Gallardo LP560-4 - Victory II Hamann


German tuner Hamann has a new package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 that rechristens the Lambo as the Victory II.

The most striking feature is, of course, the new wing doors which Hamann believes is essential for this Lambo.

The tuner also adds a new body kit which includes a front apron with a carbon center in Race-design, new front fender and fender extensions for the rear, side skirts, roof air inlet, rear diffuser and a new rear wing. Hamann also offers to apply a carbon layer to the bonnet.

A little engine tweaking is also part of the package with a modest power boost to 580 PS (427 kW / 572 bhp) and 575 Nm (424 lb-ft) of torque over the series' 560 PS (412 kW/ 552 bhp). The new top speed reached is 328 km/h (204 mph). The sound of the V10's growl is also deepened by the addition of a sport muffler.

The Victory II comes with 20-inch Edition Race rims in a unique varnish - with 9.5J x 20 rims in 235/30ZR20 tires at the front and 13J x 20's wrapped in 325/25ZR20's for the back.

For the interior, Hamann fits new sports seats with a carbon back and provides a 14-part carbon set including sport steering wheel, door openers and decorative trim blends.

Range Rover RS500 by Project Kahn


Project Kahn has unveiled a new styling and performance package for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

Dubbed the RS500, which is completely unrelated to the Ford Focus RS500, the package features a ten-piece body kit with new bumpers, revised side skirts, and a modified grille. Other goodies include a four-tailpipe sport exhaust system and 22-inch RSX alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin boasts aluminum pedals, a revised instrument cluster, and stainless steel door sills. Moreover, customers can order quilted leather upholstery, a sport steering wheel, and bespoke trim.

Under the hood, the 4.4-liter V8 diesel has been tuned by Cosworth to produce 500 hp (373 kW / 507 PS). While additional performance specifications weren't released, this represents an impressive 191 hp (142 kW / 194 PS) gain from the stock rating of 309 hp (230 kW / 313 PS).

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS by Carlsson


German Mercedes tuner Carlsson already has a package for the next generation Mercedes-Benz CLS even before the model goes on sale next month.

Starting things off is the aerodynamic kit which adds some new design touches to the new CLS courtesy of Carlsson chief designer Rolf Schlepp. The kit includes a new front spoiler and RS front spoiler lip, front apron inserts with LED fog lights, stainless-steel grille inserts and power domes for the bonnet. The kit also comes with mudguard inserts too and side moldings with air inlets. For the back, Carlsson fits a new rear apron with built-in diffuser and a rear spoiler. The exhaust system is upgraded with a stainless-steel rear silencer and double oval tailpipes.

The Merzig, Germany-based tuner also provides power upgrades for the CLS on both diesel and petrol engines.

For the CLS 350 CGI, output is dialed up to 333 PS (328 bhp / 245 kW) and 410 Nm (302 lb-ft) of torque from the series' 306 PS (302 bhp / 225 kW) and 370 Nm (273 lb-ft) which improves the 0 to 100 km/h sprint by 0.2 seconds to a time of 5.9 s.

On the CLS 350 CDI diesel, the upgrade is less modest thanks to the Carlsson C-Tronic Diesel Power control unit which achieves a 20 percent increase in power. Total output reaches 320 PS (316 bhp / 235 kW) with a maximum torque of 780 Nm (575 lb-ft) - up from the series' 265 PS (261 bhp / 195kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft).

Sprint time on the diesel is also 5.9 seconds for the 0 to 100 km/h run compared to the standard model's 6.2 s.

Carlsson also offers its own 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels in a unique design where single and double spokes alternate in a 10-spoke pattern.

Carlsson's C-Tronic Suspension lowers the CLS up to 30 mm on the standard Airmatic suspension.

Inside touches include an Alcantara sports steering wheel and brushed aluminum for the pedals and foot rest.

Amari Supercars, one of the largest pre-owned supercar dealers in the UK, has branched out into the tuning/lifestyle scene with Amari Design.

Almost compulsory these days for any self-respecting tuning firm of supercars, the Lamborghini Gallardo has been chosen as their first conversion. Dubbed the Invidia edition, the Gallardo features a restyled front bumper fascia, carbon fiber front lip, complete front fenders, quarter panels, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, carbon fiber diffuser, carbon fiber rear spoiler and stainless steel exhaust system.

The interior has also been made over with carbon fibre trim which is available in a range of different color weaves plus the carbon fiber racing seats trimmed in Alcantara.

Under the hood power output for the 5.0-liter V10 is increased from the standard 513 bhp (382 kW / 520 PS) up to a massive 740 bhp (552 kW / 750 PS). Although no details are given on the performance upgrade, Amari Design emphasizes that all engine tuning is performed in-house by their own Amari Service garage headed by master technician John Greatorex who Amari states is in the UK's top 5 supercar mechanics.

Development work is already underway for the first prototype and is expected to be launched end of April.
