Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by ByDesign Motorsport

The Saudi Arabian tuning company ByDesign Motorsport had made this beautiful SLS AMG


Mercedes Benz SLS AMG White

The tuner does not give much information about the specs of the car. This SLS though has a new exhaust system with Akrapovic exhaust pipes finished with carbon fiber tips.

As the tuner states this Mercedes SLS AMG tune stage is 3 (what ever that means), but they only tell as that it has race headers and a BMC Air Filter.  Besides that the car has some nice carbon fiber details like the lip on the front spoiler and on the front air intake along the Mercedes badge

Overall the black and white color combination works very beautiful on the exterior of the SLS as well as on the interior. Inside the car is complete with black and white full leather interior.

2013 Novitec Tornado Lamborghini Aventador 969hp

The Novitec Torado Lamborghini Aventador features dual superchargers in typical Novitec style to boost power up to 969hp. The sledgehammer performance is matched with a high-performance exhaust system, electronic sound management, a coil-over suspension kit and exclusive interior options.

2013_novitec_torado_lamborghini_aventador_2-wide

The front will greet you with unique details such as the new two-piece Novitec Torado front spoiler, the central front blade and newly designed air intakes. The side sports similar cues with rocker panels, carbon-fiber mirror covers and the new side air intakes fitted to the rear windows.

Moving on to the rear side, you find a new rear wing, available in two sizes, to help increase downforce on the rear axle. Novitec Torado also fit a new diffuser which can be expanded into a double diffuser. For air flow, there are larger air intakes and outlets for the hood that work hand in hand with the new air vents in the rear. Last is the new trunk lid with integrated air ducts.

2013_novitec_torado_lamborghini_aventador_3-wide

The new aerodynamic components are available in the vehicle color or even in contrasting color finishes. You can order them in a clear-coated carbon-fiber version too. Each part has been tested in a wind tunnel and has been optimized to reduce negative lift on the front axle. This means that the car maintains its original stability but increases down force at high speeds.

Novitec_Tornado_Lamborghini_Aventador

The Novitec Torado Lamborghini Aventador sits on three-piece NL1 alloy wheels with five-twin-spoke design. They measure 9Jx20 inches on the front axle and 13Jx21 inches on the rear axle. These wheels are then shod to 255/30 ZR 20 Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires at the front and 355/25 ZR 21 in the rear. The entire setup rides perfectly on sports suspension with an option of sports springs that lower the height by 30mm.

The power options, as we’ve said above, include a twin supercharger kit that lifts the Aventador’s power output to 969hp. Additionally there are two different performance upgrades avaialble. One Stage 1 upgrade that adds 48hp to a total of 748hp. This is made possible through the newly calibrated engine electronics with a specially designed mapping for ignition and injection and a new exhaust system. The exhaust system is available in stainless steel or in the lighter INCONEL material, which is also used in the Formula 1. Customers can also have the exhaust system equipped with an active flap to manually control the noise level at the touch of a button.

Video: Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX MR 870Ps@11000rpm



8.000rpm is something not many road cars can do, especially not turbocharged ones.
9.000rpm is something even fewer cars can achieve. Notable mentions are high strung VTEC engines and the manically rotating Wankels.
10,000rpm you usually only see on YouTube videos.
What about a street car revving to 11.000rpm and with every gear shift comes the distinctive whistle of a blow off valve? We here at Speednation.tv have only witnessed that with Extreme Tuners Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The best part was, we got to ride shotgun while it was doing it!

625 Horsepower Expected from Adrenaline Rush C7


2014-twin-turbo-redline-motorsport-corvette-stingray

Leading late-model performance car builder and designer, Redline Motorsports, has officially released the build specifications for its all-new monstrous Adrenaline Rush package, designed specifically for the new 2014 Corvette Stingray.




What exactly constitutes the Adrenaline Rush package, you ask? The package offers the ideal balance of supercar performance and stunning good looks. A complete twin-turbocharged direct-injection LT1 program developed by the Redline Motorsports fabrication division allows the Adrenaline Rush package to deliver a whopping 625 brake horsepower in street trim. We can't tell you much just yet, but we can tell you to expect a pair of Precision Billet Wheel Turbos and all stainless steel piping.




It is important to note that the newest generation Corvette is equipped with the all-new E92 computer, making precise and proper calibration possible for the build.




C7 Corvettes outfitted with the package stick firmly to the pavement thanks to custom coilover Magnetic Ride shocks. An awesome wheel and tire package, featuring one-piece "American Made" forged aluminum wheels exclusive to Redline Motorsports customers, look vicious while performing in conjunction with the shocks.

2014-adrenaline-rush-c7-corvette-stingray




Every Adrenaline Rush C7 will clearly stand out in a crowd thanks to an exclusive carbon fiber aero package, which includes a functional front splitter, high-intensity driving lights and a front mount intercooler air scoop. Side skirts and an improved rear spoiler also add to the already aggressive appearance, along with the radically redesigned rear fascia.




Additional enhancements that make the Adrenaline Rush C7 ever more unique include embroidered interior accents, carbon fiber upgrades, and advanced E92 computer calibration.




Each Adrenaline Rush C7 is built to order and availability will be limited, so contact Redline Motorsports to secure one of your very own today! Additional packages, including a 1,000hp version, are available.

Supercharged BMW M3 E92 by Liberty Walk

It was just a few months ago that renderings began to circulate the web; images of an E92 M3 with bolt-on fender flares that challenged the likes of Rocket Bunny and Rauh Welt (RWB) were inciting intense anticipation across the automotive aftermarket. The kit was designed by the team at Liberty Walk Performance in Japan, the group responsible for the brushed-steel-finish widebody Lamborghini that swept SEMA and seemingly every automotive magazine at the beginning of the year. They're back once again, and this time, in our own neck of the woods, with the out-going E92 M3 as their chassis of choice. To bring the project to life, LB Performance partnered with Nitto Tire, Rotiform Wheels, LT MotorWorks, and others - and we're thrilled to present one of the first looks at such a car.


bmw-m3-liberty-walk-lb-performance-title


The build began at LTMW, a BMW-specific (and namely E9X chassis-based) shop located in El Monte, California. Owned and operated by Long Tran, an absolute E90/2 fanatic, LTMW was the perfect team for Wataru Kato, the owner of Liberty Walk, to enlist the help of. However, LTMW would be put to the test - their deadline was M-Fest in Las Vegas, and the amount of time between when they got the car and when it was expected to leave? A mere 30 hours.


lb-performance-bmw-m3-widebody

A stock M3 arrived at LTMW late wednesday afternoon, and the car had to be on the road by 6:00am Friday morning. To pull it off, all hands were on deck, and without hesitation,the car was disassembled, masked, and the car's arches were cut apart to make room for the massive bolt-on flares. Prep, fitting, and paintwork all had to be completed before the final hour - but this M3 features more than just agressive looks.

Under the hood, a full ESS supercharger kit pumping out 585 horsepower gives the low-slung, aggressive M3 some matching performance. The kit produces the 40% gain over stock thanks to a Vortech V3SI blower and a high-capacity liquid intercooler system. The mean tone of the M3 is piped out through an Arqray Power exhaust system and Mastermind cross-pipe, taking the world-renowned V8 howl to exotic and super-car levels of tone, pitch, and scream.


ess-supercharger-e92-m3
Under the car is a set of KW Clubsport coilovers, which bumps the handling up a notch while also bringing the car closer to Earth, helping to fill the wheel wells with the Rotiform SNAs and Nitto Invos. The SNAs that are tucked beneath the flares are the lowest-offset set Rotiform has ever built. Measuring out to an impressive 19x10.5 et-15 in the front and a mind-boggling 19x12 et-50 in the rear, it leaves little room to go more aggressive. The rear wheels feature a full four inches of concave in the center, paired with a massive 7-inch lip.


nitto-tire-lb-performance-m3

Offering up tires for such a wheel is the team at Nitto. To bring the entire package the M3 has to offer to the pavement, the Rotiform wheels are wrapped in the Nitto Invo, their ultra-high-performance offering for supercars and anyone in need of maximum traction without the need for DOT R-Comps. It ices the cake that the Invo's tread pattern has to be the coolest available on the market.


liberty-walk-e92-bmw-nitto


Despite the long list of mods and challenges, the car was completed in time, and made the trip to Las Vegas for its unveiling on Friday. The result? Immediate attention, and it's easy to see why. We're under the impression that Liberty Walk has a hit once again. However, with an $11,000 price tag on the body kit alone, we're eager to see what comes of it. In any case, the LB Performance M3 takes what is already the epitome of the modern sports coupe and takes it to an exciting new level. The lines of the kit flow perfectly with the lines BMW sculpted from the beginning. Now to convince someone to mold the kit on.... Any takers?

Pogea Racing Offers a Boost to 415hp for Upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C has yet to arrive in dealerships, but Pogea Racing has already presented the first tune for the mid-engined Italian sports car. The tuning program of the Friedrichshafen-based German company has as highlights an engine upgrade that lifts output to 415 horsepower, an aerodynamic kit that reduces lift and massive 19- and 20-inch wheels.


Alfa-Romeo-4C-Pogea-Racing


Pogea also throws in sporty suspension components and interior accessories made of materials such as leather, aluminum and carbon fiber. The aero kit gives the Alfa 4C a more striking appearance thanks to the carbon fiber body parts for the front, side and rear. These elements also help reduce the lift forces, thus increasing high-speed driving stability.


The addition of these parts makes sense, as Pogea Racing plans to significantly boost the power of the four-cylinder engine from 240 horsepower to around 415 hp and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.


"To achieve this, various engine modifications are necessary: new turbochargers, tubular exhaust manifold and an exhaust system with valve control will replace the serial components. In addition, we optimise the fuel supply and the cooling system," explains company founder Eduard Pogea.


Alfa-Romeo-4C-Pogea-Racing-01


Pogea Racing also offers 19- and 20-inch XCUT rims developed with KW Automotive plus DCC and Clubsport suspension kits that promise to make driving dynamics even sportier. For those who want their Alfa Romeo 4C to be really exclusive, the aftermarket company offers everything from customized floor mats to complete leather interiors.


Too bad they didn't think of anything for the headlights...

Video: Porsche 911 RS 2011 by DP Motorsport

With 2.66 kg/hp this white -wide 964 Porsche 911 is much more than you expect


dp_motorsport_dp11_rs_2011


DP Motorsport has been tuning Porsche Cars for about 30 years, they really know what they are doing. This 964 model Porsche 911 has been heavily modified by the tuner, to a weight just over 1900 lbs (870kg). It sports a wide body upgrade, and carbon fiber everything.


This white 911 with  a 3.6 litre engine from a 993 and the wide  dp11 RS 2011 bodykit made completely  from carbon, including front bumper and hood, fenders, lightweight doors, rear fender flares, rear bumper and rear spoiler.


Porsche_911_DP_Motorsport_15


Alongside the green heated windscreen, a set of green-toned Plexiglas windows, as well as lightweight lamp lenses, were installed for the sake of weight saving. Reduced-weight tail light lamp holders, as well as air conditioner cover and underride protection from carbon, help chop the weight down to the desired figure. The carbon roof panel has been manufactured using the sandwich vacuum technique, and both hoods are equipped with quick release fasteners.


1973-Porsche-911-Tuned-by-DP-Motorsports-Windows


The output is 326hp. The engine breathes through two PMO carburettors with 50mm throats, with spark provided by an electronically governed twin-plug distributor system. Power is dispensed through a G50 five-speed gearbox with a limited-slip differential.


Porsche_911_DP_Motorsport_Engine


As for the interior, the dp 935 bucket seats, the light carbon dashboard, a special knee bar set and the raised central tunnel catch the eye at first glance. In contrast to the body colour, the interior is dominated by black Alcantra. A welded safety cage, a varnished sports steering wheel with Porsche horn button, a lid instead of the clock and a carbon underbody are impossible to overlook.


Porsche_911_DP_Motorsport_dp11_09


Finally, such specials are featured as a dp Clubsporttank with the capacity of 70 litres, a 25-amp gel battery starter, a smaller windshield cleaning liquid tank, light electric interior airing system, a middle oil cooler with front hood ventilation, as well as – how could it have been otherwise? – a brake cooling housing made of carbon.


All these modifications ultimately result in bringing the unladen weight of this 911 down to 870 kg (without fuel), the series standard being 1,080 to 1,335 kg depending on the type and equipment.


1973-Porsche-911-Upgraded-by-dp-Motorsport


Wheels size 9’ x 15’ and 13’ x 15’ by Fuchs coupled with 225/50-15 and 345/35-15 tires represent an adequate link between the vehicle and the road. Apart from the dp coilovers, adjustable stabilizers, as well as head bearing, the spring plates and rear-axle independent arms with Uniball bushings are definitely worth a mention. A braking system originating from a 964 model and adjusted for the 911-G-Modell provides appropriate deceleration.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe... Korean Joy Machine!

Hyundai Genesis Coupe... One of the best ways to spend $24,250.-



Just a few years ago if you told us that Hyundai would be as successful of a brand as it is now, we would have laughed it off. It’s obvious that many of us are still stuck in the past and feel that Hyundai will never be “worthy”. The truth is that numbers and facts don’t lie. Most affordable, Best Warranty, Most fuel efficient, just to name a few of the things that Hyundai has going for it. Anatoli out of Kent, Washington obviously realized all this and got himself a Genesis Coupe about a year ago. During that time he has invested a ton of time and money into his pride and joy as it clearly shows. Please allow us to introduce you to Anatoli and his extremely clean 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.


Photos By: Raphael Dayrit exclusively for StanceNation.com


He started with an aftermarket front mount intercooler, a HKS SSQIII BOV, AEM 3′ inch downpipe, and a DC sports 3′ inch cat back dual quad tipped exhaust. After that came the exterior. M&S custom front lip, which sits pretty low to the ground, M&S front grill, Sequence X- GT wing, and painted black headlight housing, just to name a few. It’s still relatively stock looking (besides the wheels) but it’s got just enough of the “personal touches” on it to make it stand apart from others. What do you think about these aggressive lines as seen in the photo below? Sexy, if you ask us..hmm!



So why did we choose to feature this Genesis? Fitment and overall appearance of it are on point, but what we really love is the uniqueness of it. There are only a handful Genesis Coupes out there doing it right (which we hope to show you soon) though chances are you probably won’t see one sitting proper in person. The wheels on this particular coupe are Varrstoens 2.2.1′s in 19×9.5 in the front and 19×10.5 in the rear with +22 offset. Suspension? Anatolis choice were BC Racing coilovers. Hit the Read More button below for more photos! Big shouting to Raphael Dayrit for photos!

Video: Shelby GT500 Super Snake 850 hp

2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake with 850 hp


When Ford released the 662-horsepower Mustang Shelby GT500, Shelby American wasn’t content. So on its own, the legendary aftermarket tuner went back to the design board – and upped the power to 850 horses.


2013-Ford-Mustang-GT500-Super-Snake-850-HP-by-Shelby-American-front-side


Shelby recently sent an “independent test driver” down to Brandenton Motorsports Park in Brandenton, Florida to put the 2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake to the test at the drag strip. Amazingly, the driver was able to make a quarter-mile run in 10.66 seconds, hitting 137 miles-per-hour.


2013-Ford-Mustang-GT500-Super-Snake-850-HP-by-Shelby-American-rear-side


Even more impressive? He did it all with pump gas and street tires.


[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRuE38Bl5Mo]

Shelby brags that the Super Snake is “more than just raw power and ridged track performance. Owners can drive this car every day with its docile and comfortable ride in normal traffic situations.” We drove the standard Ford Shelby GT500 and if the Super Snake is anything like it, the good folks at Shelby aren’t just blowing smoke.


But what will an extra 188 horsepower cost you over the stock $54,650 GT500 from your local Ford dealer? Why, just an extra $39,995 is all.


At just shy of $100,000, the Shelby Super Snake is surely best suited for someone with a big checkbook and who also doesn’t know that the Nissan GT-R exists, which will do the quarter-mile in 10.8 seconds and for less money.


Only 500 of the Super Snakes will be built at Shelby American in Las Vegas, so it’s sure to be a classic in 30 years time. While we love calculating cars like the Nissan GT-R, there’s something to be said about the bullheadedness of a true American pony car like the Super Snake.

Video: World's Fastest GT-R @382 Km/h Alpha 12 by AMS

AMS Performance sets a new world speed record for Nissan's GT-R R35 hitting 382 kph with the Alpha 12 !


Few months ago we posted about the fastest japanese GTR, the Top Secret GTR R35which had hit 377 km/h in Nardo Italy.

Top_Secret_GTR_R35_Nardo_Italy_377km_h

Now  AMS Performance has made the Nissan GT-R Alpha 12 with 1,700 horsepower under the hood. Recently AMS Super GT-R became  the fastest GT-R in the world  hitting an incredible top speed of 382.16 km/h (237.46 mph). The Alpha 12  GT-R is also capable of running the 1/4-mile in 9.44 seconds and a speed of 161 mph, goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.99 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.50 seconds and from 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) in 12.37 seconds.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MzpaNu74Ts]

Updates made by AMS include an updated twin-turbo kit and increased boost pressure. On top of that, AMS also went out and reinforced the block to ensure that the car’s engine could handle all the horses galloping underneath the hood. A base AMS 12 can develop a total of 1,318 horsepower, while in the 12+ version cranks the final output to up to 1,700 horsepower.
