Undergoing a complete make over, this Porsche Carrera GT has been modified by the Austrian car tuning company Koenigseder. Nicknaming it the Devil, Koenigseder was able to give this Carrera a nice aggressive look with a new body kit. The kit you see here is a completely unique body kit that transforms this Porsche, starting with new bumpers all around, and ending with air intakes coming from the roof. It is still a Porsche Carrera GT under all the exterior mods, and it still holds its performance numbers under the hood. But if you look at the fancy additions to the exterior, you can tell this kit from Koenigseder doesn’t come cheap, and we have the prices for you.

Fabulous Ferrari F430
Japanese car tuning company Fabulous usually customizes luxury sedans in the JDM market, however they went with the exotic Ferrari F430 this time and I’d say they did a fabulous job. With most of the vehicles they modify, exterior styling such as body kits, large diameter wheels, and suspension including hydraulics is their specialty. The kit you see here consists of fiber reinforced and carbon fiber pieces installed, and is available for any Ferrari F430 ’04 and up. It includes a new front bumper with spoiler attached, side skirts, a new rear wing with diffuser installed underneath, and also custom fitted exhaust ports.
Lumma Design BMW 3-Series
Tuning company Lumma Design knows how to get car enthusiasts thrilled when they released this package for the very popular BMW 3-series. The owner Horst Lumma personally guarantees that all cars tuned by his company are in the best hands and that you will be satisfied with your modifications. For this particular model, Lumma decided to convert this average BMW E92 3-series and make it look like the powerful M3 model. To start it off, the front fender was redesigned using composite fiber material while keeping OEM standards; they added original M3 air ducts and installed LED turn signals. The mirrors received carbon fiber caps to give it a racing look, and the front bumper has carbon fiber inserts in the grille as well.
MEC Design Mercedes Benz S-Class
European car tuning company MEC Design has released a new body kit for the Mercedes Benz S-Class with several options for the customer. The front received a two-face front bumper hookup which allows the customer to choose between having the air intakes filled with daytime running lights and fog lights, or simply mesh. Moving onto the rear of the vehicle, you have the option of a rear diffuser or a sport version diffuser which you see pictured. A custom stainless steel quad exhaust system is installed with either diffuser option. With the custom exhaust, the owner is given the option of the ‘Earthquake’ version which delivers maximum sound, or they can choose a milder version that is close to the stock sound.
Switzer P700 Nissan GT-R
Switzer Performance Innovation (SPI), a car tuning company from Ohio, have released details on their P700 package for the highly anticipated Nissan GT-R. With over 15 years experience tuning all different imports from Europe to Japan, Switzer Performance was able to get 700hp out of this GT-R, hence the ‘P700’. SPI is well-known for tuning Porsche’s and recently introduced the 1,000 hp Sledgehammer 997. However, for this project they aimed to maintain a reliable and everyday driver at 93 octane. At stock the new Nissan GT-R is able to produce 480 hp and 434 ft-lbs of torque. So the first major upgrade SPI decided to go with were brand new Garrett GT ball-bearing turbochargers with custom compressor wheels to increase the boost.

For this project Gemballa gave this Cayenne the complete package by adding exterior, interior, and performance modifications. Under the hood it received several improvements including forged pistons, aftermarket connecting rods, racing turbochargers, and a new intercooler allowing a 90 percent increase in the cooling area. These upgrades boosted the cubic capacity of the engine to 5.0 liters, and new racing headers as well as a sport exhaust system were added. With all those modifications the Tornado 750 GTS Porsche Cayenne Turbo produces 750 hp and 1,050 Nm of torque, with a 4.3 second 0-100 km/h and top speed of 300 km/h.
Relux Mercedes Benz S-Class
German car tuning company Relux brings us the luxuriuos Mercedes Benz S-Class with a stealthy all black look. Although the company is from Germany, their products are more popular in Dubai and Asia. For this Mercedes S-Class model they chose to go with several interesting exterior modifications. At the front is a new spoiler with daytime running lights added, which remains questionable in the looks department. The rear received a new bumper with a large diffuser allowing the awkwardly shaped exhaust pipes to be installed. To top off the exterior, 20″ matte black wheels and dark tint give this Mercedes S-Class the stealth look.
RDSport RS35 Biturbo BMW 335i
For those wishing to increase the performance of an already stellar platform, RDSport offers the RS35 Biturbo. The first impression you get of the car is its lower, more aggressive stance courtesy of a Chassis Kit consisting of new custom-valved Bilstein struts, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars. The vehicle now sits 25 mm lower in the front and 20mm lower in the rear with a decidedly more stable ride.

Vauxhall Opel Insignia OPC VXR
Vauxhall, a car tuning subsidiary of General Motors reveals their British version of the Opel Insignia OPC, the Vauxhall Insignia VXR. A 2.8-liter V6 turbocharged engine and a four wheel drive chassis make it a sophisticated vehicle. This is Vauxhall’s first Insignia that will be using their 4×4 technology through a custom chassis design that reduces torque-steer, while maintaining negative camber at the wheels during cornering, to improve the traction in wet or dry conditions. The turbo ECOTEC engine produces 325hp and can reach 60mph in 5.8 seconds while the design of this particular model has been inspired by the Vauxhall Opel GTC. A larger bumper supporting twin mesh grilles stands out in the front, and in the rear some models receive a spoiler to compliment the unique bumper molding, fitted with the dual chrome exhausts.
FAB Design Mercedes SLR McLaren
FAB Design brings us their new model the “Desire,” however most of you probably wouldn’t desire this particular look for your Mercedes SLR McLaren. Although the numbers are impressive, it looks like FAB Design has too much time on their hands and went over the top with this look. What do you think? Anyways, the body has been redesigned by the Swiss company to include sturdy and light weight carbon that is produced in an autoclave. Exclusive FAB Design side skirts allow the high performance exhaust system to come out of the sides. In the rear they installed a large diffuser to reduce lift force, and gave buyers the option of the rear wing to increase down force without limiting the cars performance.
Wheelsandmore Ford GT
The Ford GT is already an amazing sports car; however, Wheelsandmore felt the performance could still be improved. The German car tuning company decided to modify this car even though it doesn’t really need much tuning to perform with the top names out there like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche. The color scheme for this particular car may not appeal to many, but the power numbers will. With a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and sport catalysts, and an upgrade to the ECU, the Ford GT’s power increased to 608hp and 790lb-ft of torque. Those are some impressive numbers; however, a larger compression ratio unleashes its true potential and brings huge power gains of 710hp and 840lb-ft of torque.
Mcchip-Dkr Audi TTS
This sharp looking black on black Audi TTS has received a power boost from the car tuning company Mcchip-Dkr. From the factory, the standard TTS comes with a 2.0 liter engine capable of producing 272 horsepower. For a small two seat convertible that isn’t bad, however the German tuner Mcchip-Dkr believed that this was not enough and released a new tuning program for the Audi TTS. They were able to gain over 40hp from the stock engine by simply programming the ECU.
