Brabus has come up with a new tuning program the twin-turbo V8 engines, which are incorporated in Mercedes CL550/S550 and CL63/S63 AMG models.

For those who own a Maserati GranTurismo S and could use a bit more power (and more aggressive looks), then Novitec Tridente has it for you. Their latest tuning program would turn your GranTurismo S into a super-car unlike any other on the market. The upgrade adds to the ECU and exhaust to bring the total power of the 4.7 liter V8 engine to an immense 600bhp. But what can you expect from the wicked folks at Novitec, who’s been doing Maserati Quattroporte mods for some time now? An undeniably sexy vehicle that is nothing below fantastic, we’d sure love to get behind the wheel of this beast. [via gtspirit.com]

We’ve always been impressed with what tuners from Carlsson come up with, but the latest W212 E-Class Tuning Program definitely proves as a disappointment for us. Maybe it’s the 20-inch wheels or the side lines that got our negative vote, but bottom line we’re not going to buy it (as if we’d afford it – haha).

Expected to be showed off at the 2009 Bodensee Tuning World Auto Show in Germany, the “upgraded” W212 is going to feature a vertically-running LED daytime lights, a stainless steel mesh grille, a redesigned front apron, while the rear got an integrated diffuser, a spoiler and some interesting steel tailpipes. However, there is something we like about it. The interior. It features a set of brushed aluminum pedals, Alcantara leather, a white illuminated Carlsson logo and aluminum door locking pins that charm you at a first glance. [WCF has more details]
