This new styling kit for the latest Astra will be displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show and will be on sale in Germany beginning September 17. Irmscher, the tuner specializing in Opel products, revised the exterior to feature a new front spoiler lip, a radiator grille panel with design rail in stainless steel or carbon look, seamlessly merged side skirts and an agile-looking rear roof spoiler. Irmscher is known for having its components much more closely integrated with the final product. To improve both handling and looks, Irmscher fitted an air diffuser and lowered the suspension by 30mm. Twin elliptical tailpipes provide an extra satisfactory beat to the sound. New “Turbo Star” 18-inch wheels with 225/45×18 tires were used but bigger 20s will be made available not long after the car’s launch. Custom leather was used for the seats, the door panels and the central armrests. Aluminum was used for the door-locking pins and the pedals while the sills are made from stainless steel.

We have German tuning firm Irmscher to thank for releasing an official version of the Transformers-inspired Chevrolet Cruze Bumblebee. The car would probably be one of the highlights at the Frankfurt Show where it will make its first public appearance.

The original Camaro-based Bumblebee features a yellow-and-black stripes treatment but Chevy’s designers opted for a black paint job with bright-orange racing stripes and detailing. The compact sedan’s ride height was lowered by 30mm and it was added an orange colored rear diffuser that houses a pair of new exhaust tips. The beefy 18-inch alloy wheels finished in orange and shod in 225mm wide sport tires complete the look. Chevy has no intention of enhancing the Cruze’s range with a Bumblebee edition, but Irmscher said that it will offer the package to individual customers. Photo gallery after the jump!

The latest 7 Turbo, challenger to the Caterham, has just been unveiled by the German firm Irmscher. Built from the same platform as the Lotus Super Seven, the roadster focuses on lightweight performance which should be a daunting track car and particularly so in its most powerful setup. It comes with four levels of trim, the top of which is the 7 Turbo Sport.

Tipping the scales at only 725kg, the Turbo Sport trim comes equipped with a 280hp (209kW) output, providing it with a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of about 390hp for each ton, considerably higher than what others can manage, like Chevrolet Corvette Z06. For milder power output the available trim is the Turbo Sport model, together with a turbo model with about 210hp (157kW) and a naturally-ventilated version with almost 150hp (112kW). Each of the models comes with sports tires and a custom suspension system, and an interior that is equipped with an air-conditioning system and a soft roof that is waterproof, unlike the sparse interior of the Caterhams. Further interior feature includes uniquely designed clocks and a push-start button. The 7 Turbo is equipped with independent front and rear differentials to guarantee optimum road grip even in less than ideal situations. The price for the 210hp (156kW) version is about 55,000 Euros.

Irmscher, the automobile specialist, has helped the Peugeot 4007 SUV come with a level of sporting elegance that’s reserved but gracious through the widening of the front apron with an integrated under-ride protection together with the visual feature of the stainless steel radiator grill.

Now, it’s more sportive-looking than its predecessor. The SUV off-road is highlighted on its side by it massive stainless steel running boards. A roof-mounted air spoiler makes the roof line appear longer. The rear face is highlighted by the stainless steel rear mufflers which generates a powerful exhaust sound and comes with chrome-plated tips. The interior of the massive off-roader is covered in leather with a carbon look. Featured also in the interior are high-grade and tough leather fittings that are suitable to the extreme demands on the inner elements of French vehicles and also the demands on an SUV by families. The interior design level can further be pushed higher in production. Photo gallery after the jump!

Previously, Irmscher made available the Astra GTC in gasoline variants with 1.4-liter/ 99bhp; 1.6-liter/105bhp and 1.8-liter/140bhp. Next month at the Geneva Motor Show, Irmscher will be presenting its current development of the 1.61 turbo powerplant with LPG drive. The engine produces sporty performance at 132kW/180bhp.

Included in the pack is the conversion to the alternative fuel configuration and athletic details. There are three levels of body package starting with “S1,” consisting a radiator grill in a honeycomb design, front and roof air spolers. The next level, the “iS2″comes with side sills. The last level, “iS3″consists of 19-inch light alloys. These products are sold separately. Buyers of the 2,695 Euro LPG equipment can quickly recover the costs for the athletic conversion with its less expensive fuel plus the fact that the ride is eco-friendly. There are leather upholsteries and trims for all the models contingent on customer preferences. The modifications can be quickly ordered either from Irmscher or any Opel dealers.

A new styling package that puts back the sport back into sport utility will be presented by Irmscher for the Chevrolet Captiva crossover at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The styling options for the exterior consist of a chrome front bumper guard, running boards, door handles in chrome, a roof air spoiler, and 20-inch wheels that come with an Evo-Star design.

The suspension that sits 30mm lower and which provides the car a sportier look is the most obvious revision. Exterior accessories are all made from high-end materials that are particularly intended to provide a durable finish, superb fit, and rugged toughness. Irmscher offers quite a few interior options, thus leaving it almost the same. A leather seating pack is available for a more luxurious interior where owners can choose the material, color and styling to suit their taste. Other options available for those who want more include a leather multi-function steering wheel, a central armrest in leather and a gear lever also in leather. The full line of styling products will be on sale later this year from Chevrolet dealerships. Photo gallery after the jump!
