Bentley Continental GTC by ASI
Most of the people who buy themselves a Bentley Continental GTC are rich, old people who like the car as it is. There are some that like to make their Bentley unique, for this category we suggest ASI , the well-known Japanese tuner.

New side sills, a carbon fiber rear trunk spoiler and a new rear bumper with integrated exhaust system. Also new 22 inch alloy wheels were added.

Tuning has no limits and this is what the Austrian tuner, O.CT Tuning wants to show us. With its 580 hp the new Audi RS6 Avant is already a true supercar but in the vision of O.CT the car had to be more powerful, and with the help of an engine re-mapping and a new exhaust system the engine was boosted from 580 to an astonishing 700 hp, 750 Nm of torque and a top speed of 325 km/h. Also the R8 got some attention and with the help of a new custom exhaust system the engine was boosted from 420 to 446 hp and gained 1,5 seconds in the sprint from 0 to 200 km/h, that the standard Audi R8.
The Mileage Marathon represents the ultimate race covering more than 4,800 miles from New York to Los Angeles through major cities and passing countless natural wonders. The race will take place between 5-20 October and will feature 23 cars from four different model lines, cars like the Audi Q7 3.0 TDI, the brand new Audi Q5 3.0 TDI and the Audi A4, the sportiest sedan in its class, with the superb 3.0 TDI engine.
Finally, the TDI technology from Audi is taken to new heights with the launch of the new Q7 V12 TDI. The new vehicle is a truly masterpiece: the V12 TDI engine develops an astonishing 500 hp and 1000 Nm of torque. Of course all of you may say what’s the deal with this new engine, because with these numbers the it’s not quite an economic vehicle…Unfortunately we have to contradict all of you who thought this, the new Q7 has an average of just 11.3 liters of fuel per 100 km. When it comes to performance the vehicle is a truly sports car: 0-100 km/s sprint is made in just 5.5 seconds while the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. Bad news is that the car is going to be available at the dealers by the end of this year.
For the first time, Audi Sport will offer a racing sports car specifically developed for customer use in the form of the powerful 500 hp plus GT3 version of the Audi R8 which will be available from autumn 2009. The logistics and factory space required for the AUDI AG customer programme will be created over the next few months in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm and Györ.
Fresh off development, the STaSIS Signature Series S5 is now available with the added performance to back-up Audi’s evocative design. Available in two levels of trim, the Signature Series S5 comes in either Touring or Challenge Edition formats. Utilizing the same high-end technology engineered by STaSIS for World Challenge racing, the S5 Signature Series turns Audi’s grand tourer to a legitimate canyon carver.
The Austrian tuner got it´s hands on a previous-generation Audi S3 and converted the drivetrain from all- to rear-wheel drive. The entire drivetrain has been transfered to the back of the vehicle, to enable fabulous drifting with an extrem fun factor. Results of this massive conversion – a nearly ideal weight distribution of 50 to 50 percent between front and rear. Adding to the fun is the 2.7 liter V6 twin-turbo engine from an Audi RS4, powered up to 550 hp.
The engine of the new Audi RS 6 is a high-tech work of art. The 4,991 cc V10 bundles a number of Audi’s race-winning technologies – FSI direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and two turbochargers. With up to 1.6 bar of boost pressure, these provide smooth, powerful thrust and an incomparable power band: The peak torque of 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) is available from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm and thus nearly over the entire rev range. Peak power of 426 kW (580 hp) is generated between 6,250 rpm and the maximum figure of 6,700 rpm.[source audi]

HAMANN-Motorsport presents its latest technology wheel HM EVO FORGED. By its production in forged technology, this variation of the well-known HAMANN rim HM EVO could be even reduced further in weight. A front wheel rim measuring 8.5 x 20 inches only weighs 11 kilograms. The rim which has been especially adjusted to the style and needs of the current BMW fleet, combines modern design with the highest technical requirements. After fitting this one-piece light alloy wheel, not only the handling, but also the acceleration and braking characteristics of the vehicle are improved by reducing the unsprung masses.
