Romeo Ferraris 500 Abarth

Romeo Ferraris 500 Abarth

Well, I guess we know just how far out you can take Fiat’s modernized 500 mini car. And Italian tuner outfit by the name of Romeo Ferraris has made a track special version of the little guy that puts out 360 horsepower. Which, given the 500’s size and weight, has to be a hell [...]

The 2011 Ford Mustang Finally Gets Some Balls

The 2011 Ford Mustang Finally Gets Some Balls

With competitors out there like the excellent 2010 Chevy Camaro and Nissan 370Z, you’d think Ford would be as competitive as possible with the ultra-popular Mustang. The Chevy Camaro’s 3.6-liter V6 engine, for example, produces 304 horsepower, while the Nissan 370Z’s 3.7-liter V6 makes a very impressive 330 hp. The 2010 Ford Mustang’s 4.0-liter V6, [...]

ENCO Lamborghini LP 560-4 – A Carbon Fiber Powerhouse

ENCO Exclusive is a relatively unheard-of exotic car tuner, but the young German outfit just made one hell of an impression with their newest creation. The donor car – a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 – received a serious overhaul at the hands of ENCO, transforming it into an even more aggressive and powerful beast than [...]

Ford’s modern recreation of their GT40 racer from the 1960s might have finished its production run, but the tuners sure aren’t through with it. Geiger, a German tuning firm has given the race car for the road a once over. Not that there’s anything wrong with that … although I might take issue with their [...]

LOMA-Performance – Corvette C6.BlackforceOne

Uh-oh, the Euros are messing with our Corvettes. Seems there’s a tuning outfit in Germany (fancy that!) that goes by the name of LOMA-Performance, and they’ve taken a crack at that most American of cars (no, not the minivan), the Corvette, and made some improvements.
Right off the bat LOMA-Performance states: “The name of this vehicle [...]

Need for Speed: Shift Review

Need for Speed: Shift Review

The Need for Speed team has always put out great arcade-style racers for all main platforms, my favorite being Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2. After that game, they started NFS Underground which focuses on the late-night import-tuner Fast & the Furious type racing. This style continued for six more games. Popular games [...]

The New BMW 5 Series

The New BMW 5 Series

Drum roll please: The NEW BMW 5 Series for 2010. Ta-dah! I’ve noticed of late, that when it comes to German manufactures, it’s their mid range cars that get all the focus. Oh sure, they hold up the S-Class or the 7 Series or the A8 as the top of the line, and they are, [...]
