Volkswagen Fox by RDX Racedesign

The Volkswagen Fox may not be on the top of your list for an aerodynamic make-over, but RDX Racedesign caters for a niche market of Fox fans. RDX designed a new front spoiler with integrated grille, side sills and a new rear apron to give the rather conservative small car a brand new look.

The RDX badgeless front end lends the Fox with a Golf GTI-look while the new Audi S6 daylight running lights are an optional extra. The side sills and rear diffuser match perfectly and RDX has left the rear bumper without tailpipe cut-outs, leaving that to the discretion of their customers.

The body kit is fully TÜV certified and approved and costs just over Euro 615.

Mercedes SLR Mclaren 740hp by Renntech

When we first heard of the Mercedes SLR Mclaren 722, we all licked our lips at the prospect of a 722 horsepower engine, but when the final figure of 650hp was released it left a sour taste in our mouth. Renntech soon put that sweet taste back with their own tuning package which boosted the supercar's power up to where it should be at 722 horses, and now by popular demand the tuning house has pumped yet more ponies out of the 5.4-liter supercharged engine bringing total power up to 740hp

For the upgraded tuning package Renntech have re-worked the ECU software and added a less restrictive motorsports-style exhaust system to get the extra ponies to the new Renntech Signature 10-spoke, 3 piece performance wheels.


For an extra bit of added spice the tuner has also provided a nice little video in which you can hear the engine.

Audi Q7 Street Rocket by JE Design

JE Design has issued their second interpretation of the Audi Q7. The Q7 Street Rocket represents a toned down less obese looking body package compared to its Q7 Wide Body predecessor, just without all of the bulbous overhangs such as the wide body fender flares.

Looking closely between the two kits the Street Rocket sheds the excessive wide body fender and quarter panel wheel arch flares. As a result, the front bumper lower spoiler gets redesigned to fit the new width dimensions of the body and the rear bumper gets simplified as well in the same fashion. However, the overall design details of the front and rear bumpers remains the same. Gone are the roof spoiler extensions which extend down the side of the D-pillar. Sporting a brandy wine color the interior gets splashed with matching red accents and stitching.

Overall, this looks like a less bloated version which is a big improvement.

630hp Porsche 911 Turbo Based Hamann Stallion

Until the launch of the 530hp GT2, the Porsche 911 Turbo was the most powerful 911 on the market with 480hp but the goodfellas at Hamann have set out to put the Turbo model back in its place at the top of the scale with the Hamann Stallion boasting a total power output of 630hp.

The Hamann engineers set to work on the 3.6-liter Biturbo engine with a new stainless steel exhaust system with metal catalytic converters, sports air strainer and new motor managementm but the cream of the crop is the two larger variable nozzle turbochargers(VNC).

Hamann have thrown the book at the aerodynamic aspects of the vehicle for the ultimate performance in which the roofline has been been expensively lowered with the pillars and windows reduced by up to 8cm. Additional road grip is further enhanced with the road hugging body kit featuring the unmissable huge rear wing and 20inch three-part aluminium wheels.


The performance upgrades result in an impressive 0-60mph time of 3.3seconds knocking sixth tenths of a second off the time of the regular model, maximum speed now stands at 359km/h. It will be interesting what Hamann can do with this machine once Porsche's new double-clutch PDK system enters the Turbo.
