  • Custom Kahn Land Rover Defender 110 Makes Impressive Debut

The beautiful Defender is dressed in stylish Corris Grey exterior color and features a lot of styling tweaks that capture the attention. Abundantly modified, this Land Rover is an example for a good improvement when it comes to tuning.

    Looking at it, my first thoughts are that I would definitely love to drive it. So let’s see what happened to this Defender that has made it so charming.

    Opulent Exterior

Starting with the front, the car received new bumper which has integrated daytime running lights and shadow chrome headlights. The face of the Defender is also characterized by color matched X-Lander front grille and in-house made lower sump guard as well as stainless steel bonnet with exposed bolt apertures.

    The cabin of the 110 Double Cab Pick Up received ‘some’ changes as well. In fact, I am always stunned by the exquisite work of the tuner when it comes to the interior. Here, both front seats have been substituted with Sports GTB ones trimmed in a soft mix of black leather and Alcantara.

    The steering wheel was changed with in-house made one. Below the waistline, the Defender received machined aluminium foot pedals. At last, rounding out this project is the Churchill time clock that has been incorporated into the dashboard.

  • BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition Individualized by TVW Car Design

    TVW Car Design BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition Front ViewBMW M4 DTM Champion Edition was released back in October last year. If you remember well, then you should also know that this car was released to pay tribute to the DTM Champion Marco Wittmann. The car was released in 23 units only, which number isn’t coincidental but inspired by the number 23 on Marco’s championship winning racecar.

    BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition is Tribute to Marco Wittmann

    With all of its fantastic additional elements, it is very hard for comprehension that someone could want extra equipment. Precisely, to make the perfect tribute car, the exterior shade is in Alpine White, which mimics the Ice Watch on Marco Wittmann’s BMW M4 DTM racecar.

    Just like on the racecar, the road coupe also received a bonnet, roof and boot lid finished in matt black and emblazoned with colourful stripes. There are also BMW kidney grilles outlined in orange as well as a decal set with lateral stripes, starting numbers, and flags and logos. Matt black 19-inch alloy wheels are also featured in the stock package.

    But this is not everything. Based on the M4 series, the vehicle also gets as standard M Performance collection components, including black front splitter, rocker blades, carbon-fibre front flaps, carbon-fibre door mirror caps and rear spoiler and diffuser inserts.

    Furthermore, the production model also has very impressive interior, which features carbon-fibre trim on dashboard, centre console and steering wheel. The dashboard also wears the lettering “DTM Champion Edition” and the sequential number of this Special Edition. The special sill plates, that show how exclusive this car is, also carry the signature of the 25-year-old DTM champion.

    TVW Car Design’s Work Adds More to This

    Obviously, the experts at TVW Car Design received a customer, who whished his or hers BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition to get even more distinctive appearance. Starting with the alloys, they have been substituted with BBS FI one-piece forged ones in 20-inch size. Of course, they were fitted with corresponding Michelin Pilot Super Sport UHP tires.

    The handling was also improved. The experts at TVW Car Design added KW’s Clubsport fully adjustable coil-over suspension as well as Akrapovic Evolution Line titanium exhaust system. The latter features carbon-fibre tail pipes, which are integrated into the carbon rear diffuser.

    Improved Power Output

    The stock output of this BMW is 431 hp (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft). M4’s 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six motor needed a little bit of boost achieved not only by the Akrapovic titanium exhaust system but also by the additional ECU increase. The result is impressive: 517 hp (380 kW and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft).

    Maybe all of the mentioned modifications won’t appeal to everyone, since this is already a substantially modified production vehicle. However, TVW Car Design’s interpretation of the DTM Champion Edition offers a little bit different meaning than the stock M4 Coupe.

    Under modification was the second generation M6, which will end up sportier and better looking. Read how this was achieved.

    Extensive Tuning by Hamann

    To complement the extensive tuning of BMW’s engine, Hamann has also developed a special Mirr6r kit. It adds a lot of details like the front apron and two front wings for example. The face of the BMW M6 also received a new carbon aero bonnet.

    The sides on the other hand are characterized by new skirts and multi-spoke ‘Anniversary Evo’ alloys. At the rear, we see broader rear wings, a central rear bezel, the rear apron and a three-part rear wing. At last, the exhaust proudly shows-off with silver end pipe bezels.

  • Toyota Fortuner is the New SUV in Company’s Line-up

    2015 Toyota Fortuner Front View 2015 Toyota Fortuner is the new offer by the Japanese brand for a seven-seat family SUV. It is actually the sixth SUV added to company’s line-up, which consists of RAV4, Kluger, FJ Cruiser, LandCruiser Prado and LandCruiser 200 Series. Toyota representatives say that the Fortuner is not only stylish, but also remarkably strong and features the option of a 4-wheel drive.

    The new family SUV has three distinctive grades: GX, GXL and Crusade. They are all powered by 2.8-litre direct-injection four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.

    Engine

    Toyota’s 2.8-litre diesel unit is absolutely new and is characterized by its efficiency, capability and performance. It uses highly efficient fuel-injection system and intake/exhaust ports.

Regarding the horsepower, the powertrain generates 177 hp (130kW).

    Furthermore, the unit is mated as a standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, but there is also the option of a six-speed manual. However, the manual’s peak torque is a little bit lower – 420Nm (310 lb-ft). GXL and Crusade grades get ‘intelligent’ technology for their six-speed manual gearbox. It helps in achieving smoother shifting by matching engine speed to transmission speed.

    When it comes to fuel consumption, the Fortuner shows number below 8 litres per 100km.

    What is Part-Time 4×4?

    2015 Toyota Fortuner Side View

    Furthermore, the Fortuner is equipped with a special suspension package. It was created to match the harsh road conditions of any terrain. In details, it includes double wishbones at the front and a five-link coil-spring configuration at the rear. In addition, the front and rear stabilizer bars keep under control the body roll.

    Goodies in Each Trim Level

    How about the equipment in each trim level? There are features included in all grades, like the standard reversing camera, seven airbags, hill-start assist control and an emergency stop signal. This also means that the SUV will be extremely reliable when it comes to occupant’s safety.

  • What Makes Klässen iD Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 So Stylish?

    Klässen iD Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4  Front ViewLamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 is one of the top cars out there and it is always nice to see when there are some custom projects involving its presence. Even the small changes are making an impression when it comes to stylish choices and good combinations. For this reason we decided to feature a project today that involves a slightly modified Lambo.

    So, this time the customization specialists are those at Klässen iD. As company’s representatives say, Klässen iD was founded by enthusiasts who dreamt of manufacturing innovative forged monoblock and multi-piece wheels. Having decades of experience, the experts have created one of the best wheel-designs out there. And this is clearly visible through this Lamborghini, which looks amazing.

    More Power?

    Klässen iD Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4  Upper View

    Since Klässen iD is a company which puts an emphasis mainly on wheels, the car did not receive any other changes, including the engine. This means that the 5.2 liter V10 keeps its production 610 horsepower (448 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque.

    The engine is linked to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system. Of course, this will still allow Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 to cover the 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint in 3.2 seconds, and the 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds, running after a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

  • There Are Significant Updates for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500… That We Fail to See

    2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71. Available fall of 2015.2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 features bolder looks, with more sculpted exterior, masculine presence that suggests dependability. The other new things are the available Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as the expanded use of the eight-speed transmissions. There is also additional safety technologies featured. And that’s it. It seems that the so called significant changes are not that significant after all.

    SEE ALSO: GM Keeps it Simple and Stylish: Chevy Silverado Gets Official Custom Edition

    Having in mind that Chevy’s pick-up trucks are on a roll this year with 32% higher sales for this year, this explains that why we are not going to see much changes in the model. Obviously the company is constantly trying to attract new buyers with minor updates to a good product. That’s not a bad thing though. But how much more could one get, given the fact that more goodies always mean more money?

    New Front End Design

    Well, this is disputable, since 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 looks like a Chevrolet Silverado 1500, if you know what I mean. But updates regarding the exterior are there: the ‘more muscular’ appearance which is emphasized via the new ‘bold horizontal elements, sculpted hoods and dramatic lighting’, which seems to reflect the strength of the full-size pick-up. Dramatic lightning… oh, come on!

    Other Changes

    Other changes are applied to the eight-speed automatic, which Chevy claims to be used more in the future Silverado. The company has also added an optional Chevy MyLink with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There are also additional safety technologies that haven’t been announced.

    Since there is so less to say about this pick-up, I can’t stand behind the words ‘significant changes’ as Chevrolet did. Of course, we will still wait for more data to come and enlighten us, how this vehicle will be actually made better. And please, don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that Silverado 1500 is a bad machine. I am just trying to figure out where these major updates are.

    Obviously, I have to wait until this fall, when the redesigned 2016 Silverado 1500 will make its official debut.
