Here we have the fastest Opel built by the tuning company Steinmetz, the street legal Opel Insignia Sports Tourer OPC. Setting a new top speed record of 287.4 km/h, the new Opel Insignia accomplished this staggering number in October during a test run at the Nardo ring in Italy. The track in Italy allows the driver to reach the cars maximum speed, without ever having to turn the wheels, thanks to its large 12 kilometer oval circuit. Tuning the performance outside the engine bay, Steinmetz installed a custom aerodynamic kit that included new front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and a new front grille. The Opel Insignia also received a sport suspension kit, along with 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels, and a few extra chrome features for the exterior.

The tuning company Amuse from Japan recently unveiled a new body kit for the Nissan 370Z called the Vestito, Italian for dress or suit. Upgrades include a new front bumper with carbon fiber integrated on the sides, front lip, side skirts, stretched fenders, and a new rear bumper with a large wing above. The whole kit features simple, yet clean lines that transform the Nissan 370Z to an even more aggressive looking sports car. Customers can choose any wheel package they’d like, but shown here are BBS LM-R wheels wrapped in high performance tires.

Aiming to become the world’s fastest production car, 9ff has modified the Porsche 911 nicknamed the GT9-R to produce an amazing 1120 horsepower. Last year the tuning company revealed the GT9 which accomplished 910 hp with a top speed of 409 km/h. This years model boasts a 4.0-liter six cylinder engine capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, 300 km/h in 15.8 seconds, and claim bragging rights of a 414 km/h top speed. This Porsche 911 GT9-R definitely has the potential to become the world’s fastest production car, since it beat out the SSC Ultimate Aero TT which had a top speed of 412 km/h. The only thing limiting the new car from 9ff is that they are only going to build twenty of these models at first, however all will be available worldwide.

After several pictures and a made up story of how this 1.6 million dollar Bugatti Veyron crashed in to a lake, we now have video proof of the accident! The owner, Andy House claimed that he was distracted by a low flying pelican that caused him to crash into the lake. This video shows no evidence of a pelican, and an updated report claims that he had dropped his cell phone. Hmm…the whole story is ironic because Andy House owns Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, Texas and the company specializes in repair and restore of crashed exotics! Is it possible he did it on purpose for some extra promotion of his company? I highly doubt it since the Bugatti Veyron is one of the most expensive cars in the world. Hit the jump for the video and aftermath pictures.

Here we have the Stormster based off the Porsche Cayenne, and it is the first electric SUV brought to us by eRUF Automobile. eRUF has revealed their latest work on the SUV after unveiling the first electric sports car back in October 2008.

This isn’t the prettiest Mercedes GLK we’ve seen, but it does hold the title for being the fastest SUV in the world, custom tuned by Brabus. First off, Brabus swapped the factory engine with one of Mercedes V12 power plants to claim a whopping 211 mph top speed. The new V12 under the hood was increased from 5.5-liters to 6.3-liters, and then Brabus hooked it up with two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and a large stainless steel exhaust system with high flowing catalytic converters. Showing off typical Brabus performance numbers, the modified Mercedes GLK boasts 740 hp and 995 ft lbs of torque.

We never knew that the Batmobile also came in limousine form – obviously neither does Batman or the creators of the fictional character but that’s beside the point. The limo is inspired from the Batmobile that was featured in the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton. You can see more pictures of the BatLimo as well as a video that we discovered on Youtube after the jump.

Ferrari is back into the business of coachbuilding as the Italian supercar maker unveiled the second one-off special after the P4/5 it built for American collector (and millionaire…) James Glickenhaus back in 2006.
