BMW M5 RACE EDITION HAMANN





Exterior An exterior of the car was introduced to the publicity in two colors (mat black and blue). The most radical change on the bodywork of M5 is its general broadening – so called Wide Body. A front bumper is connected with a mask (typical for the BMW cars). The bigger hole for an air intake to the cooler and smaller holes for disc brakes, are situated in the bottom part of the bumper. The broadening (wide body) is used to the off-take of a warmed air from front brakes and for the intake to the rear ones.

The rear bumper is redesigned to the whole shape of a BMW car. A diffuser (prevents air turbulences behind the car) is situated in a bottom part of the bumper. Four oval 76mm Duplex exhaust tips are installed at the side. There are sensors on both bumpers which help to park better. Also we can find decent but sporting spoiler on the trunk door. There is also a spoiler in the window which is optically extending the roof. Hamman also changed stock mirrors to the carbon ones with the blinkers. Also stock wheels replacement is one of the exterior changes. They are black alloy wheel discs with dimensions 9x21” in the front (255/30 tires) and 10,5x21” in the
rear (295/25 tires)





Interior
The interior is in the red-black style. There is a red colored carbon is used on the steering wheel, a center of the console and other parts.

The seats are coated with a quality leather (also in red and black). They are also heated and ventilated. Stock pedals was removed and replaced for the sporting Hamman pedals.

Performance tuning: The performance tuning: The 5 liters, 10 cylinders engine hidden under the red carbon cover was improved by the HM/M+60 sporting kit (a re-programming of the control unit, a removal of the limiter, an air filter, a catalyzer ). This has caused an increasing of the performance from 507hp to 537hp (347kW).

The modification of the heads of cylinder and the exhaust manifold has increased the performance to 567 hp (417kW). A maximum torque is about 533Nm and the top speed is 320kmph. That’s nice, isn’t it?

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG





A luxurious car that will push you back in your seat. It has got a powerful 6.3L V8 engine at 451 hp. The starting price for this model is around $100,000. That may seem like a lot of money for this type of engine, but you also get luxury, which is something that you do not get in many sports cars.
The Mercedes C63 AMG is made to go fast, hence the powerful engine. On a stock engine, you can hit 0 - 60MP in about 4.5 seconds and top out at 155 MPH. So when you are driving this beautiful peace of machinery on the street, you will know that you have a car that can compete with the sports cars that you always see on the street.
Now, you must remember that this is a sports car, which means that if you are looking for a nice commuter car, you may want to look at another car. The Mercedes comes stock with a V8 engine, which means that it sucks up a lot of gas. From tests, you are going to average about 12 miles in the city, then another 19 miles on the highway. The tank capacity on the C63 can hold up to 16.3 gallons, so if you do the math you are probably going to get about 250 miles on a tank of gas.
Do no forget however, since this is a sports car, you have the ability to get your C63 with a manual transmission, which is great for getting more gas mileage. Then, if you are looking to go fast, you should absolutely get a manual transmission, since you can control the RPM's, you will get the most power out of your car when you need it.
Now lets talk about the luxury of the car; because you have to remember, this is a Mercedes-Benz, and they are known for having very luxurious cars. You get a nice leather and chrome interior. When you first sit in the car, you will probably notice the comfortable racing bucket seats, that will just lock you into place. Then you have the wheel, which has many pre-programmed buttons to make your driving experience a safe one. This car is very luxurious, and once you sit in one of these you are going to be as most comfortable as you possibly can.

AC Schnitzer BMW Z4 M Coupe




There are BMW owners, and then there are seriously performance minded BMW owners. Those with an increased appreciation for speed and craftsmanship often choose to buy M-Series cars, a range known for their serious performance abilities. However, sometimes the BMW factory tuning simply isn't enough, and there are a select few who choose to venture even further into the realm of high-end custom tuning.

The 2007 AC Schnitzer BMW Z4 M Coupe is a serious car for those who simply don't feel the M-Series modifications go far enough. Since this is a tuning company, you can elect to purchase individual parts to your liking or buy the complete set for a full AC Schnitzer tuner vehicle.

First up, the aerodynamics package gives the car a much more serious, race-bred look. Carbon fiber front spoiler elements can be joined to the stock front bumper with aluminum supports, effectively creating the look of a new front bumper. A side skirt package and rear diffuser complete the ground effects, but there are also less obvious improvements available, including modified side grilles, a small roof wing, and a chrome front grille. Since we're talking about the coupe version, there's also a three-piece rear wing for those who want the entire AC Schnitzer aero package, and it's not available for the roadster (it has its own less extreme wing).

There are a plethora of parts available for increased performance. You can have a short shift kit installed for faster shifts, a high performance braking system, and there are also a few different options for exhaust tips and silencers. For the suspension, there are various springs and shocks that can be installed, a special sway bar set, and a "Racing" aluminum strut brace.

For a performance look on the inside, the interior can be fitted with AC Schnitzer racing seats, carbon fiber pedals with a matching dead pedal, a new shift knob and hand brake handle, and a carbon fiber and aluminum trim package. The aluminum bits come in a silver or black anodized finish. There is also a matching steering wheel that can be installed without losing airbag functionality. The look is finished off with AC Schnitzer embossed floor mats.

The whole package is completed with AC Schnitzer wheels. You can purchase Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type V styles in 17", 18", 19" and 20" versions. However, the official show car (called the Profile) was seen with 20" forged alloy AC Schnitzer Type V wheels, so it's safe to assume that customers looking for the "official" look from the press photos will opt for this style. They come in 9.0J x 20" for the front and 10.0J x 20" for the rear. The show car was featured with 235/30 ZR 20 tires for the front and 295/25 ZR 20 tires for the rear, but it's been suggested that customers opt for 245/30 ZR 20 and 285/25 ZR 20 sizes for properly balanced handling.

B&B Audi TTS Power Sportscoupe


Well-respected Audi tuner B&B is now offering a Stage-3 conversion for the new 2009 Audi TT, the 2009 B&B Audi TTS Power Sportscoupe, sold as a complete car and incorporating the company's top new sports car performance technologies. As a longtime Audi tuner, B&B has offered aftermarket options for Audi's full line, ranging from aero kits to turbochargers and exhaust systems.

Only more recently did B&B make the jump, like many German car tuners such as RUF and AC Schnitzer, and offer tuned sports cars in complete packages, ready to drive turnkey off the lot.

The styling is rather strange, though the TTS Power Sportscoupe is certainly eye-catching. Think of the offspring of the new Audi R8 supercar and a regular old Audi TT, and you should have an idea of what B&B is going for with the TTS Power Sportscoupe. In its own way, though B&B's TTS is quite eyecatching. Those not in the know might even mistake it for an Audi R8.

One shortcoming of Audi's award-winning TT line is a lack of serious horsepower and enthusiast driving dynamics. While the 2009 Audi TT is bold and beautiful, and certainly capable, you probably won't see too many on weekend track days.

B&B has addressed nearly every aspect of the Audi TT's performance in the TTS Power Sportscoupe, and with a sub-5 second 0-62 mph and a top speed of 174 mph, the culmination of B&B's skill as a German sports car tuner should appeal to any auto enthusiast.

B&B Audi TTS Power Sportscoupe up to 362hp

[B&B Press Release]

The Siegen-based Audi expert B&B perfects the actual version of the TT. Performance values, which normally are preserved by high class sports cars, can be reached in 3 different stages (306, 324 and 362 hp). The acceleration duration 0-100km/h is lowered to an enormous value of 4.6 seconds in the final stage - while maximum velocity level is on 280km/h. To reach these performance values, B&B mounts a special turbo loader, a sport exhaust system with a special pre exhaust system and a high performance sports catalyst as well as an electrical tuning, perfectly harmonizing with these components.

Additional to this, the air intake system and air cooling system gets prepared and replaced. To keep oil temperature on the right level, B&B offers a special slim-line oil cooling system, to meet the tuned engine's requirements perfectly.

To adjust the coupe's optics and "overtake-prestige" to the driving performance, B&B mounts an aerodynamic body kit in R8-style, which leads to sensations - perfect harmony of TTS' appearance and power.

B&B sport springs to lower the car's height by upto 40mm which also reduce its declination, are also available. A special Chassis, adjustable in height, pull and push stages, which allows higher turning speed is also orderable.

A delay to meet the risen driving, the B&B 8-stroke high quality breaking system can be ordered, that allows the TTS driver having a calming and safe feeling while driving. Exclusive Wheel sets in 19" and 20" finish the "Power-Audi's" appearance.
