Ronn Motor Company Scorpion HX

Ronn Motor Company has came out another supercar. The result is the 450-hp Scorpion and its hotter, 600-hp sibling, the Scorpion HX.

The car was built off a lightweight chrome-moly chassis shrouded in a carbon fiber body, the Scorpion has a seductive shape backing up its sting, along with 20-inch MOZ wheels and 12-inch Wilwood disc brakes. A 3.5 L DOHC VTEC V6 engine is going to powered the car and the powertrain of the car is a close-ratio six-speed manual sending power to the rear wheels through an LSD. The standard Scorpion puts out 450 hp, while the HX uses a duo of turbos and a proprietary intercooler setup to bring output up to 600 hp. Preliminary 0-60 times aren't available yet (we'd guess somewhere in the 3.5-second range), but top speed should be in excess of 200 mph.

While coaxing 600 hp out of twin-turbo'd 3.5-liter V6 isn't a huge feat, the H2GO Hydrogen On-Demand system is the Scorpion's showpiece. The system produces hydrogen through the electrolysis of water while the vehicle is in motion, creating 130-octane hydrogen in gaseous form.

Hyundai 460hp supercharger tuned Genesis Sedans

Hyundai has came out a screw-type supercharger mated to the 4.6-liter Tau V8. The RKSport sedan is putting out an estimated 460 horsepower, but with a new cylinder deactivation system, fuel mileage is equivalent to that of the V6-equipped Genesis. Hyundai made it clear that it hasn't made an official decision to offer the supercharger, but expect the cylinder deactivation system to be available in the future.



For the exterior, the RKSport model receives a custom body kit, composite hood, rear roof spoiler and trunk spoiler, along with Enkei LS-5 wheels, Baer brakes, a K&N air intake, Magnaflow exhaust and lowering springs.

Ferrari 599 GTB supercharger kit from Novitec Rosso

Recently, Novitec Rosso has released details about a new modified Ferrari 599 GTB that builds upon its previous version by adding a new forced-induction system. The new package consists of a subtle styling kit for increased downforace, as well as some mild handling upgrades, and a twin-turbocharging kit.

The engine is capable to produce a impressive output of 808hp (594kW) and 607lb-ft (823Nm) of torque and these are the result of the new twin compressor conversion. The top speed of the car is 340 km/h. This is 188hp (138kW) and 159lb-ft (215Nm) of torque more than the stock 599. In combination with the F1-Superfast transmission, the tuned 599 will sprint from rest to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds, pass 200km/h after 9.7 seconds and reach 300km/h after 25.5 seconds.

A belt-driven twin-supercharging system is bolted to the engine, producing a relatively mild peak boost pressure of 5.65psi. The compressed air is then cooled down to a level conducive for added power by a large intercooler cooled by a dedicated water cycle. A specially designed intake manifold with high-performance injectors and a sports air filter round out the conversion on the intake side. Other powertrain mods include custom exhaust manifolds, a 90mm diameter stainless-steel quad exhaust system, and a retuned ECU.

For the exterior, Novitec Rosso produces a new front lip, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, a new rear wing and bumper with an integrated diffuser for the Ferrari 599 GTB. The car is fitted with 20 inch wheels for the front and 21 inch for the rear with 355mm Pirelli P Zeros. Other changes to the 599 include a KW Automotive adjustable aluminum suspension kit, as well as new 405mm brake discs with Brembo six piston calipers.

Hamann BMW X6

Hamann-Motorsports has came out something special for the BMW X6. Hamann boosts the X6's 3.5i gasoline/petrol version from 306 to 360 hp and the 3.5d (diesel) from 286 hp to 320 hp. Cranking power is also considerably elevated by 140 Nm to 540 Nm in the 3.5i and taken to a massive 660 Nm in the 3.5d from a previous 580 Nm.

For the exterior, the car is fitted with a set of 23-inch rims, in need of 315/25R23 tires. Oh, and the price tag for just the four wheels is 9,385 euros. Yes, this is an audacious tuner that also messes with the BMW sound with a four-pipe exhaust system that gives the X6 a more grounded sound. The tuning kit also comes with a collection of spoilers and skirts and the interior gets a once-over with special carbon-fiber materials too.
