    In fact, this is the third model that adopts the TNGA technology after Prius and C-HR. What this thing does is to define higher standards for the whole vehicle architecture. Or, in other words, it contributes to more comfortable ride and interior convenience, thanks to these fine-adjusted seat place, foot pedal positions and similar in-depth details.

    The new Auris is 40mm longer that its predecessor and also features longer wheelbase. The vehicle is also a bit lower and the cowl height is 40mm lower, which gives better and larger field of vision to the driver. And all this thanks to the TNGA thing. Of course, there measurements affect the exterior looks – the vehicle showcases sportier and more confident presence. And adding new features and design concepts, this guy really catches the eye.

  • Jeep Black Hawk Edition is finally here! And it is as astonishing as it sounds!

    2018 Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Black Hawk Edition It was first displayed as a prototype two years ago at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, but as it seems, Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Jet Black has finally made its global debut. First presented as “Wide Track S\”, the vehicle has caught everyone’s attention back in the day and also today.

    Also known as the “Black Hawk” edition, the Jeep Wrangler was personally designed by Afzal Kahn himself and his fellow team of designers and engineers. Using original parts and components from Jeep, the tuning studio has managed to deliver us innovative design, sexy looks and military-influenced endurance and appearance.

    2018 Chelsea Truck Company Jeep Wrangler Black Hawk Edition

    The main idea of the project was to maintain these well-known Jeep features, but at the same time to deliver something fresh and new – of course, it was achieved and now the renewed vehicle demonstrates tons of already known and new features: there are new and widened wheel arches at the front and rear that are mated to a refreshed front bumper and new grille design. Further changes include crosshair exhaust system, Iron Man bonnet and exclusive 1941 DC Black Alloy Wheels 7.5 x 17 wheels. Cool.

  • Wetterauer showcases a fine-tuned M4 machine. Check it out!

    2018 Wetterauer BMW M4Wetterauer and BMW have a lot in common. Throughout the course of time both brands have crossed paths and have presented us unique projects. And now we are eager to showcase the last one revealed: the WP620. The original M4, a favorite to the tuners since its launch, has undergone impressive visual and technical upgrades and demonstrate how there can be a rather impressive symbiosis between tuner and a stock machine.

    2018 Wetterauer BMW M4

    As far drivetrain system is what makes the entire M4 lineup stand out is the plenty of power (quite obviously) and the capability of making us feel just awesome in such a vehicle. The particular M4 that has undergone tuning surgery delivers a total of 431hp and 550Nm of torque. However, with the aid of Wetterauer team the sporty beauty has managed to expand its capabilities to a total of 620hp and 760Nm of torque. Massive, isn’t it? These number contribute to a rather fast and menacing sprint: the vehicle nails the 0-100km/h run in mere 3,6 seconds and chases a top speed of 330km/h. Also, further upgrades include exclusive Akrapovic titanium exhaust system and Wetteraurer high-performance gearbox software. Sweet.

    Of course, M4 vehicles are known for one more prominent thing: looks. And more precisely, sexy looks. However, it appears that the stock design is not appealing enough for Wetterauer team. What the team has done to enhance the looks of the lucky M4 is adding a fixed rear spoiler, covering the body in neat yellow/black body paint and adding neat (and large!) 20-inch OZ Ultraeggera rims. Sweet.
