Body kit for the McLaren MP4-12C from HAMANN

2012-04-28T05:29:42Z

The widebody version of the HAMANN McLaren MP4-12C consists of a front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights and a lip spoiler/splitter in carbon-fiber. This will generate the necessary down force need to the front axle. The hood is made from carbon fiber to decrease weight even though the engine is located in the rear of the car. New side skirts and side skirts attachments provide the optical broadening of the British Super car. A large-sized rear wing in typical HAMANN style also provides the necessary pressure to keep the tail planted. Among the tuner built rear apron are the three prominent exhaust pipes. After the tuning of the McLaren the new supercar needed a few other supercar upgrades. The wide wheel arches house 21-inch wheels with 225/30 ZR21 front tires and 355/25 ZR21 rear tires mounted showing their muscular volume.

The large front splitter, the upper and side wheel arch-forced ventilation, the resulting lateral long style ground effects skirts as well as the extended rear diffuser in conjunction with the large rear wing is not only racing appearance but also to establish the necessary aerodynamic balance and downforce. Who the "terrifies" looks from behind, and that might be a majority of mobile contemporaries, no doubt about what he really is: A unique member of the League of the fastest and most stunning supercars tuned by HAMANN. And if he can just hit man's heart beat, we venture to doubt. Also, the strong female sex feels more and more drawn to those tuned supercar.

The original is the supercar McLaren MP4-12C the British counterpart to Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche. The latest tuning project is the HAMANN stable, currently marvel at the Super Sports Car Show Top Marques Monaco 2012th What type of name we are to be believed, the vehicle is in memory of the late Richard Hamann in the last year has emerged.

A super sports cars

The McLaren MP4-12C promises razor-sharp handling and outstanding performance values. His design was, however, often criticized in the press as independent enough. One more reason that implements the tuner HAMANN from Laupheim Germany his thoughts on the British sports car into an appropriate body kit. In a synthesis of brand identity, race Heritage and avant-garde design features have been transformed into a real Eye Catcher the newcomer. He was helping patients to achieve the adequate performance, because he has in the league of mid-engined sports car with a word or talk.

It was quickly agreed to implement the idea. Be out of the MP4-12C has a car of the caliber of the McLaren F1 of 1995, which does not need to hide behind the relevant known devices of Italian origin. By reducing the concave surfaces, integration of F1 features and the adaptation of GT3-style elements, it created the "terrifies".

5ZIGEN SP Exhaust for Subaru Impreza STi Sedan

2012-04-15T00:57:26Z

I would like to introduce an Exhaust system from one of the top makers of tuner parts in the world: 5ZIGEN. The Subaru Impreza STi is one of the most well known Japanese cars in the world. With a few bolt on parts the STi can easily gain over 100 horsepower. Well the cat-back SP Exhaust from 5ZIGEN for the 2011 + Subaru Impreza WRX STI 4-Door sedan (GVB / GVF) is one cool looking part that also performs.

It looks so cool!! The exhaust was made for street legal use in Japan, Europe, and America. However, there is a possibility that your local state may have outlawed any aftermarket parts. But who cares because the 5ZIGEN exhaust for the Subaru STi is the real deal.

The equal length exhaust features dual mufflers. The sound or the dB measuring of the exhaust is only 80 dB at 4800 rpm making it pretty quiet. But this exhaust not only looks cool, one of the points that have been crafted to equal length muffler end. This 5ZIGEN exhaust system for the GVB/GVF Impreza STi is brand new so the price has not been published but you can bet it will cost $800-$1000 range. Horsepower increases should be a big boost.

Edo Competition Modified Porsche Panamera

2012-03-01T06:23:58Z

The German company Edo Competition has created a few versions of the Porsche Panamera in the past but this is the newest version is the top of the line $173k Porsche Panamera Turbo S. In stock form this 4-door supercar pushes 550 horsepower and 553-lb-ft. of torque from a turbocharged 4.8 liter V-8 engine. 0-60 MPH is gone is 3.5 seconds and the stock car can go 190 MPH. With the Edo Competition model, the first glance may appear that only exterior upgrades were done to this car. Instead there is a whole host of modifications including stuff done under the hood.

Edo Competition's engineers have decided to overhaul the 4.8 V-8 twin-turbo motor: which already is a very potent power plant. They have used a new crankshaft, new catalytic converter, larger turbos, air filters and new exhaust to increase power to 700 HP. Furthermore, the maximum torque has increased to 589 lb-ft. It stands to reason that causes an enhancement as achieved improved performance. Indeed, acceleration from 0 to 60 MPH fly’s by in 3.2 seconds while the top speed is now 211 MPH! Other figures provided by Edo Competition are the acceleration from 0 to 125 MPH is covered in 11.4 seconds, 2.1 seconds which is less than the Turbo S factory.

In addition to the tweaks to the engine and exhaust, the German company has not made any changes on the schemes of the suspension or brakes, which speaks volumes to the already perfect suspension on the Turbo S. The only thing notable is the installation of a coilover system that lets you change the ride height by up to 30 mm. The only cosmetic modification is the installation of a spectacular set of 22-inch wheels finished in carbon fiber. You can opt for the graphics but most owners like the clean simple look to hide the monstrous power.

Edo Competition has once again proved they are capable of extracting large amounts of power from engines that already are very well tuned from the factory. In fact; this preparation is focused exclusively on getting better performance, since there are no touches inside and just some new rims on the outside. The Panamera Turbo S from Edo may be the fastest 4-door car in the world!

Jum Lighting Tuned Nissan S15 Silvia

2012-02-26T01:21:30Z

The Jum Lighting Nissan Silvia was built to be a true dual purpose car. The owner wanted a car that would make a visual statement on the street, yet be able to kick butt on the track! The Nissan Silvia has never been an ordinary car since it's first release in early 1965 starting from the model CSP311. The story today will be of a more special S15, it's a unique one. Origins of the profile and dynamics are leading us to one of the Sports Cars Co. Ltd, Japan who's specialty is a design of Super GT racecar with the approach of aircraft engineers, and keep in mind, car is still road legal. Venturi sculpting front lip handles the most amount of air flow generating the highest down force among other tuned body parts, no wonder it is mounted directly to the chassis and is physically apart from the front bumper which has also been modified with a more flowing shape. Ultra light weight carbon fiber hood will also extract the heat from the engine bay with the help of louvers that do not affect aerodynamics. No air is allowed to move over the sides or under properly designed body not to create the unwanted lift, slats and carbon side skirts will prevent this. The most complex is the design of rear end. With the ultimate purpose to reduce the drag both widened rear fenders, bumper surfaces and rear wing act together channeling air from inside the wheel arches outward. The wing is coming from the Super GT racer design being bolted to the metal subframe assembled in the trunk, here comes the need to get an estate car to go for groceries.
Now moving straight to the heart of this one of a kind S15, factory ball-bearing turbocharger has been replaced to HKS GT2835 Pro based on ball-bearing Garrett units, boosting power to 430 BHP, of course in pair with high flow exhaust mainfold and complete Kakimoto titanium exhaust system. To handle the air flow Trust intercooler was connected with the hard piping. Stock head gasket has been replaced to Tomei 1.5 mm metal one. Fuel system was tuned with Tomei high-flow fuel pump and 740 cc injectors by Tomei as well. Flat torque curve has been achieved by putting in place Tomei 270 camshafts, delivering 398lb-ft at 5.800 rpm. High power is being delivered to rear wheels by Nismo 6-speed close ratio gearbox pairing with OS Giken twin plate clutch gearbox to handle the toque and get most performance. Limited slip differential by Nismo GT support reserve allows to handle even more power in future.

Body cowl of JUM S15 is not limited to full-fledged dress up on the street, which gave a valid function to circuit racing is aero parts. Detail of each part, has been determined based on the aerodynamic shape. This vehicle, there is also a weight to be a touring car, even a decent engine power were required to be designed to generate a large force to have been given. 　Taking advantage of the low vehicle height of last minute legislation is also one of the characteristics of the JUM S15, the front ground effect , and that enables the generation of downforce at night. Under front panel which is the source and its maximum occurs, accelerating the flow rate of air flowing through the venturi shape, has secured a large area in absolute amount. This part to respond to a large force, made up of GFRP material and dry carbon is fixed by the frame in high strength from the body. Front bumper and under the front and another piece, which is configured exactly the same as racing car. Chose the shape and the front under smooth for contrast, to reduce the air resistance. The bumper side outlets are provided for foil pull the air in the house.
Fuji Speedway has been a high-speed circuit, use the nerve may also speed corners of the throttle opening. The front bumper of the JUM S15 has been the home course here is the increase in front downforce, fitted with canard to smooth the flow of air to the rear body. The hood is provided with an outlet for releasing the heat of the radiator louvers, exhaust heat for a valid Notice also that the location and shape is different. And lift the tip of the bonnet is a fast flow rate, pull up the vehicle upward force is generated but rather, is also an item in order to minimize this effect. Aero dynamics of JUM S15 is also the body side is not without flaw. Side louvers were provided in order to enable the air emissions have been missing from the front tire and front under. On the outside of the side skirts in order to cut off the flow of air to the bottom of the body tries to Mogurikomo from the body side of the fence itself side mounted racing parts. Both carbon material is dry. The size of the opening of the front and rear wheel is slightly larger for the tire. Fine tuning of aerodynamics also given to the JUM S15, the air around the tire was disturbing is that I tried to reason out from within the wheel house, even a little.

Rear bumper and rear fender would have to the final processing of the air flowing through the body and body cowl, to shape using a nerve. Rear fender is it should not adversely affect the rear wing is the norm, and must be shaped rather increase the efficiency of the wing. In recent years, Silvia coupe style has become uncommon, the rear wing so shape roof air flows efficiently, rear fender was the smallish keep a distance from the wing as much as possible is up to fender top from tire top thickness of the appearance the difference is eliminated, and the styling was very close to the racing car. Surface of the rear bumper for almost becomes a drag, that anti-holes. For lower surface, but is provided to splitter diffuser to select the shape, for the bottom of the central part of the vehicle have not set the cowl body can not be expected to effect the original. However, we chose the bottom shape angled in order to optimize the flow of air has become loose.

A masterpiece it is the rear wing. In Japan, for the street and it has been called GT Racing Youth Wing in itself makes a clear distinction, chose to accommodate the engine power up further in the future, which is high downforce type. To mount on the upper surface of the trunk lid is dangerous for a combination of frames in the trunk, the wing stay there became so attached to mount the rear wing, was that the state will penetrate the trunk lid made of GFRP . Wing angle can be adjusted. Course is made of dry carbon. Each part, such as baroque shape has been developed, but the slogan "real" for traveling without any circuit, finished feel to the styling and functional beauty If you look finished.

Tuned Mitsubishi Evo 9 – Black on Black

2012-01-15T05:24:44Z

You can tell a lot about the redline of a car. The higher the RPM’s bounce off the Limiter, the more badass your car is…PLAIN AND SIMPLE!This black on black murdered out Evo 9 is tuned to put out more than 850 HP.

At 8k RPM more stock cars are done, and few turbocharged cars can even dream of reaching this level.

At 9k RPM the highest plateau the best from the immaculate Honda VTECH is reached

At 10k RPM only highly tuned cars can reach this level, just check YouTube

At 11k RPM only the turbocharged Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution from Extreme Tuners plays at this level!

Nothing about the exterior of this car tells you how monstrous this EVO is, a true sleeper (if we say sleeper an EVO!). How much horsepower? Over 850 HP! Incredibly fast and surprisingly direct, but don’t ask about the cost! The 4G63T is a stout engine racers the world over have proved the toughness of this gem from Mitsubishi. But it is heavy (the block is iron) and over the years has been redesigned yet the RPM Redline is relatively low from the factory.

Outside is a simple black Mitsubishi Evolution IX MR US-spec. Nothing special until you see the race slick tires mounted on a set of wide 18x9.5 inch sinister looking black rims. Behind the rims hides huge brake rotors 380mm front discs and 333mm discs rotors with six-piston D2 Racing calipers.

This brutal EVO is a daily driver! It rocks a full interior, stereo, all seats and A / C. The engine is strong and it feels like the power will never end. In fact; power just keeps building all the way to the 11k+ redline. But the trouble with such high a horsepower turbocharged motor is that everything begins and ends too quickly! The Achilles heel of all high horsepower Evo’s is the transmission. This evil Evo has a 5-speed dogbox, a Quaife differential and custom drive shafts from the monstrous Driveshaft Shop.

All the above mods are capable of handling up 1k horsepower. You can see the Hayabusa and Yamaha R1 turbo bikes lining up to take on this car. However this 9 second Evolution has passed through many stages to get to this level.

Evil Evolution IX SPECS

The engine has been completely fortified with better forged pistons and a complete head job to rock the 11k RPM’s! Custom forged aluminum connecting rods 164mm design-build Extreme Tuners for resistance to 14 horsepower. A custom crankshaft, forged billet 4340 Route 88mm Weight 10.8kg, and aftermarket studs pull the engine together. The valves are titanium from Extreme Tuners that are custom made. The cam gears are from HKS as well the timing belt. The Intake manifold is from Magnus Motorsports.

Fuel is handled by the Extreme Tuners with 2 pumps need to handle the huge horsepower requirements. The Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and Boomba racing 75mm throttle body are responsible for other duties. The Ignition is handled by HKS which also provides the 4 bar Map Sensor. There front mount intercooler kit is of course custom. Boost is regulated by a Tial 60mm wastegate. The Tial sports blow-off valve handle venting the pressure between shifts.

The turbo is a Custom Extreme Tuners T3 Frame with Winged import 72mm, A/R 0.76 on the intake side and 0.86 on the hot side of the turbo. The Custom manifold design was built by Extreme Tuners. Exhaust goes out a custom down pipe, through custom pipes, and exiting through a Greddy muffler. ECU Custom Management system with traction control functions and Flat Gear SHIFT along with ECU Remap from Extreme Tuners

The transmission is a Custom Extreme Tuners 3 disk kit to handle all the torque. There is also a Custom Extreme Tuners billet flywheel to transfer power to the gear box. The suspension is a set of fully adjustable Coilovers from KW Variant.

Gemballa McLaren MP4-12C GT3 Race Car

2011-11-10T23:44:59Z

Before we get to the Gemballa MP4-12C GT3 car lets first take a look at the base model supercar. In 2009 McLaren launched an all new supercar dubbed the MP4 -12C. Like the McLaren F1 from 15 years ago; the McLaren MP4-12C also benefits from the experience of Formula 1 racing that McLaren has had over the years. The MP4-12C is made almost entirely from light-weight carbon fiber. The monocoque chassis weighs only 75-pounds! This carbon fiber safety cell is the perfect the backbone for a high performance two-seater super sports car. The use of carbon fiber combines great stability, low weight, and high strength.

Powered by a Twin-Turbo V-8 Engine

McLaren developed a twin-turbo V-8 engine for the MP4-12C. Power output is 600 horsepower. It is clear that for the first time the engine is the heart of the McLaren MP4-12C. McLaren developed a 3.8-liter V-8 engine with a cylinder angle of 90 degrees; bring it through the twin turbochargers and variable valve timing to exactly 600 HP at 7,000 rpm and 442 lb-ft of torque. A dry-sump lubrication system ensures oil supply even under extreme load. In spite of the 8,500 rpm redline, just over 80 percent of peak torque available from 2,000 rpm thanks to the quick-spooling turbochargers.

The standard sprint from 0-60 MPH fly’s by in just 3.3 seconds. Top speed of the McLaren MP4-12C is 205 MPH! Power is transferred to from the V-8 mid-engine via an automated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with different running programs on the rear axle. An adaptive suspension replaces the conventional stabilizers. The gear changes made via steering wheel paddles.

The low weight of the McLaren MP4-12C, compact design, lightweight composite brake system, and ceramic brake system has been developed straight from the Formula 1 circuit. Light forged wheels that measure 19 inches at the front axle and 20 inch rear really set the McLaren’s exterior looks off! Everything from the exterior body parts to the air brake and huge brakes promises the new McLaren MP4-12C will have downright stunning braking performance.

McLaren MP4-12C Design

Much Formula 1 know-how has been put into the design of the MP4-12C. By moving parts around like the cooler into the back of the nose for example the McLaren MP4-12C has sufficient trunk space. The overall shape of the MP4, along with the completely flat underbody generates loads of down force and thus focuses on driving dynamics. The MP4-12C features bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights and a large air intake. On the flanks stand the large air intakes and the forward pivoting doors above the eye. The tail is again dominated by a large diffuser and the exhaust tailpipes and set up the hidden elements in cross-LED taillights. From the aerial perspective is the transparent engine cover a view of the engine room.

Tons of Features

The MP4-12C has tons of standard features you would expect to find in a supercar including: ABS, ESP, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, hill-hold function and a derivative of the Formula 1 assistance system called Brake Steer. On the inside there are two electrically adjustable bucket seats. A touch screen combines important elements of the navigation and the high-end sound system. The MP4-12C carries air conditioning, airbags, parking sensors, and numerous storage compartments behind the seats.

McLaren MP4-12C Competition

To compete in the hotly contested market for supercars; McLaren uses a combination of performance figures to compete with other supercars. Major competition comes from Bugatti, Pagani, and Koenigsegg. In order for the McLaren MP4-12C meets competitors like the Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche Turbo, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Aston Martin DB9 and the Bentley Continental GT.

GEMBALLA Racing McLaren MP4-12C GT3

Gemballa is the world most well-known and respected car manufacturer in Germany. In fact Gemballa just celebrated their 30-year anniversary.

Sascha Bert was named by as team manager for the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 racing team.
There is tremendous potential in the MP4-12C to compete in GT3. Together with a renowned race team that has already won everything you can imagine, and with exceptional drivers, we clearly want to take victory. Racing is in our blood says Bert. For 30 years, GEMBALLA is a term for maximum performance, reliability and uniqueness.

The McLaren MP4-12C GT3 offers this technology at its finest. As a wing-door with a huge rear wing, the car comes with 3.8 liter V8 twin turbo, carbon-security cell, a new front splitter, optimized air vents in the front and a large diffuser in the rear. The steering wheel with integrated display is an ode to the first formula racing cars.

The new "SE Gemballa racing" is an independent company under the direction of Marco Marquardt GEMBALLA Board and will attend exclusively to racing. For thirty years the name Gemballa has been a globally recognized concept for performance enhancement and modification of predominantly Porsche vehicles and building spectacular vehicles on the basis of their own body shells.

GEMBALLA has earned a reputation as one of the most extreme Porsche tuners and attracted worldwide attention through conversions such as the GEMBALLA Avalanche based on Porsche 911 or the GEMBALLA Mirage GT based on Porsche Carrera GT.

In the 2012 motorsport season with GEMBALLA Racing and two McLaren MP4-12C GT3 at the start.

Gemballa MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo

2011-10-10T07:14:10Z

Looking at the Gemballa MIG-U1 for the first time you may either say “wow” or “what the heck?” What is the kind of car? Clearly a super sports car in its uncompromising design, but what brand is that? Believe it or not this is a Modified Ferrari Enzo. The Ferrari Enzo cost over $600,000 brand new and was the pinnacle of Ferrari motoring for many years. So what to the super rich do with the most exotic supercar? They add a ton more expensive parts! The thundering sound of the mighty 700-hp 12-cylinder engine is directed through a specially tuned exhaust system that ends in a four-pipe system with pneumatic control valves. 0-60 times are 3.2 seconds and the Gemballa MIG-U1 has a top speed of 218 MPH.

There are only 25 limited edition Gemballa MIG-U1 cars making them super valuable and exotic. I was totally impressed by a completely revised aerodynamics concept. All components are manufactured from carbon fiber to ensure high stability at a lower weight. Thanks to the active aerodynamic concept the front spoiler lip generates an additional amount of 77 lbs of downforce depending on the angle. Similarly, the newly-mounted rear spoiler can generate 187 lbs more of downforce on the rear wheels. The GEMBALLA aerodynamics concept and parts are designed to guarantee perfect road holding and track handling manners although I sure the owners rarely drive the cars. The aerodynamic package consists of many new parts including a new front bumper with spoiler lip, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a rear spoiler.

New air intake ducts behind the doors and the roof help to increase the power output from 660 hp to 800. Leaning to the design of Formula 1 racing car, presented to the Gemballa MIG-U1 with the far-forward-facing front and the angular rear spoiler. By a whopping 80 millimeters at the front and 100 millimeters at the rear the MIG-U1 has grown in contrast to his basic model, the Enzo in the width.

The chassis combines art and street racing at the highest level. The specially equipped sport suspension can be tailored to the needs of the driver; especially if you want to a thrilling ride on the track or even a nice smooth ride to the Spa! The Gemballa MIG-U1 Enzo is equipped HSL-called electro-hydraulic height adjustment system that ensures contact-free driving allowing you to take a nice easy entrance into the garage. The nose can lift up to 45 millimeters without loss of the perfect handling.

The advanced alloy wheels were made from a solid aluminum block. Through a special forging process, the unsprung mass of a wheel has been reduced. Theses wheels carry the name Gemballa GTR Racing and have been proven to ensure maximum stability with minimum weight. At the front we find 10x19 inches rims with high performance tires in size 265/35. Out back the tires are sized 335/30 and fit on a 13x20 inch rim.

In the interior too, the MIG-U1 pilot clearly feels comfortable. Here Gemballa has managed the perfect blend between luxury and racing clear. On specially designed seats the MIG-U1 driver sits and the redesigned center console and other interior parts have been wrapped in the finest leather and Alcantara. Of course all the technical amenities such as a high-end multimedia system with seven-inch touch screen, navigation, DVD and iPod docking stations are standard.

Gemballa is impressive proof that they can tune any supercar, even the most rare and exotic in the world. The MIG-U1 represents their expertise and shows Gemballa is more than just a Porsche tuner. Prices for the Gemballa tuned Enzo go for around $1 million.
