Vorsteiner 599-VX Custom Ferrari 599 Coupe

We’ve seen this (or something like it) before, but Vorsteiner say it’s a completely new project – It’s the 599-VX custom Ferrari 599. New or old, we couldn’t say no to it. We really liked the fact that Vorsteiner have dropped the racing stripe and the numbering. The front grille also looks new (more meshy now).

They say that the aftermarket components act as a 70 percent lighter alternative to the original. That’s supposedly due to the fact that all the body elements from Vorsteiner are made from carbon fiber at its best. The air-intakes, slashes and vents and so on are made to complement the Ferrari 599’s Italian curves but they also strive for functionality. Then there are the 1-Piece Forged Monoblock wheels which are exclusively made for the 599. The type of coating and color is up to the client.

The unorthodox looking tailpipes at the back only hint that the whole exhaust system has been hand-crafted with performance and sound in mind. And a standard Ferrari 599 no doubt has what it takes to walk the talk – a 6.0 liter V12 aluminum engine body that produces 612 hp at the staggering 7600 rpm. Torque is almost just as much in Nm. It’s quite understandable why Vorsteiner got only to the hood (those overt-the-top vents) and gave up there. There’s simply no need to alter or add power.

Here’s what the complete 599-VX program from Vorsteiner looks like:

• Front Bumper Integrated with Optical Carbon Fiber Chin Spoiler

• Louvered Race Hood with Carbon Fiber Optic Vents

• Carbon Fiber Side Sill Extension Blades

• Rear Bumper with Integrated Rear Diffuser Carbon Fiber

• Aerodynamic Deck Lid Spoiler Carbon Fiber

• 20, 21, or 22 inch Special Edition Forged Aluminum Multi Spoke Wheel

• Stainless Steel Race Exhaust System with Dual Race Tips Brushed

2012 Vorsteiner BMW GTRS3 E93 M3

It is black, it is has an outstanding performance, it is BMW M3 and in addition to all this it is tuned by Vorsteiner.

Yes, the new latest project of the tuning company is equipped with some exceptional features, which makes it look unique.

More importantly, it now carries all those boutique qualities, which will create the feeling of “being special” in any customer.

The Wheels Boutique had taken further the image of the BMW E93 M3, by converting it into a Vorsteiner BMW GTRS3 E93 M3 with the help of Vorsteiner Aero Package, which includes:

GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Front Bumper
GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Front Fenders
GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Side Skirts
GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Rear Bumper
GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Rear Fenders
GTRS3 Carbon Fiber Boot Lid
GTS3 Carbon Fiber Vented Hood
E93 Aero Boot Lid Double Carbon Fiber

Furthermore, we can’t go without mentioning the state-of-the-art Vorsteiner Wheels. In particular, they are VS-350 Forged Concave wheels 20X10.5 for the front, and 20X12.5 for the rear. Of course, this project has to have some exceptional tires as well. For the front are used 285/25/20 Michelin PS2 Tires and for the rear 325/25/20 Michelin PS2 Tires.

Vorsteiner V-309 Ferrari California

The most recent update from Vorsteiner is this beautiful Ferrari California. In particular Vorsteiner V-309 Ferrari California is no less than a true queen, showing its sparkling majesty on the streets of Taiwan, where this actual update was made.

What is more here, one of the Vorsteiner’s dealers there, has equipped the Ferrari with theses splendid Vorsteiner V-309 3-piece forged aluminum wheels.

The result is obvious and there is no question about the majestic stance which this vehicle has – now further enhanced thank to Vorsteiner.

Of course these wheels were custom made and ordered specifically to match the California. As you can see, the five split spoke face of the wheels is done in black. At the same time there is a contrast present, with lip is done in white.

Vorsteiner V-RT 911 Twin Turbo Cabriolet

Lately, a lot of Vorsteiner dealers tend to showcase exotic cars with kits and wheels from the source. This one is from Wheels Boutique in Florida. Vorsteiner VR-T components expose themselves here and there on this Porsche 911 Twin Turbo Cabriolet.

The VR-T line front bumper seems just about right for the job. It houses bigger carbon fiber air intakes and throws away the factory fog lights and headlight washer bezzles. The VR-T rear bumper works on the wide aspects of the Porsche – the flaring side vents also benefit the intercooler. The back end also gets a molded carbon diffuser with twin fins and enough space for the quad sport exhaust tips. For the overall complete feel, a VR-T rear deck lid and wing had to be heavily modified to fit on the convertible version.

At the end of the day, we have a perfectly decent roadster with a bit of character added that is ready to take you out under the blazing sun Florida. Hope it comes with sunscreen as well.

The BMW E90 M3 – A Vorsteiner Project

Vorsteiner seem to be preoccupied these days with BMWs. More specifically, the M3 range. Well, this time it’s not actually Vorsteiner. It’s one of their dealers – Vivid Racing, based in Glibert, Arizona. They have taken a 2008 BMW M3 Sedan (E90) and have spiced it up in the name of aesthetics. At least, that’s how some people see it.

Power is not up, but Vivid Racing are considering it as the bar for more performance is now up. By the bar, I mean the stopping power – four new Brembo 380mm crossed drilled rotors complete with six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston ones at the back.

The handling may also benefit from the newly installed H & R springs and sway bars that give the beemer some more rigidity and a lower stance. For the aerodynamics, Vivid have gone for the Vorsteiner GTS3 Carbon Fiber Front Bumper that comes with an air splitter, and a Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Boot Lid. The rear also gets a Carbon Fiber diffuser for an overall complete feel.

Subtle, lean and sleek. We like it.

A Blue BMW M3 GTRS3 by Vorsteiner

Vorsteiner‘s GTRS3 program for the BMW M3 Coupe is not really something that came out yesterday – it’s been around for almost two years now. However, it sill is hot by today’s standards and the latest proof of that is what we see here – a matte blue GTRS3 M3 having a photo shoot in Taiwan and generally gaining popularity.

The program is mainly visual and consists of a widebody kit – front and rear bumpers (rear end diffuser included), flaring wheel arches and extended side skirts, all made from carbon fiber, adorn the M3. The hood and bood lid have been completely replaced and some piping has been done as well. All summed up, as an end product, it is a flashy looking thing with its big air scoops everywhere, its asphalt grinding stance and its taunting stainless steel quad exhaust system.

As a round up element, the wheels have been changed as well. It’s the twin 7-spoked, three piece Concave Forged Mesh wheels from Vorsteiner‘s V-308 line. Sizes come in both 19 and 20 inches.

For how long are the Vorsteiner people going to rely on it? Although, with those looks, its hard to give it up as a portfolio car.

Vorsteiner V-MS Program for BMW 5 Series M-Tech

Vorsteiner is a company that spends a great deal of time focusing on designing wheels. And they are not looking bad at all. From time to time however, they tend to issue full-blown tuning programs complete with aerodynamic sets, wheels naturally and exhaust systems. Their latest one is called the V-MS Program and in order to eligible for it, you must posses a BMW 5 (F10) series that has the factory M Tech aero package.

The Vorsteiner provided aero bits are all from the company’s pre-peg carbon fiber line. That includes a specially designed front spoiler, a subtle trunk lid spoiler and a high-temperature resistant diffuser between the Vorsteiner F10 Sports Exhaust pipes. They on the other hand, offer a tiny power boost (+12hp and 2lb/ft of torque according to their dyno test) and also, they can sing pretty well, Formula 1 style. Rounding up the look, are the four 20 and 21-inch custom made forged wheels on which the car sits. They have been specifically made for the F10 with their 5-spoke star design matte black feel. Another thing finished (or not-finished) in matte black is the bodywork itself. I have to admit that, combined with the visible carbon aerodynamic elements, all looks astonishingly well. The only problem I have with this car are the taillights. They look like those “Shutter Shade” glasses people wear to look like Kanye West. If you are going to go subtle, go subtle – tint them or leave them as they are.

Vorsteiner Rolls-Royce Ghost [Teaser]

Vorsteiner have undertaken an ambitious project and have released a bit of a teaser. It will be the Rolls Royce Ghost that’s going under the knife. But , in true spirit of the ultra-executive, the company intends to keep it simple and clean. In fact nothing is to be replaced but rather clipped on.

The end goal for Vorsteinier is to add a great deal of functionality and a little bit of character. That’s why the Ghost here gets some additional downforce by a front spoiler with a replaceable splitter chin. Supposedly further back there will be side skirts blade attachments with integrated wing elements. (although they don’t seem to be present in this picture, but it is, after all, a teaser). Then at the back end, one would find that there is going to be a carbon fiber rear decklid spoiler and a diffuser at the bottom (not a replacement part but an add-on). All of the body kit components are made trough an Autoclave pre-preg carbon fiber technology that guarantees durability and strength.

It all looks and sound very subtle indeed. The one thing sticking out in the Vorsteiner Ghost however, will be the massive 24-inch 3-Piece forged aluminum wheels that barely leave room for tires under the arches. Plans are to release the program this Summer.
