The Opel tuning specialists at Steinmetz have unveiled a new package for the 2010 Opel Astra J. In desperate need of a refined look, the tuners hooked it up with several aerodynamic parts including a new front spoiler, blacked out grille, and rear roof spoiler that flows with the styling lines. Enhancing the exterior look are stainless steel strips in silver and anthracite to cover the door handles and sides. Giving the Opel Astra J a sportier look is the suspension lowering kit to drop the car 30 mm closer to the ground. For the wheels, Steinmetz offers two styles, a ST10 and ST7 which both measure 19×8.5 inches.

The guys from Switzer have taken the Porsche 911 GT2 R911S to a whole new level of performance with their car tuning package. Instead of adding any styling improvements to the Porsche, the tuners have focused all of the attention under the hood. The Porsche 911 GT2 is the fastest road car in Porsche history, but the customers feel they can always get a little more power, so that’s where Switzer comes in. After the tuning upgrades, the 911 GT2 put down 911 horsepower, ironic right, which is 291 hp more than the factory car, and just 89 hp less than the notorious Bugatti Veyron!

Raising the numbers from 245 hp and 540 Nm of torque, the sport SUV now carries 275 hp and 620 Nm of torque. Hamann was able to accomplish this by tuning the Motronic engine management system to deliver more fuel and air. Now the exterior styling is what really enhanced the look of the BMW 5-Series GT.
