Vilner Aprilia Stingray Adds 13 New Details

As it comes for Vilner the number thirteen seems to be rather a lucky one. The successful interior tuning specialists have now made an exceptional transformation on the Aprilia Stingray by adding to it brand new thirteen details.

And as one can see from the pictures, there is nothing similar with the original model, which in fact was the initial aim of the team. Vilner Aprilia Stingray now looks more exquisite than ever with its aggressive and futuristic stance.

The exceptional new visual appearance of this motorbike is a result of a work with great precision and attention to the tiniest detail. First of all, the Aprilia was equipped with brand new front fender, which was especially designed for the model.

Next, the headlight was modified with two new details: helmet and air-ducts, while the side front signals were mounted on it. They are also new and more importantly – all LED. The transformation doesn’t stop here. Two entirely new side spoilers with two vents each, serve as a means to lead away the hot air coming out from the engine.

In addition, onto the Bugspoile there have been added two pyramid-shaped details that enhance the aggressive presence of the Aprilia. To make it even more masculine and powerful, the tuning specialists from Vilner have also added three new details on the reservoir.

What is more, both right and left plastics were wrapped with the finest leather. From there one can see a light gray strip starting, which ends at the front part of the seat. To the rear part of the latter were added two new details made of brown leather.

Proceeding further to the rear of this breath-taking motorcycle, it must be mentioned that the rear lights were tinted in order to match the overall design philosophy of the tuning. Moreover, part of the frame is painted in Black Matt which contributes to the visual separation of the front and rear part. What is also completely new is the stand for the registration number, which was mounted a little bit more inward.

Furthermore, this completely transformed Aprilia, comes with two exhausts that were repainted in black. The aim of this modification was to make them fade away at the most. Additionally, the rear fork and the chain were extended by 15 centimeters and here is where Vilner gathered forces with Galaxy Custom.

At last but not least, the bike as well as the wheels was entirely repainted, so that it can look absolutely outrageous. The power of the Vilner Aprilia Stingray is enhanced by 10 per cent thus making this project complete and part of the Vilner Custom Bike projects.

HOT: Vilner Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Finally Revealed

Do you remember that couple of days before Christmas the individualization tuning specialist from Vilner surprised us with a gift in the form of two teaser pictures revealing a glimpse of their latest endeavours? If you do than you will probably be happy to know that they have finally unveiled their work on the SLS AMG. And again, the readers of automobilesreview.com are the first to see it!

Vilner Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is something everyone wants to have in their garage. And since the interior tuning professionals from Vilner have given it their magical touch, this means that the SLS seems even more attractive.

The exterior looks like it wears a make-up and it definitely has visual characteristics that make it more beautiful than ever. In details, the bumper below the front headlights is painted in black and in this way it makes the perfect contrast to the overall light-silver exterior of this Mercedes-Benz.

In addition, the same contrast is ensured by the central strip around the emblem, which in its back part is also colored in black. The same styling has been chosen for the middle part of the bumper. What is more – even all of the grills are black. Here the substance utilized for their re-coloring is Black Piano Varnish.

And to make the appearance of the SLS look even more aggressive, the designers have added eyebrows to the front headlights. The latter were specifically designed by Vilner and on their top there is a light relief, which is a continuation of the inner part of the headlights.

No matter how great the exterior looks, the inner part of the vehicle is where the true power of the leather interior specialist from Vilner lies. The splendid cabin of the SLS underwent a lot of work done with attention and precision to the details. Although the AMG designers have done a great job here, there were some elements that needed transformation.

Straight to the details: the coupe and the boot are both wrapped in red leather and Alcantara. They have also received a big embroidered AMG emblem which resembles the one on the metal plate under the front hood.

The steering-wheel is also modified and precisely wrapped with black leather. The airbag and the box of the dashboard are also customized in black Alcantara. The “pocket” between the two seats has a brand new design and it now looks more stylish.

Atanas Vilner: Perfection To The Detail Is The Way To Success [INTERVIEW]

Since Christmas is just a step away, we have decided to make a present to our readers! We had a talk with Atanas Vilner – the person who stays behind the breath-taking tunings of Vilner! Here you can read what we have asked him and what he had to disclose.

automobilesreview.com: Your Company has achieved many accolades recently. Your tunings are exquisite and I must honestly say that they are one of the best ones I have personally seen. But, would you tell us when and how did everything start?

Atanas Vilner: It all started as a joke in 1996. I began working on a personal automobile and since at this moment there was no one who could make the interior as I wished it to be, I decided to do everything myself. After seeing what I have done, most of my friends wanted me to make some changes on their cars as well. Then the friends of my friends contacted me, and then – resellers, car dealers, car collectors, racers … I am explaining this phenomenon with my perfection to the detail: I simply can’t allow crooked stitching, crease or any other defect in the interior. My whole team also strives for perfection, and through time the people who stayed with me embraced fully the idea that the customer should always be pleased.

a: Where do you get inspiration from?

A.V.: The positive emotions that our clients give us are what inspire us the most for our future projects.

a: Which is your favorite project that you have worked on until now?

A.V.: Chevrolet Camaro 2010. In fact, I have many favorite projects, but this car was mine and in it I made everything I wanted to – starting from materials, design and ending with stile.

a: Is there any vehicle in the world which you dream of seeing in your garage so that it would be improved?

A.V.: Pagani Zonda and I know that this will happen.

a: And is there any vehicle that you don’t think it could be made better, or in other words that is perfect in its “stock” vision?

A.V.: We are like plastic surgeons – every beautiful woman can become even more beautiful. Our work is similar: in terms of cars, there is always something which can be made better.

a: If a client comes to your garage and asks you to do something absurd, how much are you keen on making the order as he or she wishes and what do you actually do in such cases? Is the client always right?

A.V.: Every absurd project goes through our creative prism and as a consequence it isn’t absurd anymore. In other words, when it is mixed with our professionalism, I can fearlessly affirm, that we can transform it into a piece of art. It is only a pity that there aren’t any galleries for such masterpieces.

a: And what do you think is your biggest achievement up to date?

A.V.: For us each and every project is a great achievement. And we never allow ourselves to judge any project as big or small, as expensive or inexpensive.

a: Rimac Concept One and how did you get there? Is it a fruit of your hard work or is it just a matter of luck?

A.V.: It is rather a combination of both, but I think that Mate Rimac should answer this question, because he is the one who chose us. I assume that we have won him with our braver combination of colors for the interior, in comparison to our colleagues from Italy. We also don’t underestimate the fact that we have personal attitude towards our every single project and client. For that reason Rimac trusted us for their second project and we are currently working on it.

a: We are eagerly looking forward to seeing it! And in this sense, what do you think of electric vehicles? Are they really the future of the automotive business?

A.V.: I personally would drive one.

a: We have recently seen that you have started modifying some exceptional bikes. Where do you find the biggest pleasure – in tuning a bike or a car?

A.V.: Certainly the automobiles are my greatest passion. I don’t even have a driving license for a motorbike. (he smiles)

a: Where do you picture yourself to be after ten years?

A.V.: I hope that I would see my interiors all around the world!

a: Is there anything else that you would like to share with the readers of automobilesreview.com?

A.V.: The people out there must know that everything we do is absolutely individual and in other words it is made according to the wishes of the particular client: to satisfy his individuality, taste and comprehension. This isn’t a serial production which has the only goal to appeal to every customer. The same counts for paintings, tattoos, music … This is the reason why after the name “Vilner” we have put “Your Style” …

a: Thank you for this interview and your time. I am sure that the readers of automobilesreview.com will be delighted to see it.

Exclusive: Vilner Reveals a Starry Sky Nissan GT-R

Just ahead of the winter holidays, the Bulgarian tuning company Vilner is making a big Christmas gift to the readers of automobilesreview.com by revealing exclusively and only for them their new and absolutely breath-taking work on Nissan GT-R.

Vilner Nissan GT-R is definitely a very unique project. And this is not only because of the exquisite work and craftsmanship of the professionals, but also because of the “starry sky” ceiling that it includes. Few other cars have the same feature, and as a matter of fact this is the fist car in the tuning history to include such one.

In general the materials used in the interior in this project are the finest leather and Alcantara in black and crimson colors. The seats are mainly in black but include red bands on their borders. Furthermore, another accent here that catches the eye is the red stitching which creates rhomboid forms.

The same motive is seen on the panel, steering wheel, doors and ceiling. And as soon as one looks up to the latter, they see a “starry sky”. This amazing effect was the initial client’s wish and was achieved with the mounting of LED’s.

Under substantial transformation underwent all of the plastic elements that could be found in this Nissan. Originally they were in different shades of gray, but after the modification they shine exquisitely thanks to the Black Piano Varnish applied on them.

If one is familiar with the work of Vilner, they must definitely know that the specialist from the tuning team pay a lot of attention to the details. Here they haven’t forgotten this philosophy and have even wrapped the rearview mirror in Alcantara. Next, the steering wheel was individually modified and now includes elements in Black Piano Varnish.

As it concerns the edges of the door panels and the center console, here one can see red bands which give the GT-R additional sport spirit and visual stance. According to client’s wish, there were also added an iPAD and a stand for it.

Teaser: Vilner Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

How do you think the perfect present for Christmas would look like? I personally would love to have a white Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG wrapped with a big red band – not under my Christmas tree but in front of my house. In addition it has to be a very special kind of Mercedes-Benz, and this means that it has to be unique and full of enhancements.

For this reason, I would imagine that it is tuned by Vilner, which I am sure will make the best and most beautiful interior design! Just try to think about it in an exhilarating red color which includes all the smallest details that the tuners will make. My dream sounds very exciting, doesn’t it?

Although I won’t be the lucky one to drive this exceptional beauty, there is a particular person who has the same taste as I do. And this fact is proved by the latest teaser images that Vilner has released. They clearly show that the professionals are currently working on an SLS AMG model with white exterior and red interior. Form the pictures we can also judge that the car will include brand new headlights and bumper.

All we are left to do is to wait for the car to come out of the dark and show itself in its true glory. And if you are eager to know what’s going on in Vilner’s garage, you simply have to follow them on their official Facebook page where you will be daily updated.

Vilner Transforms Bentley Continental

After the great success that the Bulgarian tuners from Vilner achieved with their last two tunings on Audi RS6 and S5, they are now ready to bring even more luxury, style and prestige to the automotive world. The specialists are doing that with the release of their new project on Bentley Continental. Of course, the readers of automobilesreview.com are the first to see it!

In general Bentley is a vehicle which leaves us with the impression that it doesn’t need any additional tuning. For instance, in the present case the original interior is in one color and has accents of wooden applications. Undoubtedly this is something which adds to brand’s famous sense of luxury.

Despite that the professionals from Vilner wanted to refresh the interior with the aim to make it more contemporary and to underscore its sporty spirit! For this purpose they have used dark brown leather and Alcantara.

A lot of attention to the detail has been paid and the craftsmanship of the specialists is obvious. For example, the steering wheel and the airbag are given sportier look and form. For the middle part of the seats and the ceiling is used a “bespoke touch” where the stitching forms diamond-like shapes.

Furthermore, all wooden elements are painted in Brown Piano Varnish, and to make them even more individual, light-brown and white bands are applied lengthwise on them. The design of the mileage-meters is also changed.

EXCLUSIVE: Vilner Audi RS6

Absolutely exclusive for the readers of automobilesreview.com is the new hot tuning of the Bulgarian based specialists from Vilner. This time they are going to amaze us with their exceptional and sophisticated work on the Audi RS6.

Vilner Audi RS6 has everything that one wants to see in a car concerning its exterior as well as interior. Absolute craftsmanship and perfectionism grabs ones attention at first sight. The exterior immediately strikes with its provocative color – an effect achieved through a green mate wrapping.

What is more, one is also captured by the alloy wheels, which are in Black Piano Varnish and include green edge that continues the theme of the wrapping. At last, it must be also mentioned that they have supplied the Audi with new grilles and diffuser – of course all made from Carbon Fibre, which contribute to the improved aerodynamism of the RS6.

But the true masterpiece of the work of Vilner can be seen throughout the interior. The ceiling, the door panels, the steering wheel and the gearshift were all carefully wrapped with Alcantara. This undoubtedly contributes to more comfortable feeling of the occupants of the coupe. Adding to it are the seats, which were “dressed” in Nappa.

It is completely obvious that a lot of attention has been put to the details here. The green stitching on the seats for example not only continues the design philosophy of the exterior, but also contributes towards more luxurious driving experience. In addition, what rounds off the modification of the interior are the seat belts, which were changed with such that “shine” in the same challenging color of the exterior wrapping.

On the other hand the RS6 does not need anything in terms of power enhancements or any engine modifications. Thanks to its V10 unit, it produces the staggering 580 horsepower which are equivalent to 426 kW. In addition it has 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) of torque, which adds further to its powerful road presence.

Some impressive data here is that the car reaches 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds on its way to the top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). This Audi model definitely delivers supreme dynamism that makes no compromise in its qualities, and now its aggressive stance is magically amplified, thanks to this exquisite work of the professionals from Vilner.

The Exclusive Vilner Audi S5

Extremely exclusive is the latest release of the exceptional tuning company Vilner. The tuners had just unveiled the astonishing work on their last project – Vilner Audi S5. And as we all expect – it is breathtaking!

Given that this Audi is powered by a 3.0 liter turbocharged V6 engine, it generates 333 hp (245 kW) at 5500RPM and has 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque at just 2900RPM. Within just 5.1 seconds the S5 can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. But no figures can adequately describe the supreme free-revving character, the spontaneous response, the continuous power build-up, or the thrilling sound of its engine.

However, the car got even better because of the aspiring tuning that the specialist from Vilner made. First of all they took care of the exterior and painted the vehicle in matt grey. All of the plastic and black details here are painted in Black Piano Varnish, including the alloy wheels.

But what inspires me the most, when I come across a new modification by Vilner, is the interior. Here it has been entirely changed. The designers used black and brown leather and brown Alcantara.

To go even further into details, in the upper part of the seats can be seen an actual diamond double stitching, which speaks for precision of the work and craftsmanship. The same impression leaves the steering wheel, which was additionally modified with complementary elements. Its airbag and rear end are wrapped up in Alcantara.

Furthermore, the middle part of the tunnel was intentionally left black to highlight and separate the two rear seats. The plastic side skirts and the seat are also dressed in Alcantara, and this delivers more comfort and convenience.

At last, the great attention paid to the detail here is seen on the upper part of the seats where embroidery with the initials of the owner can be seen. The handles, which originally were in matt black color, now are made in black piano varnish and deliver more luxurious experience.

Vliner Triumph Speed Tripple Bulldog Custom Bike [VIDEO]

We are mainly used to see great car transformations from the talented tuning specialist of Vilner. However, a few months ago we have seen how they have modified extremely well a two-wheel drive – the Vilner Ducati Monster 1100 Evo.

Now we are ready to see more from them in terms of enhancing two wheel bikes and making them look astonishing. Their new creation is named Vliner Triumph Speed Tripple Bulldog and it is based on the model Speed Triple of Triump, which has appeared in 1994.

In its development it got more aggressive appearance via the increased size of the headlights. In fact this is the most popular model of Triumph. Next came the newer models which got a flashy motor with aggressive appearance, but in general the changes made on the model follow the British trends.

The end result is Bulldog, but in the beginning it began just with few detailed sketches and 3D model. After the addition of new details, the model became even more aggressive and got more powerful stance.

For instance, two headlamps were replaced by one, for which there was created a special box and stand. Next, the mirrors have been replaced over the handlebars, the stand number is processed and the exhaust pipes are in black.

Furthermore, the Bulldog got new racing OZ wheels and additional details mounted in the blinkers. The added rear details were connected at the bottom with another piece. In fact this is where the vehicle got its name – the Bulldog – the optical innovation and the specific forms of broadcast additions are certainly reminiscent of dogs breed.

Vilner Nissan GT-R – The Power of the Dragon

It must be a great start of the new week, since the first news we have for you today is from the outstanding Bulgarian tuning company Vilner. I must admit that I have always been keen on the work of these specialists, but this time they have prepared for us something which has surpassed all expectations.

Vilner Nissan GT-R is the name of the project and it is exquisite and more than stylish. The beginning was when the customer contacted the professionals with the plea of non-standardized transformation of his Nissan.

Then, the studio stepped in and decided to manifest an idea which aligns elements of a dragon. After all it is the year of the dragon, the customer is Asian, the car is exotic and sporty – everything fit together perfectly and hence the project was immediately approved.

The next step was doing the hard work and starting the transformation. Vilner began working on the interior design, where the designer drew a dragon, which later was embroidered on the car’s roof, and in the trunk. By the way the latter was covered with Alcantara as well.

Just take a look at the pictures of the interior and you will see how marvelous this embroidering was done: the body of the dragon winds around the seats, and passes through the center console. Furthermore, this effect was further enhanced by the relief effects resulting from the combination of leather and embroidery.

As a matter of fact, every single element of the body of the dragin was hand-drawn personally by the designer on a pattern inside. And the result is that the dragon can be felt for real. Gong further into details, Vilner stayed true to its own pure style, and used black as a base, combining it with black Alcantara and black carbon leather.

Moreover, the same style was given to the dashboard, the door panels and the black console. The red edges emphasize the shape of the seats and correspond with the dragon at the roof and the red decorative seams on the dashboard.

Other interesting details to be highlighted are the carbon used for the steering wheel and gear shifter, and the red chrome paint utilized for some minor details. The red elements are not random, because this was the original color of the GT-R, which eventually received a white mat foiling finish. The exhaust pipes are made of titanium, and the original ones were increased from 440whp up to 530whp.

The Temptation of Vilner Mercedes-Benz CLS

The latest astonishing transformation that the Bulgarian tuners from Vilner have made is on the emblematic Mercedes-Benz model CLS. Having in mind what we have seen so far from them, and particularly the great work and craftsmanship they implement on any model, we are to see here another one-of-a-kind vehicle.

The transformation concerns not only the interior, but the exterior as well. Starting with the exterior grille, going through the taillights the great work passes on the interior, where the true power of these talented tuners lies.

In fact, there is no single visible plastic left in the interior. They haven’t spared even the rearview mirror. Sun visors and steering wheel airbag are clad in Alcantara, and seatbelts are replaced with new red ones. Great work isn’t it!
