One of Japans largest tuning companies has finally turned it’s hand to the latest Nisaan supercar, the GT-R.  It will go on sale in Japan later this year with no word yet about releases in other markets such as the US.  There are new wastegate actuators for the standard turbos, a boost control system, straight through exhaust systems and aluminium intercooler piping. They add up to power figures of 570PS (562bhp) and 540lb-ft of torque.

For now tak a look at the pictures and follow the link for a video.

We recieved word today that a second Bugatti Veyron crash has occured in the UK. The £840,000 supercar looks to have mowed down a large section of hedge-row before finally coming to a stop in a field completing a 180 degree spin. Details are scarce but it appears the driver lost control on a long curve in West Berkshire, UK. From the pictures it’s difficult to tell how badly damaged the car is and whether it’s repairable, it certainly looks worse that the last one. Thanks go to our friends at PureGT for sourcing the info. See below for more pictures…

The legendary Lagonda brand is about to be relaunched by Aston Martin in a move to expand into different markets and secure it’s long-term future. The Lagonda brand was joined to Aston Martin in 1947 in a move that bought both brands under new ownership. The Aston Martin brand becamemuch more successful, with Lagonda producing the ‘Aston Martin Lagonda’ Saloon in 1989, their last until now. Ulrich Bez (Aston Marin CEO) said ‘The Lagonda brand would allow us to develop cars which can have a different character than a sports car’. Taking into account the companies herritage and Bez’s statement, the Rapide that is currently in development fits the Lagonda mould and may be the first new lagonda. The companies centennial anniversary is next year.

This news isn’t official yet but we guess after the car got spotted in Tjechië, Ferrari will come up with a press-release soon. As you can read in the title, the 599 GTB is coming as convertible! The number of cars to be produced will probably stay low, to keep the exclusivity at the maximum. But is there anything more exclusive than this? Stay tuned for more news and pictures!

Our words of the second tuner for Nissan’s GT-R aren’t even cold and we can announce another one. Next in line to take care of Nissan’s flagship is the Japanese tuner Wald International. A lot of information isn’t known yet but on Wald’s homepage you can find ‘coming soon’ in giant letters. What we get are a few images of Nissan’s GT-R Sports Line, this is how Wald will call it. The bodykit is full of small details such as the front lights that became a little bit wider, new rimms and the mirrors got replaced. The refreshed parts are without doubt made from carbon fibre, no need to tell you why Wald chose that! The giant black rimms and the big diffuser make the car look better for all the people that get overtaken by this car. Now let’s hope that Wald announces the engines spec’s soon!

When the first Nissan GT-R’s are being spotted in the wild we can expect tuners to release a package for this car. There’s one official package yet and now Nissan Motorsport International Limited or as we say NISMO created a Club Sport package for the R35 GT-R. Making a superb car even better is never an easy task, even not for the best tuners out there. That’s why Nismo concentrated themselves on making the GT-R less heavy and give it a better handling.

Important part of the package is the adaptable Bilstein Damptronic shock absorbers. This won’t give you more driving confort but will make you able of doing faster laps on circuits.
