Hennessey HPE700 Kit For AMG 5.5L Biturbo V8
Hennessey Performance announced a new performance upgrade package for Mercedes AMG 5.5 liter biturbo V8 engine. It’s an HPE700 pacakge, and there’s a clue. It boosts the output of the V8 engine – which is used in almost all ’63′ AMG cars; CLS63, E63, S63, G63, GL63, ML63, and more recently SL63 – from 550 or so horsepower to a massive 700 bhp. The torque power is just ridiculous: 800 lb-ft.
Hennessey has not revealed the performance figures for this kit, but given the specs of the standard engine, they should be insane. The first Mercedes to get the package is the E63 shown here, which also gets upgrade brakes and suspension, new wheels and a carbon aero kit with front lip and bootlid spoiler. Here’s the ingredients of Hennessey HPE700 package:
HPE700 Upgrade Package Includes:
- • HPE Air Induction System Modification
- • HPE Engine Management Calibration
- • Professional Installation
- • HPE Engine Management Calibration
- • Dyno Tuning
- • Hennessey Exterior Badging
- • Serial-Numbered Dash & Engine Plaques
- • 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Limited Warranty Available

Video: Tesla to show delivery ceremony for new Model S electric sedan online
Tesla Motors today is making history – at least for its company. The Palo Alto, CA based company is officially commencing delivery for the new Model S electric sedan today (even though it already kind of started).
Check out more news on the Tesla Model S.
Tesla will be showing the delivery ceremony live from Fremont, California starting 3:30 pm Pacific Time (6:30 pm EST) later today – you can watch it all happen right here.
“For three years we have developed this car from the ground up with persistence and passion,” Tesla said in a statement. “Thank you to those who believed it could be done. You’re the reason we’re here today, delivering the car of the 21st century. We won’t stop until every car on the road is electric.”
BMW Spreading 750i’s Higher-Output V-8 to 5-series, 6-series for 2013
June 22, 2012 at 2:42pm by Alexander Stoklosa
Following an announcement for Europe, BMW has confirmed that the output for the U.S.-spec V-8–powered iterations of the 2013 5- and 6-series will increase by 45 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque. Specifically, the 2013 550i, 550i GT, and 650i coupe and convertible will inherit the same higher-output version of the brand’s twin-turbocharged V-8 as the latest 7-series and new 6-series Gran Coupe.
The extra power comes from the addition of Valvetronic—BMW’s variable valve timing and lift system—to the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8. BMW’s move to install the more powerful N63Tü engine in the 6-series coupe and convertible, as well as the 5-series and 5-series GT (yes, that misshapen coupe still roams the streets freely), is hardly a surprise. When BMW launched the 2013 6-series Gran Coupe, we speculated that its meatier V-8 could spread to BMW’s other models that offer eight-cylinder power. It makes sense for BMW to have all of its V-8–powered offerings propelled by the same powerplant, but strangely the eight-cylinder versions of the X5 and X6 will keep the lower-output iteration of the 4.4-liter engine..

BMW Super Bild Of The Day: The open highway
Summer is officially here and for most of us that love to drive, getting out on the open highway is as much a necessity as breathing.
We know all too well the weekend routine, you spend all of Saturday cleaning and detailing your BMW, making sure every aspect of the car is spotless. For the next morning is your Sunday morning drive, while the roads are less travelled and you can open up your car just enough to put a huge grin on your face. But also to stop at that magical spot along your favorite road to take some pictures that you’ve been dying to take for months.
In the US, one such road that is both scenic enough for that wallpaper quality picture you’ve been dying to take as well as putting a huge grin on your face is California US1, better known as the Pacific Coast Highway.
An exhilarating driving experience, this twisting, cliff-hugging, 123-mile (198-kilometer) route along the central California coast takes about five hours to complete at a leisurely pace. Designated an All-American Road—among the nation’s most scenic.
The route starts in historic Monterey, visits the art colony of Carmel, and threads through Big Sur, where mountains plunge into the Pacific. Farther south, the landscape mellows to oak-studded hills as the road passes Hearst Castle on its way to Morro Bay. In places, the road has narrow shoulders and sharp drop-offs, so staying alert is a must.

Video: Pagani Zonda 760 RS Spotted on the Streets of Chile
Pagani, Supercar Videos — By Lawrence on June 22, 2012 at 4:43 pm — No Comments
A couple of videos have emerged showing the Pagani Zonda 760 RS on the streets of Chile. We can confirm that it sounds fantastic! The owner seems to use the car quite regularly and it has been spotted on the streets several times before. The Zonda 760 RS has joined two other Zonda’s in the owners garage including a Zonda F Convertible and a Zonda R. It has been pictured with the owners Ferrari Enzo, F40 and 288 GTO as well.
The Pagani Zonda 760 RS is the most extreme Zonda ever. It features a 760hp engine, some 90hp more than the Zonda Cinque and 20hp more than the Zonda R. Instead of lifting the engine from the Zonda R, it uses a Zonda F as the basis with a range of enhancements, most likely lifted in part from the Zonda R. This means that it has been extensively tested to ensure it is capable of such power outputs.
