			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new redesigned Audi A6 (C7) has been spruced up with Abt Sportline’s tuning program that seems like having been almost tailor made to make the car good looking.  Adding to the enticing design, the new tuning provides the car with a new front spoiler and aerodynamic side skirts.</p>

<p>And that’s not all. The tuning program has also thrown in stuff like a trunk-mounted spoiler, a rear bumper insert, and a four-tailpipe sport exhaust system.</p>
<p>As if to complete the package, a wide selection of wheels in sizes from 19- to 21-inches have also been included.</p>
<p>The redesigned Audi A6 sports beneath the bonnet a 245 PS (180 kW / 241 hp) 3.0-liter TDI engine that can be outfitted with two performance packages.</p>
<p>As per the new tuning enhancements, it can have an addition of a &#8220;Power&#8221; kit that aids in the production of 282 PS (207 kW / 278 hp).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the &#8220;Power S&#8221; kit ups the output to 310 PS (228 kW / 306 hp) and 610 Nm (450 Nm) of torque.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A supremely modified Volkswagen Golf IV R32 has been unveiled by MTE. Modifications under the hood include the German tuner specializing in turbo conversions. There are installed turbo-plus intercooler along with larger injectors, modified cylinder head, forged pistons, high performance camshafts, and an optimized ECU.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/MTE-Volkswagen-Golf-IV-R32-1.jpg" alt="MTE Volkswagen Golf IV R32 1 MTE’s New Offering: Volkswagen Golf IV R32 Highly Modified" title="MTE’s New Offering: Volkswagen Golf IV R32 Highly Modified" width="570" height="380" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8472" /></p>
<p>All of this fine tweaking means that the car, with its twin-turbo 3.2-liter V6 pushing 2.2 bar of boost with a compression ratio of 7.8:1 produces 790 hp (589 kW / 801 PS) and 1200 Nm (885 lb-ft) of torque is capable of navigating the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds at 216 km/h (134 mph).</p>

<p>To handle the extra power generated, MTE added a Sachs two-disc sintered clutch in addition to a KW Coilover &#8216;Club Sport&#8217; suspension, semi-slick tires, and a high-performance braking system (with 360mm discs and six-piston Brembo calipers). Inspired by this beauty, car fans, speed fans, power rush addicts are all looking to see what MTE gives next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the auto world is excited about the arrival of the latest edition of its four-door flagship A8, Hofele design has gone ahead and released details of its tuning package for the 2010 model. There is a trimming kit both for the diesel and petrol versions where the 4.2-liter FSI V8 offering kicks the power up to 400PS with 475Nm of torque.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2010-Audi-A8-by-Hofele-Design-2.jpg" alt="2010 Audi A8 by Hofele Design 2 2010 Audi A8 gets a Hofele Design Trim" title="2010 Audi A8 gets a Hofele Design Trim" width="570" height="394" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7333" /></p>
<p>The diesel variant also gets a power hike where its TDi engine can now churn 395hp with up to 880Nm of torque. Extra power brings in better braking courtesy of larger ventilated steel disc brakes. The suspension has also been lowered (40 to 80mm) albeit, it returns to the standard levels when traveling at 80mph. Minor exterior modifications include a new front end that has larger air inlets along with front fender outlets and even the side sills have been redesigned. On the rear, the Hofele Design 2010 <a href="http://www.carblog.co.za/2010/01/12/all-new-2011-audi-a8-debuts-at-naias-in-detroit/">Audi A8</a> gets a remodeled bumper and a quad exhaust.</p>

<p>Monster World Rally championship is all set to welcome a new beast for the coming season-Monster Ford Fiesta-and it sure is an able contender. Dubbed the Monster Ford Fiesta rally car, it is based on the race winning European Rallycross Fiesta which was prepared by Olsbergs Motorsports Evolution. The beast is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L Duratec engine which can render 490hp at the max but the rally specified turbo-inlet restrictor restricts the output to 330hp. The monster is slated to compete in seven Rally America events and it will be Ken Block who will get behind the wheel in the Monster Fiesta.</p>

<p>The 2010 Mercedes E-Class W212 Sedan has just got better looks thanks to a new styling kit by German tuners Autotechnik + Tuning (ATT) that promises to bring the &#8220;pleasant original deluxe-sportster&#8221; looks that would take your eyes away with its aerodynamic changes. Speaking of changes it brings new spoilers at the front and back, front grill (that we don&#8217;t buy in, with the empty circle), and side skirts, with exhaust pipes hidden under the rear spoiler, for €6,452. On top of that, for another €3,869 you&#8217;re getting new 9&#215;20&#8243; or 10.5&#215;20&#8243; alloy wheels (that we don&#8217;t buy in) and Hankook S1 EVO high performance tires. A bit too much, don&#8217;t you think &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With less and less new models announced this time of the year, it&#8217;s the tuning houses around the globe that have kept the auto freaks entertained. Adding to the excitement is the Abt treatment for the latest Audi A5 Sportback.</p>

<p>Dubbed the AS5 kit for the A5 Sportback, the tuning includes a new front grille, rear wing insets, a rear skirt set and diamond cut edition wheels finished in high gloss (18, 19 and 20-inch sizes). Performance being a key for Abt, the engine has been modified to justify a thorough upgrade be it for the 2.0 TFSI variant or the range topping 3.0 TDI ABT Power S. That means that the 2.0 TFSI renders between 180 and 275hp, and 320Nm of torque, while the 3.0L puts out nothing less than 310hp and 610Nm of torque. Neat!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swiss tuning house FAB is a name normally associated with Mercedes but changing the convention. this time around, the crazy tuners have decided to work on the Porsche Panamera. On the outside, the FAB edition Panamera gets a new front end with larger air inlets, a circumferential front spoiler, new side skirting, a reworked rear spoiler, and not to miss the carbon fibre bonnet and the flared fenders. Special attention has been paid to aero dynamism and that is why a carbon fiber wing finds a place on the rear.</p>

<p>Handling of the car has been further enhanced by lowering the suspension. Under the hood is a 4.8-L turbo variant which subject to modifications can render up to 700 horses however the standard maximum sits at 500hp. FAB has hinted that it has more Porsche related products in the scheme of things for the future, the Panamera being just a beginning.</p>
