Mercedes-AMG GT By Lorinser Gets Nearly 600 PS

Merc's current top sports car is surely not wanting for power, but Lorinser has squeezed a considerable amount of extra oomph from its twin-turbo V8.
Available for the AMG GT and AMG GT S, the performance module pumps out an additional 85 PS (84 HP) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque on top of the stock range-topper, raising the output to 595 PS (587 HP) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque in both versions.
The extra punch has dropped the zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time by 0.1 seconds to 3.6 sec; naught to 200 km/h (124 mph) takes 10.2 seconds and hitting the 300 km/h (186 mph) mark just 27.3 seconds.
Lorinser charges a fairly reasonable €3,650 ($4,145) for the upgrade. Making sure that the Mercedes-AMG GT rides in style is a new set of 20-/21-inch front/rear RSK 8 light-alloy, three-pieced forged wheels, with a seven-spoke design, available in black or gold, but if you happen to dig driving your AMG GT in winter, there is a special set of mud&snow tires available as well, 265/30 front and 305/25 rear.

RENNtech Mercedes S63 AMG Arabian Edition

Realizing that after seeing their awesome S63 AMG Coupe wealthy Arab customers are going to want a four-door version of that car as well, RENNtech released a rather special version of the Mercedes S63 AMG sedan with some serious upgrades. It’s an Arabian Limited Edition and one of 89.

As is often the case with cars from this tuner, the looks of RENNtech Mercedes S63 AMG are largely intact over the standard car save for a set of really special, really high-end wheels. The Deep Monolite 10 rims with a VIP Limited Edition finish (1 of 25) match the classy and expensive looks of the S-Class and improves it by making the whole thing more exclusive. Size-wise, they are 21×9.0 inch on the front and 22×10.5 inch on the rear, boasting a brushed face with polished windows.

The main highlight of RENNtech Mercedes S63 AMG Arabian limited edition is the performance package the car features. They started with 585 horsepower from a 5.5 liter biturbo V8 to which RENNtech has added ECU upgrade and stainless steel downpipes with 200 cell cats. These mods have a profound effect on the output, boosting it to 669 horsepower with 734 lb-ft of torque, making this S63 one of the most powerful family sedan on the planet. The tuner also supplies a carbon fiber boot lid spoiler as an understated sign of this car’s specialness.

ABT Audi RS6 R Edizione Italiana

ABT Sportline is a very popular brand in the Italian tuning scene with its own dedicated dealer and service center. They are now celebrating this mutual passion in the company’s 120th anniversary with a one-off model called ABT Audi RS6 R Edizione Italiana which is, to all intents and purposes, the sickest RS6 in the world.

If you are looking for anything special in this car besides a couple of tricolore emblems and plaques, you are going to be disappointed. That is not to say ABT Audi RS6 R Edizione Italiana doesn’t get any unique features, but that it’s not as Italian as one might hope. The main purpose of this one-off is to show off what ABT’s Individual department can do in fulfilling the customers’ wishes.

ABT Audi RS6 R Edizione Italiana boasts a very black exterior – though not black enough – featuring the tuner’s carbon fiber aero kit which looks somewhat obscured because of the paint job. It also comes with a set of two-tone 22 inch ABT rims, carbon fiber interior trim, and leather and Alcantara upholstery with Italian flag embroidery. Of course all these details are customizable by the buyer. Being a RS6 R, this Audi packs 730 horsepower and a custom exhaust system.

Spotlight: Lumma Mercedes GLE Coupe CLR G800

Even though it was over a year ago when Lumma Mercedes GLE Coupe was first announced, we never saw this thing in the flesh. And we didn’t really remember it either, mainly because TopCar kept us busy with their GLE Infernos. Now though they can show us a Lumma CLR G800 in full glory, and it looks good.

As we mentioned when showing you the first renderings of this car, although Lumma Mercedes GLE Coupe is called CLR 800, the most potent package you can order for it is a power kit foe the GLE 63 AMG engine with 650 horsepower (standard 585 hp) which is cool, but they probably should have called it CLR 650.

As for the other mechanical upgrades you get with the CLR 800, the package includes a set of CLR 24 RS wheels in matte black with 285/30 R24 tires, painted brake calipers, and sport silencer with four black 100mm exhaust end pipes. The tuner also suuplies various accessories like chrome signature, key rings, covers and…

But the main reason anybody would be interested in Lumma Mercedes GLE Coupe CLR G800 is the wide body kit, consisting of custom bumpers with large intakes and spoiler lip up front, custom front wings with side vents, new skirts and sills, rear tailgate spoiler and diffuser insert. Interior mods include decorative stitching and fancy mats.

Alpha-N BMW M2 Gets EVOX Power Kit

Alpha-N Performance was one of the first tuners to announce an upgrade kit for the BMW M2 when the car was revealed. The performance aspect of the promised package is now ready, and although they have fallen short of their 480 hp target Alpha-N BMW M2 is quite possibly the hottest modded M2 in Europe right now.

The core of Alpha-N BMW M2 performance kit is an EVOX power module which is like a box of tricks. Plug it in and the 3.0 liter, 370 hp and 500 Nm straight-six turbo engine of the M2 jumps to a new level of output. As mentioned, Alpha-N has not managed to hit the 480 hp target they had promised yet, but this box offers to stages of upgrade with enough juice to make the M2 a lot peppier than before.

Stage One of Alpha-N BMW M2 EVOX power upgrade will see to it that the output is upped to 395 horsepower and 610 Nm of torque, while Stage Two delivers a more satisfying 410 horsepower with 630 Nm of torque. Priced from just 799 Euros, this chip tuning is one of the cleanest and most affordable ways of extracting more power out of your M2. You are going to have to wait a bit longer for the bumpers and wings shown in these pictures.

O.CT Tuning Golf R VII Upgrade Kit

With a standard output of 300 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, Golf R VII is a pretty dope hot hatch. But as you know you can never have enough power, which is why we have brought you this, the O.CT Tuning Golf R with up to 450 horsepower.

So that’s as much power an an AMG Merc V8 in a car the size of a shopping trolley. It is the result of a Stage 4 upgrade kit fitted to O.CT Tuning Golf R, consisting of new air box and manifold and pipes, stainless steel exhaust system, modified turbo, downpipe with racing cat, intercooler, oil cooler, and modified ECU. The result is 450 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque.

In accordance with the increased power the tuner also upgrades the Golf’s transmission software and reinforces its DSG clutch. These mods enhance the torque limit, the response and shift time, optimizes launch control and increases the redline. Despite all of this O.CT maintains their Golf R remains a perfectly usable every day car.

Of course, not everybody is that power crazed as to need 450 hp in their hatchback daily drier. For these guys O.CT Tuning Golf R comes with three milder stages of tuning, offering 395 hp and 505 Nm in stage 3, 378 hp and 480 Nm in stage 2, and 370 hp and 460 Nm in stage 1. All these upgrades also apply to Seat Leon Cupra as well as other models powered by the same VW 2.0 liter engine.

TAG Motorsports Mercedes SLS Roadster

Mercedes does not seem very keen on the idea of a roadster AMG GT, so if you want a drop-top super GT with a three-pointed star on its nose, your best bet still is the mighty Mercedes SLS Roadster. But if the standard car doesn’t grab you like you would like, we have a tricked out version here that might.

What we have here is the TAG Motorsports Mercedes SLS Roadster which, to all intents and purposes, is the ultimate expression of what the SLS can be. The car features subtle visual and chassis modifications as well as a meaty performance package that makes it more lively, and therefore more fun, than the regular version.

In terms of power and performance, TAG Motorsports Mercedes SLS Roadster benefits from a RENNtech R2 performance kit including ECU upgrade, stainless steel long tube headers with 200 cell cats, and X-Pipe. It ups the output of the 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V8 from 563 horsepower to 620 horsepower with 522 lb-ft of torque.

In an effort to keep the beast in check after giving it 80 more horses to devour, the tuner has fitted the SLS with H&R lowering springs and a set of wide ADV5.0 MV2CS measuring 20 inch up front and 21 inch out back. The wheels (wrapped with 265 tires on the front and 305 on the rear) are finished in matte brown which complements nicely the black-out cosmetic package of the body.
