Partnering with Continental Tires, they showcased the H50 V10 Coupe based on the E92 Coupe, introduced last year with the same modified M5 V10 producing 550hp. The Coupe uses a seven-speed SMG transmission and top speed is 199mph. |  Consequently, Hartge fitted...  Consequently, Hartge fitted big brakes, a reinforced rear axle and adjustable suspension. The exterior is complemented by 20" Hartge Classic 2 wheels, body kit and vented hood. |  Also on display was Hartge's...  Also on display was Hartge's H6 Compressor based on the 650i.

The exterior benefits from an air dam with muscular front kidney grilles as well as 21" wheels. |  Finally, Hartge introduced...  Finally, Hartge introduced its Z30 Biturbo. It was under construction before the 335i Coupe was launched, so the tuner used a block similar to the 335i and a 330i head in the Z4 3.0. |  The motor safely produces...  The motor safely produces 380hp at 0.9bar boost. To complete the package, Hartge added signature brakes, aerodynamics and interior. www.hartge.de, www.turnermotorsport.com |  Of the new products that were...  Of the new products that were launched by aftermarket light manufacturer in.pro, we liked the Mk5 GTI headlamps with LED city lights. There were also some interesting smoked and clear tail lights. To prove the Mk3 Golf isn't going out of style, in.pro premiered new headlights with a Mk5 look. www.in-pro.com |  We started seeing these big...  We started seeing these big noses last year, and their popularity continues with Pro Street Carstyling Concepts. We approached the B6 Passat from the rear and were impressed by its widebody. Even the chrome wheels and big wing seemed to work. |  To be honest, we weren't prepared...  To be honest, we weren't prepared for that flat nose. It does make a statement though. A B5.5 Passat wagon alongside it had a similarly unfortunate face, but the bser hood, shaved handles, black roof and shaved rear worked much better. www.pro-street-tuning.de |  Pogea Racing presented an...  Pogea Racing presented an E-class wagon with a CLS front end. It was achieved using an OEM hood, carbon fenders, CLS headlights plus Porsche 997 indicators and fogs. It also had carbon skirts, and carbon covers for the door handle, mirror, roof, grille and license plate. There are also carbon mirror caps with LED indicators from the new TT. |  The Pogea TT had a Rotrex...  The Pogea TT had a Rotrex supercharger and a K27 turbo blowing into the 1.8T. Up to 4000rpm the supercharger produces 2bar, then the turbo kicks in and both work up to redline to hold 2.1bar and develop 600hp. The system runs off the stock ECU after reprogramming. The front end of the TT is carbon and incorporates the new Audi grille. There's a four-piece carbon rear wing and carbon central exhaust housing on the custom rear bumper that relocates the license plate. It also uses Porsche GT2 RS 380mm brake rotors with Gallardo eight-piston calipers on custom carriers. These sit behind 19x8.5" Gallardo wheels and are supported by KW V3 suspension. www.pogea-racing.com | |
