Bulgarian tuning house, Vilner have been working on a new project project called the “BMW Stormtrooper” and here’s a few teaser images that would definitely excite Star Wars fans out there.

The model is essentially a convertible version of the 6-Series ‘Bullshark’, revealed last year. Vilner explains that “after the transformation, the vehicle looks like a Stormtrooper – the soldiers from the Galactic Empire” from the Star Wars saga.

The convertible has received major design changes that include new headlights, bumpers, engine hood, alloy wheels with most of the aerodynamic elements made of carbon fibre. The interior (below) on the other hand, comes equipped with brown leather all around, including the dash and centre column (helmet not included!)

The Bullshark is powered by an updated V8 4.4-litre engine with an exhaust system from AC Schnitzer and that produces 370hp and 522 Nm of torque. A similar power plant is expected for the ‘Stormtrooper’ version, which means it will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ in around 5.4 seconds.

More details along with photos will be released over the next few weeks and we’ll keep you updated!
