2009 Roush RTC Ford Mustang Unveiled

Roush has unveiled their limited edition 2009 Roush RTC Mustang at the National Mustang Show over the weekend. The RTC is a two-tone coupe Mustang with a black top and Ford's base color on the bottom and comes adorned in a Roush four-piece body kit (Front Fascia, Front Chin Spoiler, Hood Scoop, and Rear Wing), high-flow nine bar grille and rides on unique 20 inch chrome wheels.

The 2009 Roush RTC should arrive at dealers shortly and is expected to set you back USD 13,375 for the base package. The optional chrome ROUSHcharger for a total of 430 bhp costs another USD 6,250.

Ford will be releasing a brand new Mustang starting in the 2010 model year, so this Roush will be one of the last for the current S-197 body style.

Audi Q7 Street Rocket by JE Design

JE Design has issued their second interpretation of the Audi Q7. The Q7 Street Rocket represents a toned down less obese looking body package compared to its Q7 Wide Body predecessor, just without all of the bulbous overhangs such as the wide body fender flares.

Looking closely between the two kits the Street Rocket sheds the excessive wide body fender and quarter panel wheel arch flares. As a result, the front bumper lower spoiler gets redesigned to fit the new width dimensions of the body and the rear bumper gets simplified as well in the same fashion. However, the overall design details of the front and rear bumpers remains the same. Gone are the roof spoiler extensions which extend down the side of the D-pillar. Sporting a brandy wine color the interior gets splashed with matching red accents and stitching.

Overall, this looks like a less bloated version which is a big improvement.
