Vehicle History & Automotive passion

Our Story
Unlike most, we are among the few who own and develop on our own vehicles. Every platform we work on is purchased, built, and rigorously tested in-house before any product reaches our customers.
For us, it’s simple: We don’t just sell parts, we prove them.
Where It Started
Before the supercars and high-performance builds, the journey began in the early 2000s, the golden era of UK car culture. From the Max Power days of oversized subwoofers and aggressive Jap-style exhausts, to the raw JDM scene, the foundations were built on passion. Vehicles ranged from:
• 600+ bhp Evos and Imprezas
• Modified BMW E30 builds
• The unmistakable energy of the early tuning era
It’s a period that shaped everything we stand for today.
The Evolution
From 2018 onwards, the focus shifted heavily toward modern high-performance platforms. A garage that has included:
• Supercharged Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (W204)
• 620bhp Supercharged BMW M3 (E92) (Manual)
• 650bhp BMW M4 (F82)
• 800+ bhp BMW M5 (F90)
• Daily-driven luxury SUVs including Range Rover, X6, Cayenne and Macan
Current Fleet & Development Platforms
Our current lineup represents the next level of performance engineering:
Pushing Boundaries of the notorious S58 X3M Platform
The pursuit was clear: Supercar performance in an SUV package. This led to one of the most recognised builds, the BMW X3M (F97). Between 2021–2023, this platform was pushed to the limits, achieving 830bhp (with ethanol blend) and becoming among the fastest pump fuel X3M builds in the UK & Europe at the time.
Performance figures:
• 0–60 mph: 2.6s
• 1/4 mile: 10.2s
• 100–200 km/h: 5.7s
All achieved in a vehicle weighing over 2 tonnes, validated using Dragy timing. This project helped lay the groundwork for ongoing development within the S58 platform, which has since evolved into single turbo conversions, forged engine builds, and advanced hybrid setups.
Precision Meets Performance: 911 Platform
Next came the Porsche 911 Carrera S (992) RWD, a platform where specification and refinement meet performance. Lightweight modifications combined with custom ECU & TCU calibration delivered:
• 1/4 mile: 10.9s
• 100–200 km/h: 5.8s
Rear-wheel-drive precision meant focus remained on roll performance rather than aggressive launches.
BMW M3 Competition (G80) Ultimate Pack
A full-scale development car now running a Stage 3 twin-turbo setup, approaching four-figure power. Built with reliability in mind, retaining twin turbos over single conversion for optimal balance.
Performance figures:
• 0–60 mph: 2.2s
• 1/4 mile: 9.5s
• 100–200 km/h: 4.4s
Porsche 911 Turbo S (992)
The benchmark for all-round performance, combining brutal acceleration with everyday usability. Watch this space for updates as we continue to scale our operations.
Audi R8 Spyder (Gen 2, 2017)
Naturally aspirated V10 performance paired with open-top driving. Currently running a Stage 1 setup producing 650 bhp, paired with a TCU tune for sharper, faster gear changes.
Performance figures:
• 0–60 mph: 2.9s
• 100–200 km/h: 5.8s
While we have other extremely fast cars in the fleet, a supercar offers a presence, theatre, and overall experience that is simply unmatched.
Our Philosophy
Every vehicle we build serves a purpose:
• Develop
• Test
• Refine
• Prove
We don’t rely on theory; everything is validated through real-world use, data, and continuous iteration.
