A new car tuning kit for the Jaguar XF has been released by the guys at Loder1899. With some tweaks to the ECU, they were able to boost the 3.0-liter powerplant from the factory 275 bhp and 600 Nm of torque to 310 bhp with 680 Nm of torque. With this engine tuning, the luxury sports car can now accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.2 seconds, which is .2 seconds faster than the stock model. After that improvement, Loder1899 decided to focus on the exterior styling of the Jag XF.

First, you will notice the brand new 21-inch black alloy rims wrapped in 255 high performance tires at each corner. Additional aftermarket modifications consist of the new front apron, carbon fiber diffuser and boot lid spoiler to round out the rear. Black accents or blacked-out as we like to say, have been applied to the front grille, headlights, intake vents, hood vents and taillights for a stealth appearance. Even the Jaguar XF badges were covered with black and the tinted windows make it impossible for anyone to spy inside.

A final modification for this Jaguar XF project is the optional sport exhaust system from Loder1899, which allows the customer to improve the sound of the car while also aiding performance from the tuning under the hood.

Here is a new Audi R8 project from the tuners at XXX Performance after their lime green R8 took the world by storm last year. A blue chrome wrap from CFC has this one looking much different, but still features a wide body kit along with roof scoop, rear diffuser, side additions and matte black accents.

Some performance modifications include the H&R coilover kit to lower the sports car, while also allowing the driver to raise the vehicle with the touch of a button. This give the Audi R8 a super flush fitment for the 20-inch Forgiato rims wrapped in 235/50 and 325/25 Hankook high performance tires.

Final touches for the tuning under the hood bring us the new carbon air box and software tweaks to boost the output to 650 bhp. Lastly, a valve control system for the exhaust system was installed by XXX Performance, so the Audi R8 owner can adjust the exhaust note depending on their mood.

Check out this latest video from Hennessey Performance, showcasing their new 2014 VelociRaptor SUV based on the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor truck. If you want a truck that has it all, then look no further as the $149,500 price tag is not a joke. It features a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant that has been supercharged from the factory 411 bhp, to now produce a whopping 600 bhp. This allows the sporty truck as we may say, to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds which is 1.6 seconds faster than the stock version.

While some may question the cost of this tuning, let it be known only 30 of these Hennessey VelociRaptors will be constructed annually. A wide range of additional upgrades including Brembo front brakes, larger wheels and tires, electronic modifications, a custom interior and full security measures along with an armoring system will net you the baddest truck on the block. Watch the Hennessey VelociRaptor video below, you might forget it’s even in the same class as the Ford F-150.

Owning and driving a performance car is a privilege; it is an exhilarating and thrilling experience that separates them from standard vehicles. With their elegant design, upgraded suspension and tuned exhausts they are a luxurious commodity. Possessing such a beautifully engineered machine is what makes custom detailed insurance essential; by searching for specialist insurers, you receive personalized coverage that can reduce your premium.

Insurance companies have four categories of classification: standard, performance, sports, and high performance sports. With such extensive categorization it is understandable that ordinary insurance does not offer significant enough coverage for performance cars. Although the traditional three main types of policy are available, specialists will normally suggest fully comprehensive instead of third party and third party, fire and theft due of the nature of the vehicle. Performance cars present obvious risks that the mainstream insurance market would rather avoid, which is why having help from experts is important.

Furthermore, average providers lack the understanding and passion that dedicated performance insurers have. http://cherished.carolenash.com/ is a well versed insurance company with over 20 years’ experience; they combine their knowledge and enthusiasm to exceed other insurance providers. Carole Nash appreciates the creative ingenuity that goes into performance cars, and recognizes the personalized needs of the car because of their connoisseur ship. Due to this passion, they sympathize with how daunting premium insurance can seem.

Although the initial cost of the policy can seem expensive, it is nothing compared to the potential cost should your vehicle be involved in an accident. What is more, Cherished provides insurance assessed for each individual client so that the best coverage is agreed upon to work with your needs and budget. If your car is your pride and joy, it is vital to be able to drive with peace of mind. The creative innovation of these machines should not be held back by ordinary, insufficient insurance.

Now this is why you do not race through traffic, even if you own a Subaru STi or other well designed sports car. This stupid kid thought weaving in and out of traffic at nearly 200 km/h would somehow be safe? At first you notice some near crash chances, but then once in the tunnel the light at the end makes it impossible to see. Of course there were about 50 cars backed up at the end, so he plows through 10 or more cars causing tons of damage and possibly hurting some people at those speeds. This is just a reminder that if you own a sports car, think about the others on the road first before trying to race through traffic. Instead, take your car to the track and really find out its true potential before destroying it for one minute of “fun” with your friends.
