Tuning News 4

Of all the Porsche tuners, Gemballa is the most outrageous. Their latest car is no exception. The Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R is a 850 bhp monster that goes as fast as it looks. Substantially widened, upgraded and detailed, it’s hard to see the 911 that it started out as.

If you prefer something more restrained, G-Power has a solution. They claim to have the world’s most powerful and street legal BMW. Called the Hurricane, it’s a twin supercharged M5 that produces somewhere near 730 bhp. Being larger that the Gemballa, G-Power deal with enormous strains on aerodynamics, tires, suspension and brakes which are upgraded accordingly.

Distancing ourselves from extreme tuning we have Edo Competition’s R8. Its main draw is new exhaust, and included with our feature is a side-by-side comparison that makes the new car mean as ever.

finish with the Mugen Civic Type RR Experimental Spec. That’s a long name, but one the car deserves when you appreciate the detail Mugen have put into the car.
