On the styling front, the model is equipped with a wide body kit that includes new bumpers, revised side skirts and extended wheel arches.

G-Power BMW M3 E46

G-Power has unveiled a new tuning package for the BMW M3 (E46). For added performance, the tuner installed a supercharger which enables the 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine to produce 450 PS (331 kW / 444 hp) and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 107 PS (79 kW / 106 hp) and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft). This enables the model to accelerate from 0-200 km/h in 14.7 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Besides being more powerful, the coupe also has been equipped with an adjustable coil-over suspension, a sports exhaust system, high performance brakes and 20-inch alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

BMW M3 by ATT-TEC

German tuning firm ATT-TEC from the city of Rastatt in Baden has optimized a BMW M3 Cabriolet (E93) for much more power and sinister looks.

Starting with the vinyl wrap job (€2,600.00), the company incorporated the "steam hammer" matte black finish for the majority of the exterior panels, accented by carbon fiber wrap on the hood, mirrors and rear diffuser.

The look is completed with a set of one-piece forged 8.5 x 20 ADV.1 rims in 5.1 design at the front and 11x20s on the rear plus Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires sized 245/30R-20 and 295/20R-20 front to rear. Further improvements include a KW Inox Line III Variant coilover system (€1,929) in the suspension. Installation costs €559 which includes wheel alignment.

Thanks to G-Power's supercharger kit (€11,430 + €1,310 inst.) power is boosted and additional 100 HP to 520 HP (382 kW / 512 bhp). A sport exhaust sytem (€1,455.00 + €140.00 inst.) with 2 x 90 mm diameter tips aids engine breathing. 

Added all together and the complete tuning package from ATT-TEC comes to €26,573.

DMC Terra 650 based on Porsche Cayenne II

Taking a break from their core focus of tuning Lamborghini cars, DMC Design has released preliminary images of their styling and performance package for the Porsche Cayenne II dubbed, Terra 650. DMC reports a growing number of their clientele using the Porsche Cayenne or Panamera as their daily car, and therefore, thought a moderate tuning program for the Porsche models would be a good opportunity for cross sales.

Set to debut at this week's Top Marques Monaco show, the Terra 650 components were engineered to be direct replacement parts with an installation time of 1-2 hours. As a result, the exterior styling focuses on spoilers and diffusers but not bumper fascias as they require painting. All six replacement parts are made of carbon fiber and include hood, side skirts, side mirrors, rear wing spoiler, liftgate trim and graphics kit.

On the engine performance side, DMC decided to provide an upgraded turbo charger with turbine wheels made of titanium-aluminum. This helps reducing the inertia and thus gives a much better gas response. Fitted with DMC's brand new compressor wheels, the airflow is a maximum 10 percent greater than the original turbos. The result is an increased power output of 650 PS (478 kW / 641 bhp) instead of the original 500 PS (368 kW / 493 bhp).

Dodge Challenger SRT-8 by AAC Automotive

German car wrap firm CCG Automotive has given the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 a unique look as well as some serious tuning under the hood. Created as the company's demo model, the wrap job features a combination of flashy green and carbon-white colors with contrasting elements in black. LSD wing doors were also added and the front fenders were widened for the three-piece black painted Asanti wheels in sizes 9x22 and 10x22 inches with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Rollers in the dimensions 265/35R22 and 295/30R22. But it's not all about one extravagant wrap job. The company from Monschau also worked over the engine to increase power output from the standard 425hp (317 kW / 431 PS) and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque to 600hp (447 kW / 608 PS) and 470 lb-ft (638 Nm) of torque. This was accomplished by increasing displacement of the 6.1-liter HEMI-V8 engine to 7.0-liters via a stroker kit. a gas guzzler for sure, however, CCG has reeled in the econmy fact by installing a PRINS Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) system which includes two carburetors and a 120-liter tank. Pushed to the limit the Challenger easily exceeds 300 km/h (186 mph) but not before CCG upgraded the notoriously poor suspension with an adjustable KW coilover system. CCG also devoted attention to the interior by covering all cheap looking plastic surfaces, seats, dashboard and headliner with neatly stitched Alcantara and leather in anthracite/black. Red seams and edge piping provide a nice contrast. For tunes, the factory-installed MyGIG hard disk audio system with Radio, CD/DVD player and Touch screen as well as the SRT Option Package II with 13 Kicker SRT high-performance loudspeakers, a 322-watt Kicker SRT amplifier and a 200-watt Kicker SRT subwoofer provide top end sound quality.

Under the hood, the 2.8-liter V6 engine has been equipped with an optimized ECU and a K&N air filter. Thanks to these modifications, the mill develops 375 PS (276 kW / 370 hp) and 495 Nm (365 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 50 PS (37 kW / 49 hp) and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft). Performance specifications weren't released, but the standard model accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds.
