EAS: BMW 7 Series M Sport

In September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW unveiled their latest 7 Series model with the aggressive M Sport package. The BMW 740d with M Sport package comprises an Aerodynamics Package as well as additional chrome trim on the specially designed front and rear aprons, illuminated M entry trim and BMW Individual High-Gloss Shadow Line. The dynamic look of the car is rounded off by 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design featuring different-sized tyres front and rear. As an option there are also 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design, again with different tire sizes front and rear.


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.


Compare to the original M Sport Package, European Auto Source takes a different approach and phases out the multiple chrome exterior design elements that are equally loved or disliked by many BMW fans.


All in all, a great improvement. But assumedly at a cost which - although unannounced - is likely to total a few thousand dollars.

Vorsteiner BR9 Edition for Bentley Continental GT

Elegant Design | Track Inspired Functionality
The BR9 edition based on the Bentley Continental GT/Speed Series consists of a 5-Piece lightweight aerodynamic package that is constructed with our high tech vacuum bagged dry carbon fiber technology.
Upfront our designers started with a full replacement front bumper cover that houses a larger and taller air inlet ducting in conjuction with a replaceable carbon fiber lower chin spoiler to optimize downforce & airflow.


The all-new BR9 front bumper sits 39mm lower than the original factory bumper and exudes its powerful & confident presence on the road.
Matching the new lower stance of the BR9 front bumper a full length side skirt attachment was created which utlizes a carbon fiber sill extension that improves aerodynamics & downforce at high speeds.


The BR9 carbon fiber rear bumper also sits 35mm lower than the original factory bumper accentuating its new aggressive sports car like stance. The BR9 lightweight rear bumper houses a racy integrated carbon fiber rear diffuser with built in dual racing fins that sits in between the oval tail pipes.
Finally the rear end of the BR9 is completed with an elegant yet functional carbon fiber deck lid spoiler attachment to balance the additional downforce of the front end.
All of the carbon fiber aero components are individually hand made by our master trained technicians and can be ordered in a choice of glossy or matte finish carbon fiber.
An optional 22inch Forged Aluminum Monoblock Mesh wheel code named the V-101 is also offered along with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tires.


The wheels are an optional add-on to the BR9 aero package that can be custom painted or powder coated to the customers desired finish specifications.
Our designers & engineers worked hard in creating a complete package that would not take away from the beautiful lines of the factory body but rather focusing on methods to enhance it. We wanted to offer our Bentley customers something that was classy and sports coupe like and we feel we have accomplished this goal.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class T-Model by Piecha Design

The T-models from Mercedes-Benz are extremely popular, since they combine luxury, sportiness and the generous passenger-compartment space of an estate car in perfection. At the same time, it is to be noted that particularly the sportiness has increased in the past years, and the actual storage space has become smaller from generation to generation as a negative effect of the perpetual search for a body design that is as streamlined as possible. But the times are gone when estate cars were still misused as workhorses and only pushed off in the direction of Africa after 300,000 or 400,000 km. Nowadays estate cars are absolute lifestyle models which are not necessarily driven by a father of a family, but also gladly by fashion-conscious single men or women.


Marcus Piecha, Managing Director of Piecha Design, who once again proves a fine hand in technical design terms, also shows himself to be strong in terms of trend. All components, and there are many, fit harmoniously into the body designs predetermined by Mercedes and conjure up a genuine exclusive lifestyle design vehicle from a simple estate car! In addition to a two-lamella grille made of chrome, which is simply exchanged with the original part, Piecha also treats the C-Class front to a headlight mask set made of PU-RIM, which are securely and easily affixed, and transform the large parking light area into a modern LED light-band look. The front spoiler lip, which in addition is easily mounted on the AMG styling front spoiler, is available in a primed model or optionally in black genuine carbon or, as used here, coated in silver genuine carbon. Custom-fit daytime running light elements - which are delivered ready to install and can be very easily exchanged for the original grille including fog lamps - have been integrated into the AMG styling front apron. Effective immediately, the LED daylight running light elements are also available for the serial bumpers and not only for the AMG styling.


Perfectly integrated into the back of the T-model, the AMG bumper obtains a diffuser set which is available in three surface versions, once in a black-structured version, then coated in silver carbon or classic in black carbon. The "Quadro" 4-pipe exhaust system, whose end pipes are very easily welded in place of the original end pipes, are also integrated in the AMG rear bumper. For all 6-cylinder models Piecha also offers the possibility to make a conversion to the original C63 AMG exhaust system.
In order to lend the grandiose 4-pipe look the necessary kick, Piecha has now also developed and installed a power converter for the C-Class. As a result, the lethargic start is eliminated and a noticeably better vehicle response with much better engine power is realised. The switching procedures from the upper gears go much quicker and are presented in a much sportier fashion as a result. A positive secondary effect: in addition to considerably more sportiness, a reduction of fuel consumption is achieved through the more sensible foot on the gas pedal and the more spontaneous vehicle response. Installation is conceivably simple and also a veritable plug & play solution. Incidentally, the CS power converter is also suitable for the new E-Class sedan W212 and the E-Coupe W207.


Exclusive Piecha dp2 Phantom wheels with a press-fitted stainless steel rim well polished to high gloss turn in the wheel housings. They are optionally available in classic high-gloss silver or also in trendy satin black. This wheel/tyre combination not only provides perfect grip conditions, but also an enhanced sporty look in the format 8.5 x 19 ET38 with 225/35 ZR19 in the front and 9.5 x 19 ET45 with 255/30 ZR19 Dunlop Sport Maxx in the rear. This wheel/tyre combination can be installed without body retrofitting. The lower suspension setting of the chassis is taken over by custom-built sports performance springs which are optionally available with a 20mm or 35mm lower suspension setting. As with this exclusive estate car, Piecha provides an individually adjustable threaded suspension for the perfect tuning of vehicle height with simultaneously outstanding comfort.

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo with 1500hp by Underground Racing

Created for a client named Jonah, the twin-turbo Gallardo (dubbed the TTG) produces a stunning 1500 WHP (at 30 psi) on VP C16 racing fuel. If that isn't impressive enough, the TTG is probably producing 1875 HP at the crank - when you consider drivetrain loss of around 25 percent.


Backed up by a six-speed transmission, Jonah was able to post a sub-ten second time through the quarter mile at a speed exceeding 160 mph. As Underground Racing is quick to point out, it was the first time Jonah drove the car after the modifications and he hasn't been to a drag strip in over a decade.


Underground Racing has shown off their twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo 'Race Version'.

Giant with 585 HP - by VÄTH Automobiltechnik

One of the most powerful ML 63 AMG comes from VÄTH Automobiltechnik. This fast vehicle with up to 300 km/h is being built on the ML 63 AMG base in Hösbach. The heart of this high-performance SUV is VÄTH 6.3 liters 585 HP engine with sensational 690 Nm.


In order to give the powerful engine its desired serviceability many engine parts have been substituted. The engine has enlarged countersunk channels leading to the cylinder head. Moreover, big intake and exhaust valves as well as a sports camshaft and fitting valve springs have been installed. Furthermore, individual fine tuning of engine electronics was carried out and an exhaust manifold, two high-grade steel catalyst converters and a sport air filter were installed. Special forged pistons guarantee stability at high engine rpm. Engine tuning costs 17.850,00 Euro plus 1.785,00 Euro for the installation.


Acceleration values also benefit from this exemplary power characteristic: for only 4.5 seconds a heavy SUV like a sports car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. At 300 km/h the giant is decelerated by air resistance.

Certainly this enormous available capability also imposes extreme requirements on aerodynamics, chassis and breaking system. The uplift on the rear axle can be reduced by a rear spoiler (405,00 Euro) mounted/glued over the tailgate.


The 3-spoke 22-inch light alloy rims combined with high performance 265/35 ZR 22 or 305/30 ZR 22 Dunlop tyres and wheel arches contribute to driving dynamics and exclusive design. The price per wheel set is 8.568,00 Euros. Thus, there is enough space left for the VÄTH high performance breaking system (4.641,00 Euros) with 8-piston fix calipers and 380 mm (15") break discs - be sure to find here flexible steel tubes and racing break fluids.

Adjustable sport suspension (1.952,00 Euros) based on Airmatic (-40mm/-1½") not only ensures ML lowering, but also guarantees road holding capacity of a sports car.

Fog lights behind the front bumper grill for 583,00 Euros complete the masterpiece!

German tuner 9ff Speed9 Based on Porsche 997 Turbo

9ff is a bit shy with the details, but for the body the windshield has been shortened and the rear hump that houses the folding roof has been replaced with a flat hard cover for that speedster "level vehicle silhouette" look.


German tuner 9ff is set to present their second independent complete vehicle at the Essen Motor Show next weekend. Based on the potent 997 Turbo, the 9ff Speed9 pays homage to the Porsche 356/ 1500S Speedster of 1955 and features a number of modifications that give it more power and handling prowess.


The bi turbo engine pushes out 478kW (650hp) and 890Nm at 2,850rpm. Engineers used a sports air filter, upgraded the ECU, installed a 9ff sports exhaust system including a new sports catalytic converter to achieve these results. It is driven by a Tiptronic gearbox with integrated paddles.


The aerodynamic package includes a front apron, side skirts and a rear apron. The interior boasts an alcantara dashboard, special 9ff Speed9 sports seats and a sports steering wheel. Most of the other bits and pieces can be customised to the buyer's wishes.


Improved handling will come from adjustable stabilisers on the front and rear axles, double springs and four aluminium spring plates. To stop it dead on its tracks is a 9ff brake system consisting of 380mm "compound" brake discs, 6-piston calipers and 9ff brake pads.
Hopefully 9ff will also release performance figures when unveiling the car.

Heico Sportiv Tunes Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe Facelift

The new Volvo C30 stands for individualism and ecologi-cally friendly driving. Volvo tuner HEICO SPORTIV is sharpening this profile... in every respect.

"The future of our business model lies in the intelligent combination of performance-oriented products and ecological sustainability," explains HEICO SPORTIV general manager, Holger Hedtke.

A philosophy that accompanies every step of the new Volvo C30 product development process. With the Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe, HEICO SPORTIV will be launching the economy model as the basis for the extensive individualization program.

The standard factory specifications of the Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe already offer a wide range of innovative technologies such as start/stop driving with brake-energy recovery, reducing fuel consumption to 3.9 liters/100 km* (* Combined, in accordance with prescribed measurement technique (RL80/1268/EWG)). "This is our basic starting point for proving that ecologically friendly action and the pleasure of driving don't need to be mutually exclusive," says Holger Hedtke. "In doing so, aerodynamically optimized components such as the radiator grille or under-floor intentionally remain untouched."


After all the consumption cutting measures have been considered, the reprogramming of the original engine control unit generates a maximum power of 92 kW/125 bhp (for the 80 kW/109 bhp model) and maximum torque of 280 Nm (240 Nm). As a result, the Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe does zero to 100 km/h in just 9.2 seconds, beating its series-produced counterpart by 2.1 seconds! A maximum speed of 200 km/h is also attainable, 10 km/h faster than the series version.

Particularly striking are the remodeled design elements at the front and rear. In redesigning these, HEICO SPORTIV pursued its "subtle evolution" philosophy here, as well. The HEICO SPORTIV front spoiler - which replaces the original lower base section of the bumper - consists of fiber-strengthened polyurethane and is fixed using the existing anchorage points.

The same applies to the rear valence which mimics the front spoiler's laterally arranged air vents and has a centrally placed diffuser element. The rear valence serves to accommodate the HEICO SPORTIV four pipe stainless steel exhaust system.

Additionally to these, HEICO SPORTIV also offers a range of further design possibilities.



Product summary:

	Sport wheel rim program VOLUTION® with exclusive five (V.) and ten spoke design (X.) for 18 and 19 inch wheels in the colors Silver, Titanium and Black Diamond Cut with classy diamond polish
	Differential lock for superior traction
	Stainless steel double and quad pipe exhaust system with “HEICO SPORTIV Sound Guarantee” for gasoline engines
	Sport suspension for lowering the vehicle by ca. 30 mm
	4-cylinder sport brake system for maximum deceleration
	Range of interior applications in aluminum or leather – such as the door pin set, shift stick grip, parking brake handle, pedal set and foot rest
	And last but not least: tuning for the Volvo C30 T5 (max. 191 kW/260 bhp and 380 Nm) and all turbo-diesel engines (1.6D, 2.0D and D5)

The Volvo C30 1.6D DRIVe is available from HEICO SPORTIV with a starting price tag of ca. EUR 29,900; the parts will naturally also be deliverable individually from spring 2010.
