Premier4509 have showed the compact Lambo Reventon The Japanese masters represented by the design studio Premier4509 have unveiled the fresh modification program for the newly-born supercar Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which in this unusual wrapping resembles the compact variant of the ultra-sound “beast” Lamborghini Reventon. The series is strictly limited and features 1 000 copies. At first sight the car really resembles the small Reventon with the typical underlined shape of a fighter-interceptor. Of course, the experts marked out the front end with its 2 huge air intakes and a small spoiler-lip in the middle. Then the interceptor shape is realized in the side channels and ends up in the overwhelming rear end with a couple of spoilers and a run out. The elements of the body-kit are made of carbon. As for the modernization of the running gear and the V10 power unit, the company hasn’t announced any details. Most probably the engine development program is still in works. And if it is really so, the car is likely to get about 600 bhp which will enable the max speed of over 340 kmph and 0-100 kmph in less than 3.5 seconds. To cut the long story short the car is likely to be the true beast. It is a peculiar fact that the official web-page of the company doesn’t allow to read more at the moment. All we were left to do is rely on the simplest way – a telephone call which explained that the car will be unveiled in a number of weeks. Moreover, the representative of the company has stated that almost the whole series has been already ordered. Well, I wonder by whom?

ABT experts have showed the loaded Audi Avant I’ve always wanted to own a loaded compact and “gotten into shape” German station wagon, moreover if the car is made by the renowned masters – ABT tuners. Recently the tuner has showed the new A4 Audi Avant. What a beauty! The novelty is simply stunning. The motorsport concept and huge experience in the niche help the experts realize their ambitious plans. And the car got exactly what was needed. First of all – nothing unnecessary and no showing-off It can even be called “quite modest”. The modification program features aerodynamics development in the shape of a brilliant body-kit, where the proportion, sharpness and precision of the dynamics makes the European “barn” a real top car for city drive. The huge advantage of the car is a helical suspension with DTM bolide parts. The suspension is possible to set to various modes (as regards the degree of tension and compression), which enables to modify the clearance according to your own driving style. The brakes – durable steel (the alternative – carbon-ceramics), and the road contact is enabled by 19- or 20” rims with the appropriate sport tires. As for the power unit program, the tuner made its best to give the audience at least a few options to choose from. Practically all of them are chip-tuned. The basic variant is a 1.8-liter TFSI with 160 bhp which is can be pumped to 200 and 240 bhp. The next variant is a 2.0-liter TDI which can be loaded to 170 or 200 bhp. The top variant – 3.0-liter TDI with 240 bhp, and the tuner can make it 282 (or 310) bhp. The max torque after the modification makes 610 Nm. The interior is typical of ABT Not many novelties here! The furnishing by the tuner has become slightly standardized recently. The standard set is carbon, leather, alcantara and aluminum. And, of course, the “rich” multimedia system with a play station. The prices haven’t been announced yet. Technical Summary:

Geiger has unveiled a 591-bhp Corvette Z06 Black Edition It’s been a long time since Geiger has showed such a powerful “anti-green” road monster. The green movement is gaining its power, but Geiger doesn’t care. The company added extra 100 bhp to the powerful of its own accord Chevrolet Corvette Z06. So, welcome the novelty of the summer season – the exclusive convertible Geiger Corvette Z06 Black Edition. It should be mentioned that despite the “greens” recently there have appeared a number of the American “peppers” in the heart of Europe – in Germany. The fact can be explained in a simple way – the “small and god-forsaken” dollar which in comparison to euro seems even smaller. The Europeans can afford the offshore product at comparatively low prices – put the car on a ferry and take it to Europe. If you want you can drive it immediately, but the is a better option – take it to Geiger, where your American will be pumped with “steroids” so that any native American will envy your brand-new muscle. So what did Geiger suggest for the 06? Firstly, it is the modernized 591-bhp 7-liter V8 with the max torque of 660 Nm. Not to 100 in 3.6 seconds and the max speed is 330 km/h. The recipe for such an engine is quite simple and typical: the powerful exhaust system, sporty shafts, high-durability cylinders, titan valves plus the new ECU software. As for the running gear, Geiger experts equipped the Corvette with a stiff helical chassis with lower (by 20 mm) clearance, high-performance braking system and custom rims in the 19- and 20-inch format. As for the exterior, the gem of the tuning kit is the deep black tint of the paintwork, and the aggressive compact body-kit. The prices on the new Geiger Corvette Z06 Black Edition have been announced yet. Technical Summary:
