Wald International is perhaps one of the most predictable and conservative tuning companies out there. Something remarkable since they come from Japan, a country notorious for overdone tuner cars, a trend still known as “ricing”. The new vehicle Wald International turned their attention to is the Infiniti G37, particularly the 2006-2010 version of the sedan.
Auto Avio Costruzioni is an Italian tuner with a lot more heritage in the name than meets the eye as well as a typical flamboyant presence. The tuner’s history isn’t very relevant right now, what we’re more bothered about is how they’ve just unveiled a new version of the Alfa Romeo 159 saloon. The 159
Schmidt Revolution decided to showcase some of their tuning prowess by having a stab at the Volkswagen Golf GTI. They’ve decided to focus on the fifth generation of the model. There’s no openly published reason for this decision so we’ll just assume the German tuner picked the Mark V GTI because it was the model
Sure, the Jeep Grand Cherokee isn’t the sort of car that’s meant to go fast but that didn’t stop SRT from making one with a 6.4 liter HEMI V8. Likewise, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 certainly is fast, but that’s not going to stop Hennessey from making it so fast it becomes almost absurd right?
Porsche’s Cayenne SUV may look a little a soccer mom’s car to some people so the tuners at TopCar decided to sharpen up the aggressive traits it has. The decision lead to the creation of the new Cayenne Vantage 2 Carbon Edition package wide body kit. The Russian tuner didn’t specify just how wide the
When it comes to the Italians at Alfa Romeo it seems like everything is new and different. That’s why it’s nice to see something old get a new lease on life. The Alfa Romeo Brera just got itself a “care package” from the tuners at Romeo Ferraris. It’s the sort that really sustains life. The
The Swedish company that announced some serious numbers in new job creation recently also has some fun stuff from Polestar to tell us what’s going on. Volvo is retaining the emphasis on the safety features of their cars but for some time now they’ve been having quite a powerful incline towards… power. The latest announcement
Despite the recently unveiled Nissan Juke-R being considerably more interesting than the current option the Japanese will be unveiling in Tokyo, it’s not to be ignored. Whereas the recently presented Nissan Juke Nismo lacks the performance of some GT-R underpinnings, performance and crazyness it can stand its ground. In a much more fitting Nismo fashion,
Not discouraged by the unveiling of the AMG tuned 2012 Mercedes M Class ahead of the Los Angeles Motor Show, Brabus has their own version. The German tuned version of the 2012 M Class was unveiled at the Euro-tuning sensation, the 2011 Essen Motor Show and it is a very restrained presence. Brabus even did
The E64 BMW 6 Series was a tuning favorite and it sparked up countless versions, some with incredible power outputs but the recently unveiled 2012 F12 version has been missing out. Apart from getting an M sport pack, all wheel drive as an option and a breathing over from Alpina, it’s still in the market
Yes, the Germans think the Ferrari 458 Italia is great, albeit a little under-powered. Or at least the guys at Anderson Germany certainly do. The tuners got their hands on a prime example of the Maranello star and had their way with it and then painted it two-tone. A black and white combo is unlikely
Chevrolet is ramping up for quite the presence at the upcoming SEMA show in Las Vegas and while there’s plenty of Corvettes to notice, the Camaro is no longer hidden in the dark corner. That has especially not been the case ever since the bowtie brand has introduced us the ZL1 version, the hottest and
Along side the usual smattering of Corvettes, Camaros and Silverados with an enormous amount power from Chevrolet, SEMA is going to get a special presence. It’s special in a rather unusual sense for the Las Vegas show which generally refers to over the top creations. This time, the considerably more humble Chevrolet Sonic takes center
German cars tend to have restrained exteriors and, depending on how high up the food chain you go, unrestrained performance. Even Mercedes, the least restrained of the lot styles their SL model with fear of turning too many heads as the car moves by. This doesn’t really go well with the Japanese tuners, particularly those
As the first major motor show of the year, the Tokyo held event always has some sort of pleasing trick up its sleeve and I reckon we’ve identified what it will be this year. It isn’t the Toyota FT-86 or one of its many versions, it isn’t a new Honda NSX but a special version
When talking about luxury barges the size of the BMW 7 Series, you find that the question of tuning them gets a lot more mixed responses than any other modification proposals. Still, some people break through and showcase something quite like this, the BMW 750 Li with Tuningwerk, erm, tuning work done to it. Basically
Project Kahn is a British tuner that’s very proud of the cars made in their country and while they like tuning them, they aren’t keen on changing too much. The latest in a long line of custom Land Rover tune-ups is called the Bali Blue RS450 Range Rover Vogue and there’s no prizes awarded for
For a company that has power in its very name I doubt anybody is going to be surprised about exactly what they offer when tuning cars, particularly high performane ones such as the BMW M3. With this new kit they call the Tornado RS, G-Power bolts a serious supercharger onto the infamous 4.0 liter V8
With the brand new 2012 Ford Focus coming in stronger and stronger with the ST version on the way and with who knows how many other versions just around the corner, some may feel their former top of the line model is left behind. Fear not you “poor” Ford Focus RS owners, the British working
Throughout the Porsche 911 lineup there’s plenty of levels to consider and it’s only at the high end that you find stuff with the GT and RS branding together. Leaving behind your regard for this hierarchy, we all know that the GT2 RS is the ultimate 911 Porsche makes. That said, it’s not the best
