Bentley Continental GT with Premier 4509 by AfterFX

If thought of a twin turbo W12 engine that makes over 550 horsepower sounds enticing, what if it was in one of the best luxury coupes?  This is exactly the selling point of the Bentley Continental GT and its uber luxury style with performance to back it up.  Introduced in 2003, the Bentley GT has since been proven in numerous variations including the GTC putting out 600 horsepower and in 2009 the Supersports with even more racing inspiration.  Though really a limited “tuner” market, the Bentley does have its higher end ability to get customized with your typical exhaust system, ECU flash, wheels, and suspension lowering.  But one aspect of the car that can definitely be enhanced is the aerodynamics.  Premier 4509 by Veilside of Japan is known for having a slew of super exotic aero upgrades for cars including the Lamborghini Murcielago, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and more.

Our customers over at AfterFX hooked their Bentley with almost a Batman theme.  The matte black finish with red accents definitely drew a crowd at their recent show on the east coast.  Working with Performance Specialist Josh here at Vivid Racing, the boys at AfterFX added the Premier4509 carbon fiber rear wing to finish off the look of this Bentley.  Having first hand installed here a Premier4509 kit on a Murcielago, the quality of these parts is by far pure art.  The price however is not for the weak.  If you want to play, you got to pay!  Check out all our Veilside and Premier4509 Aero Kits here.

D2 Forged Wheels Lamborghini Murcielago Pure Craving

D2 Forged one of the top multi-piece and forged wheel designers has just dropped these new photos of this orange Lamborghini Murci with a set of their shallow concave CV2 wheels in 20 inch.  This “Bat” looks so mean, that we simply had to share it.  The wheels are a 20×8.5 in the front and a 20×13 in the rear.  They have been finished with gloss black centers, outer lip, and inner barrel.  The outer lip has then been OEM color matched with a simple tripe with the final treatment being the hand painted D2 center cap.  Vivid Racing carries D2Forged Wheels Here.

Official Release:

The Lamborghini Murcielago stands as the most iconic supercar of the last decade and continues to serve as every man’s dream car. It will go down in history as the car that makes little boys swoon, while turning grown men into swooning little boys! Lets not even mention the poster coverage of every teenage boys wall. Although there have been many contenders since 2002 when the car debuted in North America, none has captured the hearts and minds, like Lambo’s “Bat” (the translation of Murcielago).

Although the overall design and wedge shape of the Murcielago is timeless, its safe to say the wheels are certainly stuck in an era were the iPhone didn’t even exist! Enter D2FORGED Wheels. With surgical precision the new set of clean, sporty and aggressive D2FORGED CV2 Shallow Concave wheels have been finished in a full blacked out color scheme, with a colormatched outer pinstripe and hand painted “D2″
centercap small details in Lamborghini’s Arancio Borealis finish. With this one simple yet hugely effective enhancement, the Murcielago is revitalized, and ready to attack in 2013! Beyond the drop dead gorgeous looks, D2FORGED Wheels are built to perform, with precise fitment, and compatibility with all mechanical systems of this complex, exotic vehicle. All contenders must “Beg for Murci”!!

Nissan GT-R Track Wheels from Velocity Motoring

The Nissan GTR was designed to be the ultimate street car and certainly proved it by setting a Nurburgring lap record back in 2008.  For the past 4 years the GT-R has been one of the most popular tuner vehicles.  Equipped with state of the art on-board telemetry, giant Brembo brakes, and a 3.8L twin turbo engine, the GT-R is basically “Ready to Race”.  However with tracking the car comes alot of abuse and need for an extra set of track wheels and tires.  This is why our local Phoenix customer Wes decided to get these Velocity Motoring wheels for his track days.  Even though the GTR comes stock with 20 inch wheels, Wes decided to go with a same size 19 inch set to get better availability of race rubber.  The Velocity Motoring (VMR) wheels are the V710 7-Split Spoke design featuring a deep concave face.  The wheels are 19×11, 5×114.3, +25mm finished in a matte black.  When it comes to race rubber, now the doors are open for Toyo R888, Nitto NT-05, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, and more.  Check out more Nissan GTR Power Parts and GTR Wheels here.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo 007 Getaway Machine

One of our customers wanted to make sure that is work truck was safe and secure while fitting in with todays styles.  What started out as a stock Porsche Cayenne Twin Turbo soon turned into his personal secure command center.  The first step in this build was to make sure at anytime, the Cayenne could not be caught.  Its performance was upgraded with a Softronic ECU Flash adding 50+ horsepower.  A set of Agency Power diverter valves helped keep the boost pressure constant while a pair of BMC filters delivered more air to the turbos.  Fabspeed’s exhaust system for the Turbo and secondary cat bypass pipes helped boost power as well as letting others know this truck means business.  Making sure on those getaways he did not have any problems from the LAW, a K40 RL360 radar detection system was installed.  Giving 360 degrees of radar protection while being discreet on the interior, the K40 is the ultimate.  But when your on the move, you can forget about the potential of laser detection.  K40′s laser defuser system was also installed to make this Porsche completely stealth.

With the headlights and taillights smoked and the rear emblems blacked out, it was time to get the stance done.  The white Cayenne TT went for the super tough contrast of black wheels.  Not any black wheels, these are 24 inch Asanti AF146 wheels.  The 24×10.0 wheels featured all black hardware, center caps, inner gloss black lip, and outer carbon fiber look lip.  With the gloss black face and a set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero 285/30/24 tires, this truck was official.  There is only one problem, none of the cargo is safe.  So we added a custom built Truck vault for the rear of the Cayenne.  Fire proof, bomb proof, bullet proof, nobody is getting this sensitive material.  Featuring 2 drawers and heavy duty locking mechanisms, the ultimate package was complete.  While a hot topic in our nation and Arizona having the most unrestricted gun laws, this 50 caliber shows you that this customer is not afraid to protect his machine!

The photos were taken at Studio-3D by photographer Barry Gossage here in Arizona.

Boost Logic Releases a 4 inch Catback Exhaust for the Nissan GTR

Boost Logic based in the great state of Texas has a history of massive horsepower cars.  With a large background in 1000+ horsepower Toyota Supra’s, Boost Logic kicked it in gear several years ago to be one of the pioneers in the luxury/exotic market.  Having built Twin Turbo kits for the Ferrari 360, Lamborghini Gallardo, and 1000+ horsepower Nissan GT-R upgrades, Boost Logic has just released their latest product…  View all Boost Logic Performance Parts here.

Official Release:

Our early racing experiences with the GTR upon its release inspired the us to create the first 4” exhaust on the market for the R35. The Boost Logic 4″ Exhaust system features our Midpipe with resonators that flare the 3″ Midpipe tubes to a true 4″ pipe instead of an oval which reduces flow. The mandrel bent 4″ Exhaust section is as straight as possible while maintaining a true bolt on fitment that doesn’t sacrifice ground clearance while maximizing flow. The rear section of the 4in exhaust splits into dual 3″ piping with high quality race mufflers. The Boost Logic 4″ race exhaust has two choices in tips, Quad 5″ Slash Cut Exhaust Tips with either brushed stainless steel, a burnt titanium finish, or our in house designed “F16 Inspired” Afterburner tips that come black chrome or brushed stainless steel.

Sound Quality is fantastic, a very open race sound for your GTR, The GTR’s valve timing keeps the car extremely quiet at idle, but in any open throttle condition the volume is what should be expected from a full track car. This exhaust system offers the best of both worlds, supporting all BPU mods up to some of the most extreme power level GTR’s in the community!

• Largest Exhaust on the Market

• Bolt on to Factory Downpipes

• Low Angle Merges designed for highest flow

• One piece mandrel bent pipe sections for least welds

• Available with stainless or burnt titanium slash cut tips
