The tuning firm Wald International isn’t just limited to high-performance machines like the Nissan GT-R and Bentley Continental GT. That’s why Wald international will be releasing a Black Bison kit for the latest generation Toyota Landcruiser. The boxy Toyota is made more aggressive with a revised front bumper, roof mounted wing, quad tipped exhaust, and Wald split spoke alloys.
The challenge for every tuner is to improve on the production model without ruining the original design. That is what tuning company Wald International did with the Nissan GT-R. Their Black Bison appearance package makes the Nissan look more aggressive with making it look gaudy. The kit comes with a complete body kit that includes a front bumper, side skirts, fender flares for the rear arches, a new rear diffuser and a new spoiler. There are also fresh wheels to go along with the abundance of carbon fiber.
The add-ons come in either dry or wet carbon fiber. For those who are interested to know the difference, wet carbon is the glossy material most are familiar with, while dry carbon fiber is the dull gray material used in race cars and spaceships.
The price difference between that two is in excess of $14,000, as wet carbon is priced at $11,620 and dry carbon at $26,410. There is no mention of power upgrades in the Wald package, but with 480 horsepower from the factory the appearance can stand to play catch up to the performance.
Bentley owners usually sit on two very opposite sides of the rich people spectrum. They are conservative people who want to keep a low profile but still ride in luxury, or recording artists (or wannabes) who are out to show the whole world how wealthy they can appear. This kit is for the latter.
The Black Bisson Edition of the Continental GT by Wald takes the graceful lines of the Bentley and bolts on some attention. The edges of the body kit are rounded off with louvered styling elements. There is also a front bumper spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper spoiler, trunk spoiler and roof spoiler. Other parts offered are a suspension height reduction kit and D.T.M sports muffler exhaust system. Price tag for the body kit alone is 1,522,500 Yen (about $16,000).
Last week we saw the Lexus IS-F by Ventross and we liked it, but what about the new kit from the well-known Japanese tuner, Wald International?
The tuning house unveiled today its new body kit for the Japanese sports sedan consisting in a redesigned front bumper, a new set of side skirts, a carbon-fiber trunk lid and a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser. The kit also includes a new set of black wheels with high performance tires.
Already one of the fastest production cars on the streets, the Nissan GT-R (a.k.a. Godzilla) seems like the perfect car. Still there are many tuners that want to improve the car by offering a body kit for it. After Zele and Amuse, another major tuning company focused on the GT-R, Wald International. Known as one of the biggest Japanese tuners, Wald offered us a preview of their future body kit for the Nissan GT-R.
The new kit consists in a re-designed front bumper and a new custom-made nose cover, new aerodynamic side sills for better stability, expanded fenders on the rear, a new rear wing and a new rear air diffuser. Also a new set of 22” alloy wheels painted in black were added for better stability.
