Vorsteiner's engineers have released a lineup focused on the BMW M3 coupe and
cabriolets. The main objective of the GTS-V series development has been about
pure performance and track functionality.
The all-new Vorsteiner GTS-V components consist of a newly designed front add-on
spoiler with integrated brake cooling inlet ducts as well as newly refined rear
diffuser element made of carbon fiber pre-preg autoclave.
On the front end, an evolutionary resemblance can be drawn from the original
Vorsteiner VRS front spoiler which was introduced in 2009 when the M3 was first
available to the general public. The newly designed GTS-V front spoiler takes
subtle design cues from the original VRS front spoiler and further enhances it
with an extended lip profile which houses a functional built in front brake
cooling ducts that makes a powerful statement below the intake belt line of the
front bumper.
Thanks to a collaboration with veteran performance brake engineers that were
specially brought into for the GTS-V development, the front brake inlets focus
was pure form over function and was not intended as a mere design or fashion
statement.
At the rear end of the GTS-V sits the powerful and newly redesigned rear add-on
diffuser that also takes evolutionary design cues from the Vorsteiner's VRS rear
diffuser Type I. This newly redesigned rear piece completely updates and
freshens the look of this sports coupe with its subtle and very purposeful shape
and styling cues.
The features of the GTS-V rear diffuser starts at the top where Vorsteiner has
integrated a dual splitter element that balances the proportions of the rear
bumper and immediately identifying itself as the latest generation of Vorsteiner
products. To further improve upon the functionality and balance out the
additional downforce created from the front of the GTS-V spoiler, the central
diffuser fins were further extended downwards and reshaped.
Sales of the GTS-V aerodynamic components will begin this month.
