Abarth 500 Monza

The latest tuned Abarth 500 is a work of Fenice Milano and Romeo Ferraris, two of the Italy’s finest tuners and it’s a tribute to the Monza track.

In terms of the power and performance, the Abarth 500 Monza gets a power boost up to 260 hp.

But this car is all about the design inside and out. On the body you get the racing stripes in Monza’s traditional colors running all over the car, plus 17-inch wheels and some Monza badges.

Inside the car too you will find those stripes, on the seats, and more logos!

Senner Audi RS5

The new Audi RS5 has received a refreshing treatment from Senner Tuning Center in form of 500 horsepower.

The standard V8 engine of the RS5 has been reprogrammed in the ECU and also gets a new sport exhaust system. So the power’s shot up from 450 hp to 506 hp with 478 Nm of torque.

The effect of that power on performance is dramatic, as the car can now go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds (standard 4.6) and reach a top speed in excess of 300 km/h.

The body remains pretty much standard except some blacked-out parts, but you can say no to a set of 20-inch rims, can you!

Irmscher Camaro i42

There are enough overpowered and highly modified Camaros in America for you not to consider a German job, but Irmscher’s package is definitely worth a look.

Their Camaro i42 features a subtle body kit garnished with a white paint job and black racing stripes as well as graphics, and also comes with some big 22-inch wheels for good measure.

Then there’s the engine, which is a 6.2 liter V8 belonging to the SS version. Irsmcher has supercharged this unit and also fiddled with it a bit, so now it can develop 509 hp and that means 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds.

A high performance brake system and sport suspension are other parts of this fine package.

World famous German tuner Gemballa is right back at it, after going through some horrible non-business related troubles (the founder of the company was murdered!) and they’re back with a new Cayenne Tornado.

It is based on the 2011 Porsche Cayenne 958 and if you have seen their previous works, it also looks familiar.

Cam Shaft Cadillac CTS-V

Cadillac CTS-V is a not car that gets tuning packages very often, but finally a German tuner called Cam Shaft came up with something for it.

And for start, they spray-painted all the chrome bits on the car, even the wheels in matte black! The body too is wrapped in a special matte white. So all the bling bling is gone and replaced with, well, nothing!

The design is not a very nice job to be honest, but the engine is. There Cam Shaft has used Wait4Me performance parts including larger air intake and optimized ECU to crank the power up from 552 to 630 hp. That we like!

Here’s the pricing of each part:

- Full foil finishing of the outer visible surfaces in matt-white costs 2250 €.
- Deplating and painting of 25 chrome parts in matt-black, including wheels painted in matt-black and black nickel-plated wheel bolts costs 3250 €.
- Compressor kit costs 3800 € including installation.

Porsche Cayenne Radical Star

If you are bored with all those European kits fro the new Porsche Cayenne, then this awesome Russian might be able to float your boat!

The Porsche Cayenne Radical Star y Met-R gets a massive kit, which is very in-your-face, but in a cool way. It adds 10cm to the width of the car and also includes flared arches, tall skirts, and heavily revised bumpers, which in combination with the lowered suspension and big wheels, create a very sporty image.

To cope with the mean looks, Met-R has also came up with a light performance upgrade with refined ECU and sport exhausts, so the power goes up to 556 hp.

The only criticism is the design of the wheels on this car, which is very old-fashioned!

Wheelsandmore Mercedes SLR 722

Not sure if you want to fiddle with your half a million dollar Mercedes SLR 722 supercar, but if you do Wheelsandmore can do it for you!

First off they install a set of 20-inch big wheels under the car and make the glow by using coilover suspension with adjustable rebound and dampening rates which drop the car.

They can also tweak the supercharged V8 from 622 hp to either 650 hp or 680 hp, or even 700 hp with some ECU refinement and using sport exhaust system. Still, the SLR 722 does not need any of this extra garnish.
