Vorsteiner’s Yellow Continental GT is Simply Gorgeous

Vorsteiner Bentley Continental GT BR10RS Front and Side View The tuners at the Texas based Progressive Autosports company helped the Californians from Vorsteiner achieve this exquisite project involving the high speed Bentley Continental. I basically love the second tuner because its projects are simple but at the same time express the maximum of car’s advantages. The same has happened with this Monaco Yellow Continental GT with stock’s W12 unit.

Speaking of the engine, the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V8 has this great capability to produce rigorous amount of power: 575 hp (423 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) and push the car to its 320 km/h top speed limit. So this fact made both tuners pretty sure they didn’t want any engine boost.

This means that the current project comprises only of styling tweaks, but I assure you that they are worth it. As the name of the car shows, it is equipped with new BR10-RS aero kit made of carbon fiber components. It includes front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper crafted out from Vorsteiner’s specifically in-house made PrePreg lightweight material.

In addition, in the making of this aero package the designers had thought of keeping it in harmony with the factory design so that the new components can transition seamlessly, but at the same time emphasize the additional aggressiveness they give the car. At last, let’s take a look at these eye-catching futuristic wheels delivered by Velano. For the perfect on road presence of the car they were fitted with low-profile tyres.

Vorsteiner Celebrates 10 Years with Yas Marina Blue GTRS4 Project

Vorsteiner BMW Yas Marina Blue GTRS4 Anniversary Edition Front View Does this BMW look familiar to you? Yes, because it was introduced two weeks ago as a special Vorsteiner project based on the F82 M4. It turns out that this Yas Marina Blue is actually a GTRS4 Anniversary Edition that celebrates tuning company’s 10 years presence on the automotive scene. The intriguing wide body custom kit beautifies the car in such terms that it literally makes in one-off.

The first thing to mention here is the unique exterior paint finish which as you can guess is Yas Marina Blue. It is perfectly contrasted by the wheels in Sakhir Orange that measure 20 inches and are fitted with 275 and 345 width tires at the front and back, respectively.

The most important work done on this BMW however, involves the GTRS4 package that comprises of transformative elements that give it entirely new presence. Every component is made of carbon fiber, starting with the front bumper that comes with integrated front splitter.

Next, the front fenders have been replaced with 2 inch wider ones at each side. They include ventilation and are accompanied by the carbon aero side blades. At the rear we have even bigger fenders that add 3.5 inches to each side.

Continuing with the rear, we see a new rear diffuser with integrated elements as well as 90mm quad exhaust tip finishers. The tuning of the exterior is rounded out by the chrome trunk badging. Embroidered colored floor and trunk mat set are the only change in the interior, but this is pretty much enough given the expressive outer look of the car.

Vorsteiner Releases GTS-V Package for BMW M6

Front View of Vorsteiner's BMW M6 GTS-V It is white, it is grandeur, it is based on the M6 series and it is pretty much the latest project presented by Vorsteiner. We were impressed by the visuals of the car as well as the modifications done on it. Although they are not as massive as Mansory’s Bentley GT Race car, they are that harmonious that it feels like the vehicle has always owned them.

We all know that the M6 series is currently offered in three variants: cabrio, coupe and Gran Coupe, and the good news is that the tuner’s package is available for all of them. Precisely, Vorsteiner designed a new front spoiler specifically for the M6. The benefit of this is that this new addition to the car creates downforce at high speeds.

Furthermore, the front spoiler mimics the edgy lines of the factory bumper and this is the reason why it seems like it has just got out fresh from the BMW factory. At the front we also see new front lip made of company’s speciality: the PrePreg carbon fiber. The same material has been used for the rear diffuser and the deck lid spoiler.

Also featured in this project are the GTS-V brake ducts that help force the air directly to the rotors. And that is all. Unfortunately, there isn’t any change in the 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 engine, so this means that it boasts 560 HP (412 kW) between 6,000 and 7,000 rpm and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of maximum torque.

Vorsteiner Widens BMW M4 and Calls it Yas Marina Blue GTRS4

We haven’t said anything about Vorsteiner for a while, because all we have received recently was beautiful BMWs with new alloys. This time the tuner has taken things a little bit further with the “widened” BMW F82 M4 GTRS4 Yas Marina Blue Project. As you can see from the pictures the accent is again on the wheels, since they come in the contrasting Sakhir Orange. But, what’s left unnoticed at first glance is the widebody program, called GTRS4.

In details, all conversion parts are made of full lightweight carbon composite. It is exciting that the specialists made the front fenders have a total span of 4 inches. At the rear, the quarter panels sit 7 inches wider in comparison to the standard car.

We can’t skip the new carbon front and rear bumpers as well as the side blades. Given that every new element is made of carbon fiber, we suspect that the car has less weight and drives faster. However, no details in this respect have been announced.

Using our imagination and knowing that the standard M4 is powered by the 3.0 liter TwinPower Turbo Inline six-cylinder engine, we can say that this car will be capable of producing around (or more) 431horsepower (317 kW) and 550Nm (406 lb-ft). Expectations for the 0-100 km/h sprint exceed the production 4.3 seconds.

Going back to the alloys, the car has been equipped with specially designed three-piece forged wheels that come in the size of 20×10.5 and 20×13.5 inches at the front and rear, respectively. They were shod with 275 and 345 width tires.

Why Vorsteiner BMW F32 435i Has More Rugged Appearance?

The American tuner car manufacturer Vorsteiner is introducing its latest lightweight flow forged alloy technology which is a real treasure when it comes to safety, design, quality and performance. Even though this new technology is approximately 25% lighter compared to a conventional cast construction, it is capable of demonstrating exceptional strength, balance and resistance. A model that takes advantage of these lightweight wheels is the BMW F32 435i. The car arrives with 300 untamed horses (223 kW) and a maximum torque of 406 Nm (300 lb-ft).

This specially fitted BMW is displayed in Carbon Graphite double five spokes wheels that come in dimensions of 20×8.5 inches at the front and 20×10 inches at the rear. The use of a standard profile in the front and concave profile in the rear is a recipe for absolute clearance even when we talk about the largest big brake kits in the market nowadays.

But how does the new technology work? Taking into consideration every possible detail, the unique Vorsteiner flow forged technology is placed into a steel rim mold and prepped to be processed. After that, there is an extensive heat and pressure applied by using three individually shaped rollers.

They strengthen the barrel to the exact width and density, thus forming stronger rims without using too much material. Finally, the wheels have higher impact tolerance and weigh less thanks to the molecular mixture of the aluminum. Precisely, the front alloys have a mass index of 21.4lb, while those at the back weigh 22lbs.

At last, Vorsteiner ensured that their V-FF 103 are accompanied by the appropriate tyres. So they have chosen the Pirelli P Zero for the task and the sizes 245/30/20 and 275/30/20 for the front and rear, respectively.

Vorsteiner has used Standard Profile on the front and Concave Profile for the rear in order to advantage of Porsche’s original tire sizes. This means that the 245/35/20 tires at the front and 295/30/20 Pirelli tires at the rear are are rub-free even after a moderate drop.

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera is motivated by the 350-horsepower (261 kW) coming from the 3.4-liter boxer engine. On the other hand the Carrera S delivers 400 hp (298 kW) from 3.8-liter boxer engine. The acceleration time for the first from 0 to 100 km/h is estimated at 4.4 seconds, while the Carrera S covers this sprint in just 4.1 seconds.

The time for acceleration is further reduced to 3.9 seconds when 911 is equipped with the Sports Chrono Package Plus. Top-track-speeds for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S are 179 mph (288 km/h) and 188 mph (303 km/h), respectively.

Vorsteiner Presents the All-new Flow Forged V-FF 104 Wheels

Celebrating its 10^th anniversary with a debuting BMW GTRS4 vehicle at the Sema Show 2014, Vorsteiner also unveils a great variety of new additions to its lightweight wheel series. Not wasting any time and just a few days after unwrapping its V-FF 101, V-FF 102 and V-FF 103 Flow Forged Wheels, now to our attention are presented the new V-FF 104s in three notable finishes.

Typically for all forged wheels produced by Vorsteiner, V-FF 104 is yet another expression of strength, minimal weight and stylish look. According to Vorsteiner experts; “Bespoke design can’t be only attractive, it must serve a purpose. While design is one of the reasons why most enthusiasts prefer certain wheels, here at Vorsteiner we believe it’s the most important.” For this reason, the team of professionals create convenient, classy, attractive and purpose-based wheels that will ensure longevity and resistance which will outlast some of the most challenging weather conditions.

This time Vorsteiner has aimed to improve the overall driving experience. Better steering response and vehicle traction are now possible due to the reduced unsprung weight as the suspension compresses and decompresses. Another key factor which enhances the acceleration and deceleration is achieved by decreasing rational mass. In consequence, there is bigger fuel economy and better performance.

Each Flow Forged Vorsteiner wheel is about 25 percent lighter than conventionally casted aftermarket wheels, yet they are much stronger. In relation to the design, the all-new flow forged wheels are limited to 20-inch sizes with widths that vary from 8.5-inches to 11-inches. The V-FF 104 pack is available in Carbon Graphite, Mystic Black and Mercury Silver.

Vorsteiner Teases a 10th Anniversary Edition Vehicle Called GTRS4

It’s rather unusual for tuning companies to release teasers, but this is what we got today from the Californian-based specialists at Vorsteiner. Obviously they are preparing for the SEMA Show and this is why they have released a sketch of the vehicle they are premiering there. The details disclosed are scarce except for the name of the car, which is GTRS4 Wide Body. Although the manqué of the automobile wasn’t revealed, it is clearly visible that it is a BMW.

Even more, the kit will probably be offered on the BMW M4 Coupe. Judging from the sketches, it will feature an aggressive front bumper and a bulging hood. The mage also shows that there will be also added extended fenders and an aggressive rear diffuser. This tuning comes to celebrate Vorsteiner’s 10th anniversary. The car will be officially revealed on 4th of November during the SEMA Show.

2014 BMW M4 Coupe is powered by a 3.0 liter TwinPower Turbo Inline six-cylinder engine. It produces 431 horsepower (317 kW) at 5,500RPM and 550Nm (406 lb-ft) at 1,850RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox as a standard. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) or an optional 280 km/h (174 mph).

The acceleration becomes even better if the car is fitted with the optional 7-speed ///M DCT, precisely – it is 4.1 seconds. The M4 is able to cover 100 km with just 8.8 liters of fuel in the combined cycle with the manual transmission and 8.3 liter with the DCT. Some of the special features for the MY2014 feature an updated MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension.

Vorsteiner Introduces BMW F82 M4 GTS Edition

Vorsteiner BMW F82 M4 GTS Edition is another example that for decades the iconic BMW M-Series is the driving force of automotive fascination – both in terms of design and performance. The specialists at Vorsteiner decided to do an expansion program which will fit both the M3 and M4. Under their expertise were the latest generation F80 M3 and F82 M4. And as you can judge by the pictures below – the result is stunning.

The experts in lightweight construction and strength optimization have specifically developed parts that keep their principles: forward thinking, evolution of automobiles, and value of personal diversity. In particular, the new F8x carbon fiber rear diffuser is a particularly complex feature of ingenuity. The reason for this lies in the fact that it is very difficult to manufacture such slender fins, rarely seen in a single monocoque construction carbon diffuser.

In fact, all of the aerodynamic components were engineered and designed with the help of 3D alias software in conjunction with the blue light laser scanning technology and 5 axis CNC milling machines for rapid prototyping.

The chassis for the F8x M3 and M4 chassis includes matte black Sport Challenge Forged VSC-101 Monoblock Wheels that come in size 20×10 inches at the front, and 20×11 inches at the rear. The alloys come coupled with Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the dimensions of 275/30/20 and 295/30/20 at the front and rear respectively.

This Vorsteiner GTS Edition also got carbon add-on front spoiler, custom livery foil kit, embroidered velour floor mats for the interior as well as exclusive stainless dual walled exhaust tips in brushed or diamond black finish.
