KBR Motorsport BMW M3 E92 “Track Tool”

KBR Motorsport BMW M3 0 600x395 at KBR Motorsport BMW M3 E92 “Track Tool”
If you still haven’t traded in your E92-generation BMW M3 for a brand-new M4, you may want to check this out. This bad boy is KBR Motorsport BMW M3 and it is equipped with everything you need to eek out the last drops of fun still stuck in the car before getting rid of it.
The tuner has not gone crazy with power, which is refreshing, focusing instead of making the E92 M3 a more track-ready car. It is not just power that you need on the race track, but handling precision, good brakes, and above all, a roll cage. And KBR Motorsport BMW M3 has got them all, which is why they call it a “daily track tool.”
There are lightweight BBS ally wheels measuring 9,5×19 wrapped with Pirelli Trofeo 265/30R19 tires, and they house large brake discs inside them from Endless. Above the wheels you will find KW Clubsport suspension components, keeping the Bimmer in check during high speed cornering.
As for the performance, thanks to new software and a custom exhaust system with x-pipe and stuff, the output of the naturally aspirated V8 engine has gone up from 420 stock to 450 horsepower. KBR Motorsport BMW M3 also gets Recaro bucket seats with four-point harness.

Zender Spices Up Alfa Romeo 4C


Alfa Romeo’s compact lightweight 4C model is kind of cute; in fact, it’s too cute for Zender’s standards.
I think we can all agree that the Alfa 4C is an astonishing looking car but it can look a little harmless. Don’t get me wrong, its 895 kilograms (1,973 lb) dry weight makes it a ballistic little powerhouse, even though it’s motivated by a 237 hp, 1750 cc turbocharged powerplant. In fact, the 4C is a raw and primordial animal, punching well above its weight, leaving serious bruises in the process.
That didn’t stop Zender to infuse it with a little more oomph (not too much, just enough to make it even more crude) and bedizen it with an angry attitude.
The modifications now boast a power to weight ratio growth from about 3.73 kg/hp to 3.20 kg/hp, all thanks to a 34 hp power increase and a 15 kg (33 lb) weight reduction. Enough to make the car sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds and stop accelerating at 265 km/h (165 mph).
And it now it looks like its packing something more substantial, mainly due to the carbon-fiber, aggressive body-kit that channels air to the important bits and pieces of the drivetrain. The car was already pretty low and wide, but now, thanks to the visual mods, its stance along with the center-lock wheels makes it seem like a proper racer.
The interior hasn’t escaped untouched either, as Zender garnished it with black leather, Alcantara and red stitching. Nevertheless, it isn’t as radical as the exterior of the little beast. Have you seen the rear carbon fiber apron with the incorporated diffuser?
