Hate it or love it, the Chrysler PT Cruiser was a great success over the past decade for the Detroit car manufacturer. Here we have a custom tuning project based on the PT Cruiser which received a powerful Viper V10 engine. Previously we have seen several makes fit the Viper powerplant under the hood, some including the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Saab 9-3, and even a Jeep Wrangler. We can now safely say a PT Cruiser holds the venom found in a modern day Viper at a fraction of the cost.
The all new Nissan Juke is definitely a unique car, so the tuning firm Impul from Japan decided to add some extra styling and performance for the already great selling model. This Nissan Juke tuning kit starts out with a new front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser, and large rear wing. Additional aesthetically pleasing mods include the redesigned front grill, decals, and mirror trim. Under the hood, Impul updated the computer software for both the non-turbo and turbocharged versions of the Nissan Juke 1.6-liter 4-cylinder powerplant.
Here we have another German tuning project, this time from the company Hartge on the BMW 6-Series convertible sports car. There are many tuning companies out there that like to modify the BMW platform. The largest include names such as Hamann, AC Schnitzer, and Prior Design. But Hartge has put out some nice kits for the BMW line of cars, this time for the F12 6-Series convertible. Now this tuning package may be light, but is still aesthetically pleasing. The exterior received new emblems, dual tail pipes, and new alloys rims measuring 19-20 inches. These come wrapped in high performance tires that fit perfectly in the wheel wells, and then the tuners moved to the interior of the BMW 6-Series convertible.
If you own a Maserati Quattroporte and are looking for improvements, then turn to the German Maserati tuning company MR Car Design for their latest package. It includes both performance upgrades and a new set of wheels to give your Maserati a unique look and feel. The tuners were able to customize the Maserati 4.2-liter V8 engine software and added a new exhaust system as well. The result is a power increase of 30 horsepower along with 29 extra Nm of torque, bringing the total output to 430 HP and 480 Nm of torque. The only cosmetic modification to the Maserati Quattroporte is the new 22-inch Vossen alloy rims wrapped in high performance tires measuring 245/30R22 up front, and 295/25R22 at the rear. Finally, a set of H&R springs, new 15 mm spacers for the rear, tinted windows all around, and custom tail pipe designs round out the Maserati Quattroporte kit.
The tuning firm Vilner has made the MINI Cooper S quite luxurious with their latest project. This masterpiece was inspired by the recent MINI Goodwood, a Rolls-Royce designed project. Now the tuners have redone the MINI Cooper S with Bentley styling for the interior. It consists of brown Nappa leather and Alcantara with a diamond shaped theme lining the seats, doors, and roof. Black leather trim compliments the unique Nappa leather, while the exterior received some interesting modifications as well. The MINI Cooper S was wrapped with a matte-grey foil, has black racing stripes running down the car, and a black roof. New 18-inch alloy rims were installed to round out the MINI tuning package, and they are finished in a matte color as well.
