At the end of 2010, Carlsson revealed an impressive tuning package for the new generation Mercedes CLS-Class. Now the tuner has moved on to the most powerful model in the CLS lineup: the CLS 63 AMG.

For the CLS 63 AMG package, the 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine has been updated to deliver an impressive 600 HP, up from the standard 518 HP and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Next to this, the tuner is offering a nifty aerodynamic package that includes a new front spoiler, an RS front spoiler lip (available in real carbon), a new rear spoiler, a rear apron, and a built-in diffuser which functions as a tailplane and ensures extra downforce and more stable road holding at high speeds.

As an added bonus, this package can be applied to any other model in the CLS-Class line-up.

Just a few months ago, we caught wind of a prototype vehicle parked outside of tuning company MTM’s headquarters in Germany. This prototype carried the name Audi R8 V10 BiTurbo and was rumored to pack crazy amounts of power underneath its capable hood. Fast forward to the present and that prototype seems to have developed into a full-fledged tuning package and is headed to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

MTM chose to use the 5.0L V10 engine used on their Audi RS6 Clubsport for this model as well, but the RS6’s 730hp rating still falls short of what MTM accomplished with the R8 BiTurbo. The R8 V10 BiTurbo is now capable of 777 hp and 888 NM of torque. Yep, 777 HP. With these updates, the MTM R8 will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, from 0 to 124 in 9.37 seconds, and will hit a top speed of 217 mph.

The engine wasn’t all that was changed though. To get that shiny, mirrored look on the sports car, MTM completely removed its paint and polished it up real nice which took over 700 working hours. An adjustable rear spoiler, a front lip, and MTM Bimoto 20 inch forged rims were also added, as well as some leather on the inside of the R8.

Now that MTM has dazzled everyone with their impressive work on the R8 V10 sports car, we think it’s time to let everyone know that, in order to get this finger-lickin’, suped up Audi, customers will have to dish out $550,000. Yeah, you can pick your jaws up off the floor now

Infiniti is one of those brands that tuning firms just skim past while deciding on their next project, so finding a decent package for Nissan’s luxury division is not something we come across on a daily – or even monthly – basis. And today isn’t going to be any different as this custom M30d comes to us from a dealer in Hamburg, Germany, and not a tuning professional.

“Infiniti Zentrum Hamburg” is offering two different stages for their M30d S. The package for Stage 1 includes painted door handles, red brake calipers with Infiniti lettering, a black radiator grille, and a black, foil covered roof. The dealer has also added an H+R suspension which lowers the vehicle by 25mm, as well as performance optimization for the V6 diesel engine. This engine now delivers a total of 280hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, up from the standard 235 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Total price for the Stage 1 package is 5775 euros ($7,947 at the current rates).

For Stage 2, the dealer takes the modifications from the first package and adds a new set of 22″ wheels with 265/30R22 Pirelli tires in the front and 295/25R22 in the rear. The wheels add an additional 6800 euros ($9,358 at the current rates).

The dealer also announced that the same packages can be applied to any other Infiniti model in the line-up upon request.

Outside the impending spotlight that will fall down in Geneva next week is a showroom in Dubai that has a vehicle that should get everybody’s attention. The car is a Mercedes SLS AMG, but it’s not just any other SLS AMG, it’s one that was spruced-up by noted tuning firm, Fab Design. If you recall from a few months ago, the company released their tuning package for the SLS AMG so it really begs the question, why do another sample of the same thing?

The answer, as it turns out, is that it’s the same thing, albeit with a different aerodynamic package. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Mercedes SLS AMG Widebody by FAB Design.

Keeping to its widebody package, this particular SLS AMG comes with re-sculpted fenders with the quarter panels and side skirts making up an entire panel that fits snugly over the supercar’s existing panels. Over at the rear, the SLS AMG also got a retooled bumper fascia with wider quarter panels, giving the rear a more sinister look than FAB Design’s previous work.

Performance modifications on the SLS AMG Widebody weren’t released, but if you go back to the ‘standard’ SLS AMG that FAB Design worked on back in October, you might remember that it came with a new sport exhaust system that bumped up the Mercedes supercar’s output from 563 horsepower to 611 horsepower. Whether the same powertrain lies under this particular SLS AMG is anyone’s guess, but we won’t be surprised if it does come with the same performance modifications.

In any case, the widebody version of FAB Design’s SLS AMG looks far more aggressive and intimidating than the ‘standard’ type. It might be a matter of subjectivity as far as how its received, but in our case, it looks pretty impressive.

Novitec Rosso, the same tuning firm that brought us the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Race 606 Carbon Ferrari California, is headed to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show scheduled to kick off in just a few days. At the show, Novitec Rosso plans to present a tuning package for the most powerful 599 in the line-up: the GTO

Not much was done to the exterior of the Ferrari, but the makeover provided for the engine more than makes up for whatever they did do on the outside. If anyone thinks that the 670 galloping horses found underneath the 599 GTO’s hood are enough bang for their buck, then they need to get ready to be pleasantly surprised. Novitec Rosso was able to tweak and massage an extra 218hp out of the sports car’s already powerful V12 engine. Anything else done to the vehicle is just icing on the cake.

AC Schnitzer’s second Geneva-bound model is the ACS5 Sport S, a model based on the BMW 550i. Looking at their creation, no one would be all that impressed; there aren’t many changes done to the exterior leading people to believe it was just another minor and unimpressive upgrade for yet another BMW model. Then there are those other people that would expect a fantastically upgraded engine to counteract the anticlimactic exterior. The second group of people would be correct in their assumptions.

The ACS5 Sport S takes the standard 4.4L V8 engine found in the BMW 550i and has toyed with it enough to bump the standard 400hp to a phenomenal 540 hp and 750 Nm of torque. With the extra 140 HP, the ACS5 Sport S will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 200mph. Flying through the corner will also be made easy with an added limited slip differential.

More information to come as the Geneva Motor Show’s doors will be welcoming visitors in just a few days!

Toyota Etios Diesel Will Be Launched On December 2011

Toyota Motors is savoring the sweet taste of success with its recently launched car model Toyota Etios Sedan and Toyota Etios Liva which was unveiled during the launch. The company is now mulling over the launch of a diesel version of the Toyota Etios. According to a company official, the company plans to launch the diesel version of the Toyota Etios in December 2011. Koji Nagata, the Director for Marketing of Toyota Kirloskar, said that the company is studying the decision to make a diesel model of the Toyota Etios and they are hoping to launch it by December of 2011. The car could put some good competition with Nissan Micra Diesel as well as other cars. The Nissan Micra was just launched December 10 this year. Toyota Motors that is now operating a joint venture with Kirloskar Motors in India is planning to increase their localization of components specifically for Toyota Etios by 90% as their current standing is only at 70%. The model of Toyota Etios sedan that was launched in Bangalore on first December has a 1.5L DOHC engine that can churn out a power of 90 bhp and a torque of 132 Nm. It also offers a mileage of 17.6 kmpl and is priced at Rs 4.96 lac. It is set to go on tight competition with other car models such as the Maruti Swift Dzire, Ford Ikon, Tata Manza and Hyundai Accent in the Indian auto market. The hatchback version Toyota Etios Liva that is set to enter the Indian market in April 2011 will have a 1.2L engine that offers 80 bhp. It will be priced at Rs. 4.2 lac- the expected figures. It looks like Toyota is all set to dive into the over crowded but opportunistic market with its models. To give Toyota a head start, the Toyota Etios model bagged bookings of 3077 units in just two days of its launch. Of course, only time would tell if the Japanese car pioneer will maintain its reputation in such a competitive market. Another model that is making its way in Maruti Swift Diesel that is also making waves in this market segment.
