  • Black Bison is the Name Given to Lexus NX by Wald International

    Wald International Lexus NX Front ViewWe know Wald International for its famous Black Bison tunings, which are not only captivated but also covered in mystery. The reason for this is that the company is based in Japan and rarely releases any information in English or other more commonly known language. This of course isn’t a problem since the invention of the online translators, but it still keeps most of the details in secret because we usually get lost in the translation.

    Going further into details, the new release of the company involves a Lexus NX model and a Black Bison kit. The car looks stunning and maybe the reason for this is the minimal approach in the design. Precisely, the kit works together with the factory lines and this is what really makes me keen on it.

    At the front Wald added a new front lip and 15mm over fenders for the face. The rear stands out with new rear gate spoiler and rear skirt with LED brake lights. There is also an arrow head panel for the rear door as well as various alloy wheels options.

    Engine remains intact (unfortunately) and this means that the NX will be powered by one of the two standard powerplants: the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder which produces 235 hp (173kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque, or the hybrid 2.5-liter unit with 195 hp (143 kW). How would you rate this tuning from one to ten?

  • Wald International’s Sportsline Package is Ready to Adorn the Audi A5 Sportback

    Wald-Audi-A5-Sportback-Sportsline-THTUMBEarlier this year, Wald International released an aggressive body kit for the Audi A5 Sportback. The Japanese company prepared back then a “Black Bison” tuning kit, giving the S trimmed car a new look for the front air intakes. In addition to this, Wald International also supplied this Audi with a chin spoiler, side skirts and inserts for the front and rear fenders. We can not miss the wheels, nor the lowered suspension or the shadow-line black trim.

    But … this was only a preview. Until now, because the tuners has finally released the official and full tuning of the car. And it simply looks breathtaking!

    Let’s see what happened. Obviously, the exterior of this hatchback received a new front spoiler, the side skirts were refined and a rear bumper insert was added. If that’s not enough, Wald International has prepared for the capricious customers trunk-mounted spoiler stainless steel exhaust tips and exhaust system.

    And we definitely dig the design scheme of the exterior. As you can see it is based on three colors: aggressive red, black and white as a basis. The red and accents are featured on the rear skirts, side steps, front half spoiler and the trunk spoiler.

    Oh, just take a look at the multispoke red wheels fitted with low-profile tyres. The hood and roof is decided in black, so that the sporty appearance of the car can look more convincing. No changes or whatsoever have been made to the interior or engine. Because this is a Sportsback, best case scenario is that it is driven by the 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 engine boasting 329 hp (242 kW) at the least.

  • Wald International Shows First Image of Customized Bentley Continental GT

    Wald-International-Bentley-GT-THUMBWald International Bentley Continental GT Sports Line is the latest release delivered by the luxury tuning company based in Japan. Thanks to the image revealed we clearly see that they have supplied the Continental GT with aerodynamic kit. Although the customization company didn’t reveal any details about its program for this Bentley, the Sports Line package will clearly feature aggressive lower fascia with a front lip spoiler.

    In fact, the design of the car is one of the simplest we have ever seen coming out from Wald International. The new bodykit apparently will also include redesigned front bumper with a blacked out grille and LED daytime running lights.

    What is more, there are also revised side skirts which will include air intakes that are positioned ahead of the rear wheels. It is also seeable that the car rides on a set of attractive custom alloy wheels with multi-spoke design.

    As the information is scarce, there are no details around any changes in the engine. The Continental GT will probably stay true to its production figures. The car is originally powered by the 4.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which produces 528 horsepower (389 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque at 1,700 rpm. The powerplant is coupled with a close-ratio ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. All this makes it possible for the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds on its way to top speed of 308 km/h (191 mph).

    Additional details and images of the Wald International Bentley Continental GT Sports Line are expected to be released very soon. Stay tuned.

  • TEASER: Wald Black Bison Porsche Cayenne

    Wald-Black-Bison-Porsche-Cayenne-THUMBWald International has released two teaser images of their upcoming project called Wald Black Bison Porsche Cayenne. The vehicle is currently into development process and very scarce information has been released about it so far.

    However, we can judge from these to pictures that this project is distinctive and individual. Obviously, the Black Bison kit is going to include a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED’s, a vented hood, a vented fender flare and probably there are also going to be present a set of black side skirts.

    Wheel arch extensions with matching rocker panels should be also included next to a roof and tailgate spoilers, plus a rear diffuser and bumper package. What is more, we also expect to see a pair of exhaust finishers, lowered sports suspension, black door handles, and unique alloy wheels that are going to round-off the makeover package.

    2013 Porsche Cayenne made a debut last year offering its customers a powertrain that delivers 420 hp (309 kW). In addition, the new Cayenne comes with lowered chassis and improved driving dynamics.

    The power of this Porsche SUV comes from the V8 unit, coupled to an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission with integrated Auto Start Stop function. This combination enables the Cayenne to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 5.4 seconds and achieve a top-track-speed of 162 mph. The car also includes an active All-Wheel-Drive system.

  • TEASER: Wald International Audi A7 Sportback

    It hasn’t been revealed much information about the project, however judging from the photos we see that this Audi will be dressed in all black. Probably, there will be included also a front and rear bumper accompanied by side skirts.

    Obviously the A7 will receive new wheels and an exhaust system, which will feature quad-pipes. This means that the airflow has been improved thus we can expect that the car will generate more power.

    The standard Audi A7 most powerful engine is the 4.0 liter V8 one which can develop 414 hp (305 kW) on its way to a top speed of 250 km/h. The unit is mated with a seven-speed tiptronic transmission.
