Here we have a Lumma Design BMW M5 that was spotted in Dubai outside the Dubai Mall. You may be thinking, overkill? Sure it looks impressive from the outside, but the blinding orange paint would get old after a week or so. Well the matte black stripes look pretty decent for a start, but the new bonnet vents are not the most appealing BMW M5 pieces we’ve seen. So, what exactly makes this BMW M5 CLR 500 RS overkill? Check out the over the top interior and tell me what you think. Carbon fiber is pleasant, but there comes a point where you have to say, “that’s enough.”

The Hamann tuning firm is a well known BMW and luxury car tuner, but have now added the Fiat 500 Abarth to their list of modified cars since it is extremely popular. This new program for the Cinquecento features a new aero kit to make it much more aggressive. Hamann also offers several performance packages to the car to a new level. As for the aerodynamics, they chose to modify the Fiat with a new front skirt, integrated LED daytime running lights, wing extensions, side skirts, and a redesigned rear skirt with Ferrari-like diffuser. However, the performance gains for the small engine Fiat 500 Abarth are jaw dropping.

Earlier this week Heico Sportiv, the well know Volvo car tuning company released their latest project based on the all new Volvo C70. The stunning hard top convertible Volvo received several styling and performance upgrades to let it stand out of the crowd. Adding a touch of sportiness is a new front spoiler and rear diffuser, complemented by 20-inch forged wheels that definitely get the job done. Under the hood, the Volvo C70 diesel models received an ECU tuning upgrade from the guy at Heico Sportiv, however performance numbers have not been released yet.

Do you remember the Ken Block videos drifting his Subaru STi for DC Shoes, and recently acquiring a new Ford Fiesta for the snow drift scene? Well now there is a new competitor on the block, Tanner Foust, in his race built Scion TC. Why they chose a Scion TC for the drift track? Beats me, but it does look good from the exterior, and is definitely spewing out clouds of smoke from the rear wheels. At least it’s not a boxy Scion xB or tiny Scion xA. Right now we just have a teaser video, however a ton of pictures from AutoBlog. They recently announced a new drift series coming in March, which will feature prospect Tanner Foust and his Scion TC taking on the dangerous road, Mulholland Drive in California.

AK-Car Design is a less popular German tuning firm that has released this new styling kit for the Mercedes SLS AMG. The new package for the gullwing Mercedes model looks good, and we will remember these tuners if they continue to put out quality work like this. The performance was left stock for the engineers at Mercedes-Benz to worry about, but the highly anticipated car did receive a unique aero kit. Included in the package are new front and rear bumpers, a front grille, side skirts, and a redesigned diffuser with two sets of integrated exhaust tips.

Dodge has unveiled the Furious Fuchsia special edition 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and Challenger SRT8 for their 40th Anniversary of the legendary model. Not too sure how ‘furious’ pink is, but the all new Dodge Challenger packs a powerful HEMI V8 with an unmistakable design and world-class handling. Dodge avoided tuning the engine and stuck with the most significant highlight of the car, the exterior shade of Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat with Pearl White leather seats. The limited edition Challenger rides on large 20-inch polished aluminum rims wrapped in all-season high performance tires to complete the wheel package.
