For some reason, doing the tuning thing to a ride like the Volkswagen Golf R makes more sense to me than doing it to something like a huge Mercedes S Class or a Ferrari Anything. It kind of holds true to the tuner roots in a lot of ways. And making a kind of fast [...]
Although I’m more of a sports car guy than a sedan guy, on occasion I find the more practical and commodious rides appealing. I’ve always had a thing for Audi’s A8, for example. Although large, they look rather svelte and sleek, and that always goes a long way for me. And I especially liked the [...]
edo competition has always seemed to be a little bit different for a German tuning firm. The Ahlen-based outfit tunes something other than just German cars, for one thing. Take for example their latest project: Having a serious go at Aston Martin’s DBS.
Of course, like seemingly all German tuning firms, edo competition has to do [...]
German tuner GeigerCars just got their hands on the Ford Mustang GT500 – an already high-powered pony car ripe for tuning – and turned it into a real beast. Geiger opened up the hood and left almost nothing untouched.
Inside and around the massive 5.4-liter V8 powerhouse, GeigerCars added larger throttle valves, a modified injection system, [...]
So this thing doesn’t have a hood? Wow, that’s kind of a rat rod thing for a German tuning firm to do, don’t you think? Ah well, one way or the other, it’s going to be hard to argue with a BMW M3 coupe that has been squeezed up to (gulp) 600 horsepower. Anyway, the [...]
BMW made the X6, a crossover SUV like thing, and then they gave it the M (i.e. hot rod) treatment. So what would happen if a German tuning (i.e. hot rodding) firm were to give it even more stick? Say hello to the HAMANN TYCOON EVO M.
The short answer is 670 hp and a top [...]
Oh sweet, not just a breathed on Golf GTI, but the German tuning house (haus?) MTM has had a go at the Golf GTD diesel as well. Before I dive into the specific coolness of all this, let me just say (for the umpteenth time) that we should really have the Golf GTD over here. [...]
OK, the BMW M3 is a pretty damn impressive car, so why monkey with it? Give me one good reason, you might ask. OK, how about I give you 655 reasons? Because that’s the horsepower figure for the Manhart Racing tuned BMW M3 E92 Compressor. 655 HP! That’s a whole lot for a car that [...]
