Alongside the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (see here), Loder1899 also presented a supped up version of the new Ford Mondeo at this year’s Essen Motor Show.

The frost white Mondeo was fitted with a front lip, rear skirt and roof spoiler made out of real carbon fiber, while the bonnet was finished in a special edition Stainless steel look.

The wheel/tire combination for the Mondeo is the 9x20 inch alloy wheel Sins in a shiny, black finish. Alternatively, Loder1899 offers the 9x20 inch design wheel W1 in a special edition Polish glam also in a black, glossy finish with polished spokes. 

The standard 220 hp Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo (same engine as the Focus ST) gains an extra 50 hp, thanks to the motor management and the sport exhaust system. Loder1899 also offers a 4-way adjustable sport suspension system.

This enables the driver to adjust vehicle height, gradient, pressure level and strut compression to personal taste and requirements.

The tuning specialists over at JE Design are planning to debut their 2010 Seat Leon FR at this month's Essen Motor Show in Germany. The performance package includes upgrades for both the TSI gasoline and TDI diesel versions of the Spanish hatchback. In its latest form, the 2.0-liter TSI petrol engine delivers 211HP and 280Nm of torque. With JE Design's engine kit that's priced at €1,499, the TSI's output is lifted to 270HP and 335Nm reducing the Leon FR's zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time from 7.1 to 6.2 seconds.

The 170HP 2.0-liter diesel engine's gets a nudge to 204HP and 380Nm of torque. This extra muscle helps cut 0-100km/h acceleration from 8.2 to 7.6 seconds. The price for this kit is €1,339 Euros and also includes VAT, assembly and warranty.

The tuner shop offers a set of lowering springs (€159) to bring the car 35mm closer to the ground while there's also an adjustable coilover suspension (€979) that allows the driver to drop the vehicle's height between 15mm and 40mm. A set of 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels shod in 225/35R 19 rubber priced at €2,930 complete the performance tweaks.

For the exterior, JE Design offers a bevy of upgrades including headlamp covers (€89), LED daytime running lights (€299) and its aerodynamics package that comprises of a front spoiler (€279), side skirts (€299), rear apron (€299) and the centre diffuser attachment (€99) plus a four-pipe muffler system (€899) and a pair of Lamborghini-style scissor doors (€1,499).

Finally, the interior can be modded with a leather treatment for the seats, door linings and the centre armrest (€1,599), a two-stage seat heating function (€379) and even a massage system with twelve programmes for the front seats (€429).
