Here is the Lambo Monterey Blue BMW 840ci which was seen in the Fast & Furious 4 movie. This was one of many sweet wide body modified BMW’s I saw while at BimmerFest 2009 this year in sunny Santa Barbara, California. The most striking feature of the car is the massive custom made all metal 4″ wide body rear extension!

This car has seen the following shows to date: HIN Los Angeles, HIN San Mateo, Extreme Autofest, HIN Phoenix, HIN Pleasonton and MFest (which is part of BimmerFest). As sick as this car is, I am not a huge fan of the e46 side M grill on the front quarter panel. Looked very cheesey and out of place.

A Jaguar can be a friendly cat and then when pushed the wrong way it could be a battle that you will not win. The supercharged R versions of the new 2010 Jaguar XF and XK make their way to this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Both cars, XFR and XKR, share a supercharged V8 producing 510 horsepower and can spring from 0 to 60 at 4.7 seconds and 4.6 seconds respectfully.

With the plush interior that is traditional modern Jaguar these twin cats will pounce on a lot of car while still being classy and stylish.

Mansory gives Bugatti Veyron more power

0 comments

German tuning company has revealed details of its super-limited edition Bugatti Veyron ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Officially named the Linea Vincero, Mansory has re-jigged the Veyron?s air intake and modified the exhaust system to increase power from 1,001bhp to 1,109bhp.
There are no performance figures, but this should shave a couple of split seconds off the Veyron?s standard 0-62mph time of 2.5 seconds and better its 253mph top speed
