Vorsteiner Is Working On Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG

Vorsteiner Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is a pure muscular off-roader. It is equipped with the monstrous 5,461 ccm V12 biturbo unit beneath the massive engine hood. The power of the engine is rated at 612 hp (450 kW) and draws from a maximum torque of 1000 Nm (738 lb-ft). G63 AMG is the perfect example of how an antiquated German cross country vehicle can still look modern in today’s evolving automotive design. And Vorsteiner has definitely contributed towards that.

The vehicle still carries its authentic 35 year old styling. However, this G-wagon has been refreshed with Vorsteiner’s 22” VSR-163 Forged Monoblock wheels in Matte Brushed Shadow finish. They have been used for both front and rear.

The wheels have been fitted with a set of Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires in the appropriate dimension of 305/35/22. Vorsteiner still continues working on the vehicle and promises to add to it an aero kit.

The design studio has announced “behind the scenes” that this breathtaking G-wagon will be fitted with a carbon fiber front lip and rear spoiler. This of course will further reinforce the militaristic appearance of the G-Class. So we are expecting more info and images from the working process!

Vorsteiner BMW F32 435i Alpine White is the latest powerful creation of the California-based tuning company. There’s not much don on this BMW, but still – it makes us admire how simple modification can entirely transform the presence of the car. The latest 2014 model of the F32 was introduced in June last year. It captured with its head-turning and typical BMW design.

Vorsteiner BMW F10 M5 In Singapore Gray

As usual the specialists at Vorsteiner have been very active and now have a new project to present. This time they have redesigned the significant BMW F10 M5 Series, which looks stunning even without a tuning. However, its appearance was pretty much improved and now this BMW looks even more aggressive.

To go directly to the details the M5 got a brand new carbon fiber aero front spoiler and aero rear diffuser, for more harmony. Then Vorsteiner decided this wasn’t enough and gave this BMW it special edition 21” Matte Black VSE-003 forged wheels.

Precisely, the wheels come in sizes 21×9.5J for the front and 21x11J for the rear. Of course, the tuners coupled them with appropriate Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres in the dimensions 265/30/21 and 295/25/21 for the front and rear, respectively.

At last but not least, the M5 was painted in Singapore Gray. This paint scheme will definitely make it stand out among the crowd. The power coming from the 4.4 liter twin-turbocharged V8 was not changed – it is still equal to 560 hp (412 kW) and 680Nm (502 lb-ft) of toque. The top speed here is 305 km/h (190 mph), while the 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint is covered in 4.4 seconds.

Vorsteiner Introduces McLaren MP4-VX In Volcano Orange

The exceptional tuning company Vorsteiner has just unveiled a striking Volcano Orange McLaren MP4-12C which was enhanced with tuner’s full MP4-VX package. The MP4-12C is alone a breath-taking vehicle, powered by 3.8 L V8 twin turbo McLaren M838T engine coupled with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is one of the most wanted spuercar in the world and now for those lucky to afford it, Vorsteiner has prepared some intriguing optimizations.

To be more precise, this McLaren model is capable of producing 625 horsepower (460 kW) and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in the mere 3.1 seconds. The top speed here is electronically limited up to 329 km/h (204 mph). The MP4-12C achieves 11.7 L/100 km fuel consumption on avarage and delivers CO2 emissions of 279 g/km.

To go straight to the facts, when this McLaren fell in the hands of the specialists, it first got a full carbon front bumper with integrated PDC (Parking Distance Control) Sensors and Headlight Washer. At the rear, a new bumper with the same sensors is to be found, while at the sides one can see side sill extension blades.

The stunning Volcano Orange exterior paint scheme is perfectly complemented by the design of the Sport Multi-Piece Forged VSM-311 Wheels on which the car runs. They come in dimension of 20x9J and 21×12.5J at the front and rear, respectively, while fitting effortlessly over the enormous 14.6-inch rotors.

The unique wheels were then coupled with Pirelli P Zero Nero tyres in sizes 255/30/20 at the front and 375/20/21 at the rear. What is left unsaid is that the choice of the wheel finish is Matte Black Face complemented by Volcano Orange Reverse Lip.

Vorsteiner Introduces V-GT Edition 991 Porsche Carrera S

Vorsteiner is a tuning company which works with no compromise when it comes to the materials it uses or even the cars it tunes. We have seen so far from the designers, breath-taking project done with an effortless touch.

Their take on the 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S dubbed as V-GT Edition is another example of the craftsmanship they can do. TO be more precise, this Porsche 911 has been fitted with Vorsteiner’s Flow Forged V-FF 101 in Matte Textured Gunmetal that adds a striking contrast to the red exterior paint finish.

The wheels come in sizes of 20×8.5J at the front and 20x11J at the rear. Of course, they were later perfectly coupled with Pirelli P Zero tyres that come in sizes 245/35/20 and 295/30/20 for the front and rear, respectively.

Then the tuners added their Carbon Fiber Aerodynamic Package that comprises of our Carbon Fiber V-GT Front Spoiler, Side Skirts and Rear Diffuser. Vorsteiner’s Autoclaved Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber gives the parts superior stiffness, aerospace strength and durability in comparison to the traditional hand laid carbon fiber composites. In addition, the carbon elements give the car more aggressive and sportier appearance.

Vorsteiner Range Rover Veritas Is One Of Five

Vorsteiner Range Rover Veritas is the first of five 10-Year Anniversary vehicles, which are to be enhanced by the tuner. The refiner is celebrating 10 years and this modification comes to commemorate the anniversary.

The Veritas tuning program transforms this Range Rover into a purposeful vehicle which is equipped with full carbon fiber front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper. In fact, the carbon fiber is made via a special treatment. Precisely it is laid by hand allowing the existing PDC (Park Distance Control) sensors, as well as all exterior cameras, to function flawlessly with the factory hardware.

Vorsteiner has become famous over the years with the exquisite wheels it offers. In the present case, the Veritas is equipped with the Vorsteiner Sport Race Forged VSR-163 wheels finished in Gloss Brushed Shadow. The VSR-163s come in size of 24x10J at the back and the rear and are coupled with 285/35/24 Pirelli Tires.

To go even further into details, it is important to mention that each individual spoke on the VSR-163 is machined in a triangular shape that gradually gets wider toward the rear. This small element significantly improves machine time over standard squared spokes.

In addition, the company is also offering an interior treatment. Range Rover Veritas is fitted with custom leather upholstery. At last, Vorsteiner has also disclosed that there are four more models to come, which will celebrate the decade of perfection and success of the tuning brand.

Vorsteiner BMW M3 on Flow Forged V-FF 101

Vorsteiner-BMW-E92-M3-Coupe-shadow Vorsteiner-BMW-E92-M3-Coupe-medium Vorsteiner have released their latest aero + wheel combo. It’s kind of a familiar BMW M3 E92 but now on (again familiar) Flow Forged V-FF 101 wheels. We guess that makes it exciting? Probably.

The wheels in question come in sizes 19×10 at the front and 19×11 at the rear. They carry a fancy five double-spoke design and are coated with a Matte Gunmetal paint. The tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

The included aero bits and pieces account for the GTS-V front spoiler which takes away even more from the already low ground clearance. At the back, the California-based company have went for their own Type II rear diffuser. The new boot lid too is an addition by Vorsteiner.

To be honest, the whole thing is very subtle. So much so in fact, there isn’t anything left to say about it. Do enjoy the photo shoot though. Vorsteiner are very handy when it comes to camera work.

Tesla Model S With Vorsteiner Flow Forged V-FF 101 Wheels

Vorsteiner-V-FF-101-Tesla-Model-S-shadow It’s nice to see Tesla back in the news, even if it’s just by proxy. Vorsteiner – the California-based tuning company with a rather German name – have laid their hands on a Tesla Model S, which coincidentally (or not) is also a Californian brain child.

Maybe because it’s such an interesting choice (an electric car), Vorsteiner didn’t do much in terms of modifications. In fact, it’s just your average wheel-change-scheme: away with the stock 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels and on with the Vorsteiner set. They’ve gone for the 20-inch V-FF 101 Flow Forged Alloy wheels. Supposedly, they are even lighter than the standard ones. Sporting 285/35 R20 Michelins rather than the stock 245/45 R19 Goodyears must be taking a toll on the Tesla’s range; but let’s be honest, the new wheels most definitely do not look out of place on the Model S.

Just a reminder, the Tesla Model S is an all-electric RWD sedan powered by a 60 kWh lithium battery pack. It has pretty much all the features you would find on any of the executive saloons: Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, big, ventilated ABS, an independent back suspension, Xenon headlights and LED back lights, a 200 watt, seven speaker system, eight airbags and many more.

The Beginning Of The Vorsteiner Lamborghini LP-550/60 Renazzo

Vorsteiner-Lamborghini-Gallardo-Renazzo-front-piece-shadow Finally, some actual news from Vorsteiner. It’s not much, but it will have to do for now. We’re talking about a new front piece for the Lamborghini Gallardo. Called the Renazzo, it replaces the OEM fascia with a distinctive carbon-fiber bits end vents. The tuners have called the Lambo featured in this gallery the Vorsteiner Lamborghini LP-550/60 Renazzo. We’re guessing the logic behind the name is that the piece fits both the LP-550 and LP-560?

The 2×2 carbon composite pre-preg construction features two floating aero fins and honey comb mess grills. As an option, there’s, again a 2×2 carbon fiber, center splitter add-on piece and dual fins for even more looks and (possibly) stability.

The design didn’t just come out from thin air. Vorsteiner’s partial source of inspiration was the Gallardo Super Trofeo race car that competes in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo league. The Renazzo project aims to bring that concept onto the streets.

Yes, there will be more Vorsteiner bits coming out to complete the program. Oh, and the wheels featured here in this gallery belong to Vorsteiner’s Forged VSE-001 one-piece line. We’d venture 20-inches in size.

Vorsteiner And An Orange BMW E82 1M Coupe

Vorsteiner-BMW-E82-1M-Coupe-shadow Vorsteiner-BMW-E82-1M-Coupe-medium Remember that Vorsteiner kit for the BMW 1M Coupe? Well, now we get to see it in its full glory in this latest photo shoot. Mmm…sweet orange bliss.

All additional body parts are made with Vorsteiner’s trademark autoclave pre-preg carbon fiber. The front is a bit of a handful with all its distortions and whatnot, but apparently all is in the name of aerodynamics. The fins on both of the side extremities are supposed to channel cooling air to the front brakes. The trunk lid has been replaced entirely to save a few pounds (it now adds only 11.5 lbs to the overall curb weight). It also has a barely noticeable integrated lip spoiler at its very end.

The custom-made exhaust system comes in either stainless steel or titanium and gives a small jolt of additional power so that the 1M now has 350 hp and 337 lb-ft of torque.

And what about the wheels? They seem to be the same VS-400s that were quoted in the program, but the tires on this one read 245/35ZR19. That means they must have downsized a bit from the initial measures. That is, ether 20 or 21 inches.

Still, we can’t complain. It all looks pretty appealing.
