Mansory does some incredible work, and with this Aston Martin DB9 they transformed it completely with a ridiculous amount of carbon fiber dubbed the Cyrus. There’s no doubt the idea came from their previous work and accomplishments on the Bugatti Veyron Vincero and Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero models. Their work is amazing and one of the most stunning Aston Martin DB9 models we have ever seen. The car was recently released at the Frankfurt Auto Show and received the attention it deserves. It was completely re-done with all carbon fiber for every piece of the body. Except the rear fenders which couldn’t shape the carbon fiber accordingly, Mansory glued on carbon fiber panels that are two inches wider with adhesive exclusively from Lamborghini.

Here we have a customers car from the American based tuners at Vivid Racing, a Porsche 997 C4S that received some expensive parts. Recently Vivid Racing released their Porsche 997 Twin-Turbo that accomplished a staggering 800 hp. For this car tuning project they started off by installing the NR Auto replica TechArt body kit, which gave it a new aggressive look. With the new car styling, the customer felt the need for aftermarket wheels to complete the aggressive body kit, and went with the HRE P43 wheels. The wheels measure 19×8.5 in the front, and 19×11 in the rear, and allows them to fit flush with new Porsche 997 widebody styling.

Without a doubt the Ferrari Enzo is one of the most exclusive and rare cars available on the tuning market with a 6.0-liter 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta. Dubbed the Enzo XX Evolution, Edo Competition took it to the next level by increasing the performance with several aftermarket parts. They were able to increase the displacement from 6.0 to 6.3-liters, added new camshafts, connecting rods, titanium valve spring retainers, and then modified the cylinder heads for the displacement increase. High performance exhaust headers were installed, along with high flow catalytic converters and a muffler. The stock hydraulic tappets on the Ferrari Enzo were replaced with solid tappets that allow the 12 cylinder Enzo XX Evolution to rev a remarkable 9,600 rpm. Edo Competition was able to boost the Ferrari Enzo to 840 horsepower, while making the vehicle 100 kilograms (220 lbs) lighter.

Recently Sportec upgraded the Audi TT-RS to 400 hp, but now ABT has released their latest car tuning kit for the Audi on the German market. The brand new Audi TT-RS from the factory comes with 340 hp which isn’t bad, however ABT decided it was not enough for the convertible. They were able to increase the horsepower by 80, for a total of 420 hp, which is the same horsepower number for a stock Audi R8. This is a great figure for some simple engine tuning, and the track numbers are just as impressive. At the track, the customized Audi TT-RS was able to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed limited to 282 km/h. That is only the Stage 1 kit installed by the tuning experts, now imagine what a Stage 2 or Stage 3 could do for the new Audi.
