Project Kahn released these images of the luxurious Audi A8 that has been customized to show its true sportiness. The tuning firm added 21-inch F1-X Carbon Fiber Edition wheels, FWD, paragon tinted windows, Audi Space Frame aluminum body, and an adjustable air suspension to give it this look. It leaves all competition on the sidelines when it comes down to being eco-friendly. With the all aluminum body, the Audi A8 is very lightweight, which reduces its emission levels drastically. It only emits 199 g/km of CO2 from the extremely efficient 2.8-liter gas engine. Additionally, the emissions of NOx have also been reduced since the engine is still fueled by gasoline.

The tuners at Oakley Design have released the updates for the Ferrari 458 Italia package that will increase the production to seven cars, instead of the previously planned five. High demand for this unique Ferrari car has pushed the tuning company to make a couple more, and each will hold an individual numbered plaque. A new carbon fiber front spoiler lip was installed, which increased the downforce by 25kg after some wind tunnel testing. A rear spoiler added an additional 23kg to the rear axle, and both of these test were completed at 150 mph. Other exterior modifications include the Oakley Design carbon fiber roof panel, mirror covers, and engine cover below the rear window glass.
The Russian tuning firm TopCar has released these pictures of the BMW 5-Series set to be revealed at the Moscow Motor Show. It is called the CLR 500 RS2 package, and features several styling upgrades. On the exterior, the BMW received a new full body kit consisting of a front bumper with LED side markers, rear bumper, side skirts, vented hood, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser that lets the quad exhaust system fit nicely. All these aftermarket body parts are made from vacuum formed Kevlar and carbon fiber. The wheel package features M-Style Lumma Design rims, measuring 19 or 20-inches. Inside the custom BMW 5-series, TopCar added Nappa leather and carbon fiber elements throughout, to give the customer a unique interior.
The Porsche 911 Turbo is an amazing car, and from the factory comes with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine producing 500 PS and 651 Nm of torque. This power was plenty enough for the tuners at Vorsteiner, however they are well known to push cars to the limit in terms of exterior styling. For this project, the tuning company installed their own body kit to improve the aerodynamics, and gave this Porsche 911 its full potential. It consists of a custom front fascia featuring new air intakes, side skirts, new rear bumper, and diffuser underneath. A larger spoiler was swapped out with the stock piece, saving weight with the new carbon fiber design and providing extra downforce for all that power.
Being a professional basketball player definitely has its perks, and here we have Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers showing off his pimped out BMW M6. Out of all the cars he could have picked with his $13.8 million a year salary for the 2010-2011 season, he decided to go with a BMW M6. Personally, I would have just ordered a Bugatti with that kind of money, but the modifications Bynum went with were worth the time. He chose G-Power to increase the performance with a stage 3 kit consisting of a new supercharger system, ECU tuning, and exhaust system. The result is over 800 horsepower in this custom M6, much more than the factory 500 hp, and he didn’t stop there.
