Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sovrano by DMC

Last year DMC launched an upgrade program for the Maserati GranTurismo and now they have developed a similar package for the convertible. Design-wise, we notice the new look of the front bumper and a new spoiler lip that increases downforce. The hood has extra air inlets and outlets, while the wide side skirts feature zig-zag end-panels. At the back, the diffuser and trunk spoiler have been reworked. All of the added parts are made from carbon fiber. The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible by DMC has also been fitted with a sport suspension that lowers it by about 30mm and it rides on 255/30 R20 tires (front) and 305/30 R21 (back). Under that orange hood of the GranTurismo Sovrano is the same V8 4.7-liter engine that has received a supercharger and is now capable of pumping out an additional 150 hp (112 kW) and 60 lb-ft (82 Nm), for a grand total of 590 hp (440 kW) at 7,300 rpm and a peak torque of 348 lb-ft (472 Nm) at 5,400 rpm.

Lamborghini Aventador LP900 by DMC

Revealed for the first time back in March, the Lamborghini Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce by DMC brings not only visual changes to the Italian supercar but also a healthy power boost from the regular 700 HP (514 kW) to 900 HP (660 kW). On the design front, we notice the new look of the front spoiler and splitter lip that are mounted on the stock bumper and are manufactured from carbon fiber. The aerodynamic stability has been improved thanks to the new side skirts which DMC says that they act as diffusers. In addition, downforce has also been further improved by the carbon fiber rear diffuser and the added tunnel system, along with the rear wing spoiler. The changes do not end here as the engineers at DMC have decided to replace the overhead throttle valves with 12 custom single-intake throttle plates (one for each cylinder). The pressure modulators, injection nozzles, fuel lines and fuel pumps are some of the components that have been replaced by the tuner. While the stock exhaust system of the Lamborghini Aventador tips the scales at 34 kg, the new one weighs only 3.4 kg. The price tag for all these upgrades is 125,000 Euros (approximately $165,000). All parts are already on sale.

DMC Lamborghini Gallardo SOHO

DMC has introduced a new tuning program for the pre-facelift Lamborghini Gallardo. Dubbed the SOHO, the package transforms the model into a Gallardo LP570. It includes new bumpers, revised side skirts and an aggressive rear diffuser. To spruce up the interior, customers can order premium leather upholstery and carbon fiber trim. For added performance, the tuner can modify the engine to produce an additional 40 HP (29 kW) and 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the supercar to hit a new top speed of 322 km/h (200 mph). If that's not impressive enough, owners can purchase a stainless sports exhaust system which delivers a sensuous sound as well as an additional 28 HP (21 kW) and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) of torque.

Press release:

Germany, September 2012: With the Gallardo nearly phasing out, and fans already discussing what the successor's name might be, the market is suddenly filled with first Generation Gallardos, built from 2004-20008. German luxury tuner DMC is targeting potential buyers of those early-bird Gallardos with their body kit, which facelifts the car into a 2012 LP570 style: Introducing the DMC Lamborghini Gallardo "SOHO".
Body Kit
The basic message of the SOHO is clear, adding an aggressive look with a strong pinch of LP570 DNA.
To achieve greater downforce on the front, DMC offers a redesigned front bumper that adds the latest LP570 style to the old bull from St'Agata. In typical DMC tradition, its being manufactured in pure carbon fiber. Unlike other suppliers, who make a product of glass giber and add some carbon lips, DMC's whole product, is made of visible carbon fiber. If you ask if that's really necessary, since some parts would be painted anyhow? No, but while others opt for cheap, DMC opts for the best only.
The kit continues with perfectly matched side diffusers, a massive rear wing, and a new rear-fascia. A new rear diffuser completes the look and supports the redesigned aerodynamics of the car. Thanks to these aerodanymic components, the DMC Gallardo makes a clear sportier appearance, gets a refreshed 2012 look and leaves nothing else but exclusive impressions.
Interior
DMC prepares the cockpit of the Baby-Lambo providing even more sports racing atmosphere. For this, the tuners from Duesseldorf, Germany offer a complete make-over using carbon fiber & fine italian leathers. Clients that have the opportunity to bring their car to DMC will not recognize their Gallardo after the DMC treatment. Complete new leather and carbon fiber coatings leave no old look behind, a hand-made art that is performed by only a few masters left in Germany.

Engine
Thanks to DMC's Engine Performance facility in Zurich, Switzerland, the tuners were able to get some additional HP out of the Gallardo's V10 engine. Gallardos that seek tuning either come with a 500 or 520 HP base engine. No matter which of those 2 models are being modified, DMC will able to come up with an increased 40 PS (30 Nm), achieving a new top-speed of 322 km/h for both versions.
Exhaust
The DMC stainless sports rear silencer (end pipe) emits a sound similar to that generated from race tracks announcing the arrival of the blood-curdling steer. Positive side effect; an even sportier rear look. If that‘s not enough, customers can extend their exhaust system with a DMC sport metallic catalytic converter. This conversion also brings an additional 28 extra PS (50nM).

DMC Terra 650 based on Porsche Cayenne II

Taking a break from their core focus of tuning Lamborghini cars, DMC Design has released preliminary images of their styling and performance package for the Porsche Cayenne II dubbed, Terra 650. DMC reports a growing number of their clientele using the Porsche Cayenne or Panamera as their daily car, and therefore, thought a moderate tuning program for the Porsche models would be a good opportunity for cross sales.

Set to debut at this week's Top Marques Monaco show, the Terra 650 components were engineered to be direct replacement parts with an installation time of 1-2 hours. As a result, the exterior styling focuses on spoilers and diffusers but not bumper fascias as they require painting. All six replacement parts are made of carbon fiber and include hood, side skirts, side mirrors, rear wing spoiler, liftgate trim and graphics kit.

On the engine performance side, DMC decided to provide an upgraded turbo charger with turbine wheels made of titanium-aluminum. This helps reducing the inertia and thus gives a much better gas response. Fitted with DMC's brand new compressor wheels, the airflow is a maximum 10 percent greater than the original turbos. The result is an increased power output of 650 PS (478 kW / 641 bhp) instead of the original 500 PS (368 kW / 493 bhp).

DMC Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce tuning kit

Following initial images released a few weeks ago, DMC has released pricing and details for its new styling package, dubbed LP900 Molto Veloce, for the Lamborghini Aventador.

The German tuner specializing in Italian sports cars has given a mind numbing price of 125,000 euros (~$165,000) for their complete Aventator tuning package. However, broken down into their separate kits the pricing may seem a bit more palatable for some.

"The Molto Veloce aims at Aventador owners that seek to add a little more exclusivity to their LP700," says Thorsten Grebers, Marketing Manager at DMC Germany. "The LP900 engine upgrade clearly targets speed enthusiasts."

The least expensive kits are the new interior which costs 17,700 euros and the ADV1 wheel package which starts at EUR 7.800.

Next is the body kit which costs 19,500 euros and consists of a front fascia, lower lip spoiler and splitter, side skirts, rear wing spoiler and rear fascia with diffuser. All components are made of carbon fiber.

The meat and potatos are found under the hood, accounting for a head banging 80,000 euros. DMC has given the 6.5-liter V12 a complete valvetrain rebuild with 12 unique single intake throttle plates, new fuel pump and lines as well as pressure modulators and new injector nozzles. Also, the optimized engine electronics in addition to an electronic load pressure control system and a completely new wiring system has allowed DMC to rebrand the vehicle as the LP900 suggesting power output is now 900 HP (887 bhp / 662 kW) compared to its standard 700 PS (690 bhp / 515 kW).

DMC recommends clients fly their LP700 to the company's workshop in Germany or Switzerland for the engine modifications, but body components can be installed by one of DMC's global dealers.

Ferrari 458 Italia 'Milano' by DMC

German tuner DMC will be bringing its 458 Italia 'Milano' to the SEMA show this week.
Based on the Ferrari 458 Italia, DMC starts with a little engine tuning to squeeze a few more horses out of the 4.5 liter V8 unit. Output gets dialed up to 610 PS (449 kW / 602 hp) and 569 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque compared to the series 570 PS (420 kW / 562 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft). Top speed is also slightly higher now at 330 km/h (205 mph) compared to the standard 325 km/h (202 mph).
DMC makes its body kits out of carbon fiber using laser scans of the car to replace original parts. The aero kit here includes front bumper wings, side skirts, rear diffuser and fog-lamp aprons. The mirror covers are also done in carbon fiber.
The 458 Italia 'Milano' features a stainless-steel exhaust system and a wheel set with 9J x 21-inch rims wrapped in VA 255/30ZR21 tires at the front and 12J X 22-inch rims at the back fitted with 335/25/ZR22 tires.
This being SEMA, a sound system package was also installed on the car, courtesy of Hollywood-based sound specialists Al & Ed.

OFFICIAL: DMC 458 Italia "Milano" on SEMA 2011

DMC Press Release:
Official Premier at the SEMA Motor Show 2011: DMC refines the Ferrari 458 Italia
German luxury tuner DMC celebrates the official premier of it's 458 Italia "Milano" at the SEMA Motorshow 2011, and it's a stunner.
While the engineers were able to come up with a beautiful body kit, it's no doubt that the engine make-over is the true star of this car. Creating 610 hp vs. the regular 570 from the 4,5 L V8 engine makes anybody forget that this is the smallest of Ferraris currently available. Torque was increased from 540 Nm to 569 Nm, giving you that extra push upon starting your journey. And betold journey may be over sooner than you think, because DMC's Italia is faster than 330 KM per hour, compared with the 325 km/h of the house stallion.
Supporting the increased performance are the carbon fiber parts presented in this kit: The wings located in the front bumper were re-engineered from visible carbon fiber, just as were the side skirts, the rear diffuser and the fog-light aprons. Most significant and certainly a unique signature of the kit is the pair of carbon fiber mirrors. They are, like all other components of this kit, molded stand-alone carbon fiber parts that exchange for the OEM items. Instead of using trims that cover OEM parts with a carbon layer, DMC's engineers went back to the drawing board and manufactured these items from ground up:
After a thorough 3D scan of the original parts, the design was improved in the computer using CAD solutions. The computer images were then CNC'ed into a negative mold of these parts, using industry quality steel. It is these molds that are used to bake carbon fiber in a vacuum environment in auto-clave production ovens. The result are weight-saving, extremely light carbon fiber parts.
The newly designed 458 Italia exhaust system is made from t309 grade stainless steel and has performance driven 4-2-1 headers, and valved exhaust. It comes with protective heat shields to protect the stallion from high temperatures and increase performance lost from 'heat soak'. The DMC heat shields also protect the vehicle in the case of leaking fluids igniting due to contact with the heat from an exhaust system. Compared with the original exhaust, DMC's solution shaves a whopping 19 KG off the car, making the car lighter and performance-driven.
A remote to manually keep the exhaust valves open is available optionally, in markets that allow for this solution.
To complete the optical package, DMC presents a combination of 21" and 22" rims (9Jx21 front / 12Jx22 rear) that are meant to control the newly added power and carbon lightness of the car. As for Pneus, DMC is offering VA 255/30 ZR 21 and HA 335/25 ZR22 respectively, rounding up a perfect styling package for the 458 Italia.
DMC's "Milano" Styling Kit is shown at SEMA booth No. 48146. We welcome you to see the car and enjoy the special sound package which was installed by Al&Ed, an audio sound specialist based in Hollywood.
