<p>The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is a pretty special car and it&#8217;s not likely that if you own one yo ever decide to modify it. But if you did, Sportec&#8217;s kit is up to the job.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Sportec-997-GT3-RS.jpg" alt="Sportec Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Sportec 997 GT3 RS"  title="Sportec Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0" /></p>
<p>Styling-wise they put a set of their own wheels on the car, which is good because the standard Michelin tires are not that good on the road. They also add some graphics which are not so good.</p>
<p>As for the engine, Sportec makes a few adjustments and increase the output to 525 hp. With that you can hit 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach 315 km/h. So if anything, they made it even more special.</p>

<p>They have given it a nice body kit with large air intake at front, blacked-out grilles, side skirts, as well as a sporty rear apron with four tailpipes, as well as tinted windows and metallic paint job.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hofele-Tuning-Audi-A8-Diesel-1.jpg" alt="Hofele Audi A8 D4 Hofele Tuning Audi A8 Diesel 1"  title="Hofele Audi A8 D4" /></p>
<p>An air suspension plus 20 to 22-inch wheels are available for the car. The suspension lowers the car by 40mm.</p>
<p>As far as engines, the diesel-powered TDI V8 engine gets a boost from 150ps to 190 ps with 90 Nm of torque. The petrol model also gains a healthy gain from 370 to 390 ps. Nice package, and well executed.</p>

<p>The tuner also provides you with 20mm lower suspension, free flow exhausts, sports air filter and revised chassis. The power has gone up by 20hp and 25 Nm of torque. The performance enhancement is negligible.</p>
<p>The car will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re talking about the Range Rover Evoque Cabrio Startech has just unveiled. It looks petty much the same as the original car LR has made, but it also gets a body kit and custom interior.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Startech-RR-Evoque-Cabrio.jpg" alt="Startech Evoque Cabrio Startech RR Evoque Cabrio"  title="Startech Evoque Cabrio" /></p>
<p>The car gets a set of massive wheels to look good at Geneva Motor Show, where it&#8217;s supposed to make its debut.</p>
<p>There is still no official plans announced for the production of the car, but given the fact Startech is an independent tuner there should be no problem, providing you pay the price, which is sure to be pretty fat!</p>

<p>What we like about it most is the powerrrrr! Hamann has improved the engine and raised the power to a massive 720hp and over 900 Nm of torque. That is incredible.</p>
<p>Other goodies include a black and white interior with sport seats and steering wheel, and sport suspension.</p>

<p>And it doesn&#8217;t disappoint. With a styling package including side skirts, modified front apron, a big roof spoiler, and a new rear apron with a twin central exhaust pipe as well as buffed up fenders, the car mans business.</p>

<p>The kit and the roof are finished in contrasting colors for added joie de vivre. A range of wheels are available up to 22-inch size and in different designs.</p>
<p>The power is also enhanced, with 31hp/65Nm added to the output of the diesel engine, and 38hp/55Nm to the petrol one.</p>

<p>This beasty car features a unique body kit with widened fenders, front lip, rear diffuser, new wings, the whole nine yards in fact. It also has a two-tone black and red paint job which is a bit too vulgar, but sporty.</p>

<p>We are more fond of the mechanicals in this car, as the 570hp V8 engine has been given a fresh breath of life and booted to 636 hp and 680 Nm of torque. That means 0 to 100 in 3.6 seconds, and the top speed of 320 km/h.</p>
<p>21-inch wheels, sport suspension, and black and red interior are other parts of the Hawk package.</p>

<p>The torque had to be limited to 1100Nm or the gearbox would just shatter. 1100 is still plenty though, so the car does 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds and 200km/h in 9.8 seconds, and can eventually reach 370 km/h.</p>
<p>A body kit, a set of wheels and some leather and carbon fiber for the interior are also included.</p>

<p>The latest model to join it is the BMW 328i, which has a magnificent 2.0- liter four-cylinder engine. It become even more magnificent though, when AC is done with it. They boost the output to 291 hp and 410 Nm (302 lb-ft) from 240 hp and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ASC3-bmw-1.jpg" alt="AC Schnitzer BMW 328i ASC3 bmw 1"  title="AC Schnitzer BMW 328i" /></p>
<p>That reduces the 0 to 100km/h acceleration time. It now takes 5.7 seconds to do that which is great for a mid-size family car.</p>
<p>The car also benefits form other goodies such as revised front and rear aprons, sport exhausts, modded suspension and AC&#8217;s designer wheels. All in all, it&#8217;s a job well done by guys at AC.</p>
