The tuners at B&B have released three new stages of performance for the popular Volkswagen Scirocco R. In the first stage, an upgrade to the ECU and the electronic injection system were tuned to squeeze out 306 bhp with 410 Nm of torque from the engine. With those numbers the Volkswagen Scirocco R was able to reach a top speed of 275 km/h. The second level of upgrades include a new exhaust downpipe, air flow system, ignition, and fuel injection to produce 320 bhp and 435 Nm of torque, while reaching a top speed of 279 km/h. Upgrades to the turbo and full exhaust come next with the third package from B&B.

Now this is a Hummer! We’ve seen some interesting things done to the Hummer H2, however GeigerCars latest build definitely tops them all with this Mattracks rubber tracking system. Called the Hummer H2 Bomber, the tuning company swapped the regular 20×8.5 wheels with a Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber track kit that can handle almost any type of terrain. The rubber tracks are 40 cm wide and 150 cm long and powered by the 398 hp V8 engine. Torque numbers show 574 Nm, so the new wheels package on the GeigerCars Hummer H2 should be similar to a war tank. I’m just wondering if they took this idea from the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Trax.

Here we have the latest Novitec Rosso tuning job on the Ferrari California, which received a nice power boost and styling upgrade. The notorious Ferrari tuners from Novitec increased the 4.3-liter V8 powerplant to produce 606 hp at 7,900 rpm with 603 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Thanks to the addition of a new supercharger with 0.4 bar of boost pressure, the Ferrari California also received a water-to-air intercooler, special intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and a custom exhaust system that allows the driver to control the sound. A new ECU with precise tuning from Novitec Rosso coordinates all these aftermarket parts hooked up to the Ferrari, and this supercar is now able to hit the 100 km/h mark in just 3.8 seconds.
