Vorsteiner GTRS3: Bad Boy Widebody BMW M3 Coupe

The Vorsteiner GTRS3 is what happens when you put a lot of carbon fiber, an M3 and some Porsche tail badges in a blender with a dollop of Venom's symbiote as your solvent. Result: a stealthy post-apocalyptic performance milkshake on wheels.

Now point your finger at the picture. Just about everything other than the doors and roof has been replaced with a wide-body version of itself in carbon fiber (front fenders, skirts, rear fender extensions, etc.).

A hood is also available, along with a stainless steel exhaust. Wheel choices from Vorsteiner include forged V-308s (18/20 inches).

Only 100 wide-body GTRS3 kits are being sold worldwide, so this time when I say "Get them while they're around," I mean it. This looks like pure, de-glossed evil and I want one.

Vorsteiner BMW X6M: The best-looking X6 Yet?

Vorsteiner is the latest aftermarket manufacturer to take on the X6 - in this case, the M version - and its awfulness. Their attempt makes the tumorous X6 stand out from the rest of its freakish kind, but only just.

The omni-carbon VRS Aero Package comes together like this: front splitter, vented hood (40% lighter than stock), roof spoiler, deck lid spoiler, and a swoopy rear diffuser.

The floor model seen here rolls on on-piece V-102 23-inchers wrapped in Michelin rubber. All pieces will be available this summer.

Vorsteiner Does the New BMW 7-Series

California tuner Vorsteiner joins the parade of tuning firms tweaking the latest generation of BMW's 7-Series limousine with the release of a new sport kit. Called the VR-7 Sportiv Aero, the package is available for both the standard and long wheelbase versions of the Bavarian automaker's flagship sedan.

The package includes several components made from carbon fiber such as the front apron, boot lid spoiler and a diffuser integrated in the rear bumper. Vorsteiner claims that these parts help increase the sedan's front-end downforce and stability.

Aside from the VR-7 Sportiv Aero package, the BMW 750i featured in these photos is also fitted with H&R's super sport suspension kit that lowers the car's ride height by 48 mm, and Vorsteiner's 21-inch forged alloy wheels that are offered in numerous finishes including brushed aluminum, chrome, gunmetal, black and silver.

The alloy wheels are shod in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires size 255/30 R21 at the front and 285/30 R21 at the rear.

Vorsteiner Dresses the BMW M3 Sedan with Dry Carbon Aero Kit

Oddly enough, Vorsteiner has released a new dry carbon aero kit for the 2008 BMW M3 E90 Sedan, a model that was in the market only for a few months as the Bavarian automaker replaced it shortly after its market introduction in early 2008 with the facelifted 2009MY M3 sedan. But anyway, the California-based tuner's proposal include various lightweight dry carbon components such as a trunk lid, a front-lip spoiler and a rear diffuser with integrated fins.

Porsche 911 Turbo V-RT Aero Package by Vorsteiner

California-based tuner Vorsteiner that specializes on Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche models, has released a new aerodynamic and alloy wheel package for the Porsche 911 Turbo (997) called "V-RT". Up front, the exterior kit adds a new front fascia that features larger carbon fiber air intakes for the radiators and elimination of the fog lights like the factory 997 GT2 as well as a removable dry carbon fiber front lower spoiler. According to Vorsteiner, the new bumper assembly is lighter than the factory bumper.

The 997 Turbo's rear-end receives a new and wider bumper with enlarged side intercooler extraction vents that house a replacement dry carbon fiber shroud plus a new molded carbon fiber rear diffuser with integrated twin aero fins that encompass the quad sport exhaust tips. The VR-T aero package is completed with a carbon composite rear deck lid/engine cover with twin ram air scoops.

Finally, Vorsteiner has developed a new set of seven-spoke, 3-piece forged wheels with a race-inspired center mesh design that are available in 19- and 20-inch configurations.
