Until about two decades ago, the Yakuza were the only people who used to roll with luxury cars converted to the so-called “bippu” style, later on known as “VIP Style”. Nowadays it is a much more common tuning style in Japan, meaning that not every slammed Lexus LS or Mercedes-Benz S-Class is driven by a mobster or is associated with the Yakuza anymore.
In short, the VIP Style tuning culture mostly incorporates Japanese or German full-size luxury cars with high-end alloy wheels that are exaggerated in size and a lowered suspension.
Some even go as far as adding aerodynamic bodykits and extremely cambered wheels, but most of them aren't as flamboyant, just like the black Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 in the adjacent photos.
Done by the peeps behind the Office-K tuning workshop, this S-Class is actually an S 400 Hybrid model from the current generation with short wheelbase, which means is probably one of the best cars for cruising at low speeds and exhibiting at least some parts of the VIP Style tuning culture.
In our case, the VIP Style is brought by the car's model, color, the lowered suspension and last, but certainly not least, by the set of 22-inch Forgiato Undice-ECL alloy wheels.
Unlike other luxo-barges sporting 22-inch Forgiato wheels, this one is actually pretty far from burning your retinas with an ostentatious exterior, with some people even calling it discrete.
Since Office-K is mostly know for theatrical projects such as this red G 63 AMG, seeing something like this is definitely a subject of discussion. What do you guys think, does this S 400 Hybrid need anything else in the aftermarket styling department?
