Drop Top Customs has taken the Chevy Camaro and done something not many would even consider doing to their car, chop the roof off! The tuning company is based out of Florida, under Convertible Builders LLC, and they do some of the most interesting modifications I’ve ever seen. Taking several different models, they turn each into a convertible soft-top with extensive custom work and structural reinforcements. Some other models they have converted to convertibles include the Dodge Challenger, Cadillac CTS, and the Chrysler 300C. This 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be revealed at the SEMA Auto Show, and should be the center of attention with this customization.

MFK has tuned the Audi RS6 to give the station wagon a more sporty appearance and larger power band. They were able to boost the 4.2-liter V8 engine that originally produces 450 hp. After the engine tuning, the Audi RS6 now boasts 520 hp which is quite impressive for the station wagon. For the exterior they installed a new front spoiler with larger air vents to bring more fresh air to the V8 under the hood. In the four corners are CC-Line 3-part wheels painted gloss black measuring 20×10.5 and wrapped with Dunlop high performance tires measuring 285/25/20. The huge wheel set definitely improves the handling on the MFK Audi RS6.

The new four door Porsche Panamera has been a hit on the tuning market lately, and Gemballa hooked it up with a nice wheel package. Gemballa is currently developing several tuning kits for the Porsche Panamera, however they have not made them available to customers just yet. Until then, Porsche owners will have to settle for the wheel kit that features 22 inch GT Sport rims. The wheels come wrapped with 265/30/22 tires in the front, and 315/25/22 for the rear. On the riveting edge of the wheels Gemballa painted it black to match the rest of the demonstration car. You can expect the several tuning kits in production for the Porsche Panamera to be revealed by Gemballa in early 2010. The new tuning package should include a fully tuned Panamera with modifications to the engine, suspension, and bodywork.
