If your Lamborghini Murcielago isn’t turning as many heads as you’d quite like, then German tuner Hamann, might just have the answer.
The kit consists of an aerodynamic package, including a front spoiler that fits directly to the bumper, and a rear wing (both available in carbon fibre or fibreglass).
Volkswagen have decided to ask the public to name their new mini off-roader.
The idea of a public vote was hatched when board members of the Wolfsburg company couldn’t agree on a suitable name. Head of VW, Wolfgang Bernhard, stated “We asked the public to name the SUV, and that’s the name we’ll use”.
Volkswagen have introduced a range of products, for Passat owners wanting to give their car a sporting edge, reminiscent of the concept vehicle, the R-GT.

Lamborghinis plans of building an SUV to rival the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, have been dropped by the supercar manufacturer.
Ideas of an uber-saloon, (as a successor to the seventies Espada) have also been shelved. Their president Stephan Winkelmann stated “I’m a fan of SUVs, but making one isn’t on the radar for this decade. We’re such a small company, we couldn’t do one on our own. Still, it would make more sense for us to do one of those than a four-seater.â€
