Germany tuner, Edo Competition Motorsport has released its custom Bentley Continental GT known as the edo speed GT. A 6.0 liter W12 engine that capable to produce 680 hp (500 kw) at 6,000 rpm (stock is 610 hp) and 880 Nm (649 lb-ft) of torque (stock is 750 Nm/553 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm is fitted to the car. The top speed for the edo speed GT increased from 326 km/h (203 mph) to 340 km/h (211 mph) and the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h 124 mph) in 13 seconds.

ECU recalibration, a new high-performance stainless steel exhaust system. The new butterfly valve system (with an optional remote control) delivers two different settings for the volume level are all the things upgraded to the car. The edo speed GT also comes with a new suspension system that can be adjusted individually by the electronic air suspension control module thus the front and the rear can be lowered by a maximum of 35 mm.

A set 20-inch wheels measuring at 275/35 ZR 20 at the front and 275/35 ZR 20 at the rear is fitted to the car as well. Edo Competition allow their customers to paint the wheels according to their request and they are wrapped with Continental Sport Contact V-Max tires.

Alpina has release the all-new Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo official image. Alpina's latest proposal is based on the new 7-Series and it uses a modified version of BMW's factory 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine developed to produce 507-horsepower and 700Nm of torque.

The car capable to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in only 4.7 seconds. However the top speed is electronically limited to 280 km/h or 174mph. Alpina has not issued any details yet, but we gather that the B7 Bi-Turbo will also feature upgrades to the suspension and braking system.

For the exterior, the B7 has been enhanced with Alpina's signature front lip spoiler, a boot spoiler and a set of multispoke alloy wheels.

TechArt has plan to introduce a new tuning package for the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. The tuning package for the diesel Cayenne doesn't offer anything in terms of added horsepower. Dubbed Aerokit I, the new styling package consists of a variety of TechArt parts which help to give the Cayenne Diesel a more aggressive and sporting appearance. A new front spoiler, aerodynamic side sills, a discrete roof spoiler, a new rear apron which features an integrated diffuser, and double oval exhaust pipes. The styling package also features some minor interior touches such as a new sports steering wheel and aluminum pedals.

A set of 10.0 x 21 ET 57 Formula metal alloy rims with 295/35 R21 Continental tires or body-color 10.0 x 22 ET 55 rims which also feature Continental rubber. The lowered sports suspension should ensure that they fill up the wheel-wells quite nicely.

Audi replaces the current S5 Coupe's normally aspirated 354HP 4.2-liter V8 with the new S4 / S5 Convertible's 333HP supercharged 3.0 V6 TFSI, ABT Sportsline has created the AS5-R using the current S5 as a base. With a series of modifications that include changes to the engine management and the insertion of an ABT Compressor, the AS5-R 4.2 V8's performance is increased by an impressive 156 HP to a powerful 510 HP.

For all the performance modification, the car able to accelerate from 0-100km/h (62mph) time with 4.5 seconds (standard model: 5.1 sec) with the AS5-R continuing to accelerate up to its maximum speed of 292km/h or 182mph. Despite the significant increase in performance, the German tuner claims that consumption and tailpipe emissions still remain at the level of the series-produced vehicle.

A new braking system with 380 millimetre disc diameter and an ABT Coil-over suspension system to help the S5 cope with the extra power. The German tuning firm also sprinkles some extra aggression onto the body with a new front spoiler and grille, inner fender skirts, gill-shaped air inlets and a new rear skirt incorporating a 4-pipe rear muffler.

The Winterlinger-based tuner, Lumma Design has just released their own version of the BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe. Lumma’s own version, CLR X 650, sports some impressive 23-inch wheels, mounted on a super-duper sport widebody kit, which includes 2 inch fender extensions.

As expected and already seen in their previous designs (eg. Lumma CLR 500 RS), the front and rear spoilers receive a new treatment as well, along with the side skirts. Of course, carbon-fiber is being used all around, including the air ducted hood. Lowered sport suspensions designed by Lumma are completing the aggressive look and stand.

As pretty much all the sport-oriented cars, the interior received a similar treatment, which includes leather and alcantara trim and seats and aluminum pedals. Last but not least a hightech multimedia system with 7,5 monitors installed in the custom made headrests.
Lummaand worked their magic on the V8 Twin-Turbo as well by reprogramming the ECU and replacing the exhaust with a stainless sport system.

The fastest most powerful Bentley in the company's 90-year history

6-litre W12 engine twin-turbocharged now produces 630PS (621 bhp/463 kW) at 6000 rev/min and 800 Nm (590 lb ft) of torque at 1700-5600 rev/min

* 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds)
* 0-100 mph (0-160 km/h) in 8.9 seconds
* 50-70 mph in 2.1 seconds
* 80-120 km/h in 2.6 seconds
* Top speed of 204 mph (329 km/h)

Continental Supersports reaffirms Bentley's environmental commitment by pioneering the use of biofuel in the luxury sector

* Capable of running on petrol and E85 biofuel or any combination of the two
* Power and torque remain constant whatever the ratio of petrol to E85 biofuel
* A Fuel Quality Sensor detects the blending ratio of the fuel in real time sending a signal to the engine control unit (ECU), initiating the correct engine mapping. This ensures all performance parameters remain balanced and consistent
* Offers a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 70% (well-to-wheel), a measure of a fuel's net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions

Continental Supersports is the extreme Bentley, delivering a highly focused driving experience

* Revised ZF 6HP26 transmission with 'Quickshift' system that cuts shift times by 50% and enables double downshifts
* New 40/60 rear-biased torque split for the all-wheel drive system reduces understeer when powering out of bends and provides for better modulation of line and attitude by 'throttle steering'
* Uprated front suspension with aluminium forward levers, stiffer bushes together with retuned antiroll bar and Servotronic steering for sharper turn-in
* Revised Continuous Damping Control (CDC) for improved body control
* Unique lightweight, 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels offer 10 kg (22 lb) weight saving per car, reducing unsprung and rotating mass and improving brake cooling. Increased 25 mm (I inch) offset on rear wheels improves grip and stability
* 275/35 ZR20 Pirelli Ultra High Performance tyres
* Advanced ESP system fully exploits potential of the most powerful W12 engine and improved chassis
* Standard-fit carbon-ceramic brakes – the largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to a production car – contribute 20 kg (44 lb) weight saving
* 110 kg (243 lb) weight saving compared to Continental GT Speed

Continental Supersports combines the looks of the iconic GT with a distinctive style that reflects its supercar character

* Form follows function: distinctive centre air intake and vertical grilles feed larger volume of air (+ 10%) to turbocharger intercoolers while bonnet vents extract hot air from engine bay
* Subtly curved rear wheel arches with newly tooled side panels accommodate increased rear track of the uprated chassis and provide muscular stance
* Distinctive 'smoked steel finish' to all exterior 'brightware', including the first automotive application of 'Physical Vapour Deposition' to stainless steel
* Larger, twin elliptical exhaust tailpipes and rear valance with discreet vertical divider
* 2 new pearlescent and 2 new matt finish colours
* Unique driver-focused, two-seater cabin with lightweight sports seats, giving a 45 kg (99 lb) weight saving
* Rear seats replaced by stowage deck with carbon fibre luggage retaining beam
* AlcantaraTM, carbon fibre and 'Soft Touch' leather provide a very different interpretation of Bentley craftsmanship with choice of Single Tone and Duo Tone combinations
