Carbon fibre everywhere the eye can see: The ultralight and high-strength material of carbon fibre finds ample uses even in the series version of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. MANSORY purposefully continued to use it in the completely reworked MANSORY CARBONADO as the main component of all its bodywork components. Every single element of the MANSORY aerodynamic design is made in prepreg autoclave process in perfect surface quality and precision-built into the vehicle. For the first time in the world a carbon fibre weave with a stealth-look is being used, which is being exclusively deployed by MANSORY in vehicle construction. More…
OSIR Design has added a line of products for the 2009+ Audi A3 and specifically the Sportback. The firm, perhaps known best for its carbon fiber pieces, is also a purveyor of subtle aerodynamic and design elements as well as interior trim pieces. Some of this new range, like front chin splitter attachments, will fit [...] More…
TT RS owners (and S line competition owners) take note, the carbon fiber part purveyors over at OSIR Design have added a new carbon fiber decklid spoiler compatible with your car. The firm has sent us over some new photos that show the wing that looks to be available wither with minor ribbing and also [...] More…
We’re big fans of OSIR’s various carbon fiber components mainly because they don’t try to reinvent the wheel. The firm is good at picking OE components like chin edges and rear valances, then recreating them in carbon fiber for a very OE+ look and feel. We were certainly interested then when we learned they’d launched [...] More…
What can we say, we’re suckers for OE+ modifications that look like they could be factory and we also love a great way to improve your interior. On that note, enter Neidfaktor Hamburg. The German tuning firm is often more likely to be seen creating great stuff for R8s, and often made of carbon fiber. [...] More…
The TAG Heuer CARRERA CMC CONCEPT CHRONOGRAPH is one of TAG Heuer’s most futuristic interpretation yet of the iconic Carrera, the motor-sports inspired watch designed by Jack Heuer in 1963. Made of the identical space-age carbon composite pioneered in Formula One and the aerospace industry, and powered by the brand’s in-house designed and manufactured chronograph [...] More…
We’re big fans of OCarbon and their custom-made carbon fiber work on original Audi parts for the ultimate OEplus appearance. We’ve posted on them before and continue to do so when they post some of their latest and greatest Audi work on their blog. Case in point is the new dashboard trim for the facelifted B8 or “B8.5″.

Following yesterday’s post of shots of the new RS 6 found on Instagram, we’ve now stumbled across even more shots found on Flickr. Even better, these photos by Romain Drapri Photography (more available on his RGT3 Flickr and in higher-resolution) reveal even more details of Audi’s latest bahn-stormer. More…
It’s a very poorly kept secret that Audi is keen to maintain its strong leadership in the field of lightweight design. The ‘ultra’ branding Audi has applied to it and its key positioning within the brand’s motorsports efforts communicate this quite clearly. So too do behind-the-scenes lightweight production mules such as an aluminum chassis Audi [...] More…
When it comes to OE+ style modifications, enhancement through subtlety is often the name of the game. So, when OCarbon posted pics of some new custom carbon fiber center caps, we were most intrigued. In case you don’t know, OCarbon is a custom carbon fiber trim and component fabricator who has been around the Audi [...] More…
Made from aerospace grade pre-preg carbon fiber, these are designed as direct replacements for stock aluminum doors. These units include fully detailed inner structures. More…
Funny thing about a new model launch, some of the most exciting news for owners of other Audi models can often be found by dissecting the photography released by Audi. Today was the internet reveal of the new RS 5 Cabriolet and while we are already seriously lusting over the car, we’re also highly intrigued by one minor production difference – the rear deck lid spoiler.
