Auto shows exist not only for the manufacturers’ presentations, but for tuners as well. 2009 Geneva Auto Show will be hosting the debut of Lumma Design CLR X 650 GT next week.
The German tuner has already worked on BMW X6 crossover last November, but after a few months some features were revised and modified. Just one look at the new vehicle makes great impression: the exterior is made in cookie-and-cream style: white body is trimmed with black stripes on the sides, carbon-fiber spoiler, black window surrounds and top. The additional effect of “a cookie” is made by the 23-inch two-tone alloy wheels.
The other features have sport origin: the suspension made the CLR X 650 higher by 1.4 inches, gas pedal power module from Lumma Design changed the calibration of the accelerator for faster response.
On the inside the crossover received leather and Alcantra seats and sport steering wheel with a shift indicator display.
There have been a lot of talks about the new BMW crossover and the manufacturer has finally decided to unveil its dark horse at the 2009 New-York Auto Show that will take place at Jacob Javits Center in a few days.
Manufacturers are not the only ones who present their designs at auto shows: German tuner, Irmscher Automobilau is going to the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show with the upgrade package for the 2010 Opel Astra.
Even tuners sometimes make mistakes. In April the Mustang tuner Roush started selling the new package which increases the price of 2010 Mustang by $15,000 and changes the outside and inside look of the car, puts new wheels and suspension.
German tuner Geiger Cars decided that CorvetteZ06 is not powerful enough with 505 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. After some work the modified car became much stronger: the tuner claims that the modifications help the Corvette engine to output 890 hp and 694 lb-ft of torque.
Everybody wants to lay their hands on the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class even before it made it to the dealers’ showrooms. German tuner Lorinser offers its vision of the car.
