Showing that the black on black trend has no signs of fading the German Tunning house Wheelsandmore has taken the Bentley Continental Supersports model and turned the nob up to 11.

The Ariel Atom is basically a go cart on steroids, a tube frame chassis with a Honda K20 engine shoved in it. This is the little monster that basically peeled off Jeremy Clarksons face in his top gear review, see the video after the jump.
Whats the easiest way to make such a underpowered car faster, forced induction of course. Since the Atom only has 300 Hp and a curb weight of 1,375 so the folks over at DDMWorks figured that just turbo or supercharging was enough, so they did both.

This is just another reason that I think I am in love with the all new Camaro. It is a great example of the factory getting it right from the start. It’s retro, but it still seems modern. I is aggressive as hell, it just looks pissed. One of the best thing about has got to be that it has some huge wheel wells. They seem to swallow gigantic rims without it looking donkish.
Now our friends at Air Runner Suspensions have given it the one thing that most of the Camaros I have seen are missing, the perfect stance.

Fresh from the land of the rising sun comes the latest from tuner Tommy Kaira. We showed you what they did the the Prius and now they have taken the knife to Nissan’s GTR and dubbed it the “Silver Wolf”. If you ask me it’s like putting lipstick on a wolf, underneath its still just a wolf, a very nice wolf.
Keeping with the trend of most tuners GTR offerings they left the engine bone stock. This is due to Nissan making it very hard to mod the car, and voiding the warranty if you even think of touching it.

There is VIP and then there is this bit of crazy from the folks at Air Runner Suspensions, the Toyota Vellfire to strike your heart! Yes, to Strike Your Heart, once again I must profess my love of the Japanese translations in advertising. Built for the 2009 Sema show and then sent out to its homeland for the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010. If you keep up on the trends in Japan then you already know that Minivans are not just popular with soccer moms as they are in the states. In Japan there is a whole culture of modders who love builing crazy ass vans. The Toyota Vellfire is a high end Japan only model and also happens to be the most popular choice of modders.

Thanks to the boys over at ft86club.com we have some awesome pictures of the FT86 G Sport concept car. The info is shaky since its coming from a translation of the spec sheet via a website translator. The car is nothing short of amazing looking though. It looks like the spawn of some threesome featuring a 370, Genesis Coupe and GTR.
Specs and a full gallery are after the jump.

Check out this tuned 370Z from the folks a Senner. The car is not at all terrible, it doesn’t even have a body kit on it. There are no crazy scoops or giant wings so you may be asking, what am I talking about “juicers”? Hit the jump to see what the hell I am talking about.

Just imagine that the championship Pewee soccer game is about to start and half of the team is missing. Over the hill you hear what sounds like a jet engine and this thing tears onto the sidelines to drop off 5 little shaved head David Beckham miniatures. The intimidation factor alone should win the game for you. We that’s how I imagine the Enco Gladitor being used.

Looks like Hyundai is going to make a big splash at this years SEMA show. We already knew that the Genesis coupe was going to be a big hit with the Tuner crowd and this model from GReddy does not disappoint. Its not surprising to me that Greddy decided to start off with the 2.0 Turbo model.

If the gold or carbon versions from Gemballa aren’t your cup of tea then the tuner has another version of the Stuttgart supercar for you to choose from. Meet Matte, a Carerra GT fit for a caped crusader, an evil sith lord or me. It has everything the other version have, the Huge HP, giant brakes and awesome body kit but this time they made it look damn evil and I love it. Check out a gallery after the jump.

Not sure how I feel about this. The Porsche CGT is a pretty damn bad ass car in stock form. Not happy to let things be super Porsche tuner Gemballa has come out with a few tuned versions of the car, calling them the Mirage GT. There are two editions the exclusive Carbon Edition and the ultra exclusive Gold Edition.

This is just another reason why I might go domestic. I have already confessed that I really like the new Camaro. This is just another thing pushing me further to the dark side. Super Tuner Fesler just launched what they are calling the “2010 Fesler Moss Camaro”. It’s supposed to be a tribube to the ‘69 camaro. With an available supercharger that pushes the power to 600HP it looks to be quite the badass. Check the details and a sweet video after the jump.

The Scuderia Spider 16M is like the “super type-r” of the prancing hose line. Only 499 were ever made and in stock form its pretty bad ass. I love the look of this thing. I almost did my 911 in this color setup. Check out the gallery and the press release after the jump.

For most people a car like the Porsche GT2 with its 530 HP, 500 ft lbs of torque would be considered impressive. Not so for Porsche Tuner 9ff. As their Austrian brother would say “530 HP is great….for Girlie Men!”. They decided to take the GT2 and morph it into something so much more scary, they call it the 9ff BT-2.

MTM has taken the already stunning Audi R8 and “hulkified” it. Coating the car in Porsche RS Green and pumping the HP up to an insane 560HP. Other than the paint they added a bunch of carbon fiber in the form of a front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts. Check out the press release and more snaps after the jump.
