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!

RDX RACEDESIGN Audi A8 D2



The new Audi A8 is a perfect blend of luxury, performance, amenities and style, and it’s one of our favorite full-size luxury sedans. A lot of luxury limusines don’t look like race cars and that’s why the car tuning company RDX Racedesign wanted to create a sport kit for the Audi A8 D2. The tuning kit is made from new front and rear spoilers and new side skirts that make this car look lower, wider and more aggressive. Potential buyers could choose to install only parts from this aerodynamic body kit and it won’t cost them too much. Still, Audi A8 is a really expensive car and it definetely needs a great insurance policy if you want to stay out of trouble. You could find cheap auto insurance packages for it if you want to drive with style and with less worries.

Project Kahn Audi R8

We can’t find enough words to describe the latest car modified by Project Kahn. The Audi R8 is a superb car but this improved version is an art form.

Project Kahn says on it’s website that the engine is very good and it won’t need any performance tuning. There haven’t revealed more details about this car but we found a great teaser pic with it.
