However, American tuner Perrin Performance hasn’t forgotten about the potential of one of the world’s most popular modified engines, Subaru’s turbo boxer, and has developed an exclusive new kit for the top end WRX STI. The goal of engineers was to develop an entire range of performance and handling mods, from the... Full article...

Demand for the car worldwide has surged, no doubt spurred on with the help of the car’s starring role as KITT in the new Knight Rider series, so this time 175 cars will be headed outside of the U.S. Like the current 40th anniversary limited edition, the 2009 Shelby GT500KR will feature the same 540hp 5.4L...

We've shuddered at the lion's roar announcing March's arrival, and now we can almost taste the minted rack of lamb served up upon its departure. Out of all the months of the year, March leaves the worst first impression. But if you give it a few weeks -- and try the green suds halfway through -- things will be looking up before you know it. The 2009 Pontiac Vibe is the March of new cars. Without the hangover on the 18th. My first impression of the... Full article...

British auto tuning company, Avro Motor Cars, is planning to make a new legend, Avro 720 Mirage. Only ten of these unique cars will be made. The designers put 720 horsepower in this car as well as 220 mph top-speed and 627 pound-feet torque. Accufab provides a throttle body, an inlet sleeve and an x-pipe exhaust system. An enormous supercharger is made by Whipple. Avro has orange color with black details. Its front and rear track is wider than... Full article...

It seems that the Korean car company has already sent Universal a bright red Genesis Coupe SE powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This news lends some credence to our opinion that the turbo mill will likely be the tuner's choice, though the big six cylinder is likely to be... Full article...

The Telegraph is a major British newspaper and it's just published a list of what it deems the 100 most beautiful cars of all time. No matter what country you visit, regional automotive journalists seem to have some degree of bias toward the local brands. British publications, although they often feature outstanding writing, seem to be particularly egregious in this area. I personally have always had a soft spot in my heart for old British sports cars, particularly the Triumph TR6 and the Austin-Healy... Full article...

The new cars will be based around a single platform, in line with Ford’s new strategy of global platform sharing, and will eventually spawn the next-generation Mustang and Falcon models current version pictured as well as new sedans for both Ford North America and Lincoln. Despite Australia’s expertise in RWD... Full article...

We brought you another shattered GT-R in Hong Kong in early January, and a GT-R fender bender a few days later in Shibuya Tokyo. An Autoblog tipster just sent us a link to yet another bashed-up GT-R in Malaysia. As a purely objective observation, the latest incident does a decent job of demonstrating the integrity of the Nissan GT-R's safety cage. Too bad it's at the expense... Full article...

Although based on the humble entry-level sedan, the new styling kit adds a GT wing that could rival the unit found on a DTM race car as well as an equally aggressive set of matching bumpers. In addition to the rear wing, the package also... Full article...

Initial testing showed that even simple mods such as adding new wheels or breathing mods makes the ECU go haywire, but it appears Japan’s tuners have now cracked the code. Some of the big firms such as Mines, HKS and Top Secret are starting to fill their... Full article... Article added: 2008-03-26 08:07:53 Article Views Rating: 727 |
