Tuning the beasts!

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Motorists who were not satisfied with the speed or looks of their Porsche 911 Turbo, Bentley Continental GT or Ferrari F430, have more reasons to smile now.

Porsche 911 Turbo

TechArt, a tuning firm based in Stuttgart, has suggested a better look for the Porsche 911 Turbo. The modifications presented by them include a 3.6-liter boxer motor that has an output capacity of 427kW/580 HP and an increase of the speed from 310kmph to 339kmph. The price of the modified Porsche can be anything above $239,000.

Another car tuning company Motortuning RS Tuning has started its work on a more powerful Porsche. They have named their Porsche project as “Mission 400 Plus Concept”. Oops! They are targeting a 775 kW/1054 HP and a speed more than 400kmph!

Brabus Rocket

The car sports world is going to witness a real race with the new modifications challenging the existing leader in the race, the Brabus Rocket. Brabus Rocket was tuned on Mercedes CLS and maintains an awesome speed of 366kmph and an output boost of 537 kW/730HP.

Bentley Continental GT

Tuner Le Mansory has innovative plans for Bentley Continental GT. The new Bentley offers a lesser speed, 330kmph, than its competitors. The engine power is boosted up to 478 kW/650 HP. There is no much difference in the exteriors except that Le Mansory has painted it in racy black and orange livery.

Ferrari F430

Tuners Novitec Rosso, Bavaria, has better tuning offer for the Ferrari F430 with modified exterior and performance boost up to 468kW/636HP from the earlier 360kW/490HP.

Body Kits - polyurethane or fiberglass?

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Nissan body kits

Most people check out the bodies of OTHER people. But there are a few exceptions who find something else more interesting - we are talking about car bodies. What are body kits? Well, they refer to all that can be included in the exterior of the car. In a way, it is the skeleton of the car.

Agreed that cars come with their own body kits. But sometimes car owners want to go in for a new body kit. The reasons for doing so are various-a new design, something unique, a bad accident…the list goes on. If you too happen to want to do the same for your car, the options available are endless. Let’s explore the crux of it then, shall we?

Another very important function performed by the body kit is that it increases the aerodynamic ability of your car, depending on the design you have chosen. There are mainly two materials in which body kit are available. The first one is polyurethane. This is the preferred choice in colder regions as it is relatively more resistant to the cold. It is also quite damage resistant. But there is a flipside too. Once it is damaged, repair is not a possibility.

The other material is fiberglass. Though not as tough as the former, it can be repaired time and again and this makes it a popular choice. It is also quite lightweight.

Now all you have to do is pick what suits your needs the most and drive down the lane with your car being followed by cat calls and whistles.
