Full-scale discussions of sense and nonsense of all SUVs are near to the end but without any tangible result because the sales figures of this very noble vehicle (if they are actually used as such) from Ingolstadt, Munich, Stuttgart or Zuffenhausen are still unexpectedly high. The team led by Marc Reilly, head of the MR Car Design Company from Erftstadt, recently has chosen an Audi Q7 for reconstruction in order to allow the drivers to float on a cloud.

Aforementioned Q7 has been subjected to additional modification of daytime running lights from 2008 to 2010 levels, installation of LED indicator strip and performance improvement, so this noble racer is very close to new recently face-lifted model. The cost of such upgrade is 6999 Euro.

The software optimization of the 4.2-liter TDIs by MR Car Design from 326 to now 374 hp – while the maximum torque rises from 760 to currently 870 Nm – and withdrawal of tiresome Vmax lock add additional 799 Euros. Use of double-pack K & N air filter adds 160 Euros.

Road adherence in this case is provided by 22-inch alloy wheels MRGT22 in 9.5 inch width and Icebear W300 tires in dimension of 265/35-22 at a price of 2599 Euro total, with deep intervention in the electronics that results to extra 299 Euro. If the interior of the Q7 is also important for you, this can be helped by modification of steering wheel from the current Audi RS6. The price for this is available to interested parties on request.

So, with such Q-Seven-league boots, one can for example go to the land of polar bears and will not be particularly noticeable among the funny animals.

Again and again, the close-nit team headed by Benno Senner, president of the Company Senner Tuning AG, address to vehicles from Audi. This time the lucky car is A1 1.4 T-FSI, the smallest vehicle of this family, which has found the way to dealers not long ago. In the series of 90 kW or 122 hp, it has a maximum torque of 200 Nm.

The engine is one of the starting points of the reconstruction presented here. The function of the factory installed air filter now is performed by BMC OTA Power Airbox. To improve performance, a Chipbox was built as a performance-enhancing module, thereby at least 115 kW or 156 hp and torque of 250 Nm are available now. In electronics, a power converter is responsible for the gas signal amplification. For ordinary steam handling, Senner Tuning provides the stainless steel exhaust system in the right / left version including silencer and tailpipes, each 90 millimeters in diameter. As it might be expected from SENNER: of course with EC-approval.

Vital road adherence is provided by black-polish rims Corniche Monza in dimension of 8×18 inches combined with wheels. The S1 Evo Tyres are from Hankook. In addition, in-house sport springs provide a medium lowering by 35 millimeters.

The above mentioned modification adds foreseeable 4590 Euros. This amount includes the necessary TÜV registrations and additional warranty. Furthermore, the team from Ingelheim also offers essential coilover with custom height, rebound and compression adjustment, various parts of carbon, refinement of the interior or conversion to LED rear lights. The prices for these options are available on request.
Now you only have to enter, turn the key and go on…

Or do you even want to buy a “new” car by Senner Tuning? Sales of new cars and mediation services are also part of the repertoire of tuning professionals from Ingelheim. Leasing and financing complete the palette of offerings.

What else do you want?

The brand of ANDERSON GERMANY is known worldwide, if it matters the tuning of sports cars or luxury sedans. With its new tuning program for Audi R8 the Dusseldorf enterprise offers some sportive accessories and an exciting car body design.

According to the powerful appearance of the R8, ANDERSON GERMANY use serial light alloy rims dimensioned 8.5×19 and 11×19 with tires 235-3519 / 295-30 R19. The special particularity of these one part wheels is the carbon coating of the lateral surfaces and the bordering in racing orange.

Nevertheless, the basic principle of ANDERSON GERMANY is its producer quality right down to the minutest detail. This is shown also in an impressionating way by the R8 performance kit. The upgrade contains also a valve commanded sports exhaust system, warranting for a weight lowering of 17 Kg (37 lb.), with racing cats and sports air filter, as well as a new engine power management. Thereof result 585 HP (525 HP serial), and the final velocity additionally increases by about 12 kmph/7.5 mph in comparison with the serial values.

The appearance of this impressionating car is dominated by its sportive-dynamic look – from outside, as well as in the interior. The ANDERSON GERMANY aerodynamic kit comprehends a brutal carbon front apron and rear spoiler for the downforce improvement, warranting for a persuading look and optimizing in the same time the aerodynamics of the vehicle by its agile design. Furthermore, the exterior racing packet is topped by a carbon diffusor, rear window bordering and carbon mirrors.

The interior shows the gathered since many years experience of the ANDERSON GERMANY manufacturers. So, among others, the high class matt carbon-leather equipment with orange rhombus-shaped seams and the carbon interior packet (door trims, radio frame, ashtray, gear stick frame, hand brake knob, steering wheel) give a unique fine feeling.

Audi refiner MTM drives 312 km/h with the TTRS in Nardo
Sophisticated technique to ensure best driving values
Complete package including wheels and brakes

How much engine performance do you need to break 300 km/h? The ones who think that this needs more than 500 bhp will learn that this is not correct. The TTRS with 472 bhp by MTM from Wettstetten / Ingolstadt was GPS measured to be 312 km/h at test runs on the Nardo highspeed track in Italy at the beginning of September 2010. For many other tuners a hard nut to crack despite of increased efficiency.

“It’s not decisive what we measure on the dynamometer but how many bhp you get on the road” says Roland Mayer, owner and Head of the technical Department of MTM. The right master plan has a bigger effect on driving dynamics, acceleration times and maximum speed than the search for a maximum in performance values.

In the case of the MTM TTRS this means: modification of the control unit, MTM turbo charger and a complete new MTM exhaust system from turbo.

The result: 472 bhp (347 kW) with 7.000 rpm/min, a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h – driven in Nardo with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres on 20-inch bimoto wheels.

The MTM TTRS with 472 bhp doesn’t has to fear the competition of other tuners, who are still fighting with 300 km/h and can’t reduce 0-100 km/h time under 4.0 seconds despite a plus of 30 bhp.

MTM is one of the leading and at the same time the fastest of all Audi refiners worldwide. Within the last years engineers from Wettstetten showed best values:

MTM RS6 R with a top speed of 344,2 km/h is the fastest station wagon in the world. A MTM customer drove this record in Nardo in 2009. Moreover the fastest Bentley GPS measured 331 km/h in 2008 is from Roland Mayers workshop.

The TT Bimoto with two engines set as well a new record by driving 393,6 km/h in Papenburg in 2007. Today the Bimoto is still holding the track record for street-legal cars in Nardo driven by Florian Gruber. Nardo test drives under extreme conditions are an important part of MTM development work. Outside temperature was temporary at 35 degrees.

The costs for the upgrade from 380 to 472 bhp are about 14.500 € incl. tax and installation. The price for 20-inch bimoto forged rims, 15-inch brakes with eight-piston calipers (front axle) is 9.973 € incl. tax and installation.

Right now MTM is working on an over 500 bhp version.

What a thrilling undertaking it would be to drive the Audi R8 Spyder with 600 HP in even more impressive style! The company Sport-Wheels from the city of Hürth, located south of Cologne is under the creative leadership of Christoph Poensgen. Christoph Poensgen has gladly taken on the task of making this wish come true and turning it into a reality. The result is enough to make those with weak constitutions buckle at the knees.

We have given this naturally well-equipped car suitable wheelwork. We have chosen the legendary OZ Ultraleggera HTL and installed 8.5×20 inch wheels with 235/30-20 Conti Sport Contact in the front and 11×20 inch wheels with 305/25-20 in the back. The price of this amazing wheel/tyre combinaton amounts to 4 400 Euros.

To optimise the connection between the vehicle and the asphalt without limiting the driving comfort, we have added a crank angle screw thread of the model 3 HLS4, which costs 7 349 Euros.

A variable plus in power has been made possible by the team from Sport-Wheels: Level 1 is comprised of a change in motor software, increasing the car’s capacity to 565 HP instead of the original 525 HP as well as 560 Nm compared to the previous 530 Nm. Level 1 can be bought for 1 499 Euros.

In the R8 presented here, Level 2 was realised with the following components: An ironman muffler in combination with software, specifically adjusted to the ESD. You can now rev with a brisk 600 HP, while 580 Nm takes its effect on the crank axle. For Level 2, Sport-Wheels charges 5 869 Euros.

If one drive with this car doesn’t leave you speechless – be it from the driving performance, or just the external appearance of the car – then little else will.

The customers fairly expect over and over again something extraordinary from the HS Motorsport company from Eching, located near Munich, the more so the perfection for a valuable client is the highest precept for Bavaria’s tuner. This time Audi S5 must be exposed to intensive care of the team from Eching.

Strictly speaking, the external look of the cabriolet from Ingolstadt doesn’t need any upgrades. Therefore, the crew begins with the engine output increase which is not visible at first glance. This results in the fact that substantial 375 HP instead of standard 333 HP are now waiting for calling. The maximum torque shows 525 Nm in comparison to initial 440 Nm, which is now blasting the crankshaft without mercy. Increasing the limit of Vmax to the new value of 290 km/h is just a logical way at such performance.

Nevertheless, modifications are visible now! An exhaust silencer from Cargraphic with four round inclined rolled-in 89 mm exhaust pipes announces soon arrival of the Audi S5 Cabrio like a post-horn did in its time. At the present moment, there is only one version assigned for export. A tested version is being prepared for Germany.

Wheel disks at the front axle in 9×21 inch with 255/30ZR21 tyres and in 10,5×21 inch with 295/25ZR21 tyres at the rear axle are produced by Cargraphic also. Use of Bilstein thread suspension B16 PSS10 ensures perfect match of the wheel/tyre combination to the wheel housings.

On demand – and at this performance absolutely advisable – a brake system from Brembo with double 380×32 mm brake disks and 6-piston monoblock saddle for the front axle can be installed. In conclusion, various carbon parts for the external cover and also for the interior should be mentioned.

The German tuner Senner Tuning Inc., known for its extravagant modifications, has now placed the golden crown on the Audi A5 Cabriolet. The Audi tuner Senner Tuning Inc. is offering an extensive individualisation program for the current Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet. The Senner Tuning Inc. has fired up the new, blazing A5 2.0 T-FSI Cabriolet even more. The performance of the turbo petrol engines has been increased to 275 HP and 430 Nm with the use of sports air filters and software optimisation. In addition, thanks to the Power Convertor (responsible for the acceleration of the electronic gas signal) the gas intake has an even quicker reaction time.

The tuner from Ingelheim offers an audibly superior exhaust system for the A5, guaranteed to give you goosebumps. It is an in-house sports exhaust system with a stainless steel finishing with four end pipes, 88×74mm in diameter. With this, the Audi gives the driver a real sports car feeling.

The carbon hydride screw thread (Version 2, Inox Line) with adjustable settings ensures perfect road position.

For the wheels, only the best was good enough. On the right are Varianza TIS light metal rims and on the left, Scwhert (“Sword”) SC1 light metal rims in silver chrome with anodised lips 9×20 inches and 10.5×20 inches in size with 245/30 R20 und 295/25 R20er Vredestein tyres – they cause quite a sensation. You don’t need to trim the wheel arch edges for that!

In addition to the work on the open heart and wheels, the Ingelheim team has also cosmetically improved the bodywork of the A5. The new spoiler in the RS6 Design as well as the cooler grill are examples of this, which includes exterior mirrors in the RS5 Design and a rear valance with sporty diffusor fins.

Prestige in the interior is taken care of with surfaces made from leather and extensive carbon fibre applications. The carbon set at Senner Tuning Inc. includes a tacho blend, the S-Line sports steering wheel, an ash tray cover as well as a further extension of door applications, not exactly made with cheap material.
The whole thing is completed with the convertible roof module by Senner Tuning Inc., which can be open and closed via radio signals.

* Top speed of 303 km/h, thanks to MTM V-Cantronic
* MTM exhaust system and MTM rims in the Bimoto Design are available

No doubt that there will be RS5 drivers who are willing to give their new toy away for an hour. The reward for this short abstinence: a top speed of 303 km/h. This is available with help of the MTM V-Cantronic: a small additional control device, which can be built in by MTM partners or directly at MTM in Wettstetten/Ingolstadt, without any complex reconstruction. The V-Cantronic removes the factory speed limiter of 250 or 280 km/h to 303 km/h. The owners who wait four more hours will be rewarded by a double flood stainless steel exhaust system and the most famous side will be designed definitely sportier and more individual: the rear of the 450 HP sportscar, that Audi started to deliver the last days.

The Audi refiner MTM from Wettstetten offers the first components, which make the RS5 even sportier and even if the power enhancement for the 450 HP engine keeps us waiting, the top speed of 303 km/h is a foretaste of the future MTM RS5. The costs: 1.499 Euros. The stainless steel exhaust system proposed by MTM is with throttle valves and offers not only a good looking rear view with black end pipes (ceramic coating with MTM writing), but also a new sound. The costs: starting at 2.998 Euros.
An individually adjustable spring-kit is in development.

Typically MTM: the nine – spokes Bimoto rims, which are available in 19”, 20” and 21” for the RS5. The 20” Bimoto forged is a special quality . On top of that, MTM advises a MTM spacers-kit, which widens about 20mm. Price for the MTM rims set and tyres start from 2.249 Euros (19”).

Broad headlights with LED daylight (by Xenon headlamps), single-frame radiator grill – Audi A1 looks very much the same as its older brothers, and it should be so indeed. Finally, it must bring Audi’s premium pretention to drive out the world of small cars.

The world is now looking with great interest at Ingelheim. Senner Tuning AG already has a modernized A1. This time Senner offers with the first ascertained options for new A1 models the possibility to give the A1 a bit more individuality on the road.

Those who are not completely satisfied with the individualized optics produced by the car manufacturer, can be helped by Senner with coordinated power increase specially for corresponding motor. So, the motor power of Audi A1 with 1.6 TDI engine can be increased from 77KW / 105PS / 250 Nm to 103KW / 140 PS / 310 Nm thanks to software optimization kit (899 Euro).

The principle of effectiveness and the unique Senner design are also common features for the suspension and wheels program. To bring the increased torque positively on the road, a KW-thread suspension with ascertained adjustment possibilities as well as breathtaking Barracuda Voltec T6 light alloy wheels (Real-Chrome and Black-Chrome) of 8×18 inch in diameter with 225/35-18 Hankook S1 Evo of modern design are applied (wheel set depending on the tyres from 1,599 Euro and more). The classic shape provides effective heat removal and gives the possibility of looking at the brake mechanism.

The whole package is completed by a right/left stainless steel sport exhaust system with 1x 90 mm exhaust pipes, which can be ordered at Senner immediately for 899 Euro.

Car basis price: 18.800,- Euro
Special painting: 480.00,- Euro
Special equipment: 2679,98,- Euro
Senner Tuning Package: 4990,00,- Euro
Registration fees: 200,00,- Euro

As a special bonus, Senner takes care of the passenger saloon by refining it completely on the basis of client’s preferences. You can also order an individual leather interior finish, exclusive accessories made of carbon and leather.

It is the new big ABT. “With the new A1, premium quality can now be experienced in all classes”, says Hans-Jürgen Abt. The General Manager of the worldwide largest tuner of vehicles from the VW group stresses that driving enjoyment and agility are particularly important characteristics of the ABT A1. The latest ABT is also a real sports car.

Thanks to ABT POWER the cool little car brings more performance to the road: with the 1.2 TFSI the standard 86 HP (63 kW) becomes a dynamic 115 HP (85 kW), while the larger 1.4 TFSI now offers 150 HP / 110 kW (compared to 122 HP/90 kW) after the rejuvenating therapy. The economic diesel engine with 1.6 litre cubic capacity is now even better nourished: depending on the basic performance, up to 125 HP (90 kW) is put to work. Thanks to the performance springs and the lower centre of gravity the A1 also lies “full” on the road – and in particular ensures enjoyable car driving on winding country roads.

Cool, trendy and extravagant – all good things come in threes with the new ABT A1. This is because the innovative yet traditional company offers precisely this many different design versions. All versions of the ABT A1 are real eye-catchers: the bright red KLECKS (literally “splash”) model with its casual splashes of colour stands for the urban lifestyle in the A1. ALOHA is the laid-back “beach boy” for everyone who prefers relaxed enjoyment. The “evil brother” of these two versions is always a live-wire: HIGH-VOLTAGE is the name of the “most toxic” skull design of the ABT A1. All three versions of the new big ABT reflect its characteristic appearance in clever details: fender inserts, the rear apron insert, rear spoiler, mirror covers, the front lip and side skirts are set in the offensive colours of green grass (HIGH-VOLTAGE), lavender (ALOHA) or brushed aluminium (KLECKS). And even the foot mats pick up on the design. It has never been so nice to rest your feet on good taste.

ABT Sportsline can also mount a sporty double-pipe sports rear muffler and the five-spoke wheel Z in the dark “Titan” colour. Available in 17 or 18 inch, when paired with the ABT Alloy rings in the colour of the ABT design, the alloy always seems one size bigger than it actually is – and the A1 thereby even more dominant. It goes without saying that complete wheel sets are also available with fitting high-performance tyres. This is because regardless which ABT A1 the customer chooses, he/she gets a dynamic vehicle from the top class. The ABT MOTORSPORT logo on the upper edge of the windscreen of each A1 signalises where the newcomer is from. The ABT A1 is a red blot (KLECKS) on the monotonous landscape of “normal” cars, calls out a bold ALOHA to the silver and black majority and energises its drivers with HIGH-VOLTAGE.
