2011 Lumma Design BMW 7 Series

Auto Car | 2011 Lumma Design BMW 7 Series | What would the 2011 BMW 7-Series look like if it was worked on by BMW GmbH? Well, it would look like the BMW Alpina B7 of course. But what if you’re not looking for all that extra power that the 500-hp B7 provides? You might want to check out Lumma Design’s new 7-Series bodykit that gives the large luxury a sedan a wider and more aggressive look.

Lumma’s new package adds a new front spoiler bumper, grid inserts, fog lights and LED daytime running lights, a cup spoiler sword, a ten-piece wheel arch extension, deep door sills, a new rear apron and a new rear diffuser.

To enhance the look, Lumma also added 22-inch light alloy wheels and minor carbon fiber touches.

Luxurious broad image: LUMMA Design provides BMW 7 Series with broad-scoped aerodynamics package

    * Unique wide construction for Munich luxury limousine
    * Genuine carbon plus 22 inch wheels for enhanced sportiness
    * Refined aluminium interior

LUMMA Design gives the BMW 7 Series a wider look. The unique aerodynamics package lends the luxury limousine a more self-assured appearance, without neglecting the Munich model’s elegant design or making it come across as flashy. Selected applications made from genuine carbon and 22 inch light alloy wheels ensure that the BMW with its noble finish exhibits independence while staying true to its sportiness. Aluminium in the interior lends an individual touch.

The fact that LUMMA Design has a sense of BMW’s design language already becomes apparent in the front spoiler bumper. The curvature of the bonnet and the kidney front grille find their match in the new LUMMA front, which integrates grid inserts, fog lights and LED daytime running lights. The new shapely look is completed by the cup spoiler sword.

The ten-piece wheels arch extensions are key to the new sporty appearance: the luxury limousine becomes significantly wider, ensuring a dominant appearance. The door attachments and rear apron corners make for harmonious integration of the extension set and the full aerodynamics package.

LUMMA Design offers a set of deep door-sills that has been designed especially for the BMW 7 Series with its extended wheelbase, so as to bridge the parameterisation of the wheels arch extensions.

The aerodynamics package is completed by the new rear diffuser. Besides ensuring additional downforce, the diffuser highlights the sporty aspiration of the refined limousine.

The dynamic appearance of the LUMMA BMW is enhanced even further by the genuine carbon applications produced by the refining experts in Germany. These include exterior mirror caps, the kidney front grille frame, all door handle covers, the boot lid trim and the four-piece pillar trim set for doors and mud guards.

Naturally the wheels also contribute to the more sporty appearance. The impressive 22-inch light alloy rims are fitted with 265/30 high-performance Vredestein tyres in the front and 295/25 in the rear.

In addition, selected LUMMA Design improvements make for an upgraded interior. The aluminium two-piece pedal set with matching footrest provides the driver footwell with a superior look. Foot mats in the colour of the customer’s choice featuring the embroidered LUMMA crest logo are also available for the large BMW, as is a boot mat in any colour, also featuring the embroidered logo.

Except for the deep door-sills, which are provided exclusively for the model with extended wheelbase, the construction extension, carbon applications, wheels and interior components fit all BMW 7 Series models. Obviously the required TÃV approval is included in every LUMMA Design delivery. Alternatively, the upgrade experts will perform the conversion at their head office in Winterlingen, Germany, including TÃV registration.

2011 Manhart Racing BMW M6XR Twin Turbo

Auto Car | 2011 Manhart Racing BMW M6XR Twin Turbo | Manhart Racing has debuted a new BMW M6XR Twin Turbo package for the BMW X6 M, The ber-SUV is powered with a V8 twin turbo engine as standard, which products a fat 555 hp and 680 Nm of torque at a maximum charging pressure of 1.5 bar.

The BMW X6 M V8 twin turbo engine proved no exception to his ability to quickly find efficient ways of increasing the performance of an engine. Thanks to an overhaul of the engine electronics, including DME control, and a catalytic conversion including modifications to the converters, the power of the 4.4 litre V8 is increased to 687 hp, which at a tare weight of 2380 kg amounts to a power to weight ratio of 3.4 kg per hp.

Manhart M6XR sprints to 100 km/h from a standing start in just 4.7 seconds, and achieves an unbelievable top speed of 319 km/h. A version with more than 700 hp is planned within a short time which, equipped with new exhaust manifolds, will break the 900 Nm barrier.

Something is also conducive to the power of the car, of course, is the new stainless steel exhaust system, with four 90 mm tailpipes and two 200-cell HJS racing catalytic converters. Four Manhart RS sports rims ensure optimum contact with the bitumen, all at 11J x 23 in size and fitted with 315/25 ZR23 tyres. With the sports chassis, developed and manufactured by Manhart, the centre of gravity of the X6 M is approx. 30 mm lower, which is of particular benefit to handling in tight corners. Optimum deceleration of the 2.4-tonne sports SUV is ensured by a high-end braking system with 395 mm discs and six-piston calipers at the front, and 375 mm discs with four-piston calipers at the rear.

There is the option of a full-leather interior with Alcantara roof and door linings, to go with the characteristically clinical interior of the X6 M, as well as numerous Klavierlack double-coat clear finish trimmings.

2010 Project Kahn Range Rover Sport Supercharged RS600

Auto Car | 2010 Project Kahn Range Rover Sport Supercharged RS600 | Project Kahn is pleased to announce the launch of their new 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged RS600 Autobiography Sport with a full Kahn Design conversion

The Range Rover Sport RS600 takes vehicle customisation to the next level. With more focus on the owner, the conversion consists of an outstanding new ten piece Kahn body kit complete with a sports exhaust system and colour code. The kit has been developed by our Project Kahn design team and has undergone many hours of testing not only to ensure safety but also to guarantee that perfection is achieved with every car.

The RS600 package includes a complete interior styling package which sees the introduction of the new bespoke quilted leather interior range to the front and rear seats, glove box and dash board. The steering wheel and gear shift benefit from contrast stitching applied against the black leather adding beautiful texture, distinct style and the ultimate comfort. The speedometer, rev counter and clock, feature a shock of electric blue whilst all the while complementing the original design. Everything about the Kahn RS600 exudes style, from the stainless steel door entry sills, side vents foot pedals even down to the smallest of touches such as the Kahn leather key ring.

Their machined billet steering wheel is also available for the Range Rover and the Discovery. Manufactured in Italy and built using the original Land Rover component guarantees an exact fit, fully operational controls and driver airbag functionality. The standard frame is enhanced with a motorsports inspired contoured form and grip and finished in the highest grade lightweight billet aluminum and leather.

Each RS600 is fitted with the Project Kahn Super Sound exhaust system which emits a unique sound emanating from the car as a deep rumble. If that’s not enough the RS600 has undergone a performance upgrade, now benefitting from Kahn Intelligent Power offering an impressive 600 BHP.

The RS600 truly captures Project Kahn’s ideology of creating individuality which is enhanced by the inclusion of the Kahn 22” RS Alloy Wheel and Tyre package. The elegant and sculpted alloy wheel designs are created through skilled artistic innovation, state-of-the art manufacturing and advanced material technology.

As the UK’s leading automotive design house, Project Kahn recognizes the importance of dynamic cutting edge designs whilst staying true to the original form.

There's nothing wrong with a completely stock Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged. It's one of the most luxurious, capabale on- and off-road performance SUVs available. But once again, that just means a platform for craziness for the tuners at Project Kahn.

The RS600 package adds more power and a heaping dose of interior upgrades to the standard Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Starting with a custom exhaust system tuned for a powerful yet refined sound, the RS600 treatment tweaks the engine's output to yield 600 horsepower--a 90-horsepower gain from the original, and a full 45 more horsepower than the X6 M and 50 more than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. Ridiculous? Yes, but also sure to be a lot of fun.

Inside, full custom quilted leather for the front and rear seats, dash and glove box add a look that seems more Rolls Royce than Range Rover, while the upgraded instruments shine with "electric blue" light for a high-tech look. Stainless steel door entry sills, a custom Kahn leather keyring, and a myriad of other details leave almost nothing untouched.

The exterior gets an aggressive--but not gaudy--new look, too, thanks to a custom 10-piece body kit. Twenty-two inch alloy wheels no doubt compromise off-road capability, but lend an even more modern look to the big SUV.

2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Auto Car | 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | Here Car Showp will present a new image and a more complete specification of the post Land Rover Range Rover Evoque earlier. The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque makes its global public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

Evoque is called a “cross-coupé”, and is kind of like the new-urban spiritual successor to the old 3-door Range Rover with the “low carbon” front-wheel drive.

Interior, coated in leather with “twin needle” stitching – houses the expected Terrain Response system, a Jag-inspired transmission knob, and all the cell/MP3 connectivity you’ll ever need. At the dashboard also gets an optional dual-view 8-inch screen. Audio from your iPod will be routed through a 17-speaker Meridian system and backed by 825 watts, while above the seating area is a glass panoramic roof.

2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque powered by a series of gasoline and diesel turbo engines that incorporate start/stop tech, while the Evoque also stays a little greener thanks to electronic power-assisted steering (which is considered a low-CO2 system). The four-cylinder turbodiesels are based on a 2.2-liter unit and provide either 150 or 190 horsepower.

Some of the choices offered include: the FWD 150-horse diesel earns you the most green points with an estimated fuel economy of 58 mpg Imperial (48.3mpg US or 4.9lt/100km) and under 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer of emissions (the 4X4 low-output diesel comes in at a still impressive 50 mpg (41.6mpg US or 5.6lt/100km) and under 145 g CO2 / km).

While if you’re looking to burn gasoline and have a closer power-to-torque ratio, go with the 2.0-liter Si4 engine. Using direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing. Land Rover “tuned the Range Rover Evoque’s chassis and Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) to deliver precise and responsive steering at lower speeds, making the car nimble and fun to drive.”

2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque will come in three flavors from the get-go: 1) “Pure” (aka Base), which provides the car, soft-touch materials, and aluminum trim; 2) “Prestige” (aka Luxury), which adds 19-inch wheels and a lot of leather; and 3) “Dynamic” (aka Sport-Lux), which adds 20-inch wheels, unique exterior styling (bumpers, grille, spoilers with contrasting colors, etc.) and sports seats. There will also be a hybrid in the future, so expect this little guy to get even greener.
