Senner Audi RS5

The all new Audi RS5 has received a tuning kit from the guys at Senner, consisting of performance upgrades, new wheels, suspension, and exterior mods. Under the hood, the powerful 4.2-liter V8 FSI engine was boosted to 506 PS and 478 Nm of torque. This increase of power comes from a valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system, and adjustments to the zero-pressure monitoring system. The top speed limiter was modified to allow 280 km/h, but without it the Audi RS5 can easily top 300 km/h with a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.2 seconds. Suspension and styling improvements came next.

Job Design Lexus LS460

The tuners at Job Design have made the Lexus LS460 even better with a nice looking body kit and a killer wheel package. They hooked it up with a set of VIP Modular wheels called the VR15 with a 6-inch lip at the rear, and 5-inch lip up front. Throw these wheels on the LS460, along with JIC Magic FLT-TAR coilovers and a Phantom Cup Kit Bag-Less Air Suspension, and you get an aggressive stance like no other. Everything about this car screams perfection and elegance, from the stunning 5 spoke rim design to the new custom big brake system. Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump to see if this Lexus is something you would drive.

Small details such as door handles and air intakes are also covered with hundreds of colors. The possibilities are endless, so check out the Bugatti website to make your own today!

Hopefully this will not be a new trend on the dyno block, but now we have a video of a Mitsubishi EVO falling off the dyno because the guys didn’t strap up the front. Two straps at the front is all that would have been needed to keep this from happening, and there seemed to be at least 10 people watching who were clueless. C’mon man! This better not be a customers car or else the company could go out of business for mistakes like this. Last week we had a video of some tuning company blowing the engine on a tuned Ford Mustang. Fortunately, no one was hurt in either of these accidents, but now its the cars that have to suffer from these idiots mishaps. Now, let’s just hope these guys have some good insurance for crashing the cars.

Irmscher i42 Camaro

The new Irmscher i42 Camaro was a hit at the Essen Motor Show, and now the tuning company plans to start producing a limited run of these cars. Based on the Chevrolet Camaro SS, it comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, but received a supercharger and custom exhaust for extra power. The tuners were able to boost the horsepower number to 509, and the track figures don’t lie. It is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, and top out at 275 km/h, which is much more powerful than the factory Camaro SS. This Chevy Camaro i42 needed a high performance brake kit from Irmscher, so they installed 380 mm discs with 6-piston calipers at the front, and 355 mm discs with 4-piston calipers at the rear.
