The world renowned tuning company SpeedART has released a new custom program for the Porsche 997 Turbo called the BTR II 580. The name stands for Bi-Turbo-Racer, and is the second generation of Porsche tuning completed by SpeedART. This new project is based off the 2010 Porsche 977 Turbo that comes with a 3.8-liter engine and a PDK gearbox. Improvements under the hood increased the horsepower by 80 and brought the torque up by 120 Nm. This was accomplished with aftermarket parts such as a modified motronic sports exhaust system with 200 cell catalytic converters along with the standard ECU tuning.
The guys from Mcchip have improved the power and torque for the Ford Focus RS with a new high performance kit.

The second stage includes a new intercooler, spark plugs, intake manifold, sports exhaust system, and a chip to bring it to 401 horsepower and 612 Nm of torque.
Gemballa released a new Ferrari Enzo tuning kit called the MIG-U1 that was supposed to debut at the Dubai Motor Show, but missed the cut-off date this month. This limited edition Ferrari model was completed for Gemballa’s Middle East distributor, the Illyas and Mustafa Galardi Group. They used Mustafa’s personal Ferrari Enzo for the project, and ended up with some stunning results. Built like a MIG fighter jet, the Enzo features a new aerodynamic body kit consisting of several parts. The performance numbers haven’t been released yet, but should be available soon if Gemballa plans to reveal it at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March.
A new tuning kit from Cargraphic has been released for the Audi R8 that enhanced the exterior appearance significantly. The package consists of a new airlift suspension system and carbon fiber aerodynamic body parts. Lowering the front of the Audi R8 up to 72 mm in 15 seconds, the aftermarket airlift system doesn’t alter the performance of the stock pieces. Featuring air bellows and a separate compressor, the airlift suspension system isn’t considered the same as the typical air suspension. If traveling at speeds above 50 km/h, the new airlift system will automatically lower the vehicle.
