Very impressive GPS tested acceleration results for this C190 Mercedes-AMG GT on the factory M178 4.0 liter twin turbochargers. This is strong bolt on performance and HPT (Horse Power Technics) looks to have one one of the quickest factory turbo AMG GT's out there. ...Published on 12-11-2019 12:28 AM
PorscheBoost speculated with APR's announcement of cracking Siemens SDI 21.X OBD-II port flashing without needing a physical unlock first that we would see handheld ECU unlock solutions pop up. Right on cue Cobb Tuning announced this ability for the Accessport. ...Published on 12-11-2019 12:07 AM
To be fair the Lamborghini Huracan Performante is not a car for drag racing or straightline racing. It is designed competition to destroy racetracks. That is not to say it is not fast as it is and the example in the video is bolt on tuned with roughly ~650 naturally aspirated horses. ...Published on 12-10-2019 10:52 PM
AudiBoost posted a few articles on this single turbo kit it from Klasen Motors for the first gen Audi 4.0 TFSI V8 but unfortunately there is not too much in the form of data or results to go on. This new video below from Klasen offers the most data about this kit to date. ...Published on 12-10-2019 10:21 PM
Is the 600LT just a bit too soft and comfortable for you with its stereo and air conditioning? Do you desire a car offering more downforce and adjustability in its suspension? Well, the 620R may just be for you. ...Published on 12-10-2019 09:54 PM
Here is a simple test showing just how restrictive the OEM intake design is on the Audi EA855 EVO/DAZA 2.5 TFSI motors. This is a tuned exampled which means the factory intake becomes an even larger restriction when more is fed into the motor. ...Published on 12-10-2019 09:41 PM
This is yet another example of magazines not doing a great job. Some random guy managed to run the GT500 in stock form and hit 10.66 @ 132.9 in the 1/4 mile. Not only that, he provided an actual timeslip from an actual dragstrip. ...Published on 12-10-2019 09:26 PM
The N63 always gets overshadowed by the S63 big brother but as BMW updated the N63 4.4 liter v8 over the years it gained considerable capability. The N63TU2 (N66B44M3) is the second technical update to the N63 architecture and it sees use in the 2017-2019 BMW G30 M550i xDrive. ...Published on 12-08-2019 03:11 PM
Remember when APR announced they cracked OBD-II port flashing without requiring a physical ECU unlock on the 991.2 platforms (and 718) with the Siemens SDI 21.X engine control unit? Well, it only took a couple days for this to be stolen. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:28 AM
The APR Porsche onslaught continues! Remember, not too long ago APR announced they cracked Siemens SDI 21.X OBD-II port flashing meaning a physical unlock was not required. Now they are rolling out Porsche software tune after software tune with the 991.2 Turbo S being the latest Porsche recipient. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:13 AM
As you know Doc Race already released their top mount B58 kit based around a BorgWarner EFR turbocharger for the new MKV/A90 Toyota Supra. The version for B58 equipped BMW vehicles such as the F22 240i, G20 340i, G22 440i, etc., followed after and here it is. ...Published on 12-06-2019 11:04 PM
The Ferrari Roma is a beautiful new GT but as soon as it was announced people started to wonder if Ferrari might produce a cabriolet version. That would seemingly present a problem as the Ferrari Portofino occupies that particular niche in the lineup. ...Published on 12-06-2019 10:04 PM
Just a few months back we saw an F87 M2 lapping the Hockenheim GP circuit but that was an F87 M2 CS test mule. Sport Auto grabbed an F87 M2 Competition and also tested it on the Hockenheim GP track so we know exactly how much the CS edition picks up on the Competition. ...Published on 12-06-2019 09:22 PM
Well, we finally have a 10-second Audi RS5 and 10-second 2.9 liter EA839 V6. What is somewhat amusing is the 3.0 liter EA839 in the B9 S4 and S5 has the performance lead right now and it is not by a small margin. ...Published on 12-06-2019 09:12 PM
McLaren owners pushing big power, you will want to pay attention to this. Dodson is tackling the McLaren dual clutch transmission or SSG (Seamless Shift Gearbox). This will be appreciated by those McLarens with upgraded turbos or who do hard standing start launches. ...
