2019 marks the tenth aiversary of the Porsche Panamera, one of the weirdest and most interesting cars ever to come out of Germany. On this occasion we want to have a deeper look at this groundbreak...

More and more car makers are delving into the field of offering parts and accessories usually thought to be the realm of aftermarket specialists. This takes the bread right out of the tuners’ mouth, but for the consumers it is better since they get a factory-authorized upgrade. That is not the case with the2018 Nissan Titan pickup truck, which gets a factory-fitted suspension lift kit. The kit available for the Titan is developed by ICON Vehicle Dynamics, a well-known tuner and restomoder. The system they have devised for the 2018 Nissan Titan gives the truck an additional 3 inch of ground clearance. Now, a lift kit on a pickup truck serves more purposes than giving the vehicle a badass ...

But you won’t be having a hard time choosing between them because what LB-Works has just revealed is game over for the rest of them.Liberty Walk Lexus LC package made in collaboration with Artisan Spirits is the wildest, most extreme wide body kit yet.

We were quite intrigued when Wald Inteational, one of the top Japanese tuners of all time, released a preview of their Lexus LC kit. Now this package is ready and it looks magnificent. Of course, if you don’t like the strong Japanese flavor of these kits thenWald Lexus LC is not going to appeal to you. But the fans are going to love it. Wald Lexus LC package, available in Spot Line edition for 500 and 500h models, is a wide body affair. But unlike wide body kits from Germany and America, it is not in-your-face. The whole thing is designed to be subtle and exquisite and sophisticated, words that also describe the design of the car itself. Make no mistake. The styling kit is pretty out the...

90 grand is a lot of money for what’s, in its essence, a BMW 5 Series saloon. But then this is no ordinary saloon car. The new2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo is, in the tuner’s own words, the most affordable200 mph production car in the UK. Now that is some good justification! We have to point out the£89,000 is for the2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo sedan. The Estate version kicks off at£91,000. But as you may have already guessed, it is the fastest wagon out there. Powering both of these German monsters is a 608 horsepower Alpina-tuned BMW V8. This engine is altogether sweeter and more civilized than the one you get in BMW’s own M5. It is also capable ofgenerating 670 Nm (494 lbft) of torque, swelling ...

Every year we are treated to a whole bunch of new 911 models, but only a handful of them are interesting enough to warrant a close inspection. The 2018Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package is certainly one of those, a wing-less, manual version of the GT3 built for purists. Here we take a close look at this superb machine in detailed pictures and videos. The distinguishing feature of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package isa variable rear spoiler like the 911 Carrera in place of the regular GT3 large fixed wing. Being a pure sort of 911, the car features afour-litre naturally aspirated engine with 500 horsepower and460 Nm. Sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, that pow...

Along with the GT3 Touring Package, this year we also got a tighter, lighter version of the Carrera. It’s called thePorsche 911 Carrera T, a badge that harks back 1968, and it promises some old-school fun with features such asless weight, shorter transmission ratios from the manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock. Let’s take a deeper look at this cool sports car. Powering the 2018Porsche 911 Carrera T is atwin turbocharged 3.0 liter flat-six with 370 horsepower and450 Nm of torque. It enables the T to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 km/h.while manual gearbox is standard, PDK is available as an option. But 911 T...

Lack of big power is one of the characteristics of the Mazda MX-5 sports car. It’s deliberate, so as to make you work the engine and gearbox and find the intrinsic joy there is in that. But some people prefer more get up and go and for them British tuner BBR has a new turbo upgrade package that breathes more life into the MX-5’s tiny little heart. BBR Mazda MX-5 ND Stage 1 turbocharger upgrade for the1498cc SKYACTIV-G engine ups the power to210 bhp which is a staggering 81 bhp more the standard. It also bumps the torque197 lb.ft of torque (86lb.ft more than stock). The col thing about this upgrade is that the real torque still kicks in at fairly high rpm (above 3,000 rpm, peaking at...

The first day of the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show saw the debut of a new Jeep. It’s the long-awaited and much talked-about2018 Jeep Wrangler, boasting refreshed design, new technologies and a new turbocharged engine. The upgrades are meant to make the old Jeep ready for the future. In spite of that,2018 Jeep Wrangler still looks pretty much the same as did back in WWII, and it still has a ladder chassis. Both of those things are good. You wouldn’t want the iconic Wrangler to let go of its awesome traditional look in favor of some fancy schmancy new design and become yet another faceless SUV. And you don’t want it go with a unibody build because you expect it to be a proper, full-blo...

Not that it needed a special feature to set itself apart from the ordinary SUV crowd, but the new 2019 Infiniti QX50 gets one nonetheless. It’s the world’s first productionvariable compression ratio engine which promises greater levels of power and efficiency by constantly optimizing thecompression ratio. While it remains to be seen how this system actually works in the real world, on paper it seems pretty good. The2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine in the2019 Infiniti QX50 is said to have the power of a petrol and torque of a diesel engine.The engine is able to offer any compression ratio between 8:1 (typical for high performance engines) and 14:1 (used by many manufacturers for high ...

The king of all super fast SUVs is back and it’s stronger than ever! The new2018 Porsche Cayee Turbo is extremely awesome on so many different levels.

New boss, same as the old boss, only better. That is how you can describe the new2018 Porsche Cayee SUV. An untrained eye won’t notice any difference whatsoever over the previous model, but subtlety is the key here. The new Cayee is by far the most exquisite yet. So let’s not talk about the design and instead focus on what makes this car a great SUV. Here’s some facts and figures. 2018 Po...
