The Mercedes CL is a powerful and luxurious ride with a lot of high-tech gadgets and safety features. Even though it might seem expensive for most of us, this two-door coupe has a lot of power under the hood and enough room to satisfy even the most severe drivers. We’re used to see a lot of Mercedes cars modified by german tuners but we rarely find a japanese tuning company that modifies any model from Mercedes. VITT Performance is one of those tuners and they created a special tuning kit for a Mercedes CL. The guys from VITT designed a special wide body kit that is made from new front and rear spoilers, side skirts, bigger air spaces and a new rear wing. For the car’s interior the japanese tuner offers a lot of accessories that will increase the driver’s comfort. [click to continue…]
