Anderson Germany Rolls Out Tuned Audi Q7 V12 Diesel with 550HP

Tuning specialist Anderson Germany has got its hands on the most insane version of Audi's Q7 SUV, the flagship V12 TDI model. In stock form, the 12-cylinder oil-burner generates an output of 500 horsepower and a ludicrous 1,000 Nm (757.56 lb-ft) of torque from six liters of displacement, enough to get the all-wheel drive model to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.5 seconds. A new air filter and software optimizations from Anderson Germany help increase output by 10 per cent to 550-horsepower.

The tuning firm also fitted the Q7 V12 TDI with new brakes featuring eye-popping red-calipers and a lowering module for the suspension.

Next up on Anderson Germany's list is the exterior enhancements, which come in the form of a carbon fiber package for the front grille surround, mirror caps, rear diffuser and roof rails, while all logos, the air-vents, the twin tail pipes and the grille are finished in a shiny black color. The smoked lights at the back and a new set of 22-inch alloy wheels with black spokes shod in 295/30 22 tires all around, are also part of the package.

For the interior, the tuning company proposes white carbon-applications on the dashboard, steering wheel and doors, while the seating surfaces and door panels are upholstered in leather and quilted black Alcantara with contrasting white seems. Optionally, Anderson Germany also offers a matching child seat. The new LED lights round off the interior upgrades.

The German tuner has not given pricing yet on the new Q7 V12 TDI package.

Anderson Germany Introduces its Take on the Bentley Continental GT Supersports

Tuning house Anderson Germany has the solution to anyone looking to upgrade their... dreadfully plain Bentley GT Supersports. Starting with the performance enhancements, the chief modification to the Bentley's inner works is the application of a tuning kit, which fits a reprogrammed ECU, sports air filters and a lighter valve controlled sports exhaust system with free-flow catalysts.

The additions are good enough for an extra 65-ponies lifting the twin-turbocharged W12 engine's total output from 630HP to 695-horsepower.

Anderson Germany also developed a more aggressive looking body kit that includes, new front and rear aprons, side skirts, a boot lid spoiler and a rear diffuser. Production of the body kit is limited to 300 units. The kit is complemented by a new set of 22-inch alloy wheels coated in black and 285/30-22 high performance tires.

Interior touches include a mix of Alcantara and leather upholstery for the seats, door panels and steering wheel, plus heaps of decorative carbon fiber trim.

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.
