“The Z06 is already wonderfully light weight,” commented Jason Harding, performance parts sales, Katech Performance. “We knew, however, that we could improve the power-to-weight ratio with several select modifications.” Katech’s Performance Appearance Package lets its consumers with a matching carbon fiber rear spoiler to improve on down force; lift-off carbon fiber World Challenge hood vents in the engine compartment, reducing the weight by 50% to provide more down force.

Acceleration performance has improved with their added power: Reaching top speeds of 0-60 mph in a short time of 4.1 seconds. Only reasons why this car can achieve top speeds of that magnitude and accelerates that fast are due to their 19-inch high-performance tires from Pirelli or YOKOHAMA. The tires range in sizes of 235/35 ZR 19 and side wheels of 265/30 ZR 19. The high-adjustable BRABUS coil-over suspension features gas-pressure shocks with ten selectable settings for bound and rebound.

2008 PPI PS TT

The PPI Automotive Design has been linked with the Audi TT. The Audi specialist that has given the name to the first generation of the Audi TTS comes from Swabia, Germany. This car comes to the table as the second generation with this model. This car’s engine, the Turbo FSI engine comes from the Audi TT. 180 kW with an Nm torque between 1800 and 5000 rpm are double figures noticeable on the timer.

This car’s performance can reach from 0-60 mph in an arguably 6.3 seconds. Also, this car can fly to a top speed of 155 mph. This car’s interior has not only been done on the outside, but also the inside. PPI offers their customers with different selections of carbon fiber, walnut, leather or Alcantara for the richer half of people.

Everything that PPI’s workshops have done is hand-crafted to set that authentic taste coming from their company. I would recommend this car for people who would like to take the sweeter things in life.

Rolls-Royce Pininfarina Hyperion

Pininfarina has just released its toughest model out there in the Pebble Beach Concours at August 2008. Overall, its size and build has been a question to all of us. In all of heritage and tradition, based on the Rolls Royce, this takes the cake in history between these two models.

It has made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show; also Pininfarina has showed off its highly anticipated electric cars: Ferrari California and the Maserati Quattroporte MY 08. All of these cars are designed by the only Pininfarina in Paris.

In order to please other companies, Pininfarina has added a different view of creativity and ability to interpret other companies. This car, I would say will make a good impression on its buyers and other companies.
