More & more luxury car manufacturers are offering clients factory customization because that way they can get an extra few bucks out of buyers, instead of them taking their cars to custom shops & tuners.
Porche are baiting their clients with a custom package for the Panamera that offers aesthetic improvements as well as performance enhancements.
With the custom option, you can get an extra 40 horsepower & 50 Nm of torque out of the car’s V6 engine, taking the standard of 500 hp to 540 hp & with a total of 750 Nm of torque.

It’s hard to attain perfection & even harder to improve on it, so when it comes to cars, Ferrari tend to produce engines with results that are pretty much peerless.
But it seems that the engineers over at Ferrari aren’t the only ones asking: “how do you improve perfection?”. The guys over at Anderson in Germany have been asking the same question apparently & they’ve gotten results - which will probably have Ferrari trying to poach a few of the German tuner’s staff members.
The Anderson workshop must be working in overdrive, because they’re churning out tuned up cars at quite a rate in the last few months & their latest offering is the Ferrari California.

It seems someone over at Aprilla is going to be in hot water: details of a ‘mistakenly’ posted service manual for a Dosduro 1200 have been posted online. Either that, or the “leak” was deliberate & was intended as a viral marketing campaign to generate buzz & excitement about the bike before its debut in November at the EICMA Show in Milan.
Now if you’re a supermotard fan, then you’ve probably got the Dosduro 750 model in your garage & you know just how much fun the bike (pictured above) is to ride. So you’ll be happy to know that it looks like Aprilla are bringing out a 1200 model later this year - which means you’ll have the versatility of the Dosduro with a beast of an engine.
They also seem to be bringing out a 1200 version of the Shiver, which is also a very sweet ride.
