This concept, described by the Italians from Pininfarina as a back point in the auto style of the company, has an aggresive design, with an aggresive body-kit.

The Design Departament Director from Pininfarina told us that: “it combines our love and dedication for what we are doing, the passion for innovation and the need to combine beauty with functionality, sport aspect with elegance”.

Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe Aerokit

Porsche made a new special kit called Aerokit for the sport model Turbo Coupe 911. This includes a fronal spoiler and a completely new case for the engine.

The frontal spoiler and the back spoiler have a typical turbo design of a supercar. The engineers from Porsche, Weissach, were very careful when they made the kit because of the aerodynamic functionality. The most important aspect was upgrading the maneuverability and the result was that the coefficient of pressing lowered at 0,31. This thing offers stability, even with the power of 490 HP. This kit costs 4500.

Porsche tuned by Rinspeed

The Helvetia company, Rinspeed, known worldwide for their Porsche tunings, made a new project called X-Treme, characterized by some add-ons like some dynamic and sport packets. These packets match with any Cayenne model.

The exterior modifications are made by the frontal spoiler that impresses us because of it’s aggresive aspect, the admission grids that help at cooling the brake system and bigger wheel arcs that give back the SUV a more aggressive aspect. The back spoiler has a big air diffuser that decreases significant the pressing force. Because of it’s powerful engine that has 600 HP, this tuned model is a beast.

Rieger Mercedes-Benz SLK

The design of this car has features from Formula 1 racing vehicles, so you could imagine the perfect mix between sporting and elegance. Great curves, wing profiles in the mask and double exhaust tips, no wonder the Mercedes SLK has the lowest coefficient among all convertibles, being the most aerodynamic car. If a regular person would find the car perfect, Rieger tuning want to get more from it.

So the first thing they did was changing the front bumper. To change the whole look a front mask was added, not divided in two parts, but connected to the front bumper. New front hood was necessary too. But the three-spoke star on the edge of Mercedes-Benz, where is it? Well there’s only a big chromed circle with the logo on the front mask, much cooler. To finish with the front we tell you that big eyebrows are mounted on the lights in the same color as the body.

We go now to the back of the car where we can notice two wide openings with a massive double exhaust tip on the left and a decent rear spoiler on the trunk.
You can chose many models of rims like ASA ZT1 CHROME 8,5Jx19 ET 30 + 10mm distance washers and 235/35 19“ tires or 10,5Jx19 ET 25 + 3mm washers and 265/30 19“ tires. The greatest thing about this car are the LSD vertical doors. Even with a chicken bright yellow color it looks nice and you’ll be always noticed on the road.

Hummer HX Concept

David Rojas, Min Young Kang and Robert Jablonski were the three GM designers who provided a fun, nimble and innovative HUMMER concept, a off-road vision for the future. The new 2008 model should be presented at the North American International Auto Show. The task wasn’t easy for the three young designers, working with such a big brand, numerous challenges appeared, but in the end the model lived up to the market’s expectation of HUMMER off-road capability. Carl Zipfel, an ex-professional motocross racer and director of the HUMMER design studio, was the person giving directions so the design would respect the Hummer brand.

After three months of sketching and sculpting, Bob Lutz, GM vice chairman and Ed Welburn, chose the ultimate design that would become the HX concept. The E-85 FlexFuel capable HUMMER HX was now proud to show off his road spirit in a fully customizable package. Upgrades of the new model offer a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger, a modular, removable rear roof assembly, a slant back assembly with removable doors and fender flairs and many others.
“Working as a team, you realize it’s more than one person influencing the vehicle,’ said Rojas. ‘You can see the inspiration from each of our designs in the final concept vehicle. We’re all proud to have the chance to see our sketches become reality.”

Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Next to F430 coupe and the F430 Spider, a new ferrari was born, the 430 Scuderia, a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta, bringing the formula 1 feeling directly to the streets where anyone can take advantage. The car is similar to the F430, but with a more sporting look, especifically for the passionate customers. The developers did not forget what formula 1 tought them and applied that knowledge to create a light weight car with innovative technology for extremely high-performance.

With a V8 510 hp at 8500 rpm engine and a power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp, because of the very light weight, around 1250 kg, the car is better than the F430. Cutting-edge solutions like “F1 Superfast”, new traction control, a single integrated system combining the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control, all this makes the Ferrari 430 Scuderia to perform superb on and off the track.
