Why doesn’t the manufacturer consider performance enhancements?

During the development of a mass-production vehicle the manufacturer is more concerned with durability without maintenance, functionality even under extreme conditions (tropics or ice) and the cost-efficient classification into various classes of insurance. Furthermore the engines are only developed once and for further models those are being used in different gradations in terms of performance (e.g. VAG 1,8 Ltr. 4 cylinder with 60/75/85/90/95/98/107/110/112/136 HP) but the core is always the same. The maximum performance and the highest terminal velocity are more or less irrelevant in the development of mass-production vehicles. This is where our Heron performance enhancements come into play. In the course of time we have tested and optimized our performance enhancements in order to guarantee a high ability and durability at a maximum of capacity.
