Anderson Germany's Bentley GT Speed Elegance Edition

Leaving no stone unturned, Anderson Germany has presented a new tuning take on the Bentley Continental GT Speed. Called the Elegance Edition, the package enhances the British grand tourer with number of performance and styling goodies.


Exterior dress-up pieces include a carbon fiber bonnet with additional air intakes and a new boot lid made from the same lightweight material. Carbon fiber can also be found on the new front and rear bumpers, with the LED daytime running lights, side skirts and new chrome grilles up front completing the body kit which is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

In the interior, the cabin has been decked out in carbon fiber trim while the seats are now finished in black leather with contrasting white stitching.

The Continental GT Speed leaves Bentley's factory in Crewe with a 610HP W12. Thanks to a series of modifications including software optimization, a new air filter and a sport exhaust system with additional Rennkats, output is lifted to 695-horsepower. A remote-controlled valve adjusting the exhaust that allows the driver to choose from three different noise levels is also part of the package.

Anderson Germany did not release pricing for the Elegance Edition.

Anderson Germany unleashes the Audi R8 V10 Racing Edition with 585 HP

Anderson Germany is just one in a long line of tuners who think they can make the Audi R8 better. Called the Racing Edition, the Düsseldorf-based tuner's R8 V10 has gone through a number of external and internal modifications, including an engine upgrade that increases peak power to 585 hp (436 kW).

The appearance can make or break a tuned car's fortune, so the Germans offer a complete visual kit, meant to make the body look better and also more aerodynamic. The material of choice here is carbon fiber. The lightweight material is found on the aggressive front apron, the discrete rear spoiler, rear diffuser, rear window bordering and the exterior mirrors.

Even the 19-inch wheels, which are wrapped around in 235/35 and 295/30 tires, receive a carbon finish with orange accents.

What about the interior? You guessed it: carbon fiber all the way, combined with leather and orange stitching. The packet includes carbon door trims, radio frame, ashtray, gear stick frame, hand brake knob and steering wheel.

To gain those 60 extra ponies, engineers used a new, valve commanded exhaust system, which is also 17 kg (37 lbs) lighter, better air filters and modified engine management software.

Anderson Germany didn't release performance figures, but they claim top speed has increased by 12 km/h or 7.5 mph. Also, pricing and availability are not known yet.

Anderson Germany Tuned 430 Scuderia is a Fighter Plane in Disguise

Anderson Germany has taken its tools to the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, preparing this matte gray example. The most obvious exterior change is the fighter plane style paintjob with black bonnet stripes and the carbon fibre door mirrors and rear diffuser.

Anderson has also added carbon fibre to parts of the engine compartment. Black rims with larger tires (235/30 R 20s at the front and 325/25 R 20s at the rear), tinted windows and smoked taillights / indicators round out the exterior package.

Under the hood, the Dusseldorf-based tuners have added a stainless steel exhaust (with three-way adjustable exhaust note), sports air filter and ECU tune, bringing the Scuderia's peak power up to 575 hp.

Inside there is leather and alcantara wrapped seats and the expected carbon fibre touches. A high end sound system with new speakers, amplifier and subwoofer has also been added.

The tuner has not offered any word on pricing or availability.

Anderson Germany Crafts 670HP Mercedes CL65 AMG Black Edition

If the stock Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG doesn't offer quiet enough power or pizazz for your tastes, Anderson Germany will try to make good use of your money and turn Stuttgart's coupe into something a bit more special. Heck, they'll even pick up your car from your house and return it all zinged up - though we're assuming this offer stands for its Germany-based clients only. And by zinged up, Anderson Germany means it will upgrade both the styling and performance of the CL65 AMG.

Starting with the engine modifications, a remapped ECU along with free-flow air filters and a custom exhaust system with racing catalysts and mufflers, help push the [2010MY] V12's output to 670-horsepower, up from 612HP.

Aesthetically, the German tuner begins by applying a satin black finish that can be complemented by an optional carbon exterior package covering the mirrors, window frames, front grille, door handles, boot trim and all the air vents.

There's also a new rear lip spoiler while the car rides on gloss-black 22-inch alloy wheels with carbon edging in jet black, wrapped in Michelin performance tires size 275/25-22 up front and 295/25-22 at the back.

The interior gets some attention as well, with a new two-tone leather treatment featuring a diamond pattern, carbon fiber trim finish for numerous parts including the mirror, central console and steering wheel, an upgraded audio system and Alcantara on the roof lining and pillars.
