The car now rides on 19-inch OZ Ultraleggera HLT CT rims that are wrapped around in Yokohama Advan Sport. Inside the cabin, Magnat installed a powerful 2,100 watts sound system that comes with new speakers which sport anodized PP membranes, 1-inch textile tweeters and high-performance voice coils. In addition, it also features a Black Core 5 channel amplifier and a 10-inch subwoofer that has a down-fire casing.

Ferrari FF Maximus by DMC
If you thought that the standard Ferrari FF was powerful, wait until DMC launches this Maximus tuning project, which raises the output of the V12 6.0-liter engine by an almost incredible 225 hp (222 PS / 160 kW) and 132 lb.-ft (179 Nm). Thanks to this significant upgrade, the FF will be able to reach 62 mph from start in only 3.2 seconds, while 0-200 km/h will be done in 9.1 seconds. Expect to see a top speed of more than 211 mph (340 km/h).

By using a 3D scanner, the guys over at DMC will come up with a new aerodynamic kit that will fit perfectly to the Ferrari FF. The tuning specialists said that there are going to be new side scoops, new bumpers, a trunk spoiler, a rear diffuser and a rear wing. In addition, the front nose of the supercar will be a little bit longer and sharper while the weight saving measures will shave off 154 lbs (70 kg) as they will replace some of the parts with lightweight carbon ones.
They will raise that output figure to 876 hp (888 PS / 653 kW) and 636 lb-ft (862 Nm) by installing a brand new intake manifold, a stainless steel sport exhaust system that has 90 mm tailpipes, bigger fuel injectors, a larger intercooler as well as high-flow air filters.
The Ferrari FF Maximus by DMC will roll on lightweight wheels, measuring 21 inches in the front and 22 inches out in the back, wrapped around Pirelli PZero rubber. Other goodies added to the FF will be the front-axle lift system and the lowering springs.

2012 Mercedes SLK by Carlsson
To me, as far as the design is concerned, the recently introduced new generation of the Mercedes SLK is one of those cars that looks drop dead gorgeous right from the factory line so tuners should avoid messing up with the design. Performance improvements yes, design changes no. However, aftermarket specialists like Carlsson have managed to make me think about this a little bit more in depth as their upgrade program for the SLK makes the car even more beautiful than before, without changing too much.
Design-wise, their aerodynamic kit features a new front spoiler lip that looks like it was created by Mercedes themselves, along with a rear apron insert that also looks like it was there right from the start. Other additions include the rear diffuser which looks kinda nice and stainless steel front grille inserts that probably look good only on a white SLK, like the one in these two pictures.

Aside from making a few subtle design updates here and there, they’ve also installed a bespoke exhaust system that consists of a stainless steel sports silencer that has two pipes. In addition, the SLK now rides on 20-inch light alloy rims and the suspension lowering kit brings the sexy cabrio closer to the ground. As far as the inside is concerned, the guys over at Carlsson fitted the Mercedes SLK with aluminum pedals, elegant Nappa leather upholstery, along with various carbon, wood and Alcantara trim parts.
They’ve made some modifications under the hood too, where the TGI engines can be fitted with a C-Tronic power kit that increases the output of the engine between 27 and 40 hp.
I’ve always enjoyed subtle tuning programs and Carlsson has managed to come up with just that. Well done guys.

The German tuners from Senner Tuning have decided to come up with yet another tuning program for the Audi A1. This time they chose the one fitted with the 1.4 TFSI engine and the 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox and increased the output to 163 hp (165 PS / 121 kW) and 195 lb.-ft (265 Nm) of torque. The previous tuning program had 154 hp (156 PS / 115 kW) and a peak torque of 184 lb.-ft (250 Nm).
They also throw in a KW suspension lowering kit and a brand new exhaust system with double 90 mm end pipes. The car you see in these pictures is wearing a brown paintwork with Amalfi White accents for the roof arches, mirrors and those 19-inch alloys, dubbed Barracuda Tzunamee, wrapped around in 225/35R19 rubber.
On the inside, they’ve installed a multifunctional steering wheel, new floor mats with the company’s logo and a beige & black velvet finish.
All of these goodies can be yours if you can afford to pay 36, 590 Euros (car included).

AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper Eagle
If you’ve been looking for something even more powerful and quicker than the JCW version of the Mini Cooper, look no further as the guys over at AC Schnitzer have come up with this “Eagle” version. To demonstrate how fast the car really is, they took it to the famous Hockenheim circuit for some comparison testing. It managed to do a lap in 1:13.341 while the Ferrari California did it in 1:13.5, along with the BMW M3 in 1:14.3 and the Porsche 911 Turbo in 1:14.6.
AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper Eagle
This “Eagle” model has the same engine as the JCW version, but AC Schnitzer tweaked it a little bit and it now produces 260 hp (191 kW) @ 5,000 rpm and 340 Nm of torque @ 2,950 rpm. The car can now do the 0-62 mph sprint in only 5.8 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 250 km/h.
AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper Eagle
They managed to squeeze more power out of that engine by installing a new ECU, modifying the intercooler and the turbo and using a stainless steel exhaust system that has a racing catalyst. In addition, the car got a sport clutch, a lightweight ion battery, a limited slip differential, anti-roll bars and a racing suspension.
As far as the aerodynamic package is concerned, AC Schnitzer fitted this Mini with a new hood, a rear diffuser, boot lid, new doors and wings, along with a rear spoiler – all made out of carbon fiber to shave off a few pounds.
The price tag for the fastest Mini Cooper JCW is 62,000 Euros.

The German tuners over at Kelleners Sport have decided to come up with an upgrade program for the BMW Z4 sDrive35is. They took the model fitted with the 3.0-liter twin turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and increased the output of the unit to 400 hp (405 PS / 298 kW) and 398 lb.-ft (539 Nm), significantly more than the standard 335 hp (340 PS / 250 kW) and 332 lb.-ft (450 Nm).
The car can be equipped with rims measuring 19- or 20-inches from Berlin or Hamburg, while the lowering springs bring the car closer to the ground by 20 mm (front axle) and 10 mm (rear axle).

If this isn’t your first time on RPMGO, you probably know that we’re not big fans of the Nissan Juke. Well, the tuning specialists over at Impul have managed to do something that I thought was virtually impossible: make the car even uglier. Well, they did it!
They’ve installed a new grille, a front spoiler, rear diffuser, aerodynamic side skirts and that ridiculously big rear wing. The standard Juke doesn’t look that bad if you look at its back but this one looks horrible. The only thing that saves this new design is that new set of 19-inch alloy wheels which looks pretty nice, too bad that the car isn’t.
Impul offers a remapped ECU for the models fitted with the 1.5-liter engine or the 1.6-liter unit, but they didn’t reveal any performance figures. They did however say that it will “improve engine response and mileage.”
They also can offer a sport-tuned suspension, a stainless steel sport exhaust system as well as a high performance braking system.

Audi S5 Cabriolet By STaSIS Engineering
The guys over at STaSIS Engineering, a North American tuning company, though that the Audi S5 Cabriolet isn’t powerful enough so they’ve decide to create this upgrade program. They took the V6 supercharged 3.0-liter engine and increased its power by 77 hp, managing to squeeze 410 hp from that power plant. The torque is also up from the standard 344 lb.-ft (465 Nm) to 370 lb.-ft (500 Nm). This extra oomph was possible by remapping the ECU and installing a new high-performance exhaust system.

As you would expect, the car is a little bit quicker now, managing to do the 0-62 mph sprint in only 4.3 seconds, which is 0.7 seconds faster than the standard S5 Cabriolet. To lower the braking distance, they installed Alcon 6-piston monobloc calipers, along with high performance pads, braided stainless steel brake lines and 370 mm 2-piece front discs.
