Edo-Tuned Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution gets 840 HP

edo Ferrari XX Evolution

Miss out on your chance to pick up a Ferrari FXX? German tuning firm Edo Competition’s got your back. It may not be identical to the FXX, but it’s clearly what they’re going for in their latest iteration of the Enzo. Plus, I’m sure it’s cheaper than the $1.9 million FXX asking price, and you can drive it on the street!

So what Edo did was take a stock Ferrari Enzo at 660 horsepower, and bore out the cylinders from 6.0 to 6.3-liters (just like the FXX.) They added new camshafts, valve springs, connecting rods, and cylinder heads to the engine. New high-flow headers, catalytic converters, and mufflers were added on the exhaust side, and a new air intake system allows for better breathing. These changes allow the engine to produce 180 more horsepower than the stock Enzo, now up to 840 hp. The FXX “only” gets 800. Continue Reading…

Edo Competition Mercedes C63

Edo Competition Mercedes Benz C63

to hell with modesty…

Edo Competition’s tagline for their tuned Mercedes-Benz C63 sedan is fairly accurate. After finding that the stock 457 horsepower 6.3-liter V8 engine wasn’t enough, they set off to make an even more impressive beast. Continue Reading…

Edo Ferrari California Spider Gets 500hp

edo Ferrari California

The brand new Ferrari California has hardly had a chance to take a breath on Ferrari dealer’s lots, and German tuner Edo Competition has already taken one and given it the “edo treatment.”

The new California is Ferrari’s new entry-level car, if there is such a thing. The California’s front-mounted 4.3-liter V8 produces 460 horsepower - almost as much as its older brother, the F430.

Edo Competition took this car and added special 20- or 21-inch wheels with a variety of designs, and a lowered and sport-tuned suspension, custom tuned to each customer’s specifications. Edo can also re-tune the California’s ECU to produce 500hp, and along with a high-flow exhaust system (with adjustable butterfly valves,) is enough to propel the Edo Ferrari California from 0-62 mph in only 3.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 196 mph.

edo competition Modifies Porsche Cayenne GTS

Edo Competition Porsche Cayenne GTS

edo competition, the German outfit that’s tuned everything from Mini Coopers to Ferrari Enzos have created yet another “step above the rest,” just in case your regular Porsche Cayenne GTS wasn’t good enough.

edo competition (yes it’s supposed to be lower-case) has increased the output in the Cayenne GTS from “only” 405 horsepower to 450 by tuning the ECU, adding new high-flow catalytic converters, and a new air filter. Larger pads, rotors, and six-piston calipers help the SUV stop on a dime, while the highly adjustable suspension is tuned individually for each customer.

In typical edo style, the styling has changed significantly. The new aerodynamics package helps distinguish the body styling, which sits on top of the lightweight 22″ alloy wheels with custom-painted centers. Limited only by your imagination, the interior will be custom-created for each customer.

Styling is love it or hate it (as always with Porsche,) but the 0-60 run is over in a quick 6.2 seconds. Fast, but still outrun by the Infiniti FX50, and the FX50 is cheaper.

Edo Competition Lamborghini Murcièlago LP710 /2

Edo Competition Lamborghini Murcielago LP710 /2

Those crazy tuners out of Germany, edo competition, have modified yet another Lamborghini to insane proportions. This time, the victim was the Lamborghini Murcièlago. As if the newest Murcièlago LP640’s 631 horsepower wasn’t enough, edo has tuned it to 710 horsepower by adding new exhaust headers, a new exhaust tip, high-flow catalytic converters, new performance camshafts, new mufflers, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air filters. They’ve also tuned the ECU to deal with the increased power.

They’ve turned the Murcielago’s AWD setup into a rear wheel drive, which saves a total of 88 lbs, and improved handling. New 19″ alloy wheels, a rear wing, and a weird mascara-above-the-eyes paint job top off the exterior changes, while inside, they’ve added bare carbon fiber trim, a rear view camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

All of these modifications turn into some great performance numbers - top speed of 224 mph, 0-60 mph in about 3.2 seconds, and it can hit 124 mph in under 10 seconds. Not a bad investment if you’re tired of your boring old Murci’s dismal performance.

Edo Competition Tunes Enzo Ferrari

edo.jpg

Damn, I don’t know how, but they did it- Edo Competition has made the already insane Enzo even crazier.

Along with the visual package, which I don’t like, Edo has given the Enzo more horsepower, more torque, a higher top speed, and overall better performance, thanks to all of the performance upgrades. The engine is an all aluminum V12 behemoth, with Edo’s performance exhaust. Other performance goodies include a new high-flow catalytic converter, a performance muffler, a ram air intake system, better air filters and ECU recalibration. Put it all together and you get the following:

Horsepower is increased from 485 to a monster 700, and top speed is increased from 217 mph to 230. The 0-60 time is now under 3.5 seconds, since 3.5 is for a 0-62 mph, so 3.3 should be about right. A new light-weight clutch and new a transmission control unit provide the same shift times as the uber FXX. Special suspension and light weight wheels and tires complete this awesome package. Not too bad, in fact, this is actually very good. Greenpeace will be screaming bloody murder, but Ferrari has never cared about them before, so no reason to start now. Continue Reading…
