Ventross Nissan GT-R R35 Skyline






Car tuning specialists Ventross, have released their Nissan GT-R R35 Skyline package using ideas from their parent company Vorsteiner. The tuners developed a new body kit, and in the front, large carbon fiber air intakes were added throughout to increase airflow to the radiators and brakes. A solid front lip was installed that gives the appearance of a lower than normal Nissan GT-R, and all parts included in the front fascia are made using Vorsteiner’s dry carbon fiber vacuum technology. This new technology allows their company to maximize the overall strength of the carbon fiber, while at the same time reducing the weight more than the average carbon fiber piece.

Replacing the stock rear lip, Ventross added their carbon fiber diffuser which consists of 3 fins and heat extraction air vents to cool the exhaust system. Vorsteiner’s dry carbon fiber vacuum technology is also used to manufacture these diffusers. Since there are going to be a limited number of Nissan GT-R models available, Ventross has elected to make these pieces on a case-by-case basis, meaning they won’t be mass produced. They want to ensure the best quality and fitment for their customers, so you will have to setup an appointment with them.

Branew Nissan GT-R







The Nissan GT-R is one of the most powerful street cars and that’s why most tuning companies only modify the car’s exterior look. I guess that 473-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine is enough for any speed addict. The guys from Branew, a japanese car tuning company revealed a special styling kit for the new Nissan GT-R. The new kit is made from an extension for the front spoiler, new side skirts, a rear wing, 23″ rims and an exhaust system that has a muffler tip made from 3 pipes. This styling package was revealed at SEMA and it turns an agressive street car into a racing car that could easily compete on any circuit.

Branew Nissan 370Z


Branew designed a lovely tuning package for Nissan GT-R and now they prepared a special tuning kit for the new Nissan 370Z. They revealed the new performance package for 370Z at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon a couple of days ago. At the exterior level Branew redesigned the car’s body kit with carbon fiber elements, a new front spoiler, side steps, rear spoiler and a rear wing. To finish the car’s unique look they installed a set of multispoke alloy wheels which will be offered in various sizes. The car tuner wanted to improve this car’s performances and they reprogrammed the 3.7L V6 engine’s control unit and installed a new sports exhaust system.

Branew also installed a high performance braking system and a new suspension kit which makes handling easier than ever.

Honda Fit F1545C





Honda Fit F1545C was modified and redesigned by specialists from Mugen. The car has a new 1.5L engine that could develop 150 HP. Almost everything from this car was modified. They installed new suspensions, new exhaust system and performance brakes. The car’s shape was modified by installing a new body kit, which makes the car more aerodynamic, and lowers it closer to the ground. All the modifications made at this car make it much more attractive and it seems that tuners from Mugen don’t make any difference between cars, as they’ve modified the Honda Type R and Honda Fit.

Vizualtech LeMans 2009 Dodge Challenger



Vizualtech is a Swedish company which creates stunning designs for cars rendered in 3d before they are built in real life. They could change the design at will before starting to modify a car and now they made a number of LeMans inspired 2009 Dodge Challenger designs. Challengers are usually modified as muscle cars and most tuning companies try to make it look dangerous but not like a race car. We don’t know if these designs are wind tested or if they would work well in a real race but they are amazing and different than any tuning kit for Dodge Challenger i’ve seen.

Vizualtech LeMans 2009 Dodge Challenger was “painted” with a number of FIA GT liveries and the final result is impressive!

SMS 570X Dodge Challenger





Even though it was announced in May last year, the SMS 570X Dodge Challenger has been unveiled over the last weekend. This Challenger has a SMS Red Butterfly induction hood, improved drivetrain, suspension, aerodynamics, new tires, wheels and interior. The car is based on the R/T platform and it’s equipped with a 5.7L Hemi engine with supercharger that delivers more than 700 HP. It’s price starts at $70,000 but customers could also choose the SMS 570 which is a bit slower for $60,000. These new models will start to be produced at the end of this month and each ride will be signed by Steve Saleen as a part of the Signature Series and will have unique badges and graphics.

The production of this special Dodge Challenger will be limited to a certain number each year and car enthusiasts could wait a lot until they can buy this ride. We don’t know if you could rent this car but you might be interesting in Car Hire Sanford or Cork Airport Car Hire.

Premier4509 Bentley Continental GT


Premier4509 has done it again! They created an extrodinary aerodynamic tuning kit for Bentley Continental GT. They will make 100 versions of this tuning kit and each of them will have a special identification number. The tuning kit is built manually from carbon fiber and glass fiber and it’s made from: front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoiler and wing extensions that add 4 inches to the car’s initial width.

The grill and exhaust system are also made by them to fit this great tuning kit. The rims are also nice and they come from PLV. Next year, the japanese tuning company has a lot other projects and they will creat exterior tuning kits for cars like Lamborghini, Aston Martin or Maserati.

Edo Competition Bentley Continental GT Speed





Some car tuners think that 610 HP is not enough for speed addicts and Edo Competition decided to improve the Bentley Continental GT Speed, a car that has 610 horses under the hood. Edo took the 6.0L W12 engine, added a stainless steel exhaust system and improved to car’s engine cooling unit to get a small power boost. The new high performance exhaust even features butterfly valves and the driver can decide when he wants to open up the valves to heard the sull sound of the W12 engine from a remote controller. Their engine could deliver 680 HP, 70HP more than the stock version and has a maximum torque of 649 lb-ft. Thanks to these performance improvements this Bentley could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds and it could reach a breathtaking top speed of 340 km/h.

Edo Competition also dropped the suspension with around 35 millimeters and they installed 20″ wheels hich can be custom painted equipped with Contact V-Max tires. Even though they improved the car’s performances the supersport car from Bentley still accelerates faster with a 0-100 time of just 3.7 seconds but their car can’t match Edo’s top speed.

Hamann Bentley Continental GT Speed Imperator








Imperator” makes you think at the head of state or a supreme commander and this might be the perfect name for the Bentley Continental GT Speed modified by Hamann, an exclusive luxury car with unique design. Hamann made a new body kit which consists of sixteen pieces like a new front bumper with LED daytime running lights, new side skirts, fender flares with vents, a new rear bumper with a small diffuser and a rear spoiler. Hamann installed 10.5×21″ wheels but customers could also get a set of even larger wheels sized 10.5×22″ on the front and 11×22″ on the rear side of the car. The car’s new design looks impressive and it would be the perfect vehicle for a head of state or Imperator. Under the hood the 6.0L W12 engine received a big power boost thanks to an upgrade at the car’s engine cooling unit with high flow catalytic converters, new pipes and mufflers.

The maximum torque was raised to 553 lb-ft and the 6.0L W12 engine could deliver 630 HP, while the Continental GT Speed version can be upgraded to 650 HP and 612 lb-ft torque. Thanks to a new control unit for the car’s air suspension, this modified Bentley Continental GT Speed could be lowered by 30 mm up front and 20 mm at the rear for more stability and a sportier look. Inside the car, the guys from Hamann added clear coated carbon fiber trim, a new sport steering wheel, aluminum pedals and other elements that will make anyone feel like a race car driver.

Arden Bentley Continental GTC





The German tuners Arden, usually specialize in tuning Jaguar and Range Rover cars, but this time they have constructed a unique piece for the Bentley Continental GTC. Choosing one of the most prestigious makes and models in the world, Arden decided to sculpt custom hood pieces and high quality wheels for the Bentley Continental GTC. The ‘bonnet mascot or radiator figure’ as Arden calls it, is simply a hood ornament for 980 euros! The piece is hand made from brass plated in chromium, then highly polished and only take 30 minutes to mount.

At the price of 980 euros it seems somewhat ridiculous for this small piece, but if you can afford a Bentley, why not make it extra unique. Arden also shows us their thin spoke polished chrome wheels, which would add a nice touch to any Continental GTC, however the price nor sizes have been released yet. There will be more to come from Arden!
