Car Tuning
The tuners at Schwabenfolia have recently put Lambo doors on a Chevrolet Camaro SS for the upcoming New York Auto Show. We’re not quite sure if this is a good look for the once tough muscle car now trying to imitate an exotic. However, there are always people out there who will try it whether it looks good or not. At least we can say the tuning company added some power under the hood with a Magnuson TSV 2300 supercharger.
Tampa-based tuning company 813 Customs has sent us these pictures of their latest Chevy Camaro SS Convertible which we are going to call the King of Bling. Behind all this chrome is a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS with the factory 6.2-liter V8 engine. The exterior has been wrapped with a chrome car wrap while the interior received a red chrome paint for the custom boxes holding multiple speakers and subwoofers. Check out the video and more pictures of all the work below. Fitting 32’s on a Chevy Camaro SS isn’t easy.
The custom tuners from Chrome & Carbon in Dubai have sent us these images of their Chevy Camaro widebody kit called the Guyver. Why is it called the Guyver? The name is from an older Japanese anime series where the characters transformed into robotic warriors. This sports car definitely looks like it could have been in the movie Transformers while the widebody kit is priced at 18,000 USD or 13,500 EURO and will hold plenty of carbon fiber as expected from a company named Chrome and Carbon.
Here’s an interesting name, the Yellow Steam Hammer package has been recently released by German tuners O.CT Tuning for the Chevrolet Camaro SS. Obviously they did not think the 6.2-liter V8 producing 426 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque was enough. These guys decided to bolt on a new supercharger to give it some boost, resulting in a new output of 621 horsepower or 630 PS, while the max torque was recorded at 538 lb-ft or 730 Nm.
Popular American actress Mila Kunis has been featured on our latest car girls section posing in front of a new Chevrolet Camaro. She was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine on August 14, 1983 but moved to the US to persue her acting career for television shows and movies. See the list of all her famous works after the jump.
If you really need attention, then turn to the guys at Tintek, a Czech tuning company that specializes in chrome wrap as seen here on the Chevrolet Camaro SS. They say this is the first chrome wrapped car of its kind in the Czech Republic, and that would mean it’s also the only car that could possibly blind you. The tuners were able to do this with a special 3D foil car wrap applied to the exterior over the original paint. It seems that this is becoming more popular with tuning firms these days, so the customers must be pleased. Tintek has several other colors available as well with the chrome look, including gold, black, green, blue, orange, red, and violet. Hit the jump to watch a video of the car in action.
A new tuning kit for the Chevy Camaro convertible has been released by Hennessey Performance. We now have a video of the tuned ride, called the HPE600, and featuring a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. A TVS2300 supercharger to be exact, along with new high flow fuel injectors, cold air induction system, sport exhaust system, and a re-programmed ECU to keep everything running smooth. After the tuning, the modded Camaro now produces 602 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. At the track, this allows the Chevrolet to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, while completing the quarter mile in 12.0 seconds flat at 118 mph.
Here is the latest car tuning project from Hennessey Performance based on the all new Chevy Camaro SS called the HPE600. The orange car you see here is actually the model for the HPE550 package, but we think it looks better than the maroon HPE600 pictured below. It will be available for the 2010-2011 LS3 or L99 engines and boosted with a TVS2300 Supercharger System. Hence the HPE600 name, the modified Camaro now puts down 602 hp and 807 Nm of torque. The tuners who are located in Texas, claim that the 0-60 mph time is in the mid three-second range, and it can run the quarter mile in 11 seconds. A full list of performance customizations include the new supercharger system, HPE cold air induction system, 1 7/8 inch long tube stainless steel headers, fuel injector upgrade, high flowing catalytic converters, HPE engine management calibration, and a dyno tune to get everything in sync.
The tuners from aLL STaR Performance have revealed this image of the custom Chevy Camaro SS set to debut at the 2010 SEMA Show in a few weeks. They’ve been teasing the tuning enthusiasts with the Camaro under wraps, but we now have the clear picture of the project. From what we can see, Gene Marcel will take a more conservative route with this car, keeping the natural lines of the Chevy Camaro in tack. The paint job comes courtesy of Dupont, while a set of Forgestar wheels wrapped in Falken high performance tires complete the exterior.
Two tuners, Pennzoil and RCR Street Performance Group teamed up to complete this special edition Chevrolet Camaro SS for the track. Included in the package is a new aero kit consisting of a front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts, rear spoiler, and a carbon fiber hood. The tuning firms then decided to black out the tail lights and rear light area, redesign the front grille for a more aggressive look, and install a new set of 22-inch aftermarket wheels. Performance tuning was next on the list, and this Chevy Camaro SS went through an intensive lineup of parts.
Hurst Performance has released a limited edition package for the Chevy Camaro Series 5. Trying to keep it exclusive, only 50 of these models will be made each year, and will be painted with Hurst’s white and gold colors. It received a unique feature with a gold mica in the white and gloss black graphics that were placed along the hood, sides, and rear. The most interesting detail about this Hurst Performance Camaro are the custom forged alloy rims measuring 20-inches that come wrapped in BFG KDW high performance tires. Improving the aesthetic value even further is an AIR-SPEED rear deck spoiler to separate it from the norm.
