The tuning company from Latvia called Vipon has wrapped the BMW 318i in crocodile leather and offers this wrap for all cars. About a year ago we saw the snake skin wrapped Bentley Continental GT and the real whale penis leather Prombron from the Dartz tuners. The guys from Vipon did not say if this crocodile leather is real or not, but it is definitely a unique look for the BMW 3-series sedan. If you can’t tell already, the car received a facelift with a new body kit consisting of a front lip spoiler, side skirts, and rear apron. Rounding out the BMW kit is what appear to be AC Schnitzer rims on all fours, and final touches include the LED lights placed in the grille and underneath the front bumper of the car.

The new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is sure to be on many tuning companies list when it debuts on the showroom floors in September. It sort of reminds me of the Porsche Panamera when looking from the side, but it is said this design came inspired from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which was performed by VWvortex. Either way it is definitely a better look for the Beetle RS, since most of the owners of the previous model were female. It now carries that long lost swagger to attract the male tuning crowd and all the dedicated Volkswagen enthusiasts.

Check out this video in the cockpit of a Hennessey Ford GT driven by Sean Kennedy at the Texas Mile track. The Ford sports car actually belongs to Mark Heidaker, but the race driver Sean was able to bring the car up to 235 mph (378 km/h) at the Texas Mile track. At the Hennessey tuning companies shop, a custom twin-turbo setup was installed, along with several other parts to bring the output to around 1,000 horsepower. With this kind of a power a straight line race is best, however the Ford GT is still great on the track with the right driver.
