Only a few are left. The changed spirit of time and the crisis of the American car manufacturers diminish the number of classical muscle cars. The Dodge Challenger belongs to this minority. With its brawny shapes, the edged radiator grill and an engine with an enormous cubic capacity, the car is a real American. But this also applies for its road holding. The running gear specialist KW helps to improve the weaknesses in taking bends. With high-quality components, KW makes the Challenger unique and at the same time preserves the character of the American. (more…)

While an elegant apron on a car is certainly stunning, with its fashion collection for female drivers and passengers Sportservice Lorinser is focussing on other accessories. The waist cut LADY T-SHIRT is "the" sexy companion for the summer and should attract more attention than any perfectly formed car bodywork. The intensive, feminine red colour itself is extremely tempting, while the centrally positioned Lorinser coat of arms by the designer Nina Lorinser has been added as an eye-catcher.

Wearing the shirt is feeling as breezy as the inside of a cabrio thanks to the material mix of 92 percent cotton and 8 percent elastane. The elastic plastic fibres are also synthesised from polyurethane, the same material which is also used for high-quality vehicle components by Lorinser. In textiles it provides an ideal fit and ensures that the wearer does not get out of the car “wrinkled” after a long journey. The airy raglan sleeves are fully part of the current fashion trend. Due to the fact that they are already positioned in the neckline, they guarantee optimal wearing comfort with their different stitching geometry. And if it is not quite so cosy when walking through the city or driving in an open-top car, the LADY ZIP JACKET from Lorinser provides the perfect combination.

Running gear manufacturer KW not only lowers vehicles. The Hydraulic Lift System UNIVERSAL also pushes lowered cars up to 45 millimetres from the ground. With this system even extremely lowered vehicles can pass underground parking exits, speed bumps and railroad crossings easily.

Until now HLS was designed model-specifically for sports cars only. Now the worldwide successful running gear manufacturer offers the HLS UNIVERSAL independently from the specific model. The new system celebrates its world premiere at Tuning World Bodensee (Lake Constance) in Friedrichshafen, Southern Germany, excibition hall B2, stand 400 from April 30th to May 3rd.

HLS UNIVERSAL is installed with a coilover suspension. It’s available in two variations: HLS 2 UNIVERSAL is mounted at the front axle and HLS 4 UNIVERSAL is installed at the front and the rear axle, which enables it to lift the whole vehicle.

Longevity is ensured by a rubber bellow, that guards the hydraulic cylinder unit from stone impact and dirt. The ring cylinder unit is mounted between spring cap and spring. With the push of a button the driver can lift his vehicle while driving and prevent the front spoiler and the underbody from damage. A remote control is optionally available. The scope of delivery contains all necessary parts including mounting equipment, fitting accessories, and detailed installation instructions. Also an inspection report by the German Technical Control Board (TÜV) is attached for an inscription according to German § 21 (StVZO).

European tuning experts MEC Design are please to show off their new bodykit for the Mercedes-Benz S Class.

With the entire body kit the middle class limousine turns into a sports car with four doors. The new sport radiator grill (199 euros including VAT) and the front spoiler (379 euros) give the Exeo a significantly grimmer face. The side skirts (399 euros) emphasise the dynamic wedge shape. The diffuser panel in carbon look (299 euros) gives the car a sporty rear section.
