Not too long ago, the guys from Vilner unveiled their version of a Stormtrooper and we were blown away. The amount of details to comprehend was huge and it was immediately obvious that no rebate was made when putting it all together.
Almost everything was changed, really making the car worthy of the Stormtrooper name. However, there are others out there that also want to use that nomenclature and this particular M6 is one of them.

Unlike the Vilner creation, this car is a lot more modest in terms of tuning. It doesn’t have the Infiniti headlights or the bespoke interior, but the color scheme works for it though.

Sure, in that regard, any car with the black and white color palette would resemble, in a way, a Stormtrooper. The Alpine White color of the body is perfectly complemented by the tinted windows and the carbon fiber roof, as well as the gloss black kidney grilles up front and the smoked taillights.

The side mirrors have also changed their color, going for the same black we’ve been getting used to by now, while the front spoiler received a Vorsteiner carbon fiber splitter.

Round the back, BMW M Performance parts decorate the rear fascia introducing a carbon-fiber performance spoiler and diffuser to the mix. In order not to make the aforementioned diffuser look weird all alone on the rear bumper, a Meisterschaft GTC exhaust with matte 102 mm tips was added to the mix, a system that has AMS catless downpipes along the way.

You might’ve also noticed the new wheels as well. They come from Strasse Wheels and measure 22 inches all around, the SV8 model featuring Gloss Black centers and Matte Black step lips and inner barrels. For the stance, a set of H&R springs was added to the mix.

Now this 560 HP beast is a sick M6 but we’re not really certain it qualifies for the Stormtrooper nickname. What do you think?
