Check out the new Mercedes E50 Coupe that has been tuned by the German firm Kicherer. Based off the Mercedes E-Class line, the E500 received the nickname E50 Coupe from the tuning company after it received several styling and performance upgrades. Consisting of the Kicherer Performance series styling, made of carbon fiber, the exterior of the Mercedes was hooked up with a new front lip spoiler, side skirts, carbon fiber mirror casings, rear diffuser, and optional three blade sports grille. The wheels you see are aftermarket 20-inch RS-1 that recently hit the market, and come wrapped in high performance tires along with a new braking system underneath.

For those who are not satisfied with the performance numbers of their 4WD Subaru Impreza 2.0 Diesel, the Unichip tuners have released an upgrade that is surprisingly not for the Subaru STi model. Using the latest plug and play technology, the U-Connect piggy back ECU tuning software enables subtle electronic tweaks. Enhancing the Impreza’s fuel and boost output, the performance gains are quite significant. After being tested on the dyno, the new electronics added 17 bhp and 36 lb ft of torque over the stock Subaru Impreza model.

Here is the GeigerCars latest tuning program for the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 that includes a few styling improvements and a nice power increase. At the exterior level, a couple modifications consist of a new racing chassis and 20-inch alloy wheels from OZ measuring 20×8.5 in the front, and 20×10 in the rear. They come wrapped in high performance Michelin tires, but the most impressive changes to the Shelby Mustang were made under the hood. GeigerCars increased the power to an incredible 810 hp from the 3.3-liter compressor, which is able to develop 1.6 bar of pressure through the 5.4-liter V8 powerplant. With that kind of horsepower figure, you know the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 had to receive some heavy duty parts.

The Japanese tuners from Premier4509 have created a limited edition package for the Ferrari 430 that looks stunning. This program is going to be limited to only 300 sets so reserve it now before they’re gone. It consists of a new front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, rear wing, and exhaust tip. Besides the new aerodynamic enhancements, the tuning firm installed a set of PL-V wheels measuring 19×8 in the front, and 20×13 at the rear. The car appears to be lowered, however it is most likely the larger sized wheels that are creating this illusion. New air vents in the front and along the sides help contribute to the aerodynamics, while the stylish rear wing provides enough down force to handle the Ferrari 430 power.

The German tuning firm Carlsson announced earlier this month of their latest sports car project dubbed the C25. This came prior to the Geneva Motor Show, where we all got to see the Carlsson C25 masterpiece. From the front view of the car, you can describe it as dynamic and aggressive, with trapezoid shapes for the large air inlets. Typical Carlsson styling if you ask me, but if you look at it from the side, it confirms the fact that we are looking at classic GT-proportions, with a front centered engine. The rear view is just as impressive, and even holds a highly visible aerodynamic functionality.
