There`s not much slipstreaming going on around a Range Rover, the wind just bangs it relentlessly on the nose and the Range Rover is too arrogant to care. It wasn`t built to be a race car but this still hasn`t stopped Startech trying to make it more aerodynamic
The Exclusive STARTECH Program for the MY 2010 Facelift Generation of the Range Rover
The Range Rover continues its successful run in re-engineered form. For owners of the British SUV looking for maximum individuality STARTECH offers an extensive product portfolio for both versions.
Range Rover or Range Rover Sport: The STARTECH designers have developed sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components for both body styles of the SUV. Both front components lend the 4x4 a more striking and dynamic face and reduce lift on the front axle at high speed. Both versions feature stylishly integrated LED daytime running lights that add considerably to the level of active safety.
The thrilling STARTECH design vocabulary continues in the rear components tailored to the specific body style. Like their counterparts in the front they perfectly combine form and function: Most Range Rover models are equipped with a trailer hitch which is covered up beautifully by the STARTECH rear apron. The apron features an integrated flap that pops in or out in one motion to give quick access to the detachable hitch. Exhaust tip moldings stylishly integrated into the lines of the rear apron are yet another striking detail. They are connected to the factory exhaust system.
STARTECH Monostar IV light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 22 inches play a large role in the striking looks of the STARTECH versions of the MY 2010 Range Rover. The five-spoke wheel design features a striking combination of charcoal-gray and polished surfaces. The size 10Jx22 wheels are mounted with high-performance tires in size 295/35 R 22 front and back.
The STARTECH team also demonstrates lots of ingenuity in the interior. An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, available in a variety of material and color combinations, is part of the product lineup as are exclusive accessories such as stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated STARTECH logo, high-quality floor mats with color-coordinated leather borders, and aluminum pedals.
To complement the factory leather interior of the Range Rover STARTECH offers front and rear inside door panels in all factory leather colors. Special contrast-colored cords create an especially customized appearance.
Requests for even further personalization are fulfilled by the company upholstery shop. The shop creates complete interiors made from a number of choice materials in any color and design imaginable and will even include the headliner upon request. Also available are exclusive precious-wood trim sets. Innovative bleaching and staining techniques allow customers to choose perfectly matched or interestingly contrasted wood colors with various surface finishes.
The choices are practically endless: The lineup ranges from a simple upgrade of the factory wood trim in the form of a color-coordinated precious-wood molding for the center console to complete interior trim sets in any desired wood grain or made from genuine carbon fiber. The same variety is available for the electrically deployed STARTECH tables in the rear, which can also be upholstered with leather instead.
At the ESSEN MOTOR SHOW 2010 STARTECH presents the Range Rover with an especially exclusive yachting-design precious-wood trim package. All wood inlay elements of the production interior are replaced by trim made from dark-brown Wenge wood with beige separating layers. The result is a wood interior that looks like the kind of wood used on a high-end yacht. To create this look countless individual pieces were assembled with the watchmaker precision. All wood elements have an open-pore matte finish but are varnished in accordance with the latest automotive guidelines.
Upon customer request STARTECH can transform any Range Rover model into an exclusive office on wheels or into a rolling multimedia lounge with state-of-the-art communication technology
BMW M3 E92 Widebody
If only Prior Design could do for our physiques what they do for ordinary 3-series, we`d all look like meatheads for just 2,999 Euros
BMW M3 E92 Widebody: Hormonal disposition!
Once again, the designers at Prior Design have raised the bar: With the new BMW M3 lookalike body kit for the current three-series coupe model, the tuners from Kamp-Lintfort have produced an absolute masterpiece. Following the ‘tame` version, which appeared in August of this year, comes the widebody version, which suits all E92 models with the exception of the real M3, and thus transforms every coupe into a genuine M3 clone.
Virtually an M3 GT2!
The widebody version is, of course, a completely new development. The body kit comprises a new front bumper with large air intakes, and a completely new bonnet with numerous air vents similar to those on the BMW M3 GT2 from long-course motor racing. A set of side skirts make the car appear lower, while the rear receives a completely new bumper and diffuser. The width of the body kit is most striking at the mudguards. The front mudguards were built completely new, while the mudguards at the rear axle were widened by a few centimetres on each side.
The new body kit also contains a spoiler on the boot lid, as well as on the roof, which are both also available in carbon fibre. It should also be noted that the rear bumper suits the M3 exhaust system as well as all other tailpipe versions, except for the 335i. Prior Design is also offering a specially designed stainless steel exhaust system in the style of the M3 that suits the new widebody body kit, which can be purchased from EUR 1,499.00. In terms of the lowering, the tuners from Kamp-Lintfort have relied on the quality of a KW coil-over kit, which allows the individual adjustment of tension and pressure.
As usual, the components of the new M3 body kit are manufactured from Duraflex, a very flexible and extremely stable material. And, of course, there is a valid TÜV component conformity certificate for every component, for smooth registration.
Prices:
Widebody body kit: from EUR 2,999.-
Bonnet: EUR 1,390.-
Rear spoiler: EUR 299.-
Roof spoiler: EUR 299.-
Front spoiler lip: EUR 449.-
M3 style exhaust system: EUR 1,499.-

Nissan Ellure Concept has rakish style
It clearly has allure, we like the aerodynamic lines and glass roof too, those lounge seats are a winner and if it gets the 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine twinned with a 25 kW electric motor it will surely be in line with future power solutions
Nissan is making a big splash at the Los Angeles Auto Show with the unveiling of the Ellure concept.
Created to showcase the company`s commitment to sedans, the Ellure features an aerodynamic design and four-door coupe styling. Notable highlights include a steeply raked windscreen, a glass roof, reverse opening rear doors, and 21-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels.
Inside, the cabin has a tri-color design theme, lounge-like rear seats, a front passenger "forward-facing ottoman", and a floating center console.
The concept doesn`t have a powertrain, but Nissan envisions it would use a supercharged 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a 25 kW electric motor which would be paired to an Xtronic continually variable transmission (CVT). Furthermore, the Ellure would also have an independent suspension, regenerative brakes, and an advanced drive-by-wire electric/hydraulic steering system.
