RIEGER styling kit for Astra H and Corsa D
RIEGER Tuning has unveiled new styling packages for the popular Opel Astra H and Opel Corsa D.
The Astra H is outfitted with a new front bumper, optional LED daytime running lights, aggressive side skirts, and a new rear bumper that boasts a sporty rear diffuser. Other styling tweaks include headlight masks, a sport exhaust system with four tailpipes, H&R lowering springs (which reduce ride height 30mm), and 19-inch Brock B21 alloy wheels.
While the Astra only looks "so-so", the RIEGER Corsa D has far greater appeal thanks to its stylish front spoiler lip extensions and attractive side skirts. Out back, there is a modified rear bumper, a new rear diffuser, and a sport exhaust system with dual oval tailpipes. RIEGER also equipped the car with a KW coilover suspension kit and 19-inch Brock 17 RC white-polished alloy wheels.
Both styling kits are constructed from high-quality ABS plastic and are TÜV approved.

G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS
Because no serious tuner can accept that a factory car will be more powerful than their tuned version of the same car, these power-loving companies are always trying to outgun the standard car by a mile if they can. G-POWER's reputation is one of gung-ho power that seems to know no boundaries.
As recently as in March this year the tuner released the X5 G-POWER TYPHOON with 386kW (525hp). Since then BMW has confirmed the power figure of the standard X5 M to be 408kW (555hp). Not to be upset by the OEM the tuner now brings out the X5 G-POWER TYPHOON RS which forks out a phenomenal 460kW (625hp) and maximum torque of 700Nm from a completely re-engineered 4.8-litre V8.

IND Silverstone II based on BMW E93
IND has unveiled their new Silverstone II BMW M3 convertible.
Designed to be "clean and subtle", the package features a discrete polyurethane front lip extension and the complete removal of all stock OEM reflectors. Other changes include a new "challenge" rear diffuser and 20-inch BBS LM chrome wheels outfitted with Nitto Invo tires.
In the coming months, IND will outfit the car with an Eisenmann Sport exhaust system, a Rogue short shift kit, and a performance shift knob and boot.
Although official information wasn't released, power likely comes from the standard 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 414 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Created for an unnamed client of IND's Portfolio styling service, the Silverstone II isn't "a mass produced modified car, but rather a car that is uniquely our client's."

Jaguar XK-R by Arden
As part of the Oldtimer Grand Prix taking place at Nürburgring, Arden is putting the new Jaguar XKR 5.0L on show.
The 2010 Jaguar XKR 5.0L model only needed slight modification due to its modelling on the Arden AJ20 Coupe design introduced at the International Automobile Fair (IAA.)in 2005. This, alongside the various well known 9x21'' sportline alloy wheels, the new 5.0L possesses a redesigned chassis, which was developed in collaboration with Bilstein and improves the driving dynamics and agility of the wild cat. The special high performance stainless steel exhaust system with sport catalytics guarantees not only increases performance and improves handling at low speeds, but also has an out-of-this world sound. The four pipe system is rounded-off with the well known AJ20 Wild Cat Heck plus diffuser.
The front of the newest XKR is aesthetically improved through a specially hand-worked and chrome-plated stainless steel grill. These, along with the Arden badge with patented security fixing let the sportsman shine with a new glory.
For those who aren't satisfied by 510bhp and a 250km/h top speed, we offer not only a performance increase of roughly 30bhp and 50Nm but also the accompanying V-Max suspension and a speedometer increased to 320km/h.
Anyone who wants to see the newest Jaguar from Arden close-up can do so from the 7th to the 9th of August in the Motosportcenter at Nürburgring. For any further questions, just ask our staff at any time.

Aston Martin Vantage by Elite
Final concept images have just been released for the 2010 Aston Martin LMV/R (Le Mans Vantage Racer). Only 30 of these race cars for the street will be produced for the world. Following in the footsteps of the Ferrari Scuderia and Stradale and Lamborghini Superleggera, the Elite LMV/R is lighter than the factory Vantage due to most of the body panels being made from carbon fiber. The Scuderia, Stradale and Superleggera were built for the purists who wanted a race car for the street, a more nimble version of the production street car that they were built from. These cars aren't for everybody due to their harsher ride and loud exhaust systems. This is the company that the LMV/R will now be amongst but even more rare and special. The Superleggera's US production was 172 cars, the Ferrari Stradale seen 1,288 examples built and the Scuderia production is supposed to top out at about 1,500 cars.

Gemballa Mirage GT Gold Edition
Right, so some of you might remember Mirage GT Carbon Edition from Porsche tuner Gemballa. As the name suggests, they took an already hypercar cool Porsche Carrera GT and added lightness, a.k.a. lots of additional carbon fiber. They also tweaked the power a bit, with the 5.7-liter V10 making 670 horsepower in this application. The resulting car had a quicker zero to sixty time (3.7 vs. 3.9 from the factory) and a higher top speed (208 mph for the Gemballa/205 mph for the car from Stuggart). Only five editions would be built, which of course leaves us with the perennial uber-car dilemma: It's not exclusive enough.
Meet the Gemballa Mirage GT Gold Edition. It's very much like the Carbon Edition – there's still plenty of carbon fiber – only this one's got lots and lots of gold. Gold in the sills, the wheels, the air intake, the wing, the rear diffuser, the trunk lid, the brake calipers, the rear brake vent outlets, the wing mirrors and the engine bay. There's gold all the hell over the place inside the car, too, including the vents, the HVAC controls and the bottom of the gear shift. Which brings up the only point we have to make about the Mirage GT – either edition.
Gemballa went on ahead replaced the birch/ash wood shift knob with carbon fiber. The lightweight wooden knob was an homage to balsa wood shifter in the legendary 917. And really, the knob's kinda the entire point of the car. So... What's that? Porsche went ahead and sullied the memory of their beloved 917 by offering an optional carbon fiber knob in the Carrera GT? Well then, Gemballa... carry on.
