The Special Edition GTRS4 World Premiere

Vorsteiner is celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year and to commemorate this occasion we have developed a very special limited edition vehicle, code named GTRS4 debuting at the 2014 SEMA Show. The GTRS4 is a full lightweight carbon composite wide body conversion that is based on the 2015 BMW M4 coupe. The design and development of the GTRS4 started early this year as there were countless hours of testing and modeling that took place.

Design of an Icon:
The idea was first conceived on a blank sheet of paper where our designers took into the consideration the previous historical wide body editions such as GTRS3 based on the E92 M3, to show a lineage in both Vorsteiner design language, functionality and performance.

Our designers focused making the design organic to the original body lines of the car while retaining full functionality & everyday drivability of the vehicle. It was not enough just to make the widest possible fender as it was also dictated by the ability of the wheel to turn while under load at high or low speeds.

We also wanted to ensure the design paid tribute to M3 racing heritage and lineage while still maintaining the minimalistic Vorsteiner concept,

The Beginning of a Legend:
Once the design was sketched and finalized on paper we 3D scanned the entire factory body using Blue Light Laser Technology. With our 3D renderings, we digitally surfaced the new body panels and created CNC rapid prototypes to fit on the vehicle.

The most crucial step was the rear quarter panels as it was very important to create a perfect contour. In order to effectively create, readjust and improve this shape, our in-house master craftsmen utilized traditional clay modeling to achieve seamless and fluid proportions.

Form Follows Function:
From the original launch of the development process, our design and engineering team worked in tandem to ensure the wider fenders and wheels were functional. We strategically crafted air ducts for optimal cooling towards the front brakes, while paying attention to aerodynamic ventilation for the inbound air to exit.

The front fenders have a total span of 4 inches while the rear quarter panels sit 7 inches wider than it’s original form. We’ve specially designed 3-Piece Forged wheels in 20x10.5J and 20x13.5J respectively to fit the 275 and 345 width tires.

The vehicle is also fitted with Pirelli’s signature P Nero tires for optimal traction and performance. To add to the stance, our GTRS4 features KW Suspension’s sleeve kit allowing for height adjustment as well as keeping the original BMW Dynamic Drive features. Adding to the performance, simplicity, and versatility, the GTRS4 is upgraded using ESS Tuning’s E-Tronic for an impressive 550hp to the crank.

The Special Edition GTRS4 Package Includes:
· Carbon Fiber Front Bumper with an Integrated Front Splitter Element
· Carbon Fiber Wide Front Fenders with Ventilation (2 inches wider each side)
· Carbon Fiber Aero Side Blade Elements

looks like it belongs in a fast & furious movie.

Extreme & racy.

[roastbeef]

they always make the rear of their widebody kits about 4" wider than they should be. looks ridiculous.

It is quite bold with the new widebody package but I have seen it in person and the kit follows the lines quite well. I will say that it looked absolutely SILLY with the stock wheels!

But thats kind of the point of a widebody.

Definitely not for everyone but still there is a group out there that wants to be wild and well for no better term: WIDE.

[MichaelBlake]

looks really good. Much better than liberty walk...

[dbworld4k]

Now that is a super clean wide body!

[jballs16]

I'm not a fan of their previous M3 wide body conversion, and I typically tend to be on the more conservative side of tuning. However, I think this looks extremely well executed and tastefully done, while staying true to Vorsteiners wild side

[///Matthew]

I'll take one in Signal Green please.

[Chico]

to each his own I guess. I just don't see the point for this.

[Blindside_137]

I love it. I'm just not feeling the front fender with the double vent creases going on.

[Spoolin Montego]

rear looks pretty good, not feeling the front though...I bet it doesn't drive very nice either.

[ridin135]

Love the diffuser but that's about it

yea, i get it, and i'm just a nobody with an opinion. haha

i'm no expert on the engineering and science behind it, but it just seems like this is made to be more outrageously aggressive than it is useful or beneficial.

i would speculate they would sell a lot more kits if they came out with just a slight bulge to fit maybe 305 or maybe 315 tires with a drop rather than a dually truck look.

[nujabes24]

Holy crap it's awesome.

I feel you. You know it would be nice to have both. A wild kit for those and OE+ kit with 1" more flare. I am the OE+ guy!

BTW you can fit 305 anyways! We run it on our F80M3 with a 11.5 in the rear!

[NuclearSymphony]

Deja vu.

[infamousq]

Looks good!!!

[Teeopi]

Looks good in f82

[CarEnthused]

How do you open the fuel door?

[ZhengHai]

oh my!
