Another car set to reveal at the Essen Motor Show is the latest tuning project by LOMA Performance, the Corvette C6 BlackforceOne. Looking pretty slick, the Corvette C6 features the factory V8 engine set that has been twin-turbocharged to produce 783 horsepower, with a devilish 666 hp to the rear wheels. Track times from LOMA state it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in only 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). All this extra power is slowed down with carbon-ceramic disks and surprisingly the factory brakes. Other improvements to the performance of the Corvette C6 BlackforceOne include a new suspension, wheel package, and aftermarket exhaust system.

Underground Racing has released their 1500hp Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo that has an amazing sound in the video when under full throttle. This beast was built for a client named Jonah, and it has to be one of the best tuning jobs performed in a while. Dubbed the TTG, it produces a mind blowing 1500 horsepower to the wheels. That is an incredible number, and when factoring a 25 percent drivetrain loss, it most likely shows numbers around 1875 hp to the crank! Boosted at 30 psi, the Lamborghini Gallardo runs on VP C16 racing fuel, which is a step up from the previous Underground Racing Lamborhini Murcielago LP640, which accomplished 1300 rear wheel horsepower.

If you’re a tuning addict who loved the cars at the SEMA Show, but prefer more European models, then the 9ff Porsche 997 Turbo Speed9 debuting at the Essen Motor Show is for you. The Essen Show in Germany always has the top of the line European makes and models on display, so don’t miss out if you’re nearby. This Porsche 997 Turbo has been inspired by the legendary 356 (circa 1955) with roots coming from the 997 Turbo cabrio. Featuring the 3.6-liter twin-turbo, 9ff was able to obtain 650 hp from the stock 473 horsepower. The 6-cylinder sports car received an aftermarket exhaust, ECU tuning, and a new catalytic converter. These are impressive numbers for some simple modifications, and the tuners didn’t stop there.

Here we have an extreme tuning enthusiast who took his Nissan GT-R and wrapped it matte white at first, then decided to wrap it in chrome! It’s a little ridiculous in my opinion and definitely flashy, but the matte white looks good with the black wheels. It’s amazing what some people will pay to customize their car, the matte white car wrap alone costs $2,640. The chrome was even more expensive and took almost two weeks to complete the Nissan GT-R. The guy who wrapped his in chrome has a friend who also wrapped his GT-R in the common matte black which always looks good.

Chris Fesler and Jon Moss have revealed their latest tuning package for the Chevy Camaro in which they named it the Limited Edition Package. The first Camaro Enhancement Package turned out to be a success priced at $55,000 or $150,000 with the car included depending on the parts, but this time they have taken it even further. Included in the package is a completely carbon fiber Fesler-Moss body kit to give an extra aggressive look, along with front and rear sway bars, Fesler billet grille, billet tail lights, and carbon fiber or black reverse lights. Finishing touches for the exterior involve a stainless steel hood, trunk struts, and Corvette style door handles with a custom paint job and racing stripes placed accordingly.
