This Jaguar XF is about to become a full-on race car!!

It’s about to be transformed from refined performance saloon into a lighter, sharper, purpose-built race car.

Expect race suspension, stronger brakes, improved cooling, a more aggressive exhaust, serious weight reduction, dedicated safety equipment and a driver-focused cockpit.

We’ll be documenting the full build, from the engineering and installation work through to testing and the final results.

Enjoy the teaser Video below....

BHP claims are easy. Dyno results are where the truth comes out.

Our next Paramount Performance Dyno Day is taking place on Saturday 26th September 2026, giving owners the chance to put their cars on the rollers and see what they are really producing.

For tuned cars, modified cars, standard cars or cars you have just bought, a dyno session can be a really useful way to understand what is going on. You get to see the power, torque and delivery clearly, rather than relying on guesses or old paperwork.

It is also a great opportunity to speak to the Paramount Performance team about future upgrades, including ECU tuning, exhausts, induction, suspension, 200 cell sports cats, pulleys, superchargers and more.

A dyno day is always a bit more than just the runs. It is a chance to meet other owners, compare builds, hear different cars under load and get proper advice from people who work with performance vehicles every day.

Whether you are chasing numbers, checking a recent upgrade, planning the next stage of your build, or just curious about what your car is making, this is a date for the diary.

11 healthy cylinders. One very serious problem.

Our V12 restoration project has reached a critical stage, and this episode brings the news we really didn’t want to hear.

After removing the seized differential, checking the ignition system and carefully inspecting all 12 cylinders with a borescope, the results initially looked extremely promising, then we reached the final cylinder......

Watch Episode 3 to see what we found, what it means for the project and where the restoration goes from here.

This is the reality of restoring a classic car. Sometimes the problems only reveal themselves once you start looking properly.

FEEL LIKE YOUR BIKE IS HOLDING SOMETHING BACK? IT PROBABLY IS!!

This Moto Guzzi V7 visited Paramount Performance for a bespoke ECU remap, carried out using Alientech equipment and tailored to the bike itself.

Motorcycle tuning is not simply about chasing a headline power figure. A well-developed remap can improve the way the bike responds throughout the rev range, helping to deliver smoother throttle response, stronger acceleration and a more refined riding experience.

For the owner, that can mean:

• Sharper throttle response
• Smoother power delivery
• Improved low and mid-range performance
• Better rideability in everyday conditions
• Calibration matched to the motorcycle and its setup

The ECU was accessed, the original data was read and the software was adjusted specifically for this Moto Guzzi V7.

Every bike is different, so the work starts with understanding the motorcycle, its condition, its modifications and what the rider would like to improve.

If your van works hard every day, it should not feel like it is struggling to keep up.

This Mercedes Sprinter came in to us for a professional remap using Autotuner, giving the team the ability to safely read, adjust and write the vehicle’s software with the right control and care.

From the factory, this Sprinter is rated at 95 bhp. With the right remap, the expected gains could take it to around 190 bhp and 170 Nm of additional torque, giving it a much stronger and more usable drive.

For many Sprinter owners, the van is used every single day. It carries tools, stock, equipment, deliveries, passengers, or whatever the job demands. That means drivability matters just as much as outright performance.

A quality remap can make a Sprinter feel much better suited to real-world driving. Stronger low-down torque, improved throttle response and smoother power delivery can all help the van feel less strained, especially when carrying weight or covering longer journeys.

This is not about turning a work van into something silly. It is about making the vehicle more usable, more responsive and more enjoyable to drive.

The benefits of a Sprinter remap can include:

Stronger pulling power
Improved torque delivery
Better throttle response
Smoother motorway driving
Less effort when loaded
A more relaxed drive day to day

Using Autotuner allows us to work with modern ECU technology accurately and efficiently, which is especially important on commercial vehicles where reliability and usability are key.

Whether the van is used by a tradesperson, courier, camper conversion owner or fleet operator, a properly developed tune can make a real difference to how it performs on the road.

Another Mercedes Sprinter tuned, tested and ready to get back to work with a little more confidence under the bonnet.

A Ferrari on the dyno is not something you just scroll past.

This stunning Ferrari was in with us at Paramount Performance for professional ECU tuning and dyno testing, and what a car to have in the workshop.

From the moment you see the badge, the engine bay and that unmistakable red paintwork, you know this is something special. Cars like this are already seriously capable from factory, so the job is not about making random changes. It’s about precision, control and getting the calibration right for the car.

Using our in-house tuning knowledge, specialist equipment and dyno facilities, we were able to review the vehicle properly and carry out a controlled performance tuning session.

With a car at this level, every detail matters.

The benefits of a professional remap can include:

Sharper throttle response
Stronger power delivery
Improved drivability
More responsive acceleration
A more connected feel from the engine
A tune tailored specifically to the vehicle

Our approach is always to tune safely, carefully and professionally. No guesswork, no rushed files, just proper calibration backed by experience and testing.

It’s always a privilege to work on performance cars like this, and even better to see them on the dyno where we can measure, test and refine the results properly.

Whether it’s a Ferrari, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Porsche or another performance vehicle, Paramount Performance can help you get more from your car with a bespoke ECU remap.

Want to know what your car is really making? Our next Dyno Day is coming up.

Paramount Performance Dyno Day returns on Saturday 26th September 2026, and it is the perfect chance to get your car on the rollers, see the numbers, and spend the day around other petrolheads.

Whether you drive a Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, hot hatch, classic, weekend toy or tuned daily, the dyno gives you a proper look at how your car is performing in a controlled environment.

It is not just about peak bhp either. A dyno run can show how the car delivers power, how smooth the curve is, where the torque comes in, and whether the vehicle is performing as expected.

The day will include:

Live dyno runs
Performance talk with the team
Workshop access
Tuning and upgrade advice
A relaxed car meet atmosphere
Plenty of photo and video opportunities

Our last Dyno Day had a brilliant mix of cars, great conversations and a proper workshop buzz, so we are looking forward to doing it all again.

Bring your car, bring your questions, and come and see what it really does.

THIS BMW JUST FOUND ITS VOICE!!

A performance car should sound as good as it looks, and this BMW now has the exhaust note to match.

The original exhaust kept things fairly quiet and restrained. After the exhaust upgrade, the car has a deeper, sharper and far more purposeful tone that gives it much more character on start-up and under acceleration.

A quality performance exhaust can offer a number of benefits, including:

• A deeper and sportier exhaust note
• Improved exhaust flow
• Sharper response
• A more engaging driving experience
• Improved rear-end styling
• A sound that better suits the character of the car

The aim is not simply to make a car louder. The right system should improve the tone, bring out more of the engine’s natural sound and remain enjoyable to live with during everyday driving.

Every vehicle and every owner is different, which is why Paramount Performance can help you choose an exhaust setup that suits the car, your driving style and the sound you are looking for.

Turn the volume up and listen to the difference.

Contact Paramount Performance to discuss performance exhaust options for your BMW.
