The tuning company Sportec has released this image of the performance upgrade for the 3.0-liter supercharge Audi S5. Featuring a V6 TFSI engine, the stage one kit consists of a free flowing air filter and ECU remap. The result is a power increase from 328 bhp to 425 bhp, a gain of 97 horses. Torque was also improved to a maximum of 520 Nm, which was previously at 440 Nm from the factory. At the track, the Audi S5 had a 0.5 second quicker 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 4.6 seconds, however the top speed is still limited to 250 km/h. Owners of the Audi who are interested in this tuning package can contact Sportec, and have this upgrade installed and tuned for 1,950 Euros, which includes VAT.
Here’s a funny video sent to us by a reader named Rudy, of Claus Ettensberger being the first person to ever get a speeding ticket in the not yet released Lexus LFA super car. Lexus only plans to make 500 of these cars, from December 2010 to the end of 2012, which is about 20 a month. Claus was lucky enough to be one the first people to test the $375,000 ride on the open street, and look what happened. One trip around the block and he got a speeding ticket for going 91 mph in a 35 mph zone. The rider with him said they were doing 103 mph, but the police officer didn’t gun them at the time. I’m just wondering how he didn’t get arrested for almost tripling the speed limit. I know that in most states and countries around the world some serious penalties would be fined, and probably have the car impounded immediately. They lucked out on this one I guess.
This is the latest project from the tuning firm MKB for the Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series called the P 1000. Featuring several styling and performance improvements, this Black Series Mercedes received larger turbos, new air intakes, upgraded cooling system, high performance camshafts, and an ECU tuning upgrade to top it off. You can already guess what the P1000 stands for, a whopping 1,000 bhp from the modified automatic transmission to handle all that power. MKB also offers a variety of limited slip differentials for the 6.0-liter V12 Mercedes-Benz.
Here is one of the first Bentley Continental Supersports to receive custom tuning from the American company WheelsBoutique. The stock wheels were swapped out with gloss black 22-inch HRE 940R’s, and wrapped in Pirelli PZero tires. The Bentley front end received a lip to match the color of the car, and the interior was fitted with several matching accessories as well. Additional modifications include a RSC exhaust system, an Evo MS Tune system, Mansory air filter, and a Renntech lowering module to complete the Continental Supersports.
The German car specialists at Senner Tuning have released a new line of performance and styling upgrades for the fresh off the market Audi A1. The Audi comes with the 1.6 TDI diesel engine that produces 105 hp and 250 Nm of torque from the factory.

A few extra additions to this good looking Audi A1 include a new sports exhaust system, 90 mm tail pipes, and a KW suspension kit to drop the car.
