It’s that time of the year again! Summer has come to an end and here are pictures from the 2010 Miss Tuning Calendar with the hottest car babe. Featured in this year’s car tuning calendar is the 19 year old Martina Ivezaj who posed in the British Virgin Islands for Christian Holzknecht. Several of the shots show the many facets of the British Virgin Islands, and the typical life of living by the Caribbean beaches. However I doubt many of you will be looking at the landscape, because Martina is one sexy car babe.

The tuning specialists from Hamann are well known for their German customizations, but this time they turned to the Italian supercars and modified the Ferrari California. They offer an ECU tuning package that reprograms the computer giving a 20% improvement over the stock numbers. The Ferrari California’s 4.3-liter V8 is boosted to 552 horsepower after the tune, and Hamann installed several aerodynamic parts. These include custom side vents, side skirts, and a custom rear wing which are available in either fiberglass or carbon fiber. A new carbon fiber two-piece front spoiler with integrated side moldings was also made to fit the Ferrari California aftermarket body kit.

ABT Sportsline, a leader in tuning Volkwagen cars has taken the VW Polo and added new character to the impressive little four door hatchback. The exterior of the redesigned Polo features a carbon fiber rear spoiler, rear bumper insert, and a dual piped exhaust system for a dominant sound. On all fours are Titan type Z 18×8 inch wheels by ABT Sportsline to emphasize the sporty look and make the car bolder. ABT decals with their logo line the bottom of the car to show that it is a pure thoroughbred from the Allgaeu sports car family. On the performance end of the spectrum, ABT offers an extra kick for the Volkswagen Polo with tuning packages for the 1.6-liter TDI turbo engine.

Mansory does some incredible work, and with this Aston Martin DB9 they transformed it completely with a ridiculous amount of carbon fiber dubbed the Cyrus. There’s no doubt the idea came from their previous work and accomplishments on the Bugatti Veyron Vincero and Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero models. Their work is amazing and one of the most stunning Aston Martin DB9 models we have ever seen. The car was recently released at the Frankfurt Auto Show and received the attention it deserves. It was completely re-done with all carbon fiber for every piece of the body. Except the rear fenders which couldn’t shape the carbon fiber accordingly, Mansory glued on carbon fiber panels that are two inches wider with adhesive exclusively from Lamborghini.

Here we have a customers car from the American based tuners at Vivid Racing, a Porsche 997 C4S that received some expensive parts. Recently Vivid Racing released their Porsche 997 Twin-Turbo that accomplished a staggering 800 hp. For this car tuning project they started off by installing the NR Auto replica TechArt body kit, which gave it a new aggressive look. With the new car styling, the customer felt the need for aftermarket wheels to complete the aggressive body kit, and went with the HRE P43 wheels. The wheels measure 19×8.5 in the front, and 19×11 in the rear, and allows them to fit flush with new Porsche 997 widebody styling. These monoblock wheels definitely alter the appearance and add new dimensions to his car. Check out the photos after the jump and visit the guys at Vivid Racing for all your Porsche needs.
