  • dÄHLer Tuning Know-How: Perfect for the BMW X5 M and X6 M

    dÄHLer BMW X5 M Front and Side ViewDaehler is mainly known for its know-how in modifying BMW vehicles. This time under their expertise fell the X5 M (F85) and X6 M (F86) models, because they have one main thing in common: their potent M-TwinPower-Turbo-V8 engine. This powerplant has a standard output of 575 HP (423 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft). Therefore, DAEHLER were obliged to create a two step program which enhances car’s horsepower capabilities. And here are the details:

    Stage 1

    After the tuning included in the Stage 1, the BMWs equipped with the same engine, can produce up to 664 HP (488 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 to 5,000 rpm. Thanks to this power- improvement and the quick-response 8-speed M-sports automatic gearbox, the cars can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The top speed after this stage is 305 km/h (190 mph).

    Stage 2

    Stage 2 adds even more! It brings the power output levels up to 680 HP (500 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 860 Nm (635 lb-ft) at 3,200 to 4,600 rpm. The above-mentioned sprint happens even more rapidly – within 3.8 seconds, while the Vmax stays the same.

    Other Modifications

    But don’t think that this is the only thing done on these cars. Besides the uprating, dÄHLer decided to give the BMWs individualization programs. They contain high performance catalysts, stainless steel exhaust systems, adjustable in hardness and height high performance chassis, wheels of 22 or 23 inches and interior optimization. What more could one ask for?

  • G-Power Releases M6 Convertible Producing 740 hp and 975 Nm

    G-Power BMW M6 F12 Convertible Front and Side ViewG-Power BMW M6 F12 Convertible is the next project for the day presented by the talented tuners at G-Power. Just like the X5, the M6 Convertible received power uprating and brand new wheels. Oh, let’s not forget the new lightweight exhaust system. Another thing these cars share in common is that, they can be both ordered from G-Power online web shop. But let’s get into details.

    Bi-Tronik 2

    After the power enhancement, the M6 F12 can produce up to 740 hp (544 kW) and 975 Nm (720 kW) of torque. This is a substantial increase was achieved via remapping of the factory ECU with Bi-Tronik 2. Thanks to it, the amount of fuel and the ignition timing are changed regarding the increased boost level. Bi-Tronik 2 has another benefit too: it allows wishes of the customer to be literally written into the software and applied onto the engine.

    SEE ALSO: G-Power and the Brand New BMW X5 M F85

    But there are also some additional modifications to the M6’s hardware, which are required to help the ECU remapping achieve the 740 hp. First, it is important to minimize the performance debilitating backpressure of the standard exhaust system.

    G-Power BMW M6 F12 Convertible Graphics

    To make this happen, G-POWER installed a first step flow optimized Downpipes that are offered either completely without catalytic converts or 200-cell racing-catalysts. Thanks to this modification, called stage V2 of the Bi-Tronik, G-POWER achieved 700hp. The stage V3 of the tuning is actually the addition of a Titanium exhaust system. It includes Titanium 4-tip sport silencer and Titanium link pipes with resonators starting from the Downpipe and its function is not only the throaty sound, but also the 12 kg weight savings. By the way, the exhaust is offered with Titanium or Carbon Tailpipes with a diameter of 100 mm each.

    If you wonder about the top speed, it was increased too. It is now more than 300 km/h thanks to the G-Power V-MAX increase. Another important number is the 0-200 km/h acceleration time, which has been rated at 10.7 seconds, and we find that pretty impressive.

    Wheels & Tires

    At last, we should also say some words about the new HURRICANE RR wheels this BMW M6 received. They are sized at 21-inches and are fitted with 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tyres, front and rear respectively. They color is Jet Black, but they can be also specified in Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver.

  • G-Power and the Brand New BMW X5 M F85

    G-Power BMW X5 M F85 Front View G-Power has prepared for today two projects and we are starting with the BMW X5 M F85. It looks massive, features some exterior tweaks and more importantly substantial power output uprating. What is more, exactly this vehicle unit can be found on G-Power’s online shop, in case you like it that much.

    HURRICANE

    This is the name of tuning company’s new forged wheels generation, which is the lightest, strongest and most individual aluminum wheels production in the history of G-POWER. The alloys are made from ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium. They can be specified in Jet Black (just like the X5 here), Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver colors. They can be also combined with a polished surface Diamond Cut and adorned by individual signature of up to 15 characters. In the wheels line-up there is also a polished version of the HURRICANE RR.

    SEE ALSO: G-POWER Surprises with Custom 700+HP Mercedes-AMG S63

    BMW X5 is fitted with 23-inch wheels, from the RR specification. They have been fitted with low profiles sized at 315/25 R23, thus enhancing the steering precision and handling.

    ECU Choices?

    G-Power BMW X5 M F85 with Open Bonnet

    But more important in my opinion is the power update made to the engine. G-POWER ensured that there is up to 700 hp (514 kW) and 905 Nm (668 lb-ft) of torque. But the really interesting thing here is that this power uprating can be achieved either by the G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 performance module or the Bi-Tronik 2 bespoke remapping of the factory ECU. And the best part: both ways are advantageous!

    The second step after the power increase was to delete the serial top speed restriction. G-Power raised the top speed to a theoretical value that cannot be achieved in practice, thus making it possible for the X5 M F85 to reach a Vmax resonating to its new power output of 700 hp (514 kW).

    So… Are you ordering?

  • Rockstar Performance Garage Shows Custom Hyundai Tucson for SEMA

    Rockstar Performance Garage Hyundai Tucson Side View Sketch Rockstar Performance Garage or RPG in short is preparing a special Hyundai Tucson edition for the SEMA Show in November. The specialists are known for their know-how in the off-road field and this is the first time they are collaborating with Hyundai for a SEMA-related vehicle. The anticipation is strong and as we can see from the teaser sketch, the popular custom CUV promises to be epic!

    Exterior Reconstruction

    RPG says that the most important piece of their project is the suspension. For this reason, they have made the Tucson with six inches over stock height. This allowed for the addition of the massive, 32-inch MTZ P3 tires from Mickey Thompson. What is more, there are also entirely-custom, adjustable shocks and struts system from King Shocks. And if you ask about vehicle’s wheel wells, well, they have been reconstructed, thus creating space for the new setup.

    These additions also deliver performance boost to the Hyundai’s 1.6-liter “Gamma” four-cylinder engine. The 6-speed DCT transmission transmits the power onto the four wheels.

    In general, this RPG Tucson is finished in black and yellow livery, and also features smoked rear tail lights, a custom LED light bar setup from Bulldog LED Lighting, and custom off road bumpers.

    Interior

    Hyundai’s next-generation Blue Link system will also be featured in this Tucson. Moreover, the interior will also add Kicker Audio sound system, high output speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer and Scosche Integrated Stereo install kits. And by the way, if the RPG Tucson is ever stolen, Blue Link can assist authorities to quickly find and immobilize it.

  • 2016 Ford Focus RS Receives an Extra of 30HP to its 2.3-liter EcoBoost Engine

    2016 Ford Focus RS Side View2016 Ford Focus RS has one of the most wanted engines in the entire Ford range: this of the Mustang, called 2.3-liter EcoBoost. The unit was added to the range in February with an announcement that it will produce 320 PS (235 kW). However, things change into better direction and the motor company has announced that this number will be improved. That’s pretty exciting, isn’t it?

    EcoBoost 

    The grand news is that the EcoBoost in the 2016 Focus RS will produce 350 horsepower (257 kW), which is an addition of 30 hp. The torque is rated at 474 Nm (350 lb-ft). Even more, the manual-only hot hatch will debut with a trick feature called stall recovery. This means that there will be no need for drivers to manually restart the engine.

    SEE ALSO: The New Ford Focus RS Has the Mustang’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost Engine

    And if you wonder why this output is achievable, it is due to its all-new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger with a larger compressor wheel. It offers more airflow and power throughout the rev range. Precisely, the peak turbocharger boost is 23.2 psi.

    2016 Ford Focus RS Front View

    In addition, the engineers ensured that there is more space up front. This allowed them to deploy a larger radiator than the usually used in the Focus, thus enhancing the cooling of the car. Furthermore, RS engineers also tuned the engine to deliver its horsepower up to a free-spinning 6,800 rpm. And this is probably one of the biggest surprises about this car.

    New Golden Age for Ford Performance

    2016 Ford Focus RS is one of the cars that are featured in the new golden age of Ford Performance. There are plans for more than 12 high-performance that are going to be introduced in the next 5 years. Another interesting fact is that the Focus RS is the 30th car to wear the praised RS badge. We are expecting the production of the 2016 Focus RS with 2.3-liter EcoBoost to begin later this year.

  • Cadillac ATS, CTS and Escalade Get New 3.6-liter V6 Engine

    2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe Cadillac ATS, CTS and Escalade are going to get as a standard additional dynamic driving performance to its range of features. At the moment is the start of the 2016 model year production and this means more benefits for these Cadillac models in terms of fuel-saving technologies. Precisely, they include Active Fuel Management and Automatic Stop/Start technologies and 8-speed transmission. They not only lift the fuel economy ratings, but also minimize the CO2 emissions, something regarded very important nowadays.

    3.6-liter V6 Engine

    2016 Cadillac CTS Sedan

    This is Cadillac’s absolutely new six-cylinder engine. Thanks to its Active Fuel Management or cylinder deactivation, it can switch from six-cylinder to four-cylinder operation. Meanwhile it still maintains excellent performance. The unit will be offered for the engine range of the aforementioned models.

    SEE ALSO: Cadillac Debuts ATS-L Luxury Sport Sedan Next Week 

    Furthermore, the V8 in the luxury SUV will shift to four-cylinder operation and so will do the high performance CTS-V sedan.

    The ATS and the CTS can be also equipped with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. For the 2016 model year, this engine will also get the Automatic Start/Stop, or AutoStop, technology. How do there systems work: the reduce emissions and fuel consumption by automatically turning off the engine when the car is stationary. After the brake is released, the engine quickly and automatically resumes.

    2016 Cadillac Escalade

    As a result, the new Cadillac ATS, CTS and Escalade owners will deliver cleaner and more fuel-efficient perspectives of driving. And by the way, the CO2 output has been reduced up to 6 percent on the ATS and CTS, which is pretty impressive. Maybe Volkswagen can learn something from that.

  • Cadillac Debuts ATS-L Luxury Sport Sedan Next Week

    Cadillac ATS-L Luxury Sport Sedan Side ViewCadillac ATS-L Luxury Sport Sedan is going to be launched in China next week. The company highlights its three key features: the new 8-speed automatic transmission and start/stop system, the OnStar 4G LTE and the on-board Wi-Fi, and the compatibility with iOS-based Apple CarPlay.

    Since it was revealed, the ATS-L has been praised for its excellent performance features. On first place is the 2.0L turbo SIDI engine, which has been selected as one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines. In addition, its performance oriented additions include sport-tuned rear-wheel drive, a Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) suspension and Brembo high-performance brakes. They all come as a standard across its full lineup.

    Furthermore, the eight-speed automatic transmission and the start/stop function, make the model with better shifting responses as well as fuel efficiency.

    Cadillac ATS-L Luxury Sport Sedan Interior

    But two of the most exclusive features here, which haven’t been added so far is the OnStar 4G LTE technology and on-board Car-Fi. They are included for the first time in a luxury sedan and allow users to connect to seven mobile devices within 700 square meters of the ATS-L. As a matter of fact, the system is 10 times faster than 3G technology as well as stable and safe.

    Thanks to its array of new features, Cadillac ATS-L is definitely going to make a very strong impression to the new customers in China. But as we can assume, given the addition of connectivity features, the main goal of the company is obviously to attract younger car buyers.

  • Blood Type Racing Reveals First Sketch of SEMA-Built Veloster Turbo

    Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec SketchBlood Type Racing is known for their one-off Hyundai SEMA-built vehicles. As the auto event is coming near, we are to see more and more exciting projects. So, here it is the Blood Type Racing Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec’s first sketch. The car is under preparation for this year’s SEMA show and as we can see from the image it has this sinister look and tough presence.

    Sinister Appearance for the Exterior

    It seems that this Veloster has switched over to the dark side, just in time for the next Star Wars series. So, let’s get into details with this car’s demanding look. First thing to mention is the amount of carbon fiber. The evil appearance of the car began with a “Carbon Black” paint job, accented with a red racing stripe running from the front splitter up onto the hood.

    SEE ALSO: BTR Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Preparation for SEMA Show

    In addition, there is also a carbon fiber wide-body kit that is accompanied by front-mounted aero canards, front splitter and a rear deck spoiler. The trio also provides better down force at speed. Red accents on the custom SSR three-piece wheels, along with red projector “demon eye” headlamps are what make the car look that demonic.

    Under the hood of the car is the 1.6-liter “Gamma” four-cylinder. To make the car more harmonious with its exterior, BTR added to the engine new cylinder sleeves, a high-boost turbocharger from Garrett, and custom connecting rods and pistons. Using an ECU, the tuners managed to achieve more than 500 horsepower!

    Exclusive Cabin

    How about the interior? There are no sketches showing the work inside, however, BTR is saying that they have stripped it down and given it full, race-spec treatment with the addition of a four-point roll cage. They have also added Sabelt bucket seats, harnesses and steering wheel, along with audio upgrades from Rockford Fosgate and Tanabe OLED Revel gauges.

    If you want to follow Hyundai and BTR at the SEMA show, just make sure you search for the #HyundaiSEMA on Twitter. The car will be revealed on November 3 at SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
