Mean 300km/h Audi RS5 by MTM

Image
German tuner MTM is known for its high powered mean looking Euro machines and has been at it again. This time they got a hold of the new Audi RS5, sprinkled a bit of tuning dust and ended up with this mean red 300km/h machine. However, instead of taking the entire car apart and reworking it like most tuners do, this MTM Audi RS5 is stock standard. MTM simply upped the speed limiter to allow for a higher top speed, all that for a cheque of US$1,429. According to MTM, the RS5 powerplant still produces 450hp but that could be turned up a few more figures thanks to the company's new free-breathing exhaust system. To match the go, MTM also offers plenty of show in the form of new wheels, but that's it for now. Currently in the development process, MTM will soon introduce a complete suspension kit as well as very competent brakes for the RS5. For now, MTM fans are going to have to make do with a higher top end and mean rims.

Fully restored to new, 516hp Nissan Skyline R34 Z-tune

Image
A Nissan GTR R34 is still one of the most desirable machines to come out of Japan, high up there with the NSX-R, R35 GTR, and other iconic Japanese machines. Sadly, they are aged and finding a used example in near perfect condition is close to impossible. Well almost impossible. German tuner JAPO Motorsport is offering a near brand-new R34 GTR NISMO Z-tune for those willing to fork out the cash for it. The Essen-based tuner bought a stock 1999 GT-R and spent a lot of time and money tearing it apart and restoring it as close to the original as possible. In putting it all back together, the tuner used original Z-tune parts (like the front skirts, mudguards and rear wheel housing) and original sil "KY0" paint which was exclusive to the Z-tune back then (only 20 Z-tune's were made). Also part of the package are NISMO Z-tune five spoke wheels, Toyo semi-slick tires, alcantara leather upholstery, an updated multifunctional display, and a revised speedometer that now tops out at...

Nissan GT-R35 vs Bugatti Veyron

The Nissan GT-R has always stacked itself up against the best in its class and even stronger opponents, probably that's why comparisons involving it and other, more powerful and able cars will always take place. Here's a drag battle between the R35 GT-R and the fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron on near empty Russian highways. The winner is quite obvious actually but what really caught my eye happens at 2min 47sec, is that a NOS shot GTR? Just judging from the colour of the flames and how rapidly it picked up speed to catch the Veyron, it could just be. Other than that, kudos to dragtimes.info for this amazing showdown.

Porsche to race the 918 Spyder hybrid concept at the 24-hour of Nurburgring next year

Image
It's no secret that Porsche is studying the possibility of putting the 918 Spyder hybrid car to production. The German automaker already has one successful hybrid system in the 911 GT3 R Hybrid racer and with its recent successes, the hybrid system has basically proven itself. With that, Porsche has now announced its intention to take the 918 Spyder racing at the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 2011. Porsche engineers are already working on the car and one of their priorities is to get its top speed up to the 320km/h mark. Porsche claims that the 918 Spyder is able to lap around the Nordschleife track in under 7 minutes and 30 seconds. The 918 Spyder hybrid concept made its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show this past March. It features a V8 engine with 493hp in addition to three electric motors churning out a total of 215hp. That adds up to 708hp and if the 918 Spyder does make it to production, it would be the most powerful road car Porsche has ever produced. The e...

We reported about Cosworth working on a special edition of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI some time ago, and now its officially here. Here are the first official photos of the highly anticipated Impreza WRX STI Cosworth edition. Set to go on sale this June in the UK only and in a limited-run of just 75 units, the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 promises supercar-like performance figures in a hot hatch. Cosworth's engineers started work on the STI's 2.5-liter boxer unit, installing new high-performance pistons, connecting rods, head gaskets and bearings. The mod works also includes a remapped ECU, a modified turbocharger and wastegate as well as a new custom exhaust system. The result of all that work is an impressive 395hp at 5,750rpm, enough to propel the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 too 100km/h in a mere 3.7-seconds. Just for comparison sake, the standard 296hp Impreza WRX STI completes the 100km/h sprint in 5.2-seconds. According to reports from Subaru, the CS400 also gets revamped sus...
