Vilner Studio Gives BMW 6-Series Coupe a Pencil Stache

Forget about BMW's traditional and more recently, very calorific, double kidney grilles; Bulgarian tuning firm Vilner Studio has re-imagined one of the German automaker's models, the previous generation E63 6-Series Coupe, with what we see as, a…pencil thin mustache grille (guess you can skip on these accessories with a face like that).

If you manage to take your eyes off the half-naked / half-dressed female model posting inside and out of the car, you may notice some fake gill-like shapes (talk about over-doing the fish theme…) on the front fenders, which kind of (but not really) justifies the name given to Vilner's creation, the "Bullshark".

It appears from these pictures shot during the presentation of the 6-Series Bullshark that, both ends of the 6-Series Coupe have gone under the knife, as has the interior.

The 19-inch AC Schnitzer wheels aren't the only part to come from the German tuning brand, which is also responsible for the software optimization of the car's 4.4-liter V8 engine that now produces 365HP (370PS), up from 329HP (333PS), for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 278km/h (173mph).

Sow and Tell: Vilner Revitalizes a 1976 Corvette Sting Ray

A third generation Corvette Sting Ray from 1976 is the latest project completed by Bulgarian studio Vilner. The local owner of the classic American muscle car ordered an interior and exterior makeover, as well as some performance upgrades.

Beginning with the latter, the C3's 5.7-liter V8 was enhanced with an array of parts from Edelbrock Performance, including new head, shafts and two twin carburetors. While the car hasn't been dyno-tested yet, Vilner expects the V8 to push out some 300-horsepower.

For the exterior, the Corvette was painted in a new pearl brown shade, while also receiving new LED tail lamps, LED daytime running lights, and LED turning indicators, along with a vintage suitcase made of camel leather that resides on the original chrome-plated boot rack.

Inside, Vilner re-did the entire interior in a combination of different leathers in beige and dark brown, accented with contrasting stitching (even the steering wheel stalks are dressed in stitched leather…). In addition, all wood veneer trims were replaced by inserts made of Corian material, while the design and lighting of the instrument panel gauges are also new.
