Rowen Toyota Land Cruiser Styling Kit Now Ready

Rowen Toyota Land Cruiser 0 600x367 at Rowen Toyota Land Cruiser Styling Kit Now Ready
The latest styling kit developed by Rowen Japan is a tailored suit for the absolutely huge Toyota Land Cruiser 200. The iconic SUV gets a light treatment including only a few bits and pieces, but this being Rowen, those pieces have a profound visual impact on the car.
The main ingredients of Rowen Toyota Land Cruiser body kit include front half spoiler with LED spot lamps, side steps, rear under spoiler and rear tailgate spoiler. Given the rather serious character of the Land Cruiser some may find these styling parts a bit too over the top, but this Toyota is a fairly popular car and it is on sale on around the globe. Surely there are some people who would appreciate a bit of sportiness and a different look.
That is probably why the tuner has also included a sport exhaust system in the package – to really set their Cruiser apart from the rest. Rowen Toyota Land Cruiser comes with a PREMIUM01S sport exhaust system which, combined with the V8 engine, is going to be a good commodity to have. Not only it enhances the soundtrack of the SUV, it should also add a bit of oomph to the engine.

Who needs the Raptor when there’s the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged?

2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged
Supercharged off-road performance.
The Ford SVT Raptor was easily one of the baddest trucks on the market when it was first introduced. It could beat the snot out of any kind of terrain and was more than happy to take names in the process. Unfortunately, with the newest-generation of all-aluminum bodied Ford F-150 will not have a Raptor variant for 2015, so Hennessey Performance is picking up the slack with the new 2015 VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged.
“We’ve built over four-hundred VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Ford trucks over the past four years,” said John Hennessey. “We are simply picking up where we left off with our 2015 VelociRaptor. Having Ford’s world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement!”
The new 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged has all the good stuff that you’ll need to beat the piss out of dirt, mud, snow, or whatever decides to sit in your path. The big 5.0-liter V-8 gains a new Roots-type supercharger spinning up 8 PSI of boost pressure. Feeding the supercharger is a new high-flow air induction system while a stainless steel exhaust system optimizes backpressure and emits a baritone sound. Upgraded fuel injectors are controlled by a new Hennessey proprietary engine management calibration and it all results in an output that exceeds the 600 horsepower mark.
2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged
“The 2015 VelociRaptor 600 will offer the best of both worlds for our clients,” says Hennessey partner, Don Goldman. ”Many of our VelociRaptor owners use their trucks to drive to work or to take the kids to school. However, when the going gets tough, the VelociRaptor is highly capable in inclement weather and off-road conditions.”
It’s not all about power with the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged. New 33-inch BFGoodrich tires mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels are more than capable of handling themselves in all kinds of terrain. Optionally, customers can order a coil-over suspension, new bumpers, a front-mounted winch, LED light bards, Brembo brakes, and other accessories to make conquering off-road trails a supercharged breeze.
Only 500 units of the 2015 Hennesssey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will be produced with the 2015 Ford F-150. Pricing for the conversion starts at $73,500 including the F-150 Super Crew 5.0-liter V-8 that it is based upon. Customers will be able to order the conversion through nationwide Ford dealerships or Autonation’s 37 Ford dealerships in the US. Owners of the Ecoboost-powered 2015 F-150 will also have a VelociRaptor package available in the future.

Grey Olive Matte Metallic BMW 550i by Fostla.de

Grey Olive Matt Metallic BMW 550i by Fostla.de
Fostla.de has just completed work on a very special BMW 550i and has modified the car from all areas. The tuner has made a name for itself in recent times for its eye-catching designs and this 550i is certainly no different.
First and foremost, Fostla.de wrapped the 550i with a Grey Olive Matte Metallic wrap which has been inspired by the finish of a stealth bomber. Additionally, a number of gloss black elements can be found particularly with the wing mirrors, front splitter and rear diffuser.
Check out the new gallery!
Other key visual modifications include the installation of H&R lowering springs which drop the ride height by 35 mm as well as the fitment of Yido Performance YP1 wheels which are 20×9 at the front and 20×10 at the rear. Finally, 5 mm wheel spacers have been installed.

Mechanically, Fostla.de has installed a racing sports exhaust system with new downpipes as well as tinkered with the ECU. All up, power has been increased from 408 hp to 552 hp with torque also rising dramatically from 600 to 800 Nm.

G-Power Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe

G-Power Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe with 750hp
Well-known aftermarket tuner G-Power has just released its upgraded Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe with a few subtle visual modifications but most notably, a hefty bump in performance.
Typically the 5.5-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG delivers a more than healthy 577 hp. However, G-Power has managed to extract 695 hp from the potent engine as well as 1000 Nm of torque at 2250 rpm which is a 100 Nm boost over the standard car. When it is all said and done, the G-Power Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe will accelerate to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds in all-wheel drive guise as well as a top speed of around 330 km/h.
Check out the new gallery!
The extra power and torque has been achieved through the installation of the Bi-Tronik 5 V1 module which modifies things like ignition timing and fuel quantity while also moderately increasing the boost of the turbochargers. Pricing for the Bi-Tronik 5 V1 module starts at 6898 euros.
Alongside the engine changes, G-Power offers a set of wheels for the potent German luxury coupe. They are the Hurricane RR forged wheels and measure 21-inch at all four corners. They then feature 265/30 rubber at the front and 295/30 tyres at the rear and are priced at 9095 euros.

Mansory Ferrari F12 La Revoluzione Spotted in Dubai

mansory ferrari f12 1 600x326 at Mansory Ferrari F12 La Revoluzione Spotted in Dubai
Last we heard about the Mansory Ferrari F12 La Revoluzione, it was on its way to Russia. But that car, or its identical twin, has somehow ended up in Dubai, where it was spotted in the parking lot of a shopping mall, as per usual. And it is on Saudi number plates, which makes things more complicated.
The extremely maroon Mansory Ferrari F12 La Revoluzione is considered by many the ugliest car Mansory has ever built. But at the same time, it is one of the most exclusive creations of the Swiss/German tuner. There is nothing else like it in the whole universe.
What Mansory has done to the Ferrari F12 to create the La Revoluzione is to facelift it completely. This is more than just a normal styling kit. The bumpers are all-new, and so are the aero parts. All the grilles are custom, all the wings and fenders are custom, and it comes with some extras, like the roof scoop, which the standard version does not posses. The V12 engine in this car has also been heavily modified and now makes over 1,200 horsepower. Pretty special bit of kit, this.

The Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track Storms the Streets

Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track
Ruggedness for those with a taste for luxury.
The Land Rover Defender is an off-roading icon and rightfully so. It’s straightforward, boxy styling and simple design coupled with a tough and rugged powertrain and chassis gives it the ability to handle any kind of terrain around the world. It’s minimalistic, purposeful design might not be for everyone, especially those that have a more premium taste, but the new Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track has all the right stuff in all the right places.
Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track
The tough and rugged look of the Land Rover Defender’s exterior has even more testosterone in its new Chelsea Wide Track form. The front and rear wheel arches have been extended with boxier, square bodywork to complement the factory design. Up front, a new X-Lander grille sits between cross-hair military headlights while a new bumper and sump guard add to the more commanding presence. New hood vents also add a more dynamic touch to the overall character.
The Volcanic Rock Stain Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track also features a Chelsea Truck Company spare wheel cover at the rear along with two cross-hair stainless steel exhaust outlets. Filling in those brawny wheel arches are 9.0 x 20 Mondail wheels with a matching Volcanic Black finish and 275/55/20 tires. The fitment is completed with Liquid Red painted brake calipers that peek from behind the five-spoke wheels.

Behind the privacy tinted glass sits an array of luxury appointments crafted to suit any owner’s desires. In this featured Volcanic Rock Satin Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track, the front and rear seats were replaced with new GTB units wearing quilted and perforated leather with Harris Tweed inserts. The same premium material combination is also worn by the center glove box, passenger dashboard, door panel inserts, instrument binnacle, rear door panels, and more. A quilted leather roof headliner with LED ambient lighting adds to the high-end atmosphere along with the Churchill time clock. Drivers also benefit from a single-spoke steering wheel, red tachometer, and vented and machined aluminum foot pedals.
The featured Volcanic Rock Satin Land Rover Defender Chelsea Wide Track is currently available for £62,875.00. Customers also have the ability to custom tailor their SUV to their exact wishes and desires with the British design team to create a truly unique vehicle.

PP-Performance Works their Magic on the Ferrari F12Berlinetta

PP-Performance Ferrari F12Berlinetta

A little tune and tweak makes for a lot of fun.
The Ferrari F12Berlinetta is a very impressive grand tourer from Maranello in its own right. It’s what a Ferrari should be – sleek and with a potent V-12 and that exclusive touch. It’s commanding and powerful, and the team at PP-Performance was able to improve upon it even more with a few simple engine upgrades.
PP-Performance Ferrari F12Berlinetta
The mighty, 6.3-liter V-12 engine sitting ahead of the driver bellows with its glorious 730 naturally-aspirated ponies right off the factory line, sending it to 62 mph in a mere 3.1 seconds. Simply put, this stallion is an impressive beast right from Maranello. PP-Performance pumped up those muscles even more thanks to some good old-fashioned engine modifications.
The 6.3-liter V-12 engine was outfitted with a new BMC Race filter to suck more air in, more efficiently than before. A new FI (Frequency Intelligent) cat-less exhaust system allows the well-fed V-12 to quickly get rid of its combusted gasses with a ferocious sound. PP-Performance’s ECU tuning specialists were able to tune and transform the management system for optimized performance, resulting in a whopping 795 horsepower and 538 lb-ft. of torque, making it quite the performer.
PP-Performance Ferrari F12Berlinetta
And perform it does. The factory acceleration times are broken pretty easily with the new PP-Performance upgrades. After the transformation, the Ferrari F12Berlinetta is capable of reaching 62 mph from rest in just 2.9 seconds and hitting 124 mph in a mere 8.0 seconds, flat! That shaves 0.2 and 0.5 ticks of the clock off the factory figures, respectively.
PP-Performance offers the full Ferrari F12Berlinetta tuning portfolio featured here for 14,999 Euros including VAT.

PP-Performance Ferrari F12Berlinetta Specifications

Audi S4 with Carbon Graphite Vorsteiner Wheels

Vorsteiner Audi S4
Back at SEMA 2014, American aftermarket tuner Vorsteiner unveiled four brand new wheel designs for their Flow Forged series. Now a set of the brand new V-FF 102 Flow Forged wheels have been fitted to an Audi S4 and they certainly look the goods.
Check out the new gallery!
The most notable feature of this particular set of wheels is the fact that they’re finished in Carbon Graphite which is quite a unique shade for aftermarket wheels. Elsewhere, they measure 20×9.5 at all four corners and have consequently been joined with 255/30 tyres at all four corners. Completing the visual modifications is a lowered suspension system.
