  • Lamborghini HK 20th Anniversary Edition


    To mark twenty years since the opening of its first official Hong Kong dealership, Kingsway Cars, Lamborghini has unveiled the HK 20th Anniversary Edition Gallardo LP550-2.

    Visually, the limited edition model is finished in solid white (Bianco Monocerus) paintwork, with twin matte gold stripes running from its front hood to the roof and the engine cover, while the front spoiler, side skirts, rear wing and lower bumper sections are all matte black. Graphics denoting the HK20’s exclusivity appear on all sides of the car, along with the centre console and headrests.

    Mechanically the HK20 is identical to the model it’s based on, meaning 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and a 320 km/h (199 mph) top speed. Just eight examples will be created at a price of HK$3,680,000 (€387,504).

  • Vivid Racing supercharged M3 in action [video]


    For most of us, the prospect of witnessing a supercharged BMW tearing around the streets in the dead of night, would be enough to view this video. But, the guys at Vivid Racing have also thrown a blonde girl (complete with microscopic black dress) into the mix too. The E90 M3 Saloon has been treated to a set of Volk Racing G2 wheels, a Brembo brake upgrade and a VF Engineering supercharger kit, taking output to 620 hp. Sadly, we don’t have any details on the girl but, for some reason, she does appear to turn into a guy in a baseball cap at the 1:09 mark…

  • Audi TT RS Coupe by Eisenmann


    Following on from its one-off 911 Speedster unit, Stuttgart-based exhaust specialist Eisenmann GmbH has developed a rear muffler to suit the Audi TT RS.

    Available for both the Coupe and Roadster models, the muffler is constructed from the nickel-chromium-based alloy Inconel – the same material used to make F1 exhausts, and not only remains stable at temperatures of over 1000 degrees Celsius but it’s 40 percent lighter than the factory item it replaces. The recommended retail price is €3,200.

  • Akrapovic BMW M3 and 1 Series M Coupe [video]


    Here’s a video created by Bimmerpost forum member radiantm3 to test a new camera mounting system in order to find the best way to capture audio from a car. Both the M3 Coupe and 1 Series M Coupe have been fitted with an Akrapovic Evo exhaust system, Brembo 380 GT brake upgrade kit, KW V3 suspension set-up and Volk Racing TE37SL wheels. Out of the two, it’s the M3’s symphony that’s doing it for us. What do you think?
