Tuning kit for the Chevrolet Camaro from the Fessler-Moss
When it comes to Chevrolet Camaro, then the memory comes to a lot of big and not very tuning-studio, ready to take up the finalization of this powerful muscle car. However, there is one company mechanics, which is much stronger than its competitors - an alliance of Faessler, Chris (Chris Fessler) and Jon Moss (Jon Moss). They currently offer three different tuning kit for the beloved in the United States Camaro.
The first, in our opinion the most interesting, complete, which is called the Fessler-Moss 2010 Camaro Enhancement Package, and its value together with the car is $ 55 000 or U.S. $ 15 000 if you wish to purchase it separately. The set consists of adjustable suspension, high-efficiency air filter kit 22-inch wheels, the holders of carbon fiber and components for the tinting the taillights. Add to this a new turbocharger, an improved exhaust system and a specially tuned braking system and you get this "devourer" of the American Highway.
Mercedes will present new generation SLK Roadster
The design of generation Mercedes SLK Roadster will be placed in the same style as the new supercar SLS AMG Gullwing, which was officially presented last month at the Frankfurt motor show. In principle there is nothing surprising - the company is very often used successfully found a designer moves on several of their machines. This allows you to make cars more recognizable.
But count on the fact that the SLK gets a new generation of doors opening on the principle of "gull wing", as in SLS AMG, not worth it. This "chip" will be the prerogative of only the SLS AMG.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R from Hoely
Marco Melandri suggested that the German manufacturer Hoely create this set of MotoGP for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, because the racer is absolutely sure that the original motorcycle can be easily turned into a replica of the MotoGP, it is only to add graphic design.
We can not agree with the Italian racer MotoGP, and the Germans did very wisely followed his advice, because a motorcycle is like a machine: you buy it from the ground up, ride it a couple of months, and then you start to think about how to improve it. But even better than the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, but to add him to design a racing bike?
