This may be a site about cars but we all know that a car is incomplete without a hot babe laying in some seductive fashion on the hood of the car or as the designated passenger in the ride. Below you will find two videos of Gisele (apparently that’s her name) going for a spin in a Cadillac CTS-V as the passenger. Obviously the video and the whole scenario was pre-planned including the type of clothing she is wearing.
There is a lot of wiggling and jiggling in the video and that’s just the way we like it. The only annoying thing about the video is her reactions to the cornering, acceleration, and the crap that’s coming out of her mouth. I recommend watching the first time with the sound and the next 10 times without any sound. continue reading →
If you aren’t familiar with Project Kahn, you probably should get right on that because the company has worked their magic on some badass cars in the past. And this time, it’s the 2012 Range Rover Sport dubbed as the Vesuvius Edition Sport 300.
For starters, one will notice the unique paint job on the Project Kahn Range Rover with the matt orange hood and roof. The Range Rover also features a black rubber sidestep with orange edging, front grille insert in orange, front lip spoiler in orange and black combo, and Kahn RS 22-inch black alloy wheels with tiny orange lip to keep it subtle yet classy. To give this supercharged Range Rover some big sound, a custom quad exhaust system in a black finish is also installed on this luxury SUV. continue reading →
If 270 horsepower isn’t enough for you on the Volkswagen Golf R then perhaps 530 might satisfy your pony fetish? The German tuning company, Siemoneit Racing, saw room for improvement and took action.
Siemoneit Racing’s version is dubbed as the VW Golf R ‘Black Pearl’ and is offering two tuning packages for customers to choose from. The first package involves an ECU tune, a custom exhaust, and a new air intake system which helps boost the horsepower from 270 to an impressive and unnecessary 355 horsepower while the torque is upped to 357 lb-ft at peak. I think most people would stop at the stage I as 355 is plenty of power for this small hatchback. But the folks over at Siemoneit Racing are not ‘most people’.
With the second package for the Golf R, the tuners give the car more steroids than a East German Olympian. The stage II package turns the Golf R into an absolute monster putting down 530hp thanks to further tuning of the engine software, a larger turbo charger, a bigger aluminum intercooler, and a free-flow exhaust system which differs from the stage I upgrade. continue reading →
For those of us “poor” schmucks that have the entry-level Audi R8 only putting out a mere 430 horsepower have something to look forward to. Tuners over at O.CT have a little tuning package that heats things up for the R8.
O.CT’s performance package for the 4.4 liter V8 increases the power from 430 horsepower to an impressive 565 HP thanks to a supercharger kit and lots of tuning. And the torque is now at 413 pound-feet at peak. The 0-60mph for the Audi R8 is now 0.7 seconds faster than the stock Audi R8. According to O.CT, their tuned R8 is capable of reaching a speed of 155 miles per hour in a quick 24 seconds. The top speed of the O.CT’s Audi R8 remains unknown. continue reading →
Never been a big fan of the BMW X6 but the folks over at Lumma Design make the car a bit more bearable to look at and have spiced it up a bit. Lumma Design has worked on the X6 in the past but this time, they fiddle around with the xDrive40d which sports a twin-turbo 3.0 liter six cylinder pumping out 306HP and 443 lb-ft of torque.
Lumma Design technicians started off by doing an ECU tune and installing a custom sports exhaust system which increased the power of the X6’s to 340HP and a massive 494 lb-ft of torque. With the added power, the suspension was also upgraded with a lowered sports suspension that drops the ride height by 40mm. To give it that stream line look, 22-inch lightweight alloy racing wheels are slapped onto the BMX X6. continue reading →
Never been a fan of the Volkswagen Beetle and never will be. Yeah Yeah, the good ol’ saying “Never say never” does not apply to myself or this car and that’s my final answer. Volkswagen tuners, ABT, begs to differ and have come up with a tuning package for the all-new 2012 VW Beetle and has even given it a cute name, the Speedle.
The performance upgrades by ABT are somewhat impressive but still not enough for me to go out and purchase the vehicle. The exact details won’t be available until September at the Frankfurt Motor Show but we do know the performance upgrades will be for the European model lineup. ABT has increased the output of the 1.2 TSI gasoline engine to around 140 horsepower which is an increase in 35 HP. The 1.4 TSI gas engine goes from 160 horsepower to a respectable 200 HP. And the flagship 2.0 TSI will go from the stock 200 HP to an impressive 240 HP.
ABT didn’t forget about the diesel powertrain here. The company has modified the 1.6 TDI to pump out 125 HP over the stock 105 HP while the 2.0 TDI pumps out 170 HP over the stock 140 HP. continue reading →
