From Quattroporte To Cinqueporte By StudioM And StudioTorino

What would you do if you were an Arab sheik with literally unlimited funds and also a car fanatic ? Well, in a specific case, a Middle Eastern sheik ordered a custom estate wagon version of Maserati Quattroporte. The result is called Cinqueporte and it’s modified by StudioTorino and StudioM, for an unknown definitely not low price. This client has also ordered a few custom estate wagon Ferraris and the reason we say it didn’t go cheap is that he wants luxury and a StudioM’s previous project only for the interior of Maserati Quattroporte went to a whopping €350,000.

Audi R8 Receives Special Attention from ABT

ABT Sportsline is a tuning and motor racing company but today we will talk about the tuning part. For many years ABT reworked Audi’s cars and others related with Audi.

If you are a fan of the R8, if you imagined what would be like to modify it yourself, you don’t have to think for long, because the German tuner made an incredible job redesigning the R8. New skirts and rear spoiler, both made of carbon-fiber, front and rear clips replaced, new angle of the front openings, new rear bumper, smaller vents and the diagonal exhaust is cream of crop for the ABT R8.

All these new features deserve a special tint so the tuned Audi R8 received a custom-made black color along with red shades. I have nothing more to say because the gallery below should speak for itself.

Hamann Introduces BMW X5 Flash

For both versions you will get a “powerful” exhaust which creates a sound beautiful enough to impress any audience.

The interior received special treatment, too - black-mat flooring, aluminum pedals and carbon fiber.

It’s a perfect car for tuning fans, it’s not extreme but very simple and has all it needs.

Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT Tuning

We have found a state of the art tuning version Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT. We have no comment, just take a look at the pictures to see a well done tuning.

Gemballa’s Latest Upgrade To Porsce’s 911 Turbo: Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R

The Porsche 911 Turbo has been modified for years, because it is one of the best supercars in the world and it has a very attractive and modern design, which has the Porsche’s touch. The Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R is the latest upgrade for the 911 Turbo. This is the new product of Gemballa.

Gemballa installed a new air intake sistem which is splited into three parts. The stability and the downforce had been improved by a new vented hood which directs the oxygen over the car. The look of the car had been also improved with GT headlights and a dual-wing spoiler. The Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R features 19-inch alloy wheels covered with Yokohama AVS Sport tires. The back of the car had also been modified to make way for four exhaust tips. The 911 Turbo engine has been replaced with a bigger one of 3.8L and replaced the standard blowdryers with a pair of Garret T035 turbos. The Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R now produces 850HP and 690 ft-lbs of torque. By including adjustable springs and three-position anti-roll bars they’ve upgraded the handling.

We hope that the Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R won’t be the last upgraded version of the Porsche 911 Turbo, because this kind of supercar will always enchant our eyes.

Many people are very good designers and come with great ideas, the latest creation comes from Idries Omar. He brought his talent upon the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO and come up with his own project. This super car it’s supposed to be the F250 Concept and the most likely it will get a mid-mounted 2.5-liter V6 engine which runs on biofuel.

We are very excited regarding the concept and we are sure that the sports car will attract many fans and if it works with biofuel it’s for the better.

Extreme Tuning of BMW 645i Modified Convertible

Two designers of the Alpine USA team remodeled a BMW 6 Convertible and they named it Dark Sinister Six. For the engine they have chosen a 4.8-liter V8 which produces 367 HP and it accelerates the car from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. They worked very hard on designing both the exterior and the interior.

As you can see their work on restyling this car was not in vain.The 5-spoke black-colored rims were designed by the hot-rod manufacturer Boyd Coddington and have a width of 10-inches to 13-inches. The rims are dressed with Falken ZiEX S/TZ tires and the 360mm vented brake discs were produced by Brembo.

It’s a very interesting concept from the guys at Alpine and they managed to draw and built a very cool and attractive car. We hope that they will come and give shape to many other cars.
