Loder1899 Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo At Essen Motor Show

Alongside the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (see here), Loder1899 also presented a supped up version of the new Ford Mondeo at this year’s Essen Motor Show. The frost white Mondeo was fitted with a front lip, rear skirt and roof spoiler made out of real carbon fiber, while the bonnet was finished in a special edition Stainless steel look. The wheel/tire combination for the Mondeo is the 9x20 inch alloy wheel Sins in a shiny, black finish. Alternatively, Loder1899 offers the 9x20 inch design wheel W1 in a special edition Polish glam also in a black, glossy finish with polished spokes. -Continued

The standard 220 hp Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo (same engine as the Focus ST) gains an extra 50 hp, thanks to the motor management and the sport exhaust system. Loder1899 also offers a 4-way adjustable sport suspension system. This enables the driver to adjust vehicle height, gradient, pressure level and strut compression to personal taste and requirements.

For this year’s Essen Motor Show (Dec. 1 to 9), Loder1899 presented the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante. The Bavarian tuner’s bodykit consists of carbon fibre accessories (front-lip, rear diffuser and engine cover) combined with the newly created 20-inch alloy wheel Vertigo Viginti. To finish off the look, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante is also equipped with Loder1899´s 35mm lowering kit. -Continued after the jump

In terms of mechanical changes, there’s a sport exhaust system that includes a stainless steel sport catalytic converter. At 4000 rpm the flap control opens, which allows the engine to breathe out more effectively. Thanks to this optimized exhaust system power has increased from 385 hp to 425 hp.

DUNE Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 499HP Premieres In Essen

Delta says that the 499 HP DUNE project accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mpg) in less than 5 seconds. -Continued

Delta4x4 has also fiddled around with the suspension (+100 mm ground clearance) and the tires as the DUNE sits on new custom light wheel elements IV with 11x23in mounted Continental Cross Contact tires in 305/40 R23. Finally, integrated into the new front spoiler is a Warn winch while the stainless steel roof-rack system and the fender extension contain filigree PIAA main-beam headlights that promise to turn night into day.

AC Schnitzer ACS1 3.5i: 360 HP BMW 135i Coupe

We begin our Essen Motor Show report today with the AC Schnitzer prepped BMW 135i Coupe. The ACS1 3.5i is equipped with a modified version of the standard twin turbocharged 3.o-liter straight six engine which now delivers 360 instead of 306 HP while maximum torque rises from 400 to 450 Nm. According to the German tuner, the ACS1 3.5i accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than five seconds (135i Coupe: 5,3 sec) while the top speed has risen from 250 km/h (155 mph) to an impressive 300 km/h (187 mph). -Continued after the jump

Along with the engine upgrades, AC Schnitzer has improved the 135i Coupe's handling with a sport tuned suspension and a new strut brace for the front, to further reduce the torsion of the body.

Naturally, AC Schnitzer offers a full bodykit for the 135i Coupe, but to be honest, we don't care much about it and if anything else, we could have done without the 'Turbo' logo at the rear-end of the vehicle which looks like it was stolen from a pimped Zastava Yugo.

The bodykit consists of a new front-grille, front spoiler, rear skirt insert, rear wing and rear roof spoiler combined with 19-inch alloy wheels 225/35R19 tires. Finally, AC Schnitzer offers a wide range of accessories for the interior including a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel and carbon fibre decorative trim.

VW Tiguan R-Line To Debut In Essen

Volkswagen will host the world premier of the newly designed R Line sport package for the Tiguan SUV at the 2007 ESSEN Motor Show in Germany (Dec. 1 to 9). We remind you that at the 2006 ESSEN show the German carmaker had unveiled the R Line packages for the Golf, Touran, Passat and Touareg model ranges (click here for details). -Continued after the jump

For the time being we only have the first official images in our hands, as VW hasn’t released details yet. However, judging from the other R Line packages, we suspect that Volkswagen will offer buyers the choice of “exterior” and “interior” kits.
