Sportec Porsche Panamera SP560
The Swiss tuners at Sportec have released a new upgrade package for the Porsche Panamera turbo called the SP560. Customizing the four door luxury sports car was quite a task, and now possesses a sportier stance, increased performance numbers, and an enhanced visual appeal. The most important tweaks to the Porsche Panamera were under the hood where the biturbo V8 was modified to produce 552 hp and 790 Nm of torque. After the engine tuning, the Sportec Porsche Panamera SP560 is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, with an overall top speed of 315 km/h.
Hennessey Performance Venom GT
Hennessey Performance officially revealed the first images and full details about the Venom GT, a supercar based off the Lotus Elise and Exige models. Powered by a 6.2-liter LS9 V8 engine from a Corvette ZR1, the tuners were able to boost the output to 725 hp. Hennessey Performance also plans to offer a twin-turbo version of the V8, with numbers well beyond 1,000 horsepower. The Venom GT car you see here weighs only 1,071 kg thanks to the carbon fiber body, and wheel package put together with the lightest parts. With this light of a car, Hennessey claims the 1,200 hp model can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 440 km/h. It should destory the factory Bugatti Veyron, since its top speed is only 408 km/h, and the Venom GT is significantly lighter.
9ff Porsche 911 on sale for $1.1 million
For those who remember our previous post about the 1,000 plus horsepower 9ff Porsche 911 GT9-R, you now have the chance to grab this prototype for around $1.1 million dollars. Marking its status as the prototype car, it bears the number 00/20, of which only 20 more are expected to be manufactured. Indicating that this Porsche 911 supercar is already an exclusive example of an already impossible to get car. For the money, you’ll get a twin-turbo Porsche with 1,120 horsepower, 4.0-liter flat six, six-speed, that weighs in at only 2,923 pounds.
B&B Volkswagen Scirocco R
The tuners at B&B have released three new stages of performance for the popular Volkswagen Scirocco R. In the first stage, an upgrade to the ECU and the electronic injection system were tuned to squeeze out 306 bhp with 410 Nm of torque from the engine. With those numbers the Volkswagen Scirocco R was able to reach a top speed of 275 km/h. The second level of upgrades include a new exhaust downpipe, air flow system, ignition, and fuel injection to produce 320 bhp and 435 Nm of torque, while reaching a top speed of 279 km/h. Upgrades to the turbo and full exhaust come next with the third package from B&B.
GeigerCars Hummer H2
Now this is a Hummer! We’ve seen some interesting things done to the Hummer H2, however GeigerCars latest build definitely tops them all with this Mattracks rubber tracking system. Called the Hummer H2 Bomber, the tuning company swapped the regular 20×8.5 wheels with a Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber track kit that can handle almost any type of terrain. The rubber tracks are 40 cm wide and 150 cm long and powered by the 398 hp V8 engine. Torque numbers show 574 Nm, so the new wheels package on the GeigerCars Hummer H2 should be similar to a war tank. I’m just wondering if they took this idea from the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Trax.
Novitec Rosso Ferrari California
Here we have the latest Novitec Rosso tuning job on the Ferrari California, which received a nice power boost and styling upgrade. The notorious Ferrari tuners from Novitec increased the 4.3-liter V8 powerplant to produce 606 hp at 7,900 rpm with 603 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Thanks to the addition of a new supercharger with 0.4 bar of boost pressure, the Ferrari California also received a water-to-air intercooler, special intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and a custom exhaust system that allows the driver to control the sound. A new ECU with precise tuning from Novitec Rosso coordinates all these aftermarket parts hooked up to the Ferrari, and this supercar is now able to hit the 100 km/h mark in just 3.8 seconds.
