BMW G11 7-Series Receives Unique Carbon Fiber Widebody Treatment
by AutoExpert | 18 March, 2024
An owner from Latvia wanted his flagship BMW G11 7-Series to be noticed, so he hired AT26 Design to construct a carbon fiber widebody package just for him. Adding Rocket Bunny-style cosmetic enhancements to the car was the primary objective.
The procedure began with drawings, then moved on to scanning the bodywork and, lastly, the creation of a plastic replica of the accessories. The tuner reported that carbon fiber, being both lighter and easier to work with than fiberglass, was the material chosen for the finished result.
Aside from that, the diffuser, side skirts, front splitter, ducktail spoiler, and broad fender extensions with integrated apertures are all left with visible carbon weave. It's important to keep in mind that the conversion is completely reversible because the standard body panels remain intact beneath the carbon clothing.
The tuner decided to give up the 19-inch wheels of the stock car. Therefore, the BMW G11 7-Series is now resting on a set of 22-inch wheels manufactured by Z-Performance. Technically speaking, the standard BMW 740d had 315 horsepower. However, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter, six-cylinder diesel engine was upgraded to provide 400 horsepower. Power goes to each of the four wheels.
The owner spent €9,000 ($9,791) for the 22-inch Z Performance wheels, €8,000 ($8,705) for the customized carbon fiber body package, and an additional €6,000 ($6,529) for the rear spoiler, diffuser, and lip. This project you see here was a two-year initiative that began in 2018.
