Press Release

TOPCAR Porsche Panamera Stingray, which made its debut at the renowned supercars fair Top Marques Monaco 2010 in April, has been in great demand at present. To maintain the highest workmanship standards and excellent quality of the products all our car performance packages are worked out to the last detail.

Being aimed to a perfect result TOPCAR specialists help the customers in searching that unique but recognizable and inimitable appearance of their cars trying to incarnate a vision in a car and to create the most entire reflection of the personality of the car owner.

To prove the fact the Porsche Panamera appearance by TOPCAR will be available in three editions. Three distinct cars have got three distinct natures.

Black Matt Edition

The car obtains menacing appearance. Even at first glance you can't give up the idea that its matte finish and the invasive lines have adopted an uncanny resemblance to invisible fighter jet. A lower clearance and matte finish make possible to achieve the analogy.

To highlight the main shape-generating lines some elements are painted gloss black: the front lip spoiler, front bumper inserts, ventilation ‘gills' on the bonnet, front fender scoops, side skirts, window trims, both rear wings, the tailgate trim and rear bumper diffuser. Tanned rear lights and black housing headlights give the concluding chord of the strong shape. To make the inner world sing in harmony TOPCAR offers the masterly hand crafted leather interior of the ideal quality.

White Edition

The newborn Panamera has obtained astonishing lines full of grace and dignity for its new appearance. The leading principle of this car is to sing along to its wealthy and self-satisfied sole owner. The car remains distinctive at any time of day or night and in any weather conditions. To emphasize the white gloriole some car trim parts were painted black.

TOPCAR also recommends a set of specially designed and produced black multi-part rims (R21) with the white lip. The white leather interior allied to the exciting design make the ‘Panamera in White' truly unforgettable.

Carbon Grey Edition

It is a fascinating driving machine and the sporty pinnacle of the TOPCAR brand.

The car embodied some player personality traits: gorgeous looks, fearsome performance, racing success and (relative) civility on the road. The car itself painted Carbon Grey and its new dressing mostly made of Visible Carbon Fiber: the front lip spoiler, front bumper inserts, the bonnet, front fender scoops, side skirts, window trims, both rear wings, the tailgate trim and rear bumper diffuser.

The interior is embellished with Visible Carbon Fiber interior parts: the steering wheel trim and paddle, dash and center console trims, door trims etc.

The matched Nappa leather interior decorated with fancy stitches and welt cords combines comfort and style, with incredible practicality.

TOPCAR also provides a set of specially designed and produced multi-part rims (R21).

In order to achieve better performance the new Porsche Panamera engine will be juiced up and get an output from 550 to 750 hp.

These three fresh cars are aiming to deliver driving excitement, stylish and innovative design. TOPCAR's vehicles have been designed to cater for the various and varied demands of modern day drivers.

The demand for TOPCAR's products from all over the world keeps growing and it is now possible to see the renovated cars on the roads of Monaco, Germany and Switzerland.

Arrivederci 612 Scaglietti!

NOVITEC ROSSO Refines the Ferrari 2+2-Seater

2+2-seaters have a long and illustrious tradition at Ferrari. The 612 Scaglietti seamlessly continued this tremendous success story since its debut in the fall of 2003. To make this extraordinary automobile even more exclusive and to add an even higher level of customization NOVITEC ROSSO now offers new accessories such as a custom-tailored tire/wheel combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches, a power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW, a stainless-steel sport exhaust system, new taillight design and upgrades for the interior.

Wheels make a car and for a Ferrari the best is just good enough. The NOVITEC ROSSO suspension specialists have developed custom versions of the three-piece NF3 alloy wheels for the Italian sports car.

The new wheels feature a striking design with five double spokes and polished outer flanges. Contrary to the 19-inch production wheels, the 612 Scaglietti in NOVITEC ROSSO trim sports a combination of size 9Jx20 wheels in front and size 12.5Jx21 rims on the rear axle.

This measure benefits not only the driving dynamics of the car but also and foremost the coupe's appearance. The staggered wheels further emphasize the wedge-shaped design of the two-door car.

In the P Zero tire technology partner Pirelli offers the perfect ultra-high-performance tires for this tire/wheel combination that makes optimal use of the available space in the wheel wells Tires in size 275/30 ZR 20 on the front axle provide enormous grip during fast cornering and hard braking. Tires in size 355/25 R 21 on the rear axle allow even higher cornering speeds and provide maximum traction.

The exclusive look can be further upgraded with black NOVITEC ROSSO lamps. The complete package comprises the four round taillights, the reflectors and the side markers.

Further cornerstones of the NOVITEC ROSSO program for the 612 Scaglietti are a power increase and an even sportier exhaust note. The inner workings of the V12 engine with a displacement of 5,748 cm³ remain untouched. The power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW at 7,290 rpm is the product of a newly calibrated engine management system and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

The tuning gives the V12 engine an even crisper response and lets it rev up even faster. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 609 Nm at 5,300 rpm. A top speed of more than 325 km/h and a sprint time for 0 - 100 km/h of just 3.9 seconds make the 2+2-seater an even more dominant sports car.

The NOVITEC ROSSO sport exhaust system is an integral part of the power increase and produces a truly delightful exhaust note. The NOVITEC ROSSO exhaust is easily distinguished by its four 90-mm tailpipes cut at an angle.

NOVITEC ROSSO upgrades the four-seat interior according to customers' personal preferences. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel comes in any color imaginable. But that's not all: Customers can also freely choose the steering wheel's material as well as the thickness of the rim. The rim is flattened at the bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle.

Every NOVITEC ROSSO interior is characterized by its masterful precision finish and its striking colors. But NOVITEC ROSSO realizes not only Ferrari owners' personal material and color selections, it also custom-tailors the seat to each customer's body measurements. Special requests such as for seats with even more lateral support or a lowered seat position for especially tall drivers round out the interior customization program.

G-Power BMW M3 GT2-S And Tornado-CS



The G-Power reveals two new exciting tuned up vehicles to honor the BMW Motorsport team for their win at the 2010 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race.



The G-Power BMW M3 Tornado CS also comes with a new carbon fiber body kit which considerably

reduces the weight of the car. The G-Power BMW M3 Tornado CS features a new front skirt, four wings and a rear skirt, a rear spoiler and diffuser. The G-Power BMW M3 Tornado CS sits on 20 inch rims.



G-POWER was also able to make further savings in the wheel rims. All-new forged SIVERSTONE CLUBSPORT alloy rims measuring 9.0 X 20 inches and 10.5 X 20 inches for the TORNADO CS, and 3-part SILVERSTONE RS forged wheels measuring 9.0 X 20 and 11.5 X 20 inches on the GT2 S significantly reduce unsprung mass, thus delivering better acceleration and greater cornering agility. The TORNADO CS is guaranteed firm grip with the tarmac courtesy of 255/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres, while the G-POWER GT2 S is fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup sports rubber measuring 245/30 R 20 and 315/25 R 20.



This allows the GT2 S to sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the Tornado CS.  0-200 km/h for the GT2 S was not revealed, but its sister model hits that mark in 11.8 seconds.  Keeping the Tornado CS on the road are forged Silverstone ClubSport wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires.  The 20-inch wheels measure nine-inches wide at the front, and 10.5-inches at the rear.  The GT2 S uses Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires wrapped around three-piece Silverstone RS wheels measuring 9x20 front and 11.5 rear.



The full price on the G-Power M3 GT2 S begins at €139,495, exclusive of taxes and paperwork.  The retail price of the G-Power M3 Tornado CS shown in the photos was not disclosed.

Press Release



M3 Clubsport: 600 hp strong G-POWER M3 GT2 S and M3 TORNADO CS

G-POWER congratulates BMW Motorsport on its first place in this year's 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. And, on this race weekend, it presents two road-legal BMW M3 Clubsport models in homage to the BMW works team:

G-POWER M3 TORNADO CS / G-POWER M3 GT2 S

  • 600 hp / 441 kW at 7,800 r/min (+ 180 hp / 132 kW)
  • 580 Nm at 5,300 r/min (+ 180 Nm)
  • Top speed: > 320 km/h with 6-speed manual
  • Top speed: > 330 km/h with 7-speed DCT
  • 0-100 km/h: TORNADO CS <>
  • 0-200 km/h: TORNADO CS <>
  • Supercharger system SK II CS - starting at € 10,800.00 plus tax, plus titanium exhaust system and installation
  • Complete vehicle M3 GT2 S - starting at € 139,495.00 plus tax

More than a quarter of a century ago, the history of G-POWER began with the modification of BMW 02 models for competition use. Today, this tradition is carried forward by the G-POWER Motorsport Division established at the beginning of 2010. The function of this newly founded department includes comprehensive care of our motorsport customers, as well as the development of the associated "sports equipment". The spectrum ranges from reduced-weight and increased-performance road-legal M3 models for "private" track laps to full-blooded racing versions of the M3 with dry weight down to 1,300 kg and output of more than 700 hp, complete with all the associated kit required by private motorsports teams.

Spectators at this year's 24-hour race at the Nürburgring had the chance to admire the first creation of the G-POWER Motorsport Division. The G-POWER M3 GT2 S is aimed specifically at customers looking for a vehicle along the lines of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but have thus far been unable to find one in the BMW product line-up - thoroughbred racing technology combined with exceptional performance and fully road legal.

In answer to this demand, we present the G-POWER M3 TORNADO CS as the civilian version of the imposing G-POWER M3 GT2 S. When it comes to performance, both vehicles rely on the mighty SK II CS supercharger system. Following intensive development work, starting with CAD development, and followed by prototype build and extensive test driving and hot weather testing in the United Arab Emirates, this system sets new benchmarks in performance and quality. At the heart of the supercharger system is the high-performance ASA T1-522 radial compressor, which also runs in a similar format in the ALPINA B6 GT3 race car. A dual-flow carbon air intake, a substantial cast aluminium charge air cooler and a cast aluminium airbox provide the fundamentals enabling the maximum charge pressure of 0.5 bar to generate output of 600 hp and 580 Nm. In order that the increased output remains weight neutral, G-POWER uses a titanium exhaust system that delivers a considerable reduction in both back pressure and weight with its manifold and 2 x 100 dcpi metal catalytic converters. The weight advantage versus the series production exhaust system is no less than 26 kg.

The engine pampering session with G-POWER is all it takes to set the G-POWER Clubsport variants apart from the production standard. A never-ending supply of torque is the name of the game once the forced induction M3 engine stretches its legs out of the mid rev range to storm all the way to the limiter as if fired from a catapult.

At the same time, G-POWER also gets to work on the flab, placing the BMW M3 on a strict weight loss regime. This is where the G-POWER GT2 S comes into its own, with a full carbon body kit bearing the current GT2 design. The front skirt, all four wings and the rear skirt are all replaced by ultra-lightweight carbon elements. A carbon front lip and the multi-part carbon rear spoiler also improve aerodynamic downforce. On the G-POWER M3 TORNADO CS, a carbon spoiler lip and rear diffuser make for reduced lift. A particularly nice touch is the running lights integrated into the rear diffuser.

G-POWER was also able to make further savings in the wheel rims. All-new forged SIVERSTONE CLUBSPORT alloy rims measuring 9.0 X 20 inches and 10.5 X 20 inches for the TORNADO CS, and 3-part SILVERSTONE RS forged wheels measuring 9.0 X 20 and 11.5 X 20 inches on the GT2 S significantly reduce unsprung mass, thus delivering better acceleration and greater cornering agility. The TORNADO CS is guaranteed firm grip with the tarmac courtesy of 255/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres, while the G-POWER GT2 S is fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup sports rubber measuring 245/30 R 20 and 315/25 R 20.

Weight neutral, yet highly effective, is the G-POWER "CLUBSPORT" suspension package. It optimises the BMW M3's road manners at race track level and encompasses a coilover suspension that is independently adjustable for both compression and rebound, a stabiliser kit for the front and rear axles, as well as support bearings that enable correction of camber or caster.

On the inside of the vehicle, G-POWER has swapped the series production front seats for carbon racing buckets that not only support the driver in his battle with centrifugal forces, but are also each 12 kg lighter than their standard counterparts. Just like that, another 24 kg disappear. The G-POWER M3 GT2 S also goes without its rear bench, while the interior is upgraded with an individual G-POWER leather trim package. Leather and Alcantara applications in G-POWER orange with blue stitching give the sporty and spartan interior a touch of class and a luxurious feel.

Overall, the G-POWER weight loss program for the M3 GT2 S adds up to around 150 kg, bringing the dry weight down to less than 1,500 kg. It goes without saying that the supercharged 600 horses take this in their stride. The GT2 S handles the dash from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The G-POWER M3 TORNADO CS does the same trip in 4.3 seconds and from 0-200 km in 11.8 seconds. The top speed for both vehicles is limited by transmission ratios. With the 6-speed manual it stands at more than 320 km/h and with the 7-speed DCT at more than 330 km/h.

G-POWER:

G-POWER was established in 1983 and has ever since exclusively focused on tuning BMW automobiles. In 2008, the brand celebrated its 25-year anniversary and today, it is one of the most renowned providers on the global market. By developing the world-wide strongest versions of the most important BMW engines in-house, G-POWER significantly stands out from its competitors. G-POWER holds various world records and its 750 hp strong BMW M5 Hurricane RS is the fastest limousine in the world.

Superchips BMW 135i Can Get 360hp


Superchips have released their new performance boosting ECU remap for BMW's 135i Coupe / Convertible.

Superchips has upgraded the 135i’s power from a measured standard output of 315 hp to 360 hp, with a maximum power gain of 49 hp at 5,989 rpm. At the same time, the ECU remap brings the BMW’s torque up from a tested 394 Nm to 456 Nm a 3,359 rpm.

Superchips says that this kit doubles the joy of driving this little beast, specially as it drops the 0 to 60 mph sprint time to 5.6 seconds. But because the speed limiter has not been changed, it still can’t do more than 155 mph.


The price: £445.00 including VAT (€515) and Superchips offers a very relieving 12-month/30,000 mile guarantee, lest you're worried about your BMW dealer getting upset at you messing with their work of art.


Press Release

SUPERCHIPS UNLEASHES THE BMW 135i'S REAL DRIVING MACHINE
  • Dealer fit ECU remap boosts performance by 49 bhp / 70 Nm of torque
  • Peak performance figures increase to 360 bhp / 456 Nm
  • Added pace and driveability for BMW 1-series flagship

Buckingham, United Kingdom, 20th May 2010

Thanks to its combination of small size and powerful 3.0-litre six
cylinder twin turbocharged engine, BMW's 135i has attracted a loyal
following amongst owners and the motoring press.

Which is why Buckingham based Superchips Ltd, the market leading
specialist in performance electronic tuning, is pleased to unveil a
performance boosting ECU remap for the 135i.

The result of extensive investigation into the BMW's Siemens MSD ECU
parameters, Superchip's highly experienced technicians successfully
identified several performance enhancement opportunities with the original
factory settings, enabling the company to refine the 135i's ECU map to meet
the needs of the BMW driving enthusiast who demands a sharper, more exciting
drive.

Careful optimisation of ignition, fuelling and turbo boost settings via
combination of extensive chassis dyno testing and road validation has
produced a Superchips remap that elevates the performance of the 135i onto a
different plane.

As measured on its in house four wheel drive chassis dyno', the
Superchips upgrade boosts the BMW 135i's peak power from a tested standard
output of 315 bhp, to a mighty 360 bhp, with a maximum power gain of 49 bhp
at 5989 rpm.

The Superchips ECU remap also significantly enhances the 135i's torque
output, rising from a measured 394 Nm to an impressive 456 Nm at just 3359
rpm, with maximum gain of 70 Nm at just 3267 rpm.

Compared to the standard BMW 135i, the Superchips upgraded car produces
peak torque over 1000 rpm lower down in the rev range, making it not only
ultimately faster, but also significantly easier to drive.

Although not yet tested against the clock, the Superchips remapped BMW
135i is expected to better the standard car's 5.3 second 0-60 mph sprint
time, although for safety reasons the 155 mph speed limiter is left
untouched.

The Superchips BMW 135i ECU remap also scores at the pumps - when driven
on a like for like basis with the standard car owners will experience no
fuel consumption penalty, despite the extra performance.

Installation of the Superchips ECU remap entails customers visiting one
of approximately 100 Superchips dealerships in the UK who will undertake the
remap procedure.

Customers can be assured the Superchips conversion is covered by a full
Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000
supplementary full vehicle warranty.

Suitable for both manual and automatic transmission variants of BMW 135i
produced from 2007 onwards, the Superchips ECU remap is available now both
directly from Superchips and its UK dealer network, priced at £445.00
including VAT @ 17.5%.

Superchips - don't compromise, optimise.


Audi S4 tuned by Avus Performance


Avus Performance has unveiled their version of the popular Audi S4. Power on the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine is up from 329 bhp to 424 bhp.

In order to give the driving dynamics even better qualities, a thread spring kit was built in that allows adjusting the depth more individually, however still maintaining adjusting possibilities of the Magnetic Ride chassis. The contact to the road is made by 9×20 inch big, 3-part CC-line rims in connection with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo wheels in 255/30/20. To expedite them accurately, the engine performance was adjusted accordingly. Instead of the standard 33 PS, 430 PS are on now.

The aerodynamic package includes a new grille, rear diffuser, and front blade all with a glossy black finish which can be changed to a carbon finish if the customer so chooses. The back of the Audi S4 will see a whole new set of stainless steel mufflers with the tail pipe variant RS4/RS6-look in matte black.

Exterior highlights are mirror caps, front grill, front bumper blades and back diffuser were painted in shiny black.

Press Release

A new project of Avus Performance is the sporty version of the popular mid-range Audi. Meant is the S4. In this case it is about a Suzuka-grey limousine that attracts attention by nature.
