  • Irmscher Opel Astra Program is Ready for Launch

    Irmscher Opel Astrain Grey - Side ViewIrmscher is one of the tuning companies, which is hard to see very often. The first reason for this is that they are working only with Opel (Vauxhall) vehicles. The second: they are doing this for 47 years now, and this means that they are really good in it! Now, the modification specialists are absolutely ready with the launch of their new program for the latest Opel Astra.

    Visually Better Astra

    Irmscher improved the visual stance of the car with some simple changes that prove to be very effective. The biggest change is probably the grille. The original one was substituted with the classic Irmscher radiator grille that gives the Astra even more dynamic appearance for its front. Depending on customer’s wish the radiator grille can be made from stainless steel or carbon fiber.

    The more athletic stance has been further reinforced with the lowering, which in this case is 30mm. This ensures maximum traction especially when it comes to curves. The lower stance is also supported by the new wheel.  Irmscher is offering a wide variety of wheel designs, but the most exclusive ones are 19-inch of HighStar or Aerostar variety and are finished in diamond-polished black. 16-inch and 17-inch versions are also available.

    More Power?

    A power output increase is also available for both diesel and gasoline variants. The boost is actually currently being tested and will be introduced shortly. The performance gains are expected to be of up to 30 hp.

  • Irmscher Releases Special Edition Opel Insignia is3 Called ‘Bandit’

    Irmscher Opel Insignia is3 Bandit Front viewIrmscher Opel Insignia is3 Bandit is a very special edition car. First, it is an example of the exquisite work of the tuners and secondly it has so much power that no one have ever seen in an Insignia model. In other words, the car features exterior tuning as well as a furious power package.

    Exterior

    The Bandit has a typical face, which is dominated with some changes added by Irmscher. For example the front features new apron with underride splitter. At the sides, the car is extended by side skirts, while the rear got new diffuser. At the back we also see discreet rear wing, which provides inspiration for street racing.

    In general, the car’s exterior color was decided in the dark hues. But there are some accents all over car’s body that come in gold. The same color is used to highlight the wheels, which by the way come in 20-inch dimension both front and rear. The alloys are in Turbo Star Exclusive Design and are made by the tuner.

    Optimized Performance

    The first step in optimizing the performance was to change the chassis. This was necessary due to the significant increase of power. Speaking of which, the engine received comprehensive revision with updates in the turbocharger, cooling and the intake and exhaust.

    As a result, the Insignia now produces 370 hp (279 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. Due to these changes, the acceleration time is now faster than ever. It takes 5.9 seconds for the Bandit to cover the 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint.

  • Irmscher Conquers Auto Shanghai with Custom Insignia

    Irmscher Opel Insignia Front and Side ViewAt the Shanghai Motor Show we have seen the debut of very odd vehicles. And I am not talking about those we have written about. We are all familiar with the copy-cat capabilities of the Chinese industry (no-offense on that) and if you try searching about the strangest vehicles at this year’s Auto Shanghai, you would be amazed. Just google it.

    Nonetheless, some of the cars on display there were mind-blowing. An example for one is Irmscher’s four-door Opel Insignia. The tuning company has remodeled the body of the car in order to make a sportier model.

    Take a look at the front and there you’ll see a redesigned front apron with splitter underneath, which ensures that the large vents can take enough air. Throughout the exterior there are also visible the side line side skirts and rear diffuser.

    In addition, there is a rear wing for better downforce, which also displays the sports characteristics of the Insignia. A very impressive fact is that Irmscher has tested all parts in the wind tunnel and has adjusted them in resonance with car’s original aerodynamics. The exterior tuning is rounded out by a special color graphics and 20-inch the Turbo Star alloys.

    At last, the tuner is offering an optional performance upgrade for Insignia’s range of engines. Sitting at the top of the range, the most powerful updated unit produces 370 hp, which equals 279 kW.
