Auto Edition: Kicherer E50 Coupe

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The German tuner Kicherer has unveiled the E50 Coupe tuning kit based on the Mercedes E500 coupe. With the help of software update and a sports exhaust system, the V8 engine’s power has been increased by 42 hp and 20 NM. In the standard model, the top speed has been limited to 155 mph, in the tuner version it goes up to 205 mph.

Aerodynamics kit includes: a front lip, side skirts, a rear diffuser and special mirror casings. All components are made of top quality and ultra-light carbon. The car sits on 20 inch wheels.

With 388 PS and 530 Nm torque it’s the currently most powerful production model coupé that the company can offer its customers. At the rear both eye and ear can delight in every sense in a lovely exhaust system. On the one hand it is convincing with its modern, almost rectangular tail pipe design and on the other hand it produces an exciting but not obtrusive sound.

At the elegant side, the coupe is perfected by the sportily filigree Kicherer RS-1 20 inch wheels, behind which you get hints of the braking power of the 6 and 6 piston high performance brake system. With its composite discs and modified flexible steel tubes this ensures a suitable negative acceleration.

Interior, with its interior elements and entry strips in epoxy resin laqueur complements the outer appearance of the Kicherer E50 Coupé. Thus Kicherer has been able to create an almost perfect balance between dynamism and elegance.

Auto Tune: Audi R8 Carbon Limited Edition offered by Prior Design

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

German tuners Prior Design has come up with a new Carbon Limited Edition body kit for the Audi R8, with new styling upgrades.

With no additional tuning, the modifications are mostly cosmetic with Prior Design choosing to keep the engine intact. Most of the performance improvement comes as a result of upgraded aerodynamics, with the new body kit.

The most obvious change is the Audi R8’s trademark sideblade, which has been painted in the body colour of the car instead of black. Other modifications include a new lower lip spoiler with a centre fin and two smaller air intakes on the sides.

There is also a new, more rounded hood with carbon fibre inlets, as well as new side skirts. The redesigned rear bumper has been constructed from carbon fibre, and contains a new diffuser. The interior has also been given a makeover by Kamp-Lintfort, and includes carbon fibre trim on the centre console and handbrake.
