Loder1899 Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo At Essen Motor Show

Alongside the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (see here), Loder1899 also presented a supped up version of the new Ford Mondeo at this year’s Essen Motor Show. The frost white Mondeo was fitted with a front lip, rear skirt and roof spoiler made out of real carbon fiber, while the bonnet was finished in a special edition Stainless steel look. The wheel/tire combination for the Mondeo is the 9x20 inch alloy wheel Sins in a shiny, black finish. Alternatively, Loder1899 offers the 9x20 inch design wheel W1 in a special edition Polish glam also in a black, glossy finish with polished spokes. -Continued

The standard 220 hp Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo (same engine as the Focus ST) gains an extra 50 hp, thanks to the motor management and the sport exhaust system. Loder1899 also offers a 4-way adjustable sport suspension system. This enables the driver to adjust vehicle height, gradient, pressure level and strut compression to personal taste and requirements.

Loder1899 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante

For this year’s Essen Motor Show (Dec. 1 to 9), Loder1899 presented the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante. The Bavarian tuner’s bodykit consists of carbon fibre accessories (front-lip, rear diffuser and engine cover) combined with the newly created 20-inch alloy wheel Vertigo Viginti. To finish off the look, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante is also equipped with Loder1899´s 35mm lowering kit. -Continued after the jump

In terms of mechanical changes, there’s a sport exhaust system that includes a stainless steel sport catalytic converter. At 4000 rpm the flap control opens, which allows the engine to breathe out more effectively. Thanks to this optimized exhaust system power has increased from 385 hp to 425 hp.

DUNE Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 499HP Premieres In Essen

The maroon matt-finished Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 by “Delta4x4” that made its global debut at the Essen Motor Show features a series of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades. The standard 425 HP 6.1-litre V8 HEMI engine has been enhanced to 499 HP thanks to the new engine control unit, the sport exhaust system with performance manifold and the modified air-feed. Delta says that the 499 HP DUNE project accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mpg) in less than 5 seconds. -Continued

Delta4x4 has also fiddled around with the suspension (+100 mm ground clearance) and the tires as the DUNE sits on new custom light wheel elements IV with 11x23in mounted Continental Cross Contact tires in 305/40 R23. Finally, integrated into the new front spoiler is a Warn winch while the stainless steel roof-rack system and the fender extension contain filigree PIAA main-beam headlights that promise to turn night into day.

VW Golf Variant RaVe 2.0T 270 HP Concept Unveiled In Essen

Who’d ever think that the all-new Golf Variant could actually, look quite good. But before you get your hopes up, the Golf Variant RaVe 270 is just a concept study, or at least for the time being. Presented at the Essen Motor Show which opened up its portals today (Nov. 30, 2007), the RaVe 270 gets a sporty outfit along with a powerful 1,400 Watt high-end sound system and supped up version of the Golf GTI’s 2.0 Turbo engine enhanced to 270 Hp. -Continued after the jump

Developed and built by Volkswagen Individual GmbH, the Golf Variant RaVe 270 combines the Golf GTI engine and the 4Motion all-wheel drive of the Golf R32 while power is distributed via a DSG dual clutch transmission. VW supports that it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.8 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to at 250 km/h (155 mph). Despite its impressive specs, average fuel consumption of the Golf Variant RaVe 270 is 9.1 lt/100 km or 25.8 mpg.

The standard Golf Variant’s body parts -bumpers, radiator grille, side skirts, taillights, headlamps, and even the mirrors – were all modified. For example, the new bumper features three large air inlets while the xenon headlamps got a new look by extending the engine hood and fenders and adding new special caps. At the rear end, there are two twin-fluted tailpipes on the left and right. Between them is a diffuser that provides for additional traction. The RaVe 270 sits on 19 inch "Zaragoza" alloy wheels while the sport chassis was lowered by 20 millimeters.

Inside, the most important add on is the new 1,400 Watt high-end sound system. The basis for this system is the new RNS 510 radio-navigation system. A total of 13 loudspeakers are supplied via three powerful output amplifiers. A strong 880 Watt subwoofer and two other 250 Watt subwoofers in chrome promise to make quite a bang.

The 880 Watt subwoofer – just like the output amplifiers – is located so that it is visible on the cargo floor. Also integrated in the rear were two 12-inch monitors. Among other features, the interior is characterized by leather sport bucket seats with R-Logo and painted door handle recesses.

BRABUS Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster Debuts In Essen

Making its world premiere at the Essen Motor Show today (Nov. 30, 2007), the Brabus prepped Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is one of the few tuned supercars that we wouldn’t mind seeing in our garage. Maybe that's because the German's restrained themselves to a carbon fiber front spoiler that minimizes lift on the front axle, a corresponding rear diffuser also made from exposed carbon fiber and a set of sexy BRABUS Monoblock VI 20-inch alloy wheels mounted on high-performance Pirelli or Yokohama tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 20. -Continued after the jump

In terms of mechanical changes, the power tuning for the supercharged 5.5-liter (335.5 cu. in.) engine consists of special camshafts, a fuel cooling system and a high-performance exhaust that increase the power output of the V8 compressor engine by 24 hp to 650 hp at 6,500 rpm.

BRABUS also offers a special clutch-type limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. It further optimizes traction and improves acceleration performance of the SLR Roadster. The tuned roadster sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 sec and reaches a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph).

Moving ahead to the interior, it all depends on the depth of your wallet. The company-own upholstery shop specializes in fulfilling just about any requests including a multitude of leather types and colors as well as custom upholstery designs. There’s also a sport steering wheel with integrated buttons for manual shifting of the SLR’s automatic transmission, carbon-fiber applications for dashboard, center console and door trim. The exposed carbon-fiber trim can be color-coordinated with the leather color of the interior.

An unusual BRABUS specialty is the waffle-patterned leather carpeting in the SLR’s footwells, as it contains some 7,800 meters (25,600 feet) of thread.
