The Mercedes-AMG GT with its M178 twin turbo 4.0 liter V8 obviously is capable of big torque figures. Unlike other AMG's with this same basic twin turbo V8 architecture the AMG GT is equipped with a dual clutch transmission which makes tuning a bit different. ...Published on 11-09-2021 11:52 AM
Just a couple months back BimmerBoost reported on this kit and now the release date is officially here. This is a BMW S55 single turbo conversion based on the Garrett-1050 turbocharger that will likely be more of interest to European and specifically UK members. ...Published on 11-09-2021 11:23 AM
A Ford Bronco Raptor is coming as you already know. If you needed proof, here are photos of the test vehicle showing off its lifted suspension and massive 37-inch wheels. Yes, it looks incredibly aggressive as it could climb anything you put in front of it. ...Published on 11-09-2021 10:50 AM
Very nice results here from BMS on the M276 DELA 30 twin turbo V6 motor. This is a potent powerplant that shows strong aftermarket numbers but still somewhat flies under the radar. BMS fortunately gathered some useful tuning data along with the result of their intake. ...Published on 11-06-2021 12:42 PM
Dinan seems to be understanding we want data to substantiate their product claims (this rarely happened in the Steve Dinan Era). Recently, Dinan included supporting performance data to substantiate their performance claims for a new product release which is to be expected in this day and age. ...Published on 11-06-2021 12:37 PM
These type so stories will likely become more prevalent over the years but what in the world was the driver thinking? Why did they drive their car knowing the battery was about to run out and they could end up stranding not only themselves but other drivers? ...Published on 11-06-2021 11:32 AM
Things are progressing very nicely for M2 Motor Technik on the B9 Audi S5 turbo upgrade front. You may recall that M2 Motor Technik bought a B9 Audi S5 shop car and decided to skip past the hybrid turbo upgrade stage and go big. Real big. ...Published on 11-04-2021 06:51 PM
A great video here from Fabspeed who picked up their new Porsche 992 GT3 development car. While the GT3 is a very efficient platform with high specific output that does not mean there is not room to improve over the OEM exhaust. ...Published on 11-04-2021 03:41 PM
It is now official. Bugatti and Rimac are joining together with Rimac holding a 55% share of Bugatti Rimac. Porsche is a 45% partner but do not forge they also hold 22% of Rimac as well along with other partners. ...Published on 11-04-2021 11:50 AM
The Volkswagen VR6 motor is known for making big power and it is a popular swap into several Volkswagen and Audi models. Often paired to a big single turbocharger VR6 motors are known to make power well into the quadruple digit range. ...Published on 11-04-2021 12:09 AM
ItalianRP (rods and pistons) is obviously as the name implies an Italian connecting rod and piston manufacturer. BenzBoost noticed several strong AMG builds running their engine internals and namely their Platinum line. ...Published on 11-03-2021 07:13 PM
The Macan GTS is now the range topper of the Macan range. That's right, there is no longer a Macan Turbo model but the GTS still features turbocharging. As a matter of fact twin turbos are included as it shares the EA839 2.9 liter twin turbo V6 you know well from the B9 Audi RS4 and RS5 models. ...Published on 11-03-2021 02:22 PM
You obviously know how important weight is when it comes to automotive performance. Dropping pounds off the car is great but even better is if you can drop unsprung weight or rotating mass. Especially when that dropped mass is right at the wheels. ...Published on 11-03-2021 12:34 PM
The Porsche Taycan styling certainly elicits many opinions. One way to improve the looks of practically any car is lowering it with a nice set of rims and adding some aero pieces to give it a more aggressive look. ...Published on 11-03-2021 10:34 AM
This seems a bit fast but Audi often does quick facelifts to keep things fresh. The D5 generation Audi A8 still feels new but Audi decided to give the interior and exterior a mild but very nice looking update. ...
