BMW X6M Stealth By Inside Performance



Some might argue on the naming of the kit as it’s not very stealthy unless your going to haul it around in a winter climate. Some also might argue that the BMW X6 M’s twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 that produces 555 horsepower should be enough for most occasions but Inside Performance will strongly disagree. In fact they felt so strongly about it that they cranked up the horsepower output to 700 horsepower.

Hennessey Ford Taurus SHO Packs 435 HP



The folks at Hennessey took a stock 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque Ford Taurus SHO and added series of upgrades to the SHO’s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. The engine mods include a new dual cold-air induction system, new hard polished piping for the turbocharger, a Corsa stainless steel cat-back exhaust, complete with a returned ECU. The kit is called MaxBoost 445 and will ramp up SHO’s horsepower output to a total of 445 ponies. 0-60 mph has been recorded at 4.3 seconds which is insane for a large sedan like the Taurus.

Matte Black Vorsteiner Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe




Vorsteiner went the extra step and blacked out all the grilles and tinted the windows to complement the matte black wrap that covers the car. The Vorsteiner Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe sits on 19-inch black coated Vorsteiner VS-320 wheels. Both the lip of the rim and the brake calipers sport a red shade to give the C63 a bit of contrast and depth.

Dubai Police Acquires Ferrari FF And Will Soon Add SLS AMG And Continental GT



If you thought that the Aventador and the Ferrari FF was overkill then you might be surprised that DPD will likely soon add a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Bentley Continental GT to their already high powered super car fleet. A photograph was taken of the two white cars in same garage as the Aventador and the Ferrari FF. It appears as if they are awaiting their vinyl transformations and in the coming days will be wearing a green and white finish.

Icona Vulcano Concept Debuts At Shangai



Icona, an Italian design firm has just recently revealed the Vulcano at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show.
After several teasers, Icona has finally pulled the wraps off the Vulcano which features many organic shapes, scoops, lines, and vents that look stunning to say the least. However what’s potentially more stunning is the potential performance numbers of the Icona Vulcano.
Power is provided by two available powertrains, a V6 dubbed the ”H-Competizione racing setup” and a much powerful V12 engine, called the “H-Turismo street version”. The H-Turismo version uses aFerrari-sourced 6.0 liter V12 that is paired with an 160 horsepower electric motor. The V12 is connected to a single-clutch automated gearbox that powers the rear-wheels. Icona claims a total combined output of 950 horsepower which translates to a 0-60 mph time in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h).

Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario Edition



Lamborghini had planned to celebrate it’s birthday at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show with the announcement of the LP720-4 50 Anniversario but earlier today it was leaked, similar to that of the Veneno a few months ago. Set aside the bright yellow paint job, and the LP720-4 gets an increase of 20 horsepower to it’s 6.5 liter V12 engine for a total of 720 horsepower, which shouldn’t effect the standard Aventador’s top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h) or it’s 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds.

Venom GT Hits 265.7 mph Making It The Fastest Production Car



Texas-based Hennessey Performance has just announced that the Venom GT has broken yet another record and is now the fastest “production” car in the world.
Now that is a bold claim and fortunately for us, they have a video to prove it but are they right? The $1.2 million Venom GT hit 265.7 mph on a 2-mile airstrip at Lemoore Naval Air Station in California on February 9th, 2013. For those of you who know your stats, that’s just shy of the Bugatti Veyron’s SS top speed of 267.8 mph.
Now some of you may argue that the Veyron SS is still on top, but according to John Hennessey there’s a catch.....
