Irmscher Opel Astra IRC / Born to perform

Spectacular design study for the Opel Astra in Irmscher sports clothing - the car makes a grand entrance with its extensive design elements. The Remshalden-based company has been building special vehicles and special models for more than 55 years - more than 500,000 vehicles have already been customised in Irmscher modification centres.

The World Rally Championship and the WRC vehicles served as inspiration for this spectacular design. Even at first glance at the front, one recognises the clear differentiation through the aggressive front section with the elaborately designed widenings and air openings. The Irmscher radiator grille with the typical Opel Vizor "face" has been part of the Irmscher DNA for many years. On the side, there are dynamically integrated side attachments which extend over the entire lower side area and end in the widening of the rear section. The striking rear apron, in conjunction with the air resistance-optimised, sweeping rear spoiler, dominates the entire rear section and effectively underlines the grand appearance.

Rally sport has left a lasting mark on Irmschers history and this is clearly evident in the Irmscher Astra IRC. Countless motorsport successes by drivers such as Walter Röhrl, Jocki Kleint, Franz Engstler or even Johnny Cecotto can be felt when looking at this vehicle.

Irmscher has been offering an extensive customisation portfolio in the series since the market launch, e.g. a body kit, lowering, performance upgrades of up to 25 PS and wheels up to 20 inches in Hydra Star design. These wheels are also the footwear of the Irmscher Astra IRC in a modified version.

Irmscher is aiming for a system output of 260 PS - whether the Irmscher Astra IRC will be realised in a small series is still open. Until then, all interested customers can already order the available Irmscher customisations from any Opel Irmscher partner or directly at www.irmscher.de.
