Alfa Romeo Brera Italia Independent by Vilner

Alfa Romeo Brera Italia Independent by Vilner is not just a car but a special project that needs attention. The Brera is one of the most beautiful machines that Alfa Romeo has ever created. It has brilliant shapes and features capricious but at the same time rewarding Italian engineering. This coupe has been designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, but at the same time it was also customized by the designers of Italia Independent, who made it even more beautiful.

An interesting fact is that this car is named after an area in Milan’s historic city center is located. Brera is a small neighborhood called by natives “the area of ideas”. Here is where the Academy of Fine Arts and the office of the editors at Corriere della Sera are located. Not to mention the splendid fashion boutiques as well as antique shops.

In this fashion, the designers at Italia Independent have created a special edition of Brera, which can be recognized by the typical paint – titanium mat. Other distinctive features include the black wheels which are reminiscent of motor rotors of a jet plane and the bloody red brake calipers with handwritten Alfa Romeo inscription.

Inside, Brera Italia Independent gets carbon fiber on the center console and steering wheel, red rings on the controls and contrast red stitching. But can all this be developed even more and go a step further?

Here is where the designers at studio Vilner step in. Due to their refinement, this Brera gets improved with mixture of nappa leather, Alcantara and genuine snakeskin. They have also added more carbon, red contrast stitching, seat belts in the same color and embroidery that depicts East Asian dragon.

Vilner however, did not dash out of the picture Italia Independent. On the contrary, they have preserved the original ergonomic steering wheel, its carbon fiber elements and those on the center console, and the engraved aluminum plates built into the headrests of the front seats.

But the details and accents in this Vilner’s project are much more. The seats have been visually reinforced by horizontal red stripes, which have been made of smooth nappa leather. Red belts and small accents on the locking mechanisms complement this image. The door panels have been wrapped in natural black leather with contrast red stitching. The result is reinforced with nappa red stripes that can be seen on the seats.

Take a look at the ceiling which is made of Alcantara and gives shelter to embroidery of a dragon. The same motif is located on the backs of the front seats. Focus on the middle part of the dashboard and the doors. Instead of the standard plastic strips, this Brera gets pure black snakeskin.

Hummer H2 By Vilner Is Perfect For The Summer

Hummer H2 has been restyled by the luxury tuning specialists at Vilner. They have given almost full treatment to the entire interior, ranging from the seats, to the dashboard, steering wheel and doors, as well as the ceiling. As a consequence, the dull grey interior color gave way to the contrast combination of black and yellow leathers, including nappa, shagreen and Alcantara. As you can see, the decoration inside is achieved by contrasting yellow stitching and embroidery in the same color.

The main theme of this Hummer H2 is the Chinese dragon, which is not considered evil in the Asian mythology. In fact, the Chinese dragon is a good creature that carries luck and wealth. According to ancient myths, the dragon is a symbol of man’s Jan nature, and thus it becomes a symbol of power, and it is even part of the emblem of the Chinese Han Dynasty.

Outside the dragon in the H2 is created with black foil, while inside – on the ceiling, doors, seats, glove box, it was made via fine embroidery in yellow. In addition, the chrome grille on the hood features black leather handles also finished in yellow contrasting stitching.

Furthermore, the seat belts are in yellow body color, the mileages are also yellow and their lightning is changed with LED diodes. Even the door pockets are wrapped in leather. At last, the giant Hummer H2 by Vilner rides on 26 inch wheels, which also adds to its attractiveness as a summer ride.

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic By Vilner

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic by Vilner is truly unique. And here is why. Around 10 million of the luxury Mercedes-Benz vehicles are E-Class. Million and a half of the produced E-Class vehicles have chassis number W210, of which several thousand are the sporty AMG versions. Only 12 thousand of them are E55 AMGs, which are powered by the huge V8 engine. In turn, of these just 653 units were produced in 2001. And there are only 8 of them, which are 4Matic, made by individual order. At last, there is only one Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic which was carefully restyled by the tuning specialists at Vilner.

Besides being one of the rarest cars ever, this 2001 E55 AMG 4Matic has sentimental value, because it is one of the last machines assembled and tuned by hand in the small factory of AMG in Affalterbach. This is the reason why the designers at Vilner had a very careful approach to the project of Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG 4Matic. The tuners at Vilner have preserved the class and exclusivity of the car, but have also added a touch of smoky single malt.

This classicism has been achieved by the lavish use of a combination of various shades of brown and a wide range of leathers. The patina leather in smoky cognac color dominates throughout the interior and wraps all the elements that hands have contact with, including the ergonomic steering wheel. It was combined with a perforated Alcantara in more neutral colors.

What is more, the dynamic feeling is underscored by the V shaped elements on the front and rear seats. The original wood veneer was replaced by carbon applications that were lacquered in pale brown. The plastic parts of the interior have been recolored in brown.

At last, the trunk of the E55 AMG 4Matic got brand new leather treatment, which is a continuation of the theme of the interior. However it features major additions: an Affalterbach emblem, embroidered on the patina leather, as well as a travel bag, hand-made from the same materials used in the interior.

Alfa Romeo Mito Refined By Vilner

The tuning experts at Vilner have prepared for us today an exclusive project which has captured our hearts and minds. Alfa Romeo Mito is called by the designers “hooligan”. Of course – metaphorically. Besides the exclusive pictures, which you are first to see, they have also disclosed information of how the restyling process went.

Originally, the Alfa Romeo Mito is powered by 1368 cubic meters 1.4 Turbo engine that is capable of generating 155 horsepower (114kW) and 230 Nm (170 lb-ft) of torque. These figures weren’t enough for Vilner, and therefore the powertrain was optimized.

After the modification, the 1.4 Turbo unit was ready to deliver a total of 200 hp (147kW) and 279 Nm (206 lb-ft) of torque. Then, the specialist continued with the enhancement of the exterior.

Probably, the first association with an Italian car is the color red. This Alfa Romeo exterior has been finished in exclusive red lacquer that features a pearl effect. In contrast to this color, the tuners decided to give a black lacquer varnish treatment to the side mirrors, door handles, grills, tail-light rings and diffuser.

Other highlights here make the headlights, the 17 inch rims and wheels and the exhaust-end pipes that were decided in matt-grey. Inside, the luxury treatment continues with the extensive use of nabuck, Nappa and carbon leather. Of course, these materials come to support a complete re-design of the interior.

Further modifications inside include the plastic elements that were metallized and now sport aluminum effect, front seatbelts in red and accents on the floor mats in the same color. An individual traveling bag made in the same style and materials as the car was also exclusively provided for this project. Vilner Alfa Romeo Mito has a price of 13 000 Euro.

Vilner Transforms BMW 750 V12

BMW 750 V12 is undoubtedly emblematic! With its V12 engine it was introduced back in 1987 when it changed the conception of how things in the automotive industry should be. Now, this BMW model is ready to be introduced for the second time thanks to Art Studio Vilner’s exceptional work.

Although the exterior has been kept almost intact, Vilner BMW 750 V12 is a car we must review! The goal of the tuners was to keep the original and classic view of the car, but at the same time to revive it.

The elements added in terms of exterior modification are the following: daylight-running lights incorporated in the halogens, rear wing mounted over the boot and the most striking addition of all – the massive 19 inch Z-Performance Wheels.

We are familiar that regarding the interior there are not so many tuning companies which can do it as good as Vilner. Inside, the BMW 750 V12 has been covered with leather and Alcantara. Precisely, the grey Alcantara was used for the ceiling, sunshades and rearview mirror. In fact, all of the plastic elements were wrapped in this material.

The dashboard has been dressed in grey leather as well as the mechanisms of the belts. There can also be seen a contrast decorative stitching in white on the doors and the seats. Black piano varnish was applied on the elements on the dashboard, door strips, center console, gear-shift lever, on the steering wheel as well as on the back of the seats.

EXCLUSIVE: Vilner Reveals the Bullshark

The latest artwork of the Bulgarian luxury tuning company Vilner – BMW Bullshark, has been exclusively unveiled and again the readers of automobilesreview.com are the first to see it and read about it. The name of the project comes from the English name for the species Bull shark. The goal of the tuners was to bring back part of the forms of the sea predator, which are typical for the older models, and to weave them harmoniously with the future in the way they see it.

They have succeeded to create the design and afterwards to realize it in one year. The professionals at Vilner have also created the project with the idea to change the 6 Series by strictly following its lines. From this vehicle, which is a generation of BMW 6 Series before the last one, they have kept only the roof and the doors unchanged.

In order to create the details, the team has used composite materials, and this is how they now have a completely new design and in addition are lighter when compared to the production ones. The designers have utilized blue accents in the interior and exterior, combined it with brown, and from the interior they have transferred the same design language again onto the exterior.

Outside as well as inside, the blue accents are very fine. In the coupe they are present almost everywhere in the form of decorative stitching – on the seats, sun shields, rearview mirror, the upholstery on the doors as well as on the seat belts and floor mats.

On the outside – on the mirrors, strips next to the side windows, “kidneys”, exhaust caps and the lights “taken” from Infiniti FX. Carbon fibers are the natural solution for the bumpers, door-sills, rearview mirrors and the spoiler above the rear window.

Additionally they have inserted LEDs in the lights. The tail-lights are taken from the facelifted E63, while the indicators are a slight reference to Z4. In the silhouette of the Bullshark is unobtrusively implied the presence of the shark.

In the interior the seats have been completely replaced with sport ones from the M Series of the same model. The steering wheel is individualized and also includes a change in the form. Art Studio Vilner has shortened the gearshift lever and has created a new brown dials with blue rings for the mileage-meters. Leather and Alcantara are wrapping even the rearview mirror, the seat’s housing, dashboard, doors, side panels to the rear seat and the trunk.

The project wouldn’t be completely finished without a High-End sound. In the car have been mounted 2-band systems with Ground Zero speakers at the front and rear, while for the optimal precision of the sound control takes care the Audison processor. The coupe is entirely noise-insulated.

Power tuning has been also implemented via chiptuning, generation AC Schnitzer. Therefore the result is a breath-taking maximum power of around 370 hp (272 kW) and a maximum torque of 522 Nm (407 lb-ft) at 3420 rev. The Bullshark runs on Z Performance wheels in the dimensions of 8,5 x 19 at the front, and 9,5 x 19 at the rear. As a final touch Vilner has created for the client an individual traveling bag made in the same style and materials as the car.

TEASER: BMW Bullshark by Vilner [VIDEO]

The best project of the Bulgarian luxury tuning company Vilner has just been teased via an exclusive video which you can watch below. This time the creative tuners have decided to entirely transform BMW 6 Series (E63).

Since we are familiar with their craftsmanship and talent, and have seen the unique transformation of Bentley Continental GT, we are undoubtedly expecting to see one of the most exquisite tunings ever made. In this project Vilner was inspired by one of the greatest predators on our planet – the shark.

Even more, it has offered its unique vision for this BMW, which now proudly carries the name Bullshark. From the video we can draw the conclusion that the magic hands of the team have given the E63 new aggressive headlights, new side fenders that look like branchia and a completely new front fascia that definitely puts an impression on one’s mind as if they are being watched by a shark.

It is also noticeable that the side rearview mirrors have received a carbon fiber treatment, while regarding the back of the car, the Bullshark got taillights that have unusual form for the original model. So we are wondering whether we are to see an entire facelift of the rear.

Nothing around the interior has been shown in the footage. However, knowing the capabilities of Vilner, we are sure that we are to be revealed a real embodiment of perfection.

Vilner Transforms 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C3

Art design Studio Vilner, known as the “Atelier of unlimited possibilities”, has just shared with us its latest project. A classical 1976 Chevrolet Corvette has received fine makeover, which refreshes the forms of the legendary Stingray C3 and at the same time keeps the classic lines of the U.S. muscle car.

In order to turn this car in to another magnificent project of Vilner, the work on this Corvette started with the engine. The 5.7 liter V8 Small Block unit got new head, shafts and two twin carburetors.

All of them were delivered by the U.S. experts at Edelbrock Performance. The generation was shortened and was carried over to the side of the body. The machine hasn’t been put through a dyno test, which means that the results of the power tuning are not known. What is expected however is a peak power of 300 hp (220 kW).

The exterior of the car has also been modified and has received new varnish in pearl brown color, while the targa roof trim got upholstery from calf leather adorned by decorative stitching. The original nickel-plated wheels were left untouched as well as the form of the tail-lights.

The latter, however, have entirely new bodies that rely on new LED lights that in turn add a note of futurism in the classic stance of the carosserie. In order to be convenient for driving, this Corvette got new daytime running lights as well as new turn signals.

To go even further into details, into the original bodies of the parking-lights and indicators were integrated LED-daytime running lights and LED-indicators, as well as into those of the tail-lights. They were created specifically for this automobile and indeed they are unique.

In the opening of the front fenders were inbuilt two chrome-plated grills, while the rear bumper of the car is with completely changed design for a better line. One of the most attractive features here is the original chrome-plated boot on which is attached a vintage suitcase made of camel leather.

The interior is where the true power of Vilner lies and this classic Corvette took the maximum advantage of this fact. The dashboard was entirely transformed; new is also the design of the dials of the tachometer and speedometer.

The Audio system here is made of high quality source by Mcintosh, three amplifiers and three-band front system delivered by Ground Zero, as well as two subwoofers by Peerless.

Furthermore, the seat’s upholstery was made of a combination between calf-nappa leather and box, while the laser engraving provided an additional note of personalization. At last, the elements made of wood veneer were replaced by inserts made of high-tech Corian material.

Suzuki B King by Art Studio Vilner

We have seen so far that the professionals at the Bulgarian luxury tuning company Vilner are not only experienced in the entire transformation of automobiles, but also in giving motorbikes new and extremely exquisite look. Today, they are exclusively revealing to the readers of automobilesreview.com their new project.

Under the spotlight is the Suzuki B King which was manufactured back in 2007. It utilizes a 1,340 cc engine, which is capable of producing 181 horsepower (135 kW) at 9500 rpm and 108 lb-ft (146 Nm) of torque at 7200 rpm.

The owner of the motorbike took individuality very seriously. For this reason he desired only subtle changes on the B King that will make it look different and individual. Of course, the specialists took care of this task by adding seven new details to the Suzuki.

What they have basically done is to change the tail by replacing the original exhaust system with new one that is entirely made of carbon fibre. In addition, the black details around the headlight contribute towards more predatory visual stance of the front.

What rounds-off the transformation is the detail under the radiator. At last, the bike is given a new seat made of ostrich leather, while for the lightning at the rear are now taking care new LED indicators and tail-light.

Vilner Revives Mitsubishi Pajero

Art Studio Vilner has given a new and more luxurious life to the old and plain Mitsubishi Pajero. The professionals have broken the myth that this Mitsubishi can not look luxurious.

The story of this project began when a few months ago a client who lived in Denmark and who was delighted by the tuning company’s projects came to the designer’s studio with a big plea: to breathe a new life to the sentimental for him Mitsubishi Pajero. And not just any life, but one which is luxurious and impressive.

In fact, the project was worth several times the value of the car. The working process began with the complete disassembling of the automobile. Then it was cleaned of rust, diligently restored down to the tiniest detail, and then repainted.

Next, the tuners isolated the entire coupe with vibration and noise insulation for maximum comfort, and then they began with the interior. The client have chosen color scheme in brown and black, and due to the fact that that everything originally was in grey, there was a need to remake every single detail in the interior – from the floor mats to the door seals.

All of the dashboard plastic elements were repainted in high-gloss black, and the others were covered with Alcantara. Details and engraved plaques were built in and they were made of real Walnut veneer, which was then treated with satin varnish for more natural feel.

Another highlight here is the decision to suture the veneer to other materials. Moreover, this Mitsubishi was also equipped with built in a high-quality audio system, which is controlled via an Audison processor for finer adjustment of the sound.

At last, in order to enhance the feeling of luxury, Vilner created an individual travel bag made of the same leather as the interior and carrying company’s logo.
