DMC Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce SV
The German tuners from DMC have just released their Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce body kit which is based off the popular SV Edition. Starting off with the body kit, DMC redesigned the front and rear bumpers to increase downforce, then added a SV style diffuser. All these parts are made in pure carbon fiber by an Autoclave Vacuum oven. The exhaust you see exiting the rear holds a rear silencer, but customers have the option of extending the look with a sport metallic catalytic converter. Now let’s move onto the important facts, the performance tuning for the Lamborghini Murcielago Molto Veloce come next.

The 1.4 MultiAir was boosted from the original 170 PS to 195 PS, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta holding the 1.8-liter turbocharged powerplant received a total of 261 PS and 385 newton meters of torque.
Project Kahn Jeep Wrangler Tuning Kit
We’re starting to see more and more Jeep Wrangler‘s receive tuning kits from around the world. This time we have a new package from the notorious Project Kahn, who have prior experience hooking up sport utility vehicles. Modifications to this model include a new targa roof, new headlights, and side lighting. On the off-white exterior are contrasting 18 to 20-inch alloy wheels with a unique design that fits the Jeep Wrangler quite well. Inside the Jeep you will notice new red dials for the gauge cluster, along with red perforated leather covering the Wrangler seats for an extra custom feel.
Mopar Dodge Ram Kit
In an attempt to stay with the competition, Dodge has created this Ram Runner from the Dodge Ram truck with the aid of their tuning division Mopar. With the launch of the Ford F-150 Raptor, it looks like truck manufacturer’s will have to raise the bar when it comes to off-road capabilities. Dodge is trying to show off their Mopar Ram Runner kit that was developed along with off-road racer Kent Kroeker. This kit consists of a Pre-Runner Stage II lift kit, new off-road front bumper, new fenders, rear-tire holder, performance hood, and a full cat-back performance exhaust system.
Mopar Chrysler 300 Tuning Kits
The Chrysler in-house tuning brand Mopar, has stayed busy with upgrades for the latest Jeep automobiles, the new Dodge Charger and Challenger, and now with the new Chrysler 300 models. For the all new Chrysler 300 sedan, the tuners have launched a wide variety of custom grilles, and alloy wheels along with the Chrysler car company. Eight different grilles are available, all ranging from $310 to $750, made from billet aluminum, and feature a choice of Platinum Chrome, Gloss Black, and Bright Chrome finishes. The best part is that these aftermarket pieces will not void the manufacturers warranty like most mods.
Vorsteiner Mercedes E-Class E63 AMG V6E styling kit
Hold onto your seats, Vorsteiner has recently launched a new aero kit for the Mercedes E63 AMG called the V6E kit. Featuring many aesthetically pleasing carbon fiber parts, the styling package includes a new front lip spoiler, trunk spoiler, and rear diffuser. Also part of the kit are Vorsteiner’s forged V-308 rims wrapped in high performance tires. The tuning company claims that these are the most concave wheels on the market to fit the Mercedes sports car, but I beg to differ. There are so many competing wheel companies out there, and I have seen China imitation wheels on eBay with more concave than these. They are still great wheels from Vorsteiner though, and the stance looks impressive for the Mercedes E-Class.
Brembo GT-R Racing Brakes
Debuting at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas next week will be the new Brembo GT-R Racing Brakes. The top of the line GT-R racing brake kit will be available for high-end cars like Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, and more looking for the best brake system on the market. Pictures you see here are never before seen images from Italy, and show a race tested nickle plating exterior. The nickle plating is what F1 race teams use with their cars which are 10% lighter than the current Brembo brakes on the market. These GT-R Racing Brakes are much stiffer, provide better modulation, and in the end have a better braking response over the older design. The Brembo calipers feature better thermo-mechanical resistance through vented piston inserts.
