Maserati GranCabrio Sport interior designed by Vilner

Vilner is presenting its latest tuning project based on the 2012 Maserati GranCabrio Sport.

Vilner is presenting its latest tuning project based on the 2012 Maserati GranCabrio Sport. Bulgarian tuners from Vilner are back again with a new striking interior work, done for a customer from the United Kingdom. The owner of a Maserati GranCabrio Sport from 2012 wanted a special treatment for the cabin of his Italian vehicle and after visiting several UK-based tuners decided to trust Vilner.

The Sofia-based tuning shop has left the exterior of the vehicle in its original form, featuring 20-inch alloy wheels and Rosso Trionfale body color. The interior on the other hand has been fully redesigned - gone is the original Bianco Pregiato theme, replaced by a two-tone brown-red leather upholstery. A contrasting white stitching for the seats, door cards, armrests, and dashboard completes the stylish look.

All the hard surfaces like the base of the seats have been wrapped in fine Alcantara, while the central mirror on the windshield has received a brown leather front frame and black Alcantara. Even the locking mechanisms of the seat belts are covered with two layers of skin, resembling “old school driving gloves.”

“I’ve always adored the car from the moment I got it,” explains the owner. “It shares a lot of technologies with Ferrari, but the largely vinyl interior has always been easily damaged and degraded. The new interior by Vilner is simply wonderful. If only Maserati could produce an interior of this quality that looked even half as spectacular. It finally has an inside to match the outside.”

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 by Carlex Design

Carlex Design is back with a fresh new project, this time based on the outgoing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Chevrolet just launched a new Camaro, but those who want the menacing ZL1 will have to wait a little bit longer as the beefier variant will be out in time for the 2017MY, so until then you're stuck with the outgoing version which has received an interior makeover from Carlex Design. This is actually an older, pre-2014MY with a Bright Yellow paint that has received a matching interior cabin with a striking black and yellow combo.

Just about every visible surface has been given a makeover and the seats are now wrapped around in Nappa leather featuring a black finish combined with a vivid yellow hue which according to Carlex Design takes its cues from Lamborghini's yellow shade. In addition, this Camaro ZL1 also benefits from some artsy airbrush painting on the dashboard and also on the door panels which make the Bumblebee stand out even more.

Mitsubishi Pajero by Vilner

Bulgarian design studio Vilner has been given the task to modify the interior of a Mitsubishi Pajero. A Bulgarian client living in Denmark asked Vilner to spice up the cabin of his Pajero and apply a few exterior tweaks as well. They started off by giving the vehicle a brand new paintjob and then moved to the interior where they installed four individual bucket seats. The cabin is now wrapped around in a combination of orange and black leather, along with dark grey Alcantara on the headliner and a few other areas.

Other highlights include a piano black trim and real walnut veneer, together with a new sound system and an individual travel bag with the same finish as the cabin. The piece of resistance is of course the under-door projector showing the Vilner logo.

After working on the Renault Duster, DC Design focused their attention on the Nissan Sunny and made a wide array of modifications to the interior.

Carlex Design Europe Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 with redesigned interior

Carlex Design Europe has revamped the interior cabin of a Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400. By using a lot of red leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber, the people working at Carlex have given the Impreza STI CS400 "Wild Beast" a whole new look. The seats are wrapped around in red and black leather with red stitching which is the same theme used for the doors. The steering wheel and gear shifter are black with red stitching, while the dash, pillars and roof are covered in Alcantara.

The 2.5-liter turbocharged engine was left untouched so it delivers the same 395 hp (295 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque, which is enough to propel the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
