The car features 1.4L engine with a Power flow exhaust, spotlights, boot spoiler, 17’inch alloys and lowered suspension and tinted windows. Being a Figo, it already comes with Radio, CD and iPod connection, aircon, dual airbags, power steering, ABS with EBD.

If you are also thinking – “God, those alloys are hot!” then let me tell you 17″ Racing Hart Boro mags with 205/40 tyres. The dealer is also ready to offer a 4 year/60,000km Service Plan after the customization.

What’s the Indian connection? The donor car is manufactured at Ford India’s Chennai plant!

Performance is improved lower down the rev range, with an additional 47Nm of torque. This takes the grand total to 297Nm (range of the Sumo Grande/Scorpio). The mountain of torque improves acceleration times as 0.6 seconds is shaved off in the 0-60mph sprint.

Oettinger isn’t a roadside mechanic shop who isn’t entirely certain of the nature of work. They’ve been in the tuning parts business for 50 years and they offer two years’ guarantee on engine, gearbox and drivetrain upgrades. The 1.6 TDI engine features on many VW Group vehicles in Europe (VW, SEAT, Skoda and Audi models) and it can be installed in any of them.

If you are looking to beef up your Vento with Oettinger’s product, be ready to shell out 1090 Euros (about 70k rupees). This of course is independent of the costs incurred in transporting your Vento to one of Oettinger’s 150 Performance Centers in Europe.

The Suzuki Swift has always been a boy racers car. Its fast, its cheap, handles well, easy to repair and it looks good as well.

You can see a lot of them modded on city streets. But those are all aftermarket jobs. But when the company itself rolls up its sleeves, what you get is an R Concept or simply put a really mental Swift.

The Suzuki Swift R Concept, which will debut at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show, takes its inspiration from the GSX-R bikes and is quite evident from the really aggressive body work and very fat tires that it sits on. This front wheeled drive hot hatch is expected to be powered by a 1.4L liter turbocharged petrol unit that makes a whooping 180 bhp! All this power is harnessed by a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission borrowed from VW.

All said and done, we just can’t wait for the Beijing Motor Show later this year.

It isn’t only the customers who can’t stop fantasizing on their VWs. German tuners who have brought out numerous kits and accessories for the vehicle in the past are also equally passionate.

If you’re following the Polo Cup and want your VW Polo to look and feel like the cars you see on TV, then read on!

Tuner MS Design’s package for the new VW Polo is the latest to join that list. They’re offering customization options for the Polo which include 18-inch alloys, red color ORVMs, LED integrated front bumper, a lowered suspension, etc which they term as “MRace Polo.”

There are no mechanical changes, so if you hoped this Polo will set the streets on fire, then you better think again. As the changes are more or less after-market additions, it shouldn’t be a problem fitting them to your petrol/diesel Polo.

The parts can also be purchased individually. If you choose to buy the whole package, it will set you back by not less that 1,000 Euros (59,000 rupees).

MS Design MRace Polo package options

Daytime running lights (matt black)
Mirror cover set, red or silver
Front spoiler anthracite
Pair of side skirts, anthracite
Rear diffuser, matt black
Roof spoiler, glossy black
Lowering springs
Decor “RACE” 3-pcs, anthracite/red
4 alloy wheels MS21 8×18 offset 35 spacing 5L/100, with tyres 215/35X18

Skoda’s German arm has introduced a sports kit for the Fabia named “Race Package”

Available on the 68hp 1.2-liter petrol and and 85HP 1.2-liter TSI petrol, the Race-package contains a front spoiler, a new apron for the rear bumper with an integrated diffuser, chrome exhaust tail pipe cover, white-colored roof and fancy graphics that run at the rear and top of the vehicle.

17-inch alloy wheels dressed in white, and a lowered suspension setup complete the package that costs (US$19,000-20,500)

In India, Skoda has neglected the Fabia, not even bothering to upgrade it to BS4 norms. Perhaps the race package could be introduced when the BS4 Fabia is launched later this year.

Chevrolet and its European tuning associate Irmscher has launched a modified Chevrolet Cruze in Germany with cosmetic and mechanical upgrades at this week’s AMI motorshow in Leipzig, Germany.

Called Cruze Irmscher Edition, the car receives an optional boot lid spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels draped in fatter 225 sport tires and aluminum door sills.

Irmscher’s under-hood modifications include a 25mm suspension drop, exhaust silencers with elliptical twin exits along with a 36HP and 146Nm boost for the 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine taking the total output to 186HP and 466Nm at 2,300 rpm.

Post surgery, the diesel Cruze does zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 8.0 seconds. The Cruze Irmscher Edition can be bought in Chevrolet’s German dealerships.

For the Indian Cruze buyer with a disappointed look, well you see Chevrolet at the moment is focused on selling the default Cruze. Once the company is able to clear the backlogs, it will think about introducing body kits and modifications.

Karl Slym, President and Managing Director of GM India in an interview recently said the Transformers-GM partnership is not going to influence cars in India. This means the Bumble Bee paint scheme would not be imitated on smaller cars like the Cruze and the Beat.

The 4.5-liter V8 turbo diesel engined Toyota Land Cruiser found another party wanting to customize it with flashy equipment

The transformation isn’t just skin deep. The ECU gets tweaked as well and the result is an added 36hp (322hp in all) and 80Nm of extra torque (720 Nm after modification)

Delta is also offering a high-performance braking system to compensate for the extra power, but that is completely optional. The ground clearance has been increased by 30mm and larger, flashy alloys substitute the stock wheels.

The total cost of the kit – A cool 5600 euro!

Suzuki will introduce a special edition of the Swift Sport dubbed “Swift Sport Rock am Ring.”

Some of you may ask why, and there’s a good reason (unlike manufacturers unveiling special editions to celebrate a victory at a local award ceremony)

This model will mark the 25th anniversary of the music festival  sponsored by the Japanese manufacturer scheduled to take place at the Nurburgring race track in June.

The Suzuki Swift Sport Rock am Ring is distinguished by logos,  a new entertainment system that comprises of a Clarion Navigation system, featuring a 6.9 inch color display, a 30 Gb hard drive for storing music, multiple power speakers and an iPod auxiliary adapter.

You can buy your Rock am Ring in three shades – Whit Pearl Metallic, Cosmic Black Pearl Metallic and Supreme Red Pearl Metallic.

You get the standard Sport Swift’s configuration. This means that the car will continue to be powered by a 1.6 liter petrol engine, that makes 125 hp at 6,800 rpm and 109 lb-ft (148 Nm) of torque at 4,800 rpm. 0-100kph comes in 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), makes for a fast car.

Only 700 units of the music-inspired Swift Sport will ever be made and it’ll set you back by 17,990 euro when sales begin next month. If you choose to buy one, that is.
