Filed under: Aftermarket , Performance , Truck , Ford We normally associate with Roush Performance with the Ford Mustang , as we’ve tested several examples over the year from the race-ready 427R Trak Pak to the current 540 horsepower RS3 . The Michigan tuner is now looking to expand, though, and has recently introduced a new line of performance products aimed at another segment of the Ford product line, the F-150 . The F-150′s new powertrains are the main focus of Roush’s product blitz, with supercharger systems available for both the 5.0-liter and 6.2-liter V8s.

Official: Veilside bets on Black with Mercedes SL body kit

Instead, Veilside has taken to the Tokyo Auto Salon to unveil a conversion kit that turns the outgoing SL into something closer to the top-of-the-line SL65 AMG Black Series .

Official: Ruf stretches Porsche Panamera for China

Filed under: Aftermarket , Sedan , Performance , China , Porsche , Luxury You think the prom limo market in America has a propensity for stretching anything with wheels? Just look at China .

Filed under: Aftermarket , Performance , Hatchback , Tokyo Auto Salon , Fiat The Abarth 695 was originally intended as a Fiat 500 -based tribute to Ferrari . Hence the 695 Tributo Ferrari moniker. But this one looks more like a salute to McLaren . Created by Japanese tuner Office-K and unveiled this week at the Tokyo Auto Salon , this special Abarth has had its Scuderia Red paint hidden under a full chrome vinyl wrap – similar to the one we reported on back in May – and capped with a tricolore racing stripe up the nose.
