Wimmer RS decided to lay their hands on the Ariel Atom 3 300. The series Ariel has a Honda engine that develops 300Hp. After the engineers at Wimmer were done with it, the little sprinter had 340Hp and 282Nm of torque.

The power to weight ratio is amazing on this car, having 340Hp to pull 469 kg makes you think how great can this car be. It has a very low center of gravity so it is fast in corners too, of course the unique shock absorbers and the push-rods suspension help it a lot.

Wimmer RS managed to improve the Ariel Atom 3 300 by reconfiguring the ECU, modifying the compressor, a fuel pump conversion and a brand new exhaust system.
With all these modifications the Ariel Atom 3 300 by Wimmer RS breaches the 100km/h barrier in 2.8s and reaches 200km/h in 7.1s

The German engineers at Andreson tuning company decided it is time to lay their hands on a Bentley Continental GT Speed. They started with a body kit made mostly out of carbon fiber. The hood is all made out of carbon fiber and now has some huge air gaps so the air could cool the engine properly and also fuel the turbos. Next a front bumper was applied with enormous air intakes, new side skirts and a rear bumper lip.
Anderson tuning decided that only 150 body kits will be available world wide so if you are a Bentley Continental GT Speed owner and love this package you should start making calls.
Under the hood the Bentley Continental GT Speed by Anderson now hides 695Hp and all this was realized by changing the air filter, a reprogrammed ECU and an Rennkats exhaust system.
