Irmscher has launched a special edition of the Dodge Journey Crossover in Germany to give the family car a complete makeover. The Journey SR is the product, and it receives a sporty look for the so called SUV, but it really still holds minivan features. It’s a family van that has been taken under the wing of the German tuning firm Irmscher, along with the cooperation of Dodge. The modifications are all cosmetic, so there are no performance gains for the stock 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine producing 140 horsepower. Included in the styling kit is a new front apron, roof spoiler, chrome tail pipes, and tinted rear windows.

Hurst Performance has released a limited edition package for the Chevy Camaro Series 5. Trying to keep it exclusive, only 50 of these models will be made each year, and will be painted with Hurst’s white and gold colors. It received a unique feature with a gold mica in the white and gloss black graphics that were placed along the hood, sides, and rear. The most interesting detail about this Hurst Performance Camaro are the custom forged alloy rims measuring 20-inches that come wrapped in BFG KDW high performance tires. Improving the aesthetic value even further is an AIR-SPEED rear deck spoiler to separate it from the norm.

The Japan based tuning company, 3D Design, has launched a custom styling kit for the BMW Z4. The latest project for the BMW Z4 E89 includes a full body kit to make the car more aggressive and transform it into a true head turner. Included in the new BMW aero package is a front spoiler lip, redesigned front bumper, rear diffuser finished in 1×1 twill carbon, and a trunk spoiler. The tuners then customized a third brake light cover that raises the housing so it can be seen with the aftermarket rear deck lip. Under the carbon fiber diffuser you will find four stainless steel exhaust tips from the high performance muffler system. 3D Design still leaves room for the customers to modify their BMW Z4 even further, while they also offer BBS and Work Brombacher wheel packages to give it a finishing touch.
