Prindiville Design is a UK-based aftermarket specialist located in London that has unveiled its latest project based on the Land Rover Defender. The off-roader comes with upgrades for both the exterior and interior of the vehicle, along with a significant power boost under its hood.

Ruf Panamera XL heading to China

Ruf Porsche Panamera XL

Here at rpmGo we are not big fans of the Porsche Panamera so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that this stretched version created by Ruf is not our cup of tea. Known as the Panamera XL, the car will be heading to China, a very important market for Porsche since more than 50% of the Asian market is accounted by China.

In 2011, Porsche managed to sell 24,340 units in China, which is almost 65% more in comparison to 2010. The German automaker offers a wide array of models in China, ranging from roadsters to SUVs and supercars. However, they don’t have a long wheelbase version for the Panamera which could rival cars like the Audi A8L and the BMW 740iL, both models being already available in China.

Ruf Porsche Panamera XL

Ruf has decided to fill in this gap and launched the Panamera XL which is based on the Panamera S version (V8). They’ve stretched it about 16 inches while the wheelbase has grown by a little over 14 inches. As you would expect, the curb weight of the car is higher, with the Panamera XL gaining about 345 pounds in comparison to the standard version. The German tuner/automaker Ruf has also increased the output of the engine by 14 hp and 7 lb.-ft.

Corvette ZR1 by TIKT revealed

TIKT is a German tuner and its latest project is based on the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Known as the Triple X, it comes with a significant aerodynamic package as well as massive modifications under its hood. By remapping the ECU, installing a modified supercharger system and a specially developed exhaust, the engine in this ZR1 generates 758 hp and a peak torque of 910 Nm.

If our math is right, this means that the engine is 120 hp more powerful than the one in the standard ZR1. In order to accommodate the extra oomph, the German engineers from TIKT had to install new cylinder heads and camshafts, a larger throttle valve, strengthened valve springs and a more efficient cooling system.

In addition, the Corvette ZR1 by TIKT comes with a 50 mm lowered suspension on the front axle and 30 mm on the rear axle. Other modifications include lightweight alloy wheels and racing shock absorbers. The body kit developed for this tuning includes a new front bumper that has bigger air intakes, along with new fenders, side skirts, front splitter and a huge rear wing made from carbon fiber.
