For those wishing to increase the performance of an already stellar platform, RDSport offers the RS35 Biturbo. The first impression you get of the car is its lower, more aggressive stance courtesy of a Chassis Kit consisting of new custom-valved Bilstein struts, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars. The vehicle now sits 25 mm lower in the front and 20mm lower in the rear with a decidedly more stable ride. Filling the fenders are lightweight, 20″ RD2 Monoblock wheels or the optional 20″ RS2 multi-piece wheels, shown. Tires are P Zero Nero’s supplied by Pirelli, our development partner.

Vauxhall, a car tuning subsidiary of General Motors reveals their British version of the Opel Insignia OPC, the Vauxhall Insignia VXR. A 2.8-liter V6 turbocharged engine and a four wheel drive chassis make it a sophisticated vehicle. This is Vauxhall’s first Insignia that will be using their 4×4 technology through a custom chassis design that reduces torque-steer, while maintaining negative camber at the wheels during cornering, to improve the traction in wet or dry conditions. The turbo ECOTEC engine produces 325hp and can reach 60mph in 5.8 seconds while the design of this particular model has been inspired by the Vauxhall Opel GTC. A larger bumper supporting twin mesh grilles stands out in the front, and in the rear some models receive a spoiler to compliment the unique bumper molding, fitted with the dual chrome exhausts.

FAB Design brings us their new model the “Desire,” however most of you probably wouldn’t desire this particular look for your Mercedes SLR McLaren. Although the numbers are impressive, it looks like FAB Design has too much time on their hands and went over the top with this look. What do you think? Anyways, the body has been redesigned by the Swiss company to include sturdy and light weight carbon that is produced in an autoclave. Exclusive FAB Design side skirts allow the high performance exhaust system to come out of the sides. In the rear they installed a large diffuser to reduce lift force, and gave buyers the option of the rear wing to increase down force without limiting the cars performance.

Today we preview one of the fastest Lamborghini Murcielago LP640′s tuned by Underground Racing. They’re an emerging car tuning company from America that customizes Vipers, Lambos, and the Ford GT. From the pictures that were released, via the LamboPower forum, we can see the car is twin-turbocharged with a bespoke exhaust system. They haven’t released the numbers or specifications yet; however, the last Lamborghini Gallardo Underground Racing tuned generated 1300 rwhp. That is an insane amount of power and we can only expect them to increase the numbers for this Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

The Ford GT is already an amazing sports car; however, Wheelsandmore felt the performance could still be improved. The German car tuning company decided to modify this car even though it doesn’t really need much tuning to perform with the top names out there like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche. The color scheme for this particular car may not appeal to many, but the power numbers will. With a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and sport catalysts, and an upgrade to the ECU, the Ford GT’s power increased to 608hp and 790lb-ft of torque. Those are some impressive numbers; however, a larger compression ratio unleashes its true potential and brings huge power gains of 710hp and 840lb-ft of torque.
