BRABUS B63 S Tuning for Mercedes E 63 AMG

BRABUS will exhibit the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG-based BRABUS B63 S at the 2009 Essen Motor Show. The famous tuner kept the 6.3-litre (6208cc) V8 natural, meaning no superchargers or turbos are installed. Using its so-called BRABUS B63 S kit power and torque were improved from the standard 386kW (525hp) and 630Nm to 408kW (555hp) and 650Nm respectively. The magic was achieved through two sport air filters, free-flow metal catalysts and newly programmed engine electronics.

As a result the 0 - 100km/h sprint is reduced to 4.3 seconds and top speed goes up to 320km/h. A limited slip differential (LSD) with a locking rate of 40 percent ensures optimal grip at all times.



The aerodynamic package was developed in a wind tunnel and includes a carbon fibre front spoiler lip, a rear diffuser and a rear spoiler. The front fenders have lateral air outlets which don't just glamourise the car's looks but serve to improve venting. Custom-tailored wheel and tyre combinations include 18, 19 and 20-inch sizes shod with Pirelli or Yokohama high-performance tyres sized 245/30 ZR 20 up front and up to 295/25 ZR 20 at the rear.

Interior equipment choices include durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara, carbon fibre inlays, wood and many electronic gadgets to suit different desires.

EAS BMW 7 Series M Sport Receives Matt Black Trim

Californian tuner European Auto Source has unveiled its own spruced up version of the Frankfurt-debuted M Sport package for the 7-Series. EAS build upon what is already a solid sports kit: Aerodynamics Package, chrome trim on both front and rear aprons and a 19-inch double-spoke alloy design with front and rear wheels wearing differing, optimised tyre sizes. EAS haven't just taken that further, they've also swapped chrome highlights for a fiercer, matt black trim.

Aside from ditching the chrome in favour of matt black side and kidney grilles, matt black OEM rear diffuser, Style 312 OEM 21-inch matt black alloys and a new, converted front bumper replacing chrome with, yes, matt black, EAS also add body-coloured door handles and trunk trim.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 by ENCO Exclusive

ENCO Exclusive has unveiled a new styling and performance package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4.

The German-based tuner offers a variety of carbon fiber exterior components such as a front bumper (€2990), a boot cover (€3990), a front splitter (€990), and aggressive side skirts (€3990). Other goodies include a carbon fiber laminate for the rear diffuser, mirrors and boot lid vents (€4000) as well as a matt black foil wrap (€3000).



Inside, ENCO offers faux carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel, central console, dashboard, handbrake, and door handles (€5000).

If you find all this a tad vulgar, you might want to check out ENCO's performance package for the 5.2-liter V10. While details are limited, it enables the engine to produce 620 hp and 575 Nm of torque (instead of 560 hp and 540 of torque).

Ford GT Geiger HP 790

GeigerCars has unveiled their new performance package for the Ford GT. Dubbed the Geiger HP 790, the package features a larger 4.0-liter compressor (up from the stock 2.3-liter unit), new throttle valves, a sports air filter, improved cooling systems, and revised engine electronics. Thanks to these changes, the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 produces 790 horsepower and 863 Nm of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in 9.6 seconds, and 0-300 km/h (0-186 mph) in 22.8 seconds. If you keep your foot planted, you'll eventually hit the car's top speed of 360 km/h (224 mph).



Other performance tweaks include a specially-developed coilover suspension (which reduces the ride height by 60mm), a sports exhaust system with two 110mm tail pipes, and massive matt black wheels (9x20 front, 11x21 rear) outfitted with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires.

As you may recall, Geiger's original tuning package for the Ford GT (with a 3.3-liter compressor) produced 701 bhp (523kW) and 837 Nm of torque. It ran from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds (0.1 seconds faster than the HP 790) and hit a top speed 340 km/h (211 mph).

Wimmer RS Porsche GT2 Speed Biturbo with 827 PS

Based on the standard 997 GT2, the Speed features two Wimmer turbochargers and revisions to the engine block, pistons, connecting rods, injector nozzles, sports camshafts, inlet system, and throttle valve. Wimmer also installs an intercooler, replaces the engine software, and adds a specially tuned performance exhaust system.

Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces a staggering 827 horsepower and 948 Nm of torque. The GT2 Speed accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0-300 km/h (0-186.4 mph) in 20.2 seconds, and hit a top speed of 378 km/h (234.9 mph). This is quite comparable to Sportec's own hyper 911 known as the SPR1 M with 858hp.



Other goodies include a carbon fiber rear lip spoiler, carbon fiber rear-view mirrors, H&R sport springs, and Sportec wheels outfitted with Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires. Speaking of Sportec, the Wimmer GT2 Speed is
