http://www.maxauto.co.za/CntView.aspx?CatID=26&CntID=980
The Prestige S kit for the Range Rover Sport converts this premium SUV's styling to a more muscled-out look and includes a variety of optics/aerodynamic cues to do the trick.
The new front bumper comes with air intakes and fog lights while the extended wheel arches give the Range Rover Sport a wider stance. Air intakes are also present on the new rear door paneling.
Door panels also extend downward to create a side skirt effect as well as give the Range Rover Sport the appearance of a lowered ride height, but the tuning here is limited to the bodywork.
The rear bumper is also lowered and made to hold the exhaust pipes and comes with a towing mount cover.
Additonal options to be had include LED headlights, side wing and bonnet vents, radiator grill, and spoilers for the rear.
For the inside are a series of bespoke-themed leather finishes and other detailing.

http://www.maxauto.co.za/CntView.aspx?CatID=26&CntID=981
German Ford specialist Wolf Racing has turned a stock Focus RS into a mean beast with extra racing abilities. The standard car already produces some cracking figures; 224kW and 440Nm of torque. Wolf engineers upped these for the Wolf RS 360 to 265kW and 559Nm at 3,100rpm respectively.
The car's multi-disc differential lock gives it greater traction when accelerating and braking even as it remains front-wheel-drive. The suspension can be lowered by some 30mm while the coilover suspension also helps improve road holding.
Light alloy 18-inch and 19-inch wheels cut in various finishes like matt black are available off the buyer's menu. Alternatively a 20-inch option can be taken.
As for the look, customers have a choice of red, orange, charcoal and other colour strips while the interior options include aluminium pedals and foot rests.
The car will appear at the 2009 Essen Motor Show which takes place from 28th November.

http://www.maxauto.co.za/CntView.aspx?CatID=26&CntID=982
Here's another variation on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. This one, called the YarroW, is from German tuner Wheelsandmore.
First up, power on this Lambo is amped up to 456kW and 785Nm of torque. Wheelsandmore achieves this increase by means of ECU tampering, a carbon airbox and a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control.
The YarroW also comes with a beefed-up brake system to match those extra horses. 8-piston calipers are fitted at the front and 6-piston ones for the rear wheels, with 14.96 and 14.17-inch discs at front and back, respectively.
20-inch wheels are also part of the tuning kit, wrapped in 235/30/20 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires at the front (for the 8.5 x 20" rims) and 305/25/20 at the back (11.5 x 20"). The 3-piece forged rims are lightweight and come in various color and surface configurations.
The suspension gets a special coilover installed that goes up to 1.77 inches by hydraulic lift.
Carbon parts added to the exterior include a rear diffuser, frontflap and side mirrors. Carbon finish is also part of the interior redecorating.
