Carrera dominated the German markets in the 1960s and 1970s, due to using an additional third wire, and effective marketing, also at the nearby Nuremberg International Toy Fair.

In the 1970, Carrera offered 1:24, 1:32 and 1:60 scales for slot cars, and the slot-free "Servo" systems which allowed cars to switch lanes, guided by the guard rails on the outside. Due to the many systems offered, and fewer customers (Generation), Neuhierl had to sell his company in 1985, and took his own life. The new owners sold rather cheap products.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo The Giant


The 2012 ASMA Porsche Cayenne Turbo "The Giant" body kit, by Erturul ASMA, is the latest offering to come out of the controversial tuning house in Germany, ASMA design.

Erturul ASMA is naturally claiming this design is perfection, but with no power upgrades made available with this Porsche Cayenne body kit, what makes the kit stand out?

Exterior Makeover

The visual impact of the Turbo 'The Giant' body kit is something that you really can’t miss - the wide body kit increases the Porsche Cayenne's width to over 2 meters wide! Nicknamed 'The Giant' for obvious reasons, this body kit would definitely get you noticed when you're on the road.

The body kit that makes up this Porsche Cayenne Turbo comes from genuine carbon fiber and does more than just increase the width of the Cayenne. It also redesigns the rear, adds a modified front bumper that comes with LED daytime lights, includes a new hood, wheel arch extensions, side skirts, tailgates, and low front/rear spoilers.

The rear bumper has been changed so that it now features two center fitted tailpipes and the front end has also been modified so that it contains a larger, more aggressive looking grill/air intake vents.

Also worthy of note are the added 22 inch black alloy wheels, which some say are the only worthy part of the body kit. Since the ASMA Porsche Cayenne Turbo kit has done nothing to the power output/performance aspect of the vehicle, we're left to decide whether the extremely wide, aerodynamic, body kit by itself is enough to impress.


Performance

The Porsche Cayenne is capable of 550HP with no modifications made by ASMA design, and the aggressively styled, sharp and wide, body kit certainly makes the Porsche Cayenne a formidable looking force on the road.

In the new age of customization, ASMA design has certainly produced something that looks impressive, despite the fact that they failed to make any upgrades to performance. But let's be honest, does the Porsche Cayenne really need it?
