Väth has unveiled their new tuning program for the 2012 Mercedes SLK (R172). Looking tastefully restrained, the model is outfitted with a front lip spoiler, a rear diffuser, lowering springs and 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's carbon fiber trim, aluminum pedals, velour floor mats and a revised speedometer that tops out at 330 km/h (205 mph). Under the hood, a variety of performance packages are available. The SLK 200 CGI can be tuned to produce 210 PS (154 kW / 207 hp) and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque, while the SLK 250 CGI can be upgraded to churn out 244 PS (179 kW / 241 hp) and 360 Nm (265 lb-ft) of torque. Lastly, the SLK 350 can be equipped with an optimized ECU which enables the 3.5-liter engine to develop 330 PS (243 kW / 325 hp) and 390 Nm (288 lb-ft) of torque. Should that fail to impress you, Väth also offers high-performance brakes, a limited slip differential and a stainless steel sport exhaust system.

Audi R8 Spyder by Mansory
Mansory has released new photos of their tuning package for the Audi R8 V10 Spyder. On the styling front, the model has an aggressive body kit with a front spoiler, revised side skirts and a prominent rear wing.
There's also carbon fiber accents and 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin can be ordered with everything from personalised floor mats to custom leather seats. If you're not ready to pony up the big bucks, you can settle for aluminium pedals and illuminated sill plates. For added performance, the 5.2-liter V10 engine is equipped with a high-flow air filter and a sport exhaust system. Thanks to these tweaks, the engine develops 552 PS (406 kW / 544 hp) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 27 PS (20 kW / 27 hp) and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).

The MANSORY refining programme for the Audi R8 Spyder
Refining sports cars is more than just a business for MANSORY. Love for detail, the particular and the unique is an incentive for exceptional reconstructions. The company's latest stroke of genius impressively proves that once again. The MANSORY interpretation of the Audi R8 Spyder with its exclusive and extensive refining programme does not let just the hearts of convertible fans beat faster.
In particular, the car body kit clearly demonstrates that the desire for visual refinement is the focus at MANSORY. Apart from a multitude of new design elements made of carbon such as the new front grill and the lamella bonnets, specific interventions on front, side and rear ensure extra aerodynamics. The front spoiler attachment therefore reduces the buoyancy of the Spyder, which decisively improves handling and agility. Furthermore, the side skirts calm the air flow between both axes. A rear spoiler also provides more contact pressure. The MANSORY technicians could restrict themselves to a small wing profile from which the car body design has significantly benefited. Since the combination with a new rear apron and the perfectly integrated rear diffuser made a sufficient grip available. The MANSORY aerodynamics kit displays its strengths on main roads with curvy sections and generates pure driving pleasure.
Extra agility and handling create room for more power. For the V10 5.2 FSI-engine MANSORY brings its Know-How into play. By installing a sport air filter and a sport exhaust system, an improvement of performance results in 552 HP / 406 kW with 800 rpm and an increased torque of 550 Nm with 6500 rpm
An additional technical highlight in the refining programme offered is the distinctive MANSORY alloy wheel. It is particularly light due to the production in forging technology. The unsprung masses are thereby reduced, which improves noticeably both handling and acceleration as well as braking response. The recommended wheel/tyre combination has the size 8.5Jx20 inches with tyre dimensions 245/30ZR20 at the front. At the rear, 11.0Jx20 sized rims with tyre size 305/25ZR20 are used. The wheel/tyre combination is properly set into the scene by suspension springs for the lower suspension setting of the sports car.
MANSORY customers also get offered something in the interior as well. As a complement to the existing interior design offered by our manufacturer, MANSORY offers a extensive programme. That ranges from personalised doormats to perfectly worked leather upholstery with MANSORY couture and carbon applications. Illuminated door entry strips and pedals and footrests made of aluminium are also in the extensive list of possible interior refinement.
MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH offers only its in-house developed tuning accessories. The company does not offer its own make as "complete" vehicle, neither does the company deal with such type of vehicles.

BMW M3 460cs Club Sport by a-workx
German tuner a-workx has an upgrade kit for the E92 BMW M3 that gives it an edge over the GTS model. And the BMW M3 460cs (Club Sport) is a real track racer with road-legal specifications.
The tuner starts things off with a power upgrade to 460 PS (338 kW / 454 hp) and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque from the series 420 PS (309 kW / 414 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft). A lightweight Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust system is part of the kit too as is a limited-slip differential from Drexler.
A 600 PS (441 kW / 592 hp) supercharger option is also available separately.
A KW suspension kit is fitted as are 19-inch ATS Super Light rims with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and a MOV ‘IT CER ceramic brake system which alone costs €19,235 and adds considerable cost to the package. A much cheaper steel brake alternative is also available.
Due to the power upgrade and the use of lightweight materials, the M3 460cs does the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 4.1 seconds compared to the 4.8 seconds of the standard M3. 200 km/h is reached in 13.2 seconds, down 2.5 seconds from series.
It's an expensive package, though, ringing in at €52,229 with the ceramic brakes and €34,034 with the steel ones.
Ferrari California 3S Silver Carbon Fiber by DMC
German tuner DMC has a new kit for the Ferrari California.
The Ferrari California 3S Silver Carbon Fiber features a body kit that includes a front splitter in silver carbon fiber, rear diffuser also in silver carbon, and a silver carbon rear apron around the license plate bay.
For the engine tuning, DMC dials output up to 606 PS (446 kW / 598 hp) from the series 460 PS (338 kW / 454 hp). The new 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time is 3.9 seconds and new top speed is 325 km/h (202 mph).
Wheels are 9J x 21-inch rims for the front with 11.5J x 22-inch rims at the back.
Press release below explains the engine work.
Hamann Cyrano Porsche Panamera
German tuner Hamann has revamped the Porsche Panamera and calls it the Hamann Cyrano.
The Cyrano reference stems from the German tuner's complete revision of the front end of the Panamera. Larger air intakes and daytime running lights are added to the front fascia and there's a redesigned bonnet too. The Panamera also gets widened by 60 mm at the front and rear fenders and side skirts and rear diffuser are part of the kit as well.
Hamann then adds large 22-inch wheels and lowers the suspension by 30 mm.
For the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Hamann is promising a future performance tuning that ups horsepower by 80 PS (59 kW / 80 hp) and torque by 120 Nm (88.5 lb-ft).
Hamann also offers individualized interior finishes using the finest leathers and Alcantara.
