Irmscher Tunes The Opel Vivaro For Some Reason

Spanish aftermarket tuning company Irmscher is crafting a unique tuning program for the new Opel Vivaro light commercial van. You know, to make moving furniture cool again.

The company has released no information on how (let alone why) it plans to stroke another 30 horses from the Vivaro’s 1.6 liter turbo-diesel – or available bi-turbo diesel – but that’s the power bump they are working toward. A number of cosmetic changes are offered to the new 2015 Opel Vivaro, such as 17-inch alloys in one of three different finishes, hood stripes, body graphics, a front spoiler, and a stainless sport* exhaust.

*assumed the term “sport” is used here as lightly as possible.

The interior of the van can also be fitted with optional premium leather upholstery and steering wheel, custom floor mats, and a few other items. There is no confirmation yet of whether other performance upgrades – i.e. suspension, brakes – will be available.

This isn’t the first time Irmscher has delivered an answer to a question nobody asked. Remember that time when they showed off a tuned Mokka?

  1. Irmscher designed a beautiful grille for the Saturn Sky / Opel GT, and never took it to market… so they’re going to sell this instead? At least I understand GM’s business decisions.

    1. It may be a niche market but in the UK at least, both Vauxhall and Ford seem to have done well supplying ‘hot-looking’ vans to independent traders and small businesses. Way to go!

  2. For what it is, it doesn’t look half bad. Too bad the Vivaro is not in the USA for Chevy instead of the re-badged Nissan.

  3. IRMSCHER was the official Opel and the German tuning company. Now recently, she has expanded and offers a lot of GM’s worked well for tuning and other auto parts manufacturers.
    otherwise, the Irmscher Opel’s official tuning. Opel had been formally Irmscher models and price list. Irmscher was like AMG.
