DMC Lamborghini Murcielago GT

May 17, 2011 | CATEGORIES: Lamborghini

The tuners at DMC have rolled out a new styling kit for the old school Lamborghini Murcielago LP580. This comes right after their tuning company announced the plans for a new Lamborghini Aventador kit, so you can tell they’re focused on customizing the Italian supercars for now. This package you see here for the LP580 consists of a new front fascia and rear bumper made of carbon fiber. However, that’s not all they created for the throwback Lamborghini, the guys at DMC also added a stainless steel exhaust and reprogrammed the ECU for max performance. With these modifications, the 6.2-liter V12 now produces 600 hp and 495 Nm of torque, so it can be a close race now between the LP640 Murcielago and the LP580.

Check out this car, a Dodge Viper with a Saab 9-3 stationwagon body on top, proving that anything is possible when you use your imagination and have the right tools for the job. A team of Swedish tuners took on this Viper project after they originally bought it for a rebuild, then spare parts were difficult to come by, so the plans changed. Looks like it worked out well since they now have a Saab 9-3 powered by a SRT10 Viper engine. However, this custom build wasn’t easy because the V10 8.4-liter powerplant was too big for the engine bay, and it had to be pushed inside the cabin some. After the jump you can see more pictures and a video of the bodiless Viper doing donuts.

The German tuning firm Lumma Design has turned to the BMW 6-Series Cabriolet for modifications. The specialists at Lumma are known for unique designs and typical German styling, like seen here with the black rear wing on this 6-Series. Included in the new kit is a front bumper, rear bumper, grill inserts, rear wing, and a new exhaust system to improve the sound. It wouldn’t be a BMW tuning project without a new set of wheels, so Lumma Design added their own rims measuring 21×9.5 up front, 21×10.5 at the rear, and come wrapped in high performance tires sized 255/30R21, and 295/25R21 respectively.

Novitec Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

May 13, 2011 | CATEGORIES: Alfa Romeo

The Italian tuning company Novitec Rosso has beefed up the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider coupe to make it one of the most powerful Alfa’s on the street. Starting off with a new supercharger for the 4.7-liter V8, it had to be customized to fit under the bonnet. After the tuners made it fit, the power was boosted to 600 PS and 588 Nm of torque. An optional stainless steel exhaust is also available to annoy the neighbors while you drive down the road, or to intimidate the competition during a race. At the track, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider was able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 305 km/h.
