One of the cars that almost every car tuner wants to modify is the Nissan GT-R. They all try to stand out from the crowd and each tuning company redesign and bring a lot of improvements to this Japanese car. Shadow Sport Design made a new aerodynamic kit for the Nissan GT-R that is completed by a set of 20″ forged magnesium wheels. The new aero package includes a front under spoiler, a rear wing and a rear diffuser that incorporates the new tailpipes of the full titanium muffler.

We all love modified Mustangs and GeigerCars.de offer an exclusive tuning package for the new Ford Mustang. GT 520 modified by GeigerCars delivers 520 HP, reaches a top speed of 287 km/h, it has a new racing inspired body styling painted with hot orange and an exclusive interior with 10,000 watt sound system. The car tuner reworked this Ford’s engine and after they increased the displacement from 4.6L to 5.2L, installed sport camshafts and reinforced the valvetrain this ride sounds like a rebord sports car legend. The new belt driven supercharger with a big intercooler and the fully stainless steel high performance exhaust system also contribute to the great driving sensation.

Carlsson is the german tuning company specialized in modifying Mercedes Benz models. They wanted to improve the Mercedes SL CK63 RS and with more performance, a complete aerodynamics kit, fine leather in the car’s interior and an exclusive varnish their final result is a masterpiece.
