VW Golf IV by Mattig

Mattig has really gone to work on the Golf IV, making sure the somewhat ‘greying’ compact vehicle is reborn with a much more sporty look. This has been made possible with the new Mattig body kit, which makes the Golf look fantastic. A number of accessories provide the perfect finishing touch.

There are no shortages of Golf IVs on the road and German styling tuner, Mattig, has got an all new kit for it. The center point of the kit is the Audi single frame grill integration with front fascia plus hood extensions for that angry eyebrow look. The headlamps housings get the black paint treatment with chrome xenon lamp hardware. Side mirrors get integrated turn signals while the clear lens tail amps get LEDs. Side skirts and the rear fascia are modestly trimmed with 4 pipe exhaust tips cleanly sitting within. Lastly, the 5-piece rear roof spoiler completes the look.

Hamann Stallion 911 Turbo Tuning

Porsche 911 Turbo was already one of the fastest, best-performing sport cars on the road, but there is Hamann – who’ve tuned everything from the MINI Cooper to the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti – come in to confound expectations and shatter assumptions.

Not satisfied with “only” 480 horsepower, the Hamann Stallion packs a whopping 630 of its namesakes. To achieve that 150hp boost in output, Hamann swapped out the variable nozzle turbochargers and replaced them with… bigger variable nozzle turbochargers. They’ve also fitted a new stainless steel exhaust, a new air filter and, of course, tinkered with the ECU. But they didn’t stop at the engine.

Hamann also chopped the roof down by 8 cm (about two and a half inches), bolted on a new aero kit and fitted huge 20-inch three-piece modular rims. They’ve also done up the interior in ostrich skin, applied some racing stripes and put new Lamborghini Style Doors.

RENNtech SLR McLaren 722 PKG2

This did take the title unite to believe that the number’722 ‘represents the total power developed V8 engine of 5.5 liters, while others believed that the car will be built only 722 units. But all of them were wrong. Actually, the name comes from the car Mille Miglia race in 1955, where Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson won in a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR favorite in front of Ferrari and Porsche. The car will then contest the 722 number, which indicates startling time, 7:22 a.m.
Last year, tuner Renntech put an end to this confusion and climbed German supercar power to 722 horse power - from 650 but has a 722 standard. Kit PKG1 included intercooler improved, an increase and a modified ECU.
Tuner in Florida now launched PKG2 kit that increases the power of the car at 740 HP available at 6,400 rpm. The machine has also received an update on the part of aesthetics, being equipped with a set of 10 with Signature rims spite available in three different finishing.
The price for PKG1 starts from 12,990 U.S. dollars while PKG2 cost 26,990 U.S. dollars. Renntech also offers a set of 20 inches rims against the amount of 7,800 U.S. dollars and a braking system performance in May on request.

Lexus IS-F by Wald

The Lexus IS F was recently launched in Europe and the States following the successful introduction to its native Japan last year where it is going head to head with the likes of the BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG. Despite a pretty formidable package under the hood where you will find the 417bhp 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to an eight-speed paddleshift transmission, the exterior styling does not show the aggression to match.

The most notable feature on these newly surfaced photos is the addition of a new huge rear diffuser which optimizes air flow under the car, other features on the rear include additional air vents on the sides of the apron and a new rear wing. Cool car!

Lamborghini doors on that Es-ca-lade

So said the rapper 50 Cent in a video-or the while leading an Escalade with the doors open, of course up. But this time, the text does not match, because the car is a Mercedes-Benz GL.
Kit LSD is offered by German tuner ART and likely will impress anyone. And not so kit itself, but the car is located. Perhaps now that people from ART sing something like ‘we put Lamborghini doors on that Mercedes GL’.
