Some tuner cars are all about power. Some are all about styling. Some are all about nimble reflexes.
This one is all about music. This is not a car with a nice stereo, it’s a world-class stereo system with a car attached in case you need to go somewhere, and don’t want to stop listening.
German tuner shop CFC has done a little mechanical work on its Mark VI VW Golf GTI. With a new Eisenmann exhaust with stainless steel tips and an ECU flash, they brought power up to 265 horses. Adjustable springs complete the performance package.
They’ve done a little to the styling. A unique matte metallic paint and 19-inch ASA GT2 wheels tell the rest of the cars in traffic that they’re not sitting next to a stock GTI.
But what you really need to know about this car is this –MK Soundsystem built in a Pioneer 999 with no less than four output stages pumping into a Pioneer subwoofer. Fully-active Rainbow speakers in the front, plus midrange Speakers (100 Vanadium), and a 165 Vanadium Phase Plug woofer powered by two output stages complete the effect.
Ultimate Audio in Orlando, Fl has is proud to show off their latest creation: a customized Ferrari California. They lowered the suspension, with the California sitting on 21-inch front and 22-inch rear custom-built wheels that feature one-off floating center caps that are designed to mimic the factory-style upgrade wheels. Smoked lights all around along with tinted windows give it a nice stealthy look. The Escort radar keeps the “po-po” in check and the Kenwood DVD/ NAV keeps the occupants entertained and pointed in the right direction. The interior is unreal with a sea of creamy leather and blue stitching.
