  • Liberty Walk and SR Auto Unite for Monstrous Dodge Challenger Hellcat

    Liberty Walk Dodge Challenger Hellcat Front and Side View Liberty Walk Dodge Challenger Hellcat. This is the answer to the question “What is common between United States, Canada and Japan?” You might also ask, what does Canada have to do with it. Well, this is actually the first Liberty Walk Hellcat unleashed in Vancouver by our fellows at SR Auto Group. In addition, they also added some extra detailing, that makes the muscle car look even more astonishing!

    Just take a look at the pictures below! I am already in love with this car, looking so menacing, purposeful and at the same time carrying something from the spirit of the legendary Challenger. I also adore the Liberty Walk kit, which seems that fits perfectly to the Dodge. And have you spotted the wheels?

    Balance Between Old and New

    Continuing to the details here, basically the tuners at SR Auto added the front and rear fender flares from Liberty Walk’s kit. After doing this, something still didn’t feel right. And it was the height of the car. Actually, no Liberty Walk car would be complete without bringing it straight to the ground. This has happened with the help of Airrex Air System, which literally dropped the Dodge to the pavement.

    At last, the experts added classy PUR LG01 wheels in gloss gold with polished step lip. They come in size of 20-inch at all four corners. And this is the element of the tuning which gives the car that good-old look we all love.

    It is always nice to see such great projects, isn’t it? Only one thing makes me very sad. SR Auto didn’t say how much the car costs, so that I could start sparing some money.

  • Kahn Reveals Stunning Firenze Red Range Rover Sport 400LE

After this first impression, the viewer becomes even more attracted to the car, because he or she sees that it is like no other car they have seen before.

They have equipped the ordinary Range Rover Sport with full exterior pack and have also entirely transformed the cabin. And this is how everything has happened.

  • Vorsteiner BMW M4 Gets EVO Aero Kit

    Vorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero Front ViewVorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero is the last one of the four Bavarians featured today. Next to the M4 Convertible, X6 and the 7-Series, this one will make the perfect cream of the joke. What is so special about it? Well, I like simplicity and the fact that it looks stylish enough. It has also has been revealed through several very good pictures, which you can view below.

    Not to mention that it is an M-Series, meaning that it has to offer 425hp coming from its twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine. The unit is connected to a paddle-shifted seven-speed automatic that drives the rear-wheels. Furthermore, the M4 is originally made with a lot of carbon fiber infused in it, including the driveshaft, so this makes it even more attractive.

    Vorsteiner’s EVO Aero Program

    Just like mbDESIGN’s M4 Convertible, this one comes out from the factory in Mineral White metallic exterior colour. So basically, this was the starting point of the tuners at Vorsteiner, who immediately decided to add an EVO Aero Program. Oh, and there are also some black graphic elements featured on the hood.

    Vorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero Wheels

    The aerodynamic enhancements comprise of aero front spoiler and Evo Deck Lid spoiler. The latter comes in contrasting black, and it is also good to mention that both parts have been made from lightweight carbon fiber.

  • G-Power BMW 760i Breaks Standards with 610HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Front ViewG-Power BMW 760i or in other words the next BMW featured on our site today. This time, knowing that G-Power is extremely capable in boosting performance, we will focus exactly on this. Or to say it like this, you will find out how the experts have managed to add 66 hp and 120 Nm to this 7-Series.

    Precisely, the V12 bi-turbo engine in the current 760i F01 is capable of boasting 544 hp (400 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) of torque. This is quite impressive, but when it comes to engine tuning, people always demand more.

    G-Power is Not Satisfied with Stocks 544HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Engine View

    As a result, the great looking BMW 760i received a Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module from G-Power. It has been installed between the factory ECU and its data bus input. In addition, the module starts working only when the driver demands full throttle.

    G-Power BMW 760i F01 adds 66HP.

    SEE ALSO: G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

    The result is stunning and it is 610 hp (513 kW) at 6,000rpm and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of maximum torque achieved at 2,600 rpm. If you wonder about the acceleration time, it is obvious that when you add more horsepower, you will also achieve much faster results. So, the 0-100 km/h sprint is now covered in just 4.3 seconds.

    However, these extra 66 hp literally demand additional sporting dimensions. First, the reliability and longevity of the V12 engine is kept intact via the built-in protection system of the module. How does it work? It does not allow the extra power to be used until the prescribed engine coolant temperature has been reached.

    More Power = Better Wheels

    G-Power BMW 760i Side View

    Next, to make it look even more monstrous and complement the additional output, the specialists at G-Power have also added 21-inch diameter HURRICANE RR forged alloys in Jet Black with a DIAMOND CUT finish. Then, they have fitted the new wheels with Michelin tires in the dimensions of 255/35ZR21 at the front and 295/30ZR21 at the rear.

    Much better than the original ones, right? So what do you think of this BMW?

  • mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible is Perfect For Hot Summer Days

    mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible front viewmbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible is not only perfect for the summer, because it is all about an open top experience, but it is also the first of the four BMWs that are going to be featured on AutomobilesReview today. Let me tell you about what you should expect: there is another M4, a 7-Series and a huge and aggressively looking X6. Well, there is also a Lambo and an Audi. But in general the day is mostly dedicated to the Bavarian car manufacturer.

    BMW M4 Convertible or any convertible is probably the best choice for the hot summer days (sorry Aussies, I know it’s winter there). But if you don’t have a convertible you can always count on the air-conditioning. Now we are going to bring our attention more on the first case and imagine that we are actually owning and driving a BMW M4 Convertible.

    Benefits of Driving an M4 … With Some Simple Additions

    mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible  Rear View

    The first thing that probably many would do is contacting a customizer, so that their car could look even more individual. And in case they are not into big changes, then they will contact companies which specialize in the details. For instance, such are the experts at mbDESIGN, who are able to recognise their customer’s individuality and to respond to their wishes.

    mbDESIGN have spectacular skills in making one-off alloys. And even more: this is perfectly visible via this M4 Convertible, which rides on 21-inch version of the VENTi-R Turbine Design. They come in gloss black and feature polished rim flange.

    In other words, they perfectly contrast the 431 hp Mineral White metallic exterior of the M4 Convertible, which has been also fitted with factory Shadow Line optics. Inside, the leather seats are also special and are more in color-harmony with the alloys.

    At the front we have 9×21-inch ET25 with a flush face, while the rear received 11×21-inch ET38 with deep dished centre. To make everything look perfect, mbDESIGN added 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21Continental Sport Contact 5P tyres.

    At last, we should say that there is this saying: “the bigger the wheels, the lower the right height”. So it is no surprise that the tuners decided to bring the vehicle closer to the ground with the help of 30 mm using H&R sport springs.

  • mcchip-dkr Mercedes-AMG GT S Likes Nothing Stocks

    mcchip-dkr Mercedes-AMG GT Front Viewmcchip-dkr Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S can speak only of supreme power. And I am not talking about the stock horses of these unique vehicles. If you are well know to the work of the experts at mcchip-dkr, then you should also know what they are capable of. And it is nothing less than stock, if you know what I mean. And all thanks to the highly developed chip tuning they develop specifically for every project.

    Strangely enough, mcchip-dkr thinks that AMG GT and AMG GT S are “underpowered”. Just to mention (and of course for a later comparison), the stock power of the GT variant is 462 HP (340 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of maximum torque, while its Vmax is positioned at 304 kmph (188 mph). If you wonder how much horses the GT S can push, there you go: 510 serial HP (375 kW) and 650 serial Newton meters. The top speed here is 310 kmph (192 mph).

    As you can see the capabilities of the AMG 4.0 liters V8 petrol engine equipped with bi-turbo charger are enormous. The question is therefore is whether such chip tuning is necessary. As it comes to power, especially regarding such iconic cars, the answer should be always positive.

    When “Stock” is NOT Enough

    mcchip-dkr Mercedes-AMG GT with uprated engine

    With the help of software, the fellows at mcchip-dkr have created significantly more force for these two jewels. And note that the impressive end result is only due to the modifications of the engine map.

    All right, after the uprating has been completed, these proud mcchip-dkr Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S can now show-off with same force. This means that the V8 in both can now produce up to 590 HP (434 kW) and 750 Nm (534 lb-ft) of optimum torque. The top speed was also enhanced to 320 kmph (198 mph). While the stock acceleration time for the GT S was rated at 3.8 seconds, after the power enhancement it has been reduced with 0.2 seconds to the staggering 3.6 seconds.

    Well, this is a nice thing to do to your GT S, isn’t it?

  • ABT Audi Q7 Exclusive in its Tiniest Details

    ABT Audi Q7 Front ViewABT Audi Q7 is coming hot from the tuner, since we have just received an e-mail with the news. So you will probably be among the first to read what it is about, and see it first in our picture gallery. The experts have also told us that although this is only an extensive visual package, they are currently developing a software engine uprating for the Q7.

    Basically, ABT Audi Q7 is a four-wheel-drive machine that is capable of conquering literally any terrain. It features so much as standard that it is almost impossible to grasp how anyone can make it better. Take as an instance the virtual cockpit. But when it comes to exterior styling, maybe the specialists at ABT have something to contribute with.

    As a result, they have created a “hardware’ exterior pack for the Audi Q7, making it more attractive, muscular and sportier.

    Tuning Details

    If you wonder what specifically ABT Sportsline has done here, well, they have added several new elements. The front received new skirt, while at the rear we prominently see a new ABT rear wing. The tail also got rear skirt set with a muffler system. Door strip attachments and fender inserts are also part of the package.

    SEE ALSO: ABT Volkswagen Touareg is Capable of 290HP

    Although the SUV is one of the biggest in its segment, people are always hungry for more, when it comes to personalization. For this reason, the team at ABT Sportsline has cleverly developed a wide-body kit. The result? The ABT Audi Q7 looks more like a giant on the motorway, than anything else. In details, this effect is achieved via ABT rear and front fender extensions.

    Wheels & Tires

    ABT Audi Q7 Rear View

    Such huge car must run on huge wheels, and there is no second thought on that, right? For this reason the tuner has developed an in-house made set of alloys with dynamic FR design measuring the impressive 22-inces. They have been then fitted with 305/30 R22 tires at all four corners.

    Engine Uprating?

    At the current moment there is nothing more to review here. This means that the engine powering the ABT Audi Q7 has kept its standard output. This makes us a little bit sad, because such a huge and masterful vehicle, especially equipped with the wide-body kit, must be more have more powerful nature (meaning the driving force). Nevertheless, there is no need to cry, because ABT is currently developing engine performance upgrades for this project. No details were announced, but they are surely coming soon. Stay tuned!
