VW Touareg widebody by JE Design

German tuner JE Design has a new wide-body kit for the VW Touareg range, including the R-Line.

For the body kit JE Design fits a new sport grille, front spoiler, front and rear widening wheel arches, a rear apron insert and a tailgate panel that provides a distinct style to the Touareg.

The tuner offers power boosting too on the Touareg range including on the 4.2 liter TDI. By means of an ECU remap output is boosted from the series 340 PS (250 kW / 335 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque to 410 PS (302 kW / 404 hp) and 930 Nm (686 lb-ft) on the large diesel unit.

That extra power is good for a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of 5.4 seconds on the hefty Touareg (instead of the standard 5.8 seconds) while top speed rises from 242 km/h (150 mph) to 269 km/h (167 mph).

JE Design offers its own SUV-Select 10 x 22-inch rims wrapped in ultra high-performance tires sized 295/30R22. A wheel spacer kit (30 millimetres in front, 40 millimetres in the rear) is also fitted to make sure the wheels look at home in the new arches.

A suspension-lowering module brings the SUV 35 mm closer to the ground while a dual-exhaust system with stainless steel oval pipes is part of package too.

For the interior is a full Alcantara finish for the dashboard, door panels and the roof liner.

Inside, the cabin can be equipped with two-tone seats, carbon fiber trim and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel.

Camaro SS Convertible by Geiger Cars

German tuner Geiger Cars has done the Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible into a mean-looking American-euro machine.

The Munich-based tuner adds a little German know-how to this American muscle car by means of a new supercharger for the 6.2 liter V8 unit. Power gets dialed up to 568 PS (418 kW / 560 hp) and 779 Nm (575 lb-ft) of torque.

Geiger provides the large car with 22-inch rims wrapped in 265/30/R22 tires at the front and 295/25/R22 ones on the rear axle.

An adjustable suspension is also part of the package along with a sport exhaust system.

The body kit includes a chin spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and a rear wing.

Price tag: €85,000.

BMW 7-Series L by Tuningwerk

German tuner Tuningwerk has a package for the BMW 7-Series L (long wheelbase edition) that dials output up to 720 PS (530 kW / 710 hp).

The corresponding torque rating is equally impressive at 1,090 Nm (804 lb-ft). All that output is good for a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217.5 mph), achieved in part also by a substantial weight reduction.

The 120 kg diet was attained by the use of carbon as well as other factors including lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes and a new sport exhaust system. Total curb weight with half a tank of fuel is 2,030 kg (4466 lbs).

Final cost the the 720 HP Tuningwerk BMW 7-Series L is €198,000.
