In every issue, the duPont REGISTRY is home to many aftermarket manufacturers who look at the best vehicles in the world and find ways to make them better. These companies are full of entrepreneurs and visionaries; mechanics who understand the art behind the manufacturer’s work and strive to enhance its beauty.
We could very well spend all day listing all of the fantastic tuning companies offered in our magazine. But to save some time, we’ve put together a few tuning companies from the pages of the duPont REGISTRY that we believe have created some of the best available works of fine tuned art. Feel free to click on the links to visit their sites and learn more. Enjoy.

AMS Performance
AMS was founded in March 2001 with a commitment to developing the AMS 2.3 Turbo Ford Cam. However, as times changed for the company, they adapted to new dyno-systems, changing and improving with the times.
Today, they create some of the quickest, most respected high-tuned vehicles on the market with one goal: provide the highest quality, best performing vehicles available. You can see some of their currently available vehicles, along with some of the things they can do, on their website.
BRABUS
Listed as the “Best Brand 2013” by Auto Motor Sport, making this is the eighth time the company has taken the title. Founded in 1977, BRABUS began by building high-luxury, high-performance vehicles. The founders have been installing audio multimedia systems since 1982 and have more than mastered it since. They can modify and enhance just about any vehicle offered, or you can just buy a vehicle straight from their shop.
The company tests their work all throughout the year to ensure anything with the BRABUS badge is nothing but the best. Selecting your vehicle from a tuner has never been more engaging, as the company recently created a Car Configurator to allow you to create and modify your own car online. Choose anything, from the sound of your vehicle to the body kit and wheels, even the hand tailored interior, before you buy, then get your price. It’s outstanding.
Carlsson Tuning
When you want your Mercedes to not just be customized, but personalized, tuned and crafted for you, you go to Carlsson. The automotive tuner’s primary focus is to build individual cars for individualists. Carlsson tunes cars for Mercedes owners who want a luxury car that stands out as much as they do.

Hennessey
Hennessey Performance is a company that needs no introduction. They take your car, tune it their way and send it back to you with more power than you ever thought possible. They’ve recently begun distributing cars of their own, as well as shipping some to dealerships, such as Hendrick Cadillac in Kansas City, Miss. Hennessey is best recognized for their very own creation, a Veyron killing Venom GT, which currently holds the world record for the quickest 0-300km/h time.
For a moment, that Venom was the fastest production car in the world, and, we believe, not far from taking that title once more. The Hennessey team is among the best of the best and offers nothing but the finest and quickest available today. Go to their site to buy your own vehicle and see some videos of them in action.
Kaizen Motorsports
Kaizen believes in offering the best in engine management systems for an affordable price. The word “kaizen” is actually the Japanese word for “improvement,” and is an appropriately fitting name. The company strives to improve Toyota and Lexus vehicles, and since 2004 they’ve managed to quickly become one of the best and most recognized tuners in the business. They offer everything you may need to enhance your vehicle, from suspension to turbos, or you can simply take your car to their shop and tell them what you want it to do.
