Hyundai has came out a screw-type supercharger mated to the 4.6-liter Tau V8. The RKSport sedan is putting out an estimated 460 horsepower, but with a new cylinder deactivation system, fuel mileage is equivalent to that of the V6-equipped Genesis. Hyundai made it clear that it hasn't made an official decision to offer the supercharger, but expect the cylinder deactivation system to be available in the future.



For the exterior, the RKSport model receives a custom body kit, composite hood, rear roof spoiler and trunk spoiler, along with Enkei LS-5 wheels, Baer brakes, a K&N air intake, Magnaflow exhaust and lowering springs.

Recently, Novitec Rosso has released details about a new modified Ferrari 599 GTB that builds upon its previous version by adding a new forced-induction system. The new package consists of a subtle styling kit for increased downforace, as well as some mild handling upgrades, and a twin-turbocharging kit.

The engine is capable to produce a impressive output of 808hp (594kW) and 607lb-ft (823Nm) of torque and these are the result of the new twin compressor conversion. The top speed of the car is 340 km/h. This is 188hp (138kW) and 159lb-ft (215Nm) of torque more than the stock 599. In combination with the F1-Superfast transmission, the tuned 599 will sprint from rest to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds, pass 200km/h after 9.7 seconds and reach 300km/h after 25.5 seconds.

A belt-driven twin-supercharging system is bolted to the engine, producing a relatively mild peak boost pressure of 5.65psi. The compressed air is then cooled down to a level conducive for added power by a large intercooler cooled by a dedicated water cycle. A specially designed intake manifold with high-performance injectors and a sports air filter round out the conversion on the intake side. Other powertrain mods include custom exhaust manifolds, a 90mm diameter stainless-steel quad exhaust system, and a retuned ECU.

For the exterior, Novitec Rosso produces a new front lip, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, a new rear wing and bumper with an integrated diffuser for the Ferrari 599 GTB. The car is fitted with 20 inch wheels for the front and 21 inch for the rear with 355mm Pirelli P Zeros. Other changes to the 599 include a KW Automotive adjustable aluminum suspension kit, as well as new 405mm brake discs with Brembo six piston calipers.

Hamann-Motorsports has came out something special for the BMW X6. Hamann boosts the X6's 3.5i gasoline/petrol version from 306 to 360 hp and the 3.5d (diesel) from 286 hp to 320 hp. Cranking power is also considerably elevated by 140 Nm to 540 Nm in the 3.5i and taken to a massive 660 Nm in the 3.5d from a previous 580 Nm.

For the exterior, the car is fitted with a set of 23-inch rims, in need of 315/25R23 tires. Oh, and the price tag for just the four wheels is 9,385 euros. Yes, this is an audacious tuner that also messes with the BMW sound with a four-pipe exhaust system that gives the X6 a more grounded sound. The tuning kit also comes with a collection of spoilers and skirts and the interior gets a once-over with special carbon-fiber materials too.

The 2010 Pontiac G8 ST is a dramatically different vehicle that blends the performance of the G8 sports sedan with the cargo capabilities of a light truck. The highlights of the concept car are come with liquid hot exterior color with enhanced clear coat, lowered ride height, a set of 20 inch wheels, leather trimmed seats with red inserts, G8 GXP steering wheel with red inserts, G8 GXP shift knob with red inserts, custom interior trim kit, and hard tonneau cover.

A 6.0L small block V8 engine and rated at 361 HP and 385 lb-ft of torque is going to power the car.. It features GM’s Active Fuel Management technology, which allows the engine to switch from V-8 power to four-cylinder operation during light-load driving conditions, enhancing fuel economy. The transmission is a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic.

Chevrolet has released few images for their Camaro concept. The concept is the Camaro ‘Black’, and as its name suggests the new muscle car features an all-black exterior plus some unique additions to give it a menacing appearance.

There are some changes for the front lip, which is lower when compare to the standard model. This is accompanied by aggressive side skirts and a new diffuser at the rear. Completing the look is a pair of oversized exhaust tips.

Some of the items expected to be revealed at the upcoming SEMA event include complete crate engine upgrades, cylinder head and valve components, new intake manifolds and head gaskets, sports exhaust systems, performance headers, high-flow intakes and catalytic converters, a Hurst short throw shifter and all of these are fitted to a 300hp 3.6L V6 engine. Besides these, other details include a darkened grille, tinted lights, and a set of 21in alloy wheels.
