Car Tuning Case — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:13:32 +0000

WALD International has presented to us their new Black Bison Edition Styling for the BMW 7series. Actually, it is the first tuning program for a BMW vehicle that Wald has developed.

The Black Bison Edition Styling is renowned for the “aggressive” look merged in to the car models. This BMW 7series is no exception and, has you can see for yourself in the pictures, the aerodynamics kit comprised by the front bumper (with LED daytime running light), sidesteps, rear bumper (with LED brake light), roof spoiler, trunk spoiler and exhaust system/muffler cutter provide a sportier outer shell to this BMW model.

The installed rims are the WALD Renovatio R13 22 inch, which play along with the chromed details on the vehicle.

Fiat 500 by Hamann & H&R

It has been long since Dante Giacosa designed the first Fiat 500, powered by a little 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The new model was release in 2007 and since then it has attracted many tuners. Hamann is no exception, has they have shown us a tuning program for this model before.

This 2010 version, due to debut at the Essen Motorshow, in Germany, from November 27th to the 5th of December, Hamann upgraded the 1.4 liter engine power from 135HP to 275HP resorting to ECU tuning and a new exhaust system. In-order to keep the small stallion under control they timed up with suspension specialists H&R, which developed a lowering kit. A high performance brake system is also available for reassuring safety to this power boost.

In terms of aerodanamics the most noticeable enhancements are the front bumper unit, which includes 2 LED daytime running lights, side skirts and rear bumper unit with cut out for 4-tailpipe sport rear muffler.

The one thing that did not convince us is the decals; we would do well without them.

Check these and other details for this tuning program at Hamann’s website.

Volvo S60 by Heico Sportiv

We feel comfortable enough to say that the new Volvo S60, a luxury sedan, is one of the most attractive cars at the moment, and Heico Sportiv made it look even prettier. Heicos’s tuning program is centered on the aerodynamics, in which the updates that instantly caught our attention were the front spoiler, a PUR-RRIM rear skirt, the left and right double oval end-pipes of the quad exhaust system and the 18-20’’ sport wheels.

Thank you Volvo for bring some youth to your car models and thank you Heico for making them look sportier.

Bentley Flying Spur – WALD

Car Tuning Case — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:34:34 +0000

WALD’s Black Bison Edition is set on a new route, as claimed on their last press-release, going from a “real aggressive style” to a “real luxury, rich and adult design” for their new models.

Luxury is something you always expect for the custom Bentley model! WALD spiced up this automobile customizing the front bumper, sidesteps, rear bumper and trunk spoiler. The end result is a Bentley Flying Spur Black Bison Edition with a sportier twitch, we should say.

We are expecting some more details and images in the near future.

Car Tuning Case — Fri, 07 May 2010 11:16:25 +0000

Revealed at Geneva Motor Show on March 2010 ABT’s version of the Audi R8 Spyder as been customized in various aspects. First of, aerodynamically they used sight-carbon bringing some lust to the materials on front, rear and side skirts, and rear wing. One other major difference is the ABT front grille.

The wheel set is comprised by the Type BR20 9.0×20 offset 40 with tyres 245/30R20 for front axle and Type BR20 11×20 offset 45 with tyres 305/25R20 for rear axle.

Power Upgrade

This roadster is even fast than the ‘original’ version. It has got a faster pull away, more torque, more engine power and improved acceleration.
The 5.2-liter V10 is now producing 600 PS (441 kW / 591 hp), going from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. This power improvement led to new suspension springs for better handling.
