To begin with, we have to mention the exterior styling tweaks brought by the German tuner. The front end is now dominated by a tweaked bumper with large ait intakes, a revised front grille and a vented hood.

New side skirts, carbon side mirror caps, rear skirt and rear wing are also available. This big car sits on 20 to 22 inches alloy wheels that definitely make it even more aggressive looking.

If you enter the cockpit, you’ll find new floor mats, revised aluminum pedals and high quality materials. As you probably know, AC Schnitzer does pretty nice performance kits, this BMW X6 also receiving some tweaks under the hood.

To be more precise, there are a lot of upgrades for several versions in the lineup. The BMW X6 30d has now 309 hp while the more potent 40d variant gets to 360 horses. The petrol lineup include the BMW X6 35i and 50i which produce 360 hp and 525 hp. Last but not least, there’s a BMW X6 M that has no less than 650 horsepower, a respectable upgrade from the stock 575 horses.

Lamborghini Huracan by VF Engineering https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/lamborghini-huracan-vf-engineering/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/lamborghini-huracan-vf-engineering/#respond Thu, 26 Nov 2015 19:23:34 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=6040 There’s never enough power when you talk about supercars. VF Engineering thinks the same, that’s why they’ve developed a power kit for the Lamborghini Huracan.

However, this is not your regular tuning kit as the company managed to add no less than 203 horsepower to the equation. In conclusion, the 5.2-liter V10 engine that normally provides a pretty decent 602 hp and 560 Nm of torque, is now capable to deliver 805 horses and 826 Nm of torque.

In order to get all this power from the V10 engine, VF Engineering opted for an Eaton TVS2300 supercharger.

Of course, there were several other modifications needed for such performance, namely a new cooling system, K&N induction filters, a new aluminum intake manifold, a Bosch water pump and of course, a revised ECU.

We don’t know how much faster the Lamborghini Huracan is now but the stock figures should be improved nonetheless. In terms of styling, VF Engineering released no particular details. That’s nothing to get upset about as their performance kit is worth all the work they’ve put in. Pricing and availability details are also not available at the moment.

Audi RS3 by DTE Systems https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/audi-rs3-dte-systems/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/audi-rs3-dte-systems/#respond Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:21:19 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5826 The Audi RS3 is already a quite powerful model but that didn’t stop DTE Systems to develop a performance kit.

The tuning specialists decided to make the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine even more potent thanks to a revised ECU. If the stock version offers 367 horses and 465 Nm of torque, DTE’s model is capable to deliver 410 horses and 557 Nm of torque, enough to cut the 100 – 160 km/h acceleration time by more than a second. Sadly, we have no official figures regarding the 0-100 km/h sprint time.

In order to squeeze all this exra power from the rather tiny 2.5-liter engine, DTE Systems opted for new intake manifold, revised central sensors for the management system and turbo pressure.

The PowerControl SNT module is responsible for most of these improvements. The Audi RS3 Sportback is definately more attractive now with the extra power provided by DTE Systems.

While the stock appearance is not bad at all, we are curious to see a styling kit as well. A slightly more aggressive look will certainly turn some heads on the street before the additional power will do. Pricing and availability details were not disclosed yet by DTE Systems.

BMW M550d by VOS https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/bmw-m550d-vos/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/bmw-m550d-vos/#respond Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:39:06 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5910 VOS, short for Vision of Speed, released official details and photos on the new tuning kit for the BMW M550d.

As you can see, they’ve decided to work on a diesel model rather than a gasoline one. Even so, this is not a reason to underestimate this kit. Power is provided by a revised 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine producing 450 horses and 800 Nm of torque.

This is a big improvement over the stock 381 hp and 740 Nm of torque. This package costs €2,290 and for extra €899 you can get the new downpipe system that also adds 15 horses to the equation.

The standard 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4,7 seconds should be improved but there are no specific details in this regard. However, the top speed is no longer limited at 250 km/h but can reach and even exceed 300 km/h. We expect to get the new acceleration figures soon.

In terms of styling, VOS offers new 20-inch alloy wheels from AEZ. They are fitted with 245/35 R20 (front) and 275/30 R20 (rear) Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The German car also sits closer to the ground thanks to new H&R lowering springs while high-performance Brembo brakes are also available.

Rolls-Royce Wraith by Wald International https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/rolls-royce-wraith-wald-international/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/11/rolls-royce-wraith-wald-international/#respond Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:40:59 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5753 Wald International revealed a special tuning kit for the Rolls-Royce Wraith, a package that brings several styling tweaks for the British luxury car.

Seen in world premiere at SEMA, the new model comes with a new set of huge 22-inch alloy wheels, revised front and rear bumpers, a new trunk spoiler, carbon fiber inserts and new side skirts. The rear stands out thanks to the new exhaust tips as well as the rear skirt.

The sleek look of the luxury car is enhanced thanks to the revised suspension which lowers the ground clearance. Thanks to this improvements, the Rolls-Royce Wraith looks more aggressive and powerful.

Speaking of power, there are no upgrades to be found under the hood. However, the stock 6.6-liter W12 engine with 624 horses and 799 Nm of torque will prove to be enough in most of the situations you will encounter.

With a 0-100 km/h sprint being possible in just 4,4 seconds, the Rolls-Royce Wraith manages to be both elegant and fast. With this been said, be sure to check the official gallery provided by Wald International for a closer look.

BMW X5 M by Dähler https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/bmw-x5-m-dahler/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/bmw-x5-m-dahler/#respond Fri, 16 Oct 2015 16:54:26 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5583 Dähler released a power tuning kit for the BMW X5 M as well for the bigger X6 M version.

The stock 4.4-liter V8 engine got a bump to 664 horses and 820 Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h sprint of 3,9 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h. This is a quite big improvement over the series 575 hp and 750 Nm of torque.

However, you can get even further with the second stage that maxes out at 680 hp and 860 Nm of torque. With such power, the BMW X5 M does the 0-100 km/h in only 3,8 seconds, a very impressive time for such a big and heavy car.

The top speed remains untouched at 305 km/h. Even though Dähler focused on performance tweaks, there are some minor styling improvements too. We talk about a stainless steel exhaust system and 22- or 23-inch alloy wheels. The interior has been upgraded as well but there are no photos to prove this at the moment.

Pricing and availability details were not revealed yet but you can expect some pretty substantial prices considering the amount of work put into this kit and the final result.

Volkswagen Polo by ABT Sportsline https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/volkswagen-polo-abt-sportsline/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/volkswagen-polo-abt-sportsline/#respond Fri, 16 Oct 2015 15:42:38 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5585 ABT Sportsline released a special tuning kit for the Volkswagen Polo.

This package brings both styling and performance tweaks and comes to celebrate 40 years of the model in the market. The exterior gets refreshed thanks to the new rear skirt, 18-inch alloy wheels with 215/35 R18 tires, a revised dual-pipe exhaust and a new roof-mounted spoiler.

These upgrades are offered on top of the standard features available on the VW Polo GTI, the model that ABT chose as a starting one. Under the hood sits a 1.8-liter TSI engine producing 230 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque, a decent boost from the stock 192 hp and 320 Nm.

You should expect the 0-100 km/h acceleration to be possible in under 6,7 seconds, the time that the standard model needs. We also guess that the stock 236 km/h top speed got improved but for now, ABT was scarce with these details.

Other upgrades of the Volkswagen Polo by ABT include new floor mats and a retuned suspension that bring the car closer to the ground. The front end sits now 25mm closer to the ground while the rear is even lower at 30mm. Pricing and availability details should be released soon.

BMW M6 Convertible by G-Power https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/bmw-m6-convertible-g-power/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/bmw-m6-convertible-g-power/#respond Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:15:08 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5543 G-Power officially unveiled a tuning kit for the open-top version of the BMW M6, a model that gets both styling and performance tweaks that are capable to impress even the most picky client.

The stock 4.4-liter V8 turbocharged engine gets the Bi-Tronik 2 kit which improves the total output to 740 horsepower and 975 Nm of torque.

With such an upgrade compared to the stock 560 hp and 680 Nm of torque, the 0-100 km/h sprint should be significantly quicker, exact figures being kept secret at the moment. However, we do know that G-Power’s BMW M6 Convertible does the 0-200 km/h acceleration in just 10,7 seconds.

Needless to say that the top speed has been increased to 300 km/h, a quite impressive figure for a convertible car. G-Power couldn’t let anything in the air, so they’ve prepared some styling tweaks too.

The German model sits now on 21-inch HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels with 255/30 ZR21 (front) and 295/25 ZR21 (rear) Michelin tires while a revised front gille and other minor tweaks are also available. Last but not least, G-Power’s BMW M6 Convertible sports a titanium exhaust system for even more power.

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe by Mansory https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/mercedes-s63-amg-coupe-mansory/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/mercedes-s63-amg-coupe-mansory/#respond Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:48:19 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5545 The new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe is already a beast but Mansory decided to take it to a whole new level.

To begin with, we tell you that the already impressive 5.5-liter V8 under the hood got a major boost from 585 hp to 720 hp. However, than’s not all as there are multiple power stages. If 720 horsepower are not enough for you, there are the 800, 900 and 1000 hp versions.

To match this immense power, Mansory opted for a complete body kit with new carbon fiber bumpers, a revised hood with vents, new side skirts and a big rear wing.

The rear diffuser now incorporates a quad-pipe exhaust system while big 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels with Vredestein ULTRAC SESSANTA wheels measuring 255/30/ZR22 (front) and 295/25/ZR22 (rear) tires complete the look.

Inside, customers will be greeted by a plethora of changes including aluminum pedals, leather upholstery, sprots seats made of carbon fiber, special floor mats and illuminated door sills. Pricing and availability details are currently not available. Until we get full details on the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe by Mansory, be sure to check the official images with the package.
