Here's a rare find. A BMW Z4 E89 radically transformed by the Japan-based Rowen house. In a few words: extensive use of carbon fiber materials, big wheels and … LEDs.
A new front apron with splitter sits at the front (there are also the LEDs), the side skirts have been redesigned and the tips of the exhaust pipes are all titanium. If that carbon wing at the back was a tad bigger, the Z4 would be pretty reminiscent of a full-blown GT car.
We cannot omit stating the obvious that the wheels a

With a grand gesture of their own, Vorsteiner bid farewell to the E92 BMW series. It's the latest generation of GTRS programes – the Vorsteiner GTRS5 for the BMW M3. It's pretty much the same as the last one, the GTRS3, but Vorsteiner say that the difference is in the details.
The lower front bumper now has more vents for an even more efficient air-flow. The fins of the diffuser at the back longer than before thus providing greater downforce. There are also vertical vents on the sides of the

What constitutes having class? Wine and cheese, caviar? Or maybe golf... going to the opera every now and then? We don't know. If someone asks us to show up at a party we'll most probably go for our Hawaiian shirt, shorts and flip-flop gear. The one thing that would be on our minds however, will be our ride. There's much to choose from... in our alternate reality where we own Jay Leno's garage. Today though, we stumbled upon a prime candidate – A Mercedes-Benz Pagoda from the 60s. It has however

A John Cooper Works MINI Coupe is sufficiently fast enough, right? Of course it is – 211 hp, 280 Nm of peak torque and a 6.4 second run to the 60 mile an hour mark. But apparently, one such MINI recently did a lap on the Hockenheim Race Circuit with a time of 1:13.0 on slick tires. The event was a 2012 “Tuner Grand Prix” and was hosted by the “sport auto” magazine. That's pretty impressive, but AC Schnitzer believe, the Coupe can do better than that (it is after all a “tuner” prix).
That is when they brought out

An Audi RS6 Avant that has been touched by the skillful hand of MTM and then wrapped around with foil (increasingly popular these days) by Fostla.
By boosting the power up to 759 hp and 912 Nm of torque, MTM have created a significant distance from the “standard” RS6 which has “only” 571 hp and 650 Nm of torque coming from it's 5.0-liter V10 FSI Turbo (Gallardoesque) engine. That's why this one is actually called the Audi RS6...R. Anyway. Other non-stock features include the valve controlled

A yet another Audi with non-existent wheel housings. This one though is more subtle. It gets even more subtler when you look at the list of upgrades but hey, we rarely get news from JMS so we'll cherish what we have.
The program is intended for the A6 – the old one – Typ 4F (it's not even facelifted). There's a JMS apron for it available and a front lip spoiler (fits on all 4Fs excluding the S-line). The main feature here however, is the KW stainless steel coilover kit version 1 – responsible
