Audi R8 V10 Spyder by B&B

B&B Automobiltechnik has launched a new upgrade program for the Audi R8 V10 Spyder. While last time they focused on the coupe, the latest aftermarket package takes care of the Spyder version. They installed a carbon air filter, custom racing exhaust system and remapped the electronic injection code fields to increase output to 628 HP (462 kW) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) compared to the standard 525 HP (386 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb·ft) of torque.

B&B is also offering a sport suspension kit lowering the R8 by 20mm/25mm (front/rear) while for more money clients can opt for an adjustable version. They can also tweak the R-Tronic gear shift which will lower shift times significantly, making the gearbox even faster than that found in the R8 GT. Thanks to all modifications, the R8 V10 Spyder by B&B can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds, making it 0.5 seconds quicker than stock version. The top speed has been increased from 316 km/h (196 mph) to 328 km/h (204 mph). Completing this tuning package are ceramic brakes and new sets of 19- and 20-inch alloys.

Mazda RX-8 Blacknight Coupe Project

A new aftermarket package for the Mazda RX-8 has been developed by a car enthusiast known as Shawnz. Although being a student on a tight budget, Shawnz saved up money and invested a lot of time in his dream car. Known as the "Blacknight Coupe", the project is based on a Mazda RX-8 that has received carbon fiber and fiber-reinforced plastic parts. A minimal amount of fiber glass was also used, while engine tuning and other tweaks were done in collaboration with Knight Sports from Japan.

In terms of design, it heavily draws its inspiration from Lamborghini models. It comes with black alloys featuring a four double-spoke design and orange brake calipers.

Dodge Challenger SRT-8 by Ultimate Auto

Ultimate Auto has prepared a wide body kit for the Dodge Challenger SRT-8. The Florida-based tuner has developed composite body panels and gave the side of the car an entirely new look. We notice huge vented fenders and a front bumper with restyled openings. The hood now has a clear Plexiglas window making the supercharger visible, while at the back it has a large center exit exhaust tip and a redesigned bumper.

The Challenger SRT-8 rides on a new set of massive 24x15-inch Savini wheels with a 12-inch lip and are finished in matte charcoal. These alloys are covered by Pirelli tires measuring 405/25 R24. For the exterior, Ultimate Auto chose a two-tone custom finish and installed hidden electric door handles.

Jotech Motorsports has unveiled a specially-modified Nissan GT-R that was built for a Brazilian customer. Equipped with the company's stage two package, the GT-R features an upgraded engine with new fuel injectors, iridium spark plugs and dual fuel pumps. There's also polished aluminum air intakes, K&N air filters and an HKS stainless steel exhaust system.

The model is also equipped with a Cobb Access Port that comes preloaded with special engine mapping software which enables the GT-R to run on petrol or E85. Thanks to these modifications, the model produces 550-570 WHP on 93 octane and 580-600 WHP on E85.

Despite the impressive performance, the kit is relatively affordable as Jotech only charges $10,250 (€7,750) which includes installation.

2012 Nissan GT-R by Vilner

Vilner has prepared a customized interior cabin for the 2012 Nissan GT-R. The program starts out with a "starry sky" headliner featuring LEDs and continues with the use of leather and Alcantara in black and crimson colors. Seats are black with red bands on the borders and come with red stitching for creating rhomboid forms.

The same technique was used by Vilner for the doors, ceiling, steering wheel and other panels. All plastic elements have received a black piano varnish look, while the rearview mirror is wrapped in Alcantara. The steering wheel also has a few elements in black piano varnish, along with the center console and door panels that have red bands. The owner of this 2012 Nissan GT-R also wanted an iPad with a stand for it.
