SR Auto Porsche Panamera GTS – Project Crimson Crusader

SR Auto Porsche Panamera GTS Crimson Crusader is another astonishing tuning from the fellows from SR Auto. This time the emblematic Porsche model is equipped with outstanding Davinci Red PUR Wheels.

Not only this high contrast between the crimson color and the white exterior is breathtaking, but it also aims to bring a bit of color back to the wheel industry. After the successful SR Auto Ferrari 458 Italia – Project Ice Blade, it was more than obvious that contrasts in color are much appreciated.

The platform for this second rendition is the unique Porsche Panamera GTS. The latter is powered by a 4.8 liter naturally-aspirated V8 which generates 430 hp (316 kW) at 6700RPM and 520 Nm (385 lb-ft) at 3500RPM.

The power is put on the road by 7-speed Porsche PDK gearbox through AWD system. Speaking about acceleration, this GTS runs from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds pursuing its top speed of 288 km/h (179 mph).

In terms of sizing and suspension, the tuners have also done some improvements. The car has been lowered, and that lead to the selection of an appropriate wheel size that would accommodate large wheel wells while maintaining a comfortable ride.

In particular, they have given this Panamera twenty two inch profile Modern Black Face, Davinci Red Lip PUR 4OUR DEPTH wheels paired with the Basics lowering system.

SR Auto Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder: Project Mastermind

Project Mastermind is the name of the latest work of the tuners from SR Auto Group, which is done not on a mere car but on a true Lamborghini. In addition, it is the convertible version of the Gallardo Spyder.

SR Auto Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 with 550 hp (405 kW) and 540Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. This means that it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.2 seconds on its way to the top speed of 319 km/h (198 mph).

Moreover, the soft-top of the Gallardo Spyder is designed for unlimited top-speed enjoyment both open and closed. With the aim to capture the glory of a cabriolet supersports car, the tuners have performed so well that they are enhancing the immaculate appearance of the Gallardo.

What they have done in particular is to equip it with a set of mesh wheels. Their choice was the Design 2WO by PUR Wheels. A great attention to detail has been paid to those wheels in a Modern Matte Black finish.

SR Auto Range Rover Shows the Range Of Details

SR Auto Range Rover is the next exquisite tuning that the fellows from SR Auto have prepared for us. They have done a unique tuning on the classy and stylish Range Rover.

Their leading motive was “simplicity”, which helped them focus on selecting a strong wheel design. And they surely did it!

The wheel design that met all of their criteria was the 3HREE DEPTH design from PUR Wheels. When SR Auto and PUR Wheels work hand in hand it is always a good sign of exciting upcoming tuning.

When one takes a look at the Rover for the first time, the spokes seem like standard straight edged design. However, when one gets closer he or she begins to notice all the fine and exquisite details.

Each side of the spoke is etched with a staggered weight saving groove. The wheels are in size 22 inches and perfectly complement the powerful stance of this SUV.

SR Auto Ford Mustang – the American Dream

SR Auto Ford Mustang just came out of the dark. Being a Ford Mustang, the car is firstly a true symbol of America’s contribution to the evolution of the automotive world.

The modification performed by SR Auto began with the wheels and suspension. To match Mustangs extraordinary power, they decided to equip the car with set of 18 inch wheels. Thanks to them, the tuners increased the profile of the tire to provide more traction.

Furthermore, they have also installed on this emblematic Ford model a set of H&R lowering springs to lower the Mustang’s center of gravity. This of course resulted in a more responsive and direct due to the drop handling.

In terms of performance, the tuners chose the simple Magnaflow catback exhaust system. In short, what basically this system did is to free up the airflow while giving this Mustang a nice growl.

In addition the throttle response was also improved via a sprint booster. This significantly increased the throttle response giving the person behind the wheel more control over the machine.

2012 SR Auto Infiniti FX35 Shows Extraordinary Stance

2012 SR Auto Infiniti FX35 is something we do not see in our everyday life. Extraordinary therefore is the most appropriate word to describe this very unique SUV.

This FX35 has a powerful output being equipped with 5.0 liter 32-valve DOHC V8 engine with VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift). Hence it is absolutely effortlessly for it to develop 390 hp (287 kW).

This vigorous engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox and includes Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). The FX is also equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, double-wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension and large 4-wheel disc brakes, along with available Continuous Damping Control (CDC®), Rear Active Steer, and Intelligent Brake Assist.

However, the tuners from SR Auto weren’t satisfied with these configurations and gave their best to enhance this Infiniti model! When it comes to lowering a vehicle, a coilover system is the best option available as one has the ability to control the height and dampening to the exact needs

BC Racing provided exactly what they were searching for. This means that they have adapted their BR series technology and developed a fully adjustable coilover system for the Infiniti FX35.

However unilke most coilover systems, nothing of the comfort of the FX35 was lost. Instead it was just adjusted. The effect was of course unmatched. This SR Auto Infiniti now has one-of-a-kind powerful stance never seen before.

In addition, the SR Auto Group added HRE 648R Wheels, which are twenty-two inch Satin Black Face Gloss Black Lips.

SR Auto Audi A6 Vossen CV7

Another exceptional car that SR Auto has just transformed is the famous Audi A6. This powerful A6 generates 245PS (180 kW) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft), thus being able to cover the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds.

An in order to make it even more aerodynamically inclined, the tuning team combined forces with Vossen wheels. The result is a great visual upgrade in the stance of this brand new Audi.

Vossen’s new CV7 model perfectly fitted the A6. The seven spoke wheel reaches from edge to edge create the perception of a larger diameter. In addition to this, these 20 inch wheels include a machined face paired with matte graphite windows.

This combination creates a balance of contrast between the wheels and the exterior, and sets the level of luxury higher than before.

SR Auto Range Rover with Agetro C100

This SR Auto Range Rover is a unique SUV which comes with a V8 diesel engine fitted with 8-speed transmission. Its 4.4 litre LR-TDV8 develops 313 hp and 700 Nm of torque. The performance is more than satisfying – 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds, 50-70mph in just 4.0 seconds and top speed of 130mph.

However, what makes it even more perfect is the customization made by SR Auto. In the opinion of the team, proportion is the comparative relation between things or magnitudes as to size. Hence, the proportion of the wheels is a direct reflection of the cars stature.

For that reason this Land Rover model was equipped with a set of 24 inch wheels. This Range Rover includes large chiseled lines crossing from the front to the back.

What this means is that the proportion of the large panels perfectly combine with the 24 inch Agetro C100′s. This results in an improved overall feeling of the strong and aggressive presence of the vehicle, doesn’t it?

SR Auto Ford Raptor – Unstoppable!

SR Auto Ford Raptor has no boundaries! This tuned Ford can withstand any driving condition, and it is literally unstoppable. SR Auto Group has made this Raptor triumph even more, equipping it with the necessary parts for this purpose.

Firstly, they improved the visibility of the vehicle during its long treks. In order to achieve this they have worked closely with Alumina Xenon company, which engineered a HID bi-xenon conversion system.

This kit they provided is with a straight plug and play system, which allowed the install to happen with complete ease. Next, the tuners paid attention to the performance part of this car.

They selected a short ram intake system made by AirAid, which includes an oil based filter and upgrades the power the vehicle generates. Moving towards the back end, a full stainless steel Magnaflow exhaust system was installed.

The exhaust includes immaculate welds with precise bends. This led to a side exit behind the rear wheel. In addition, the tips have a rolled angled edge to match the leading curve of the rear bumper. The result is that the exhaust now has a stunning deep tone which rises in pitch after 5000rpm.

Shades Of Grey Project: SR Auto Porsche Cayenne

A true instance of luxury and class is the emblematic Porsche Cayenne, isn’t it? This Porsche has the ability to generate 300 horsepower (221 kW) thanks to its 3.6 L V6 engine. A manual gearbox serves as the standard transmission system here featuring an eight-speed Tiptronic gearshift.

Nevertheless, this lucky unit got even prettier. Sporting a set of ADV 08 wheels, this SR Auto Porsche Cayenne includes a modern and timeless look. The mesh design has been around for so many years, and will continue to be one of the most timeless designs.

These special wheels were finished with a high gloss gunmetal tint, offsetting the metallic grey exterior. The astonishing look of this example is due to the shades of grey, which in addition contribute for the sleek profile we witness.

The Golden Renaissance Project: SR Auto Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV

SR Auto Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV: The Golden Renaissance Project is another breathtaking visual enhancement of the emblematic car that is worth mentioning. We have seen so many good transformations from the SR Auto, including many examples of the legendary cars of Lamborghini.

What we haven’t seen yet is how with little touch and imagination, the forefront of the LP670-4 SV is transformed. In the age of the rose gold wheel, PUR Wheels have taken the challenge of giving the supercar the majestic rose gold PUR 6IX.

Paired with the exquisite white exterior, this 661 horsepower beast can captivate anyone by its glorious sight.

SR Auto Come up with an Acura TL

SR-Auto-Acura-TL-medium This one is worth the attention. Not because SR Auto have outdone themselves with it or something like that but because we are talking about an Acura TL – a relatively rare aftermarket favorite. Yes, it is one of the best selling cars in the US as a model, but it is essentially an overpriced Honda.

So SR Auto bought one, and then had enough money to do just a black paint job and to add PUR 4OUR DEPTH 20-inch rims in a “Gunmetal” gray finish, complemented by a gray again touch on the edges. Add a “Shadow Black” grille and some badges… oh, and suspension-lowering springs from H&R and there you go. A plain job which is actually appealing to the eye. In essence, the TL is cool and sleek, and mean and even more so with those delicate touches.

The base stock Acura TL is front-wheel driven with a power of 280 hp that comes from a 3.5-liter V6 in the engine bay. A 3.7-liter version offers 305 hp. Either way, the SH-AWD layout would be much more appreciated for the sake of handling and safety even (280 hp to the front wheels is dangerous enough already).

SR Auto Joint Venture for the Lamborghini Murcielago

SR-Auto-Inspired-Autosport-Murcielago-medium Remember that carbon fibery goodness from Mansory we talked about a while back? Well, this… is not related at all. It is as matte black as charcoal so that’s something. Oh, and it’s a Lamborghini Murcielago – a bit outdated, a bit crude and essentially, a timeless icon.

For this one, SR Auto apparently needed some help so they turned to the fellow Canadian company Inspired Autosport. But for what exactly did they need help, remains undisclosed. Literally, the only two things out of the ordinary with this Murcielago is the paint job and the wheel set. And they are not even domestic – PUR 1NE monoblocks.

The end result? A 631 hp naturally aspirated V12 batmobile, cleverly disguised as a Lamborghini Murcielago that’s capable of a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just 3.3 seconds – stunning figures for it’s time and age. It’s power is transmitted to all fours through an Audi-ish AWD system and through a 6-speed manual/semi-automatic.
