BMW Series 7 (G11) with wide carbon fiber body kit

At the 2015 International Motor Show Germany BMW revealed the sixth generation of the Series 7 (G11) which was the first car lineup of BMW to be based on the CLAR platform. It was produced until 2022 and was not modified as often as other models of the Bavarian manufacturer. However, tuner AT26 Design received a request from a Latvian owner to make his car better.

Tuner started the project in 2018 with a completion time of 24 months. The result is a wide carbon fiber body kit, and inspiration was found in the car designs of the Japanese company Rocket Bunny. In order to satisfy all the wishes of the owner, the process started with sketches, followed by scanning of the bodywork and the production of a plastic model. The final product was made of carbon fiber, which was easier to work with than if some other material had been used.

Ultimately, the car’s body kit included fender flares with integrated vents, lip spoiler, front splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler and diffuser. All components are done in contrast with the gray body, and the result is a wild look.

Under the bonnet of the BMW 740d is a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine with 406 hp (303 kW), instead of the standard 320 hp (239 kW). Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic Steptronic transmission. Also, the tuner equipped the car with a special set of Z-Performance 22-inch wheels instead of the standard 19″ wheels.

When it comes to the price of the upgrade, we can say that the owner did not pay much. The total value of the parts installed on the car was 23,000 euros, which is not too much.
