    REIL Performance Porsche 911 GT3

    The Porsche 911 GT3 has received a minor tuning job from the guys at REIL Performance. They are a subsidiary of MR Car Design and have hooked up the 997 GT3 with a mild package. It starts with an ECU tune for the Akrapovic sport exhaust system installed underneath. This boosts the numbers to 455 horsepower while REIL also added a new suspension with HLS hydraulic lift kit.

    Even though the Porsche 911 GT3 is a great car that really doesn’t need improvements, these German tuners have no limits. Inside the sports car is an optional graphics package with the tuners logo and a panther look on the rear fenders. Pricing for the REIL Performance Porsche 911 GT3 has not yet been released.

    ASI Lexus LX 570

    Over in Japan, the tuners at ASI have been developing the “Invader” package for the Lexus LX 570 SUV. Targeting both exterior styling and engine performance, the tuning firm did a superb job at customizing the Lexus sport utility vehicle. Under the hood, ASI worked on the 5.7-liter V8 engine to boost its power output from 383 hp to 600 horsepower. This allows the full-size Lexus LX 570 SUV to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in less than 5 seconds. A stock Lexus LX can only accelerate to 62 mph in 7.4 seconds, so the performance tuning was phenomenal. However, the exterior styling on the Lexus LX is what catches everyone’s eyes.

    ASI developed a whole new body kit for the Lexus LX 570, including several pleasing aesthetic pieces. The exterior features a new front fascia with “Invader” in the front grille, and new bumper with large air intakes, fog lights, carbon fiber elements, and LED daytime running lights. Moving along the Lexus SUV, you will find new side skirts with a bold design and two-tone finish.

    Furthermore, the Lexus LX 570 rides on a clean set of bespoke rims, finished in a glossy black. Inside the SUV is a full leather upholstery, along with red elements throughout the cabin. This tuning kit for the Lexus comes at a great time, because there are not many performance packages available for this current model.

    Royal Muffler BMW M3

    A tuning company from California, called Royal Muffler have released this modified BMW M3 with a sharp look. A new aerodynamic body kit consisting of a redesigned front bumper, side skirts, and an aggressive bonnet were installed. Their tuning firm has over 30 years of experience customizing sports cars, and this BMW M3 is the latest work. With a unique white and black paint scheme, the cars roof was painted black, and the carbon fiber hood with several air vents adds extra style.


    Details for this package are still limited, but it is likely that Royal Muffler performed some ECU tuning to increase the horsepower numbers. They have only released these images along with a teaser video below for the BMW M3. There is an aftermarket exhaust system hooked up underneath, so there are some performance gains from that. More information will be included once the company has its official release.

    Shelby Ford Mustang GT350

    Recently Shelby motor sports unveiled their latest supercharged concept for the all new 2011 Ford Mustang GT350. This is the 45th anniversary edition of the first GT350, and the new Shelby Mustang is based off the 5.0-liter Ford Mustang GT. With this build, they aimed to create a car that was light, nimble, and powerful with the help from Ford Racing, Goodyear, Borla, Cragar, and Baer. All segments of this race car were modified to create the perfect sports car commemorating the GT350, which was discontinued in 1970.


    Under the hood, the Ford engine received ECU tuning and tweaking for the superchargers to be able to produce 500 hp. The Mustang exterior received an all new styling kit with improved aerodynamics. Included in the package is a new front bumper, front splitter, hood with air scoops, side skirts, rear bumper, and deck lid filler panel.


    Improving the handling are Cragar lightweight wheels wrapped in sticky Goodyear tires, and underneath are Baer high performance brakes. Each of the Mustang GT350 models will be finished in the traditional white with Shelby Guardsman blue Le Mans stripes. Custom GT350 badges will be placed inside and out of the Ford, and feature a limited edition Shelby serial number. Pricing for this complete package is $33,995, and this does not include the price of the car from the factory.
