The only thing better then getting 50 MPG from a Toyota Prius hybrid is tuning one. The Japanese aftermarket specialists at Wald International have made a name for themselves with their lineup of ultra aggressive Black Bison body kits for everything from the Nissan GT-R to the Toyota Land Cruiser. Another Toyota, a much smaller and much less thirsty, but equally as mean looking Prius has just joined the Black Bison ranks. Wald International has added a full front bumper with more sculpted lines, side vents, wide body fenders and the all important oversized driving lights. This is only the firs image of the modified hyper miler, so stay tuned for more details.
Just
yesterday we brought you the official details on the Japanese tuners
Wald International and their latest member of the Black Bison lineup, the
2010 Mercedes Benz E Class. The unique body kit manufacturer was well represented at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas with one such modified Mercedes as well as a
Black Bison Edition Nissan GT-R. The Black Bison kit is characterized by a large mouth front bumper complete with projector style driving lights underlined by a bold front lip and lots of carbon fiber. The fenders are always bulged out to accommodate additional rubber leading into bolder side skirts and finishing off with some aerodynamic aids out back. Although you may have never heard of the Japanese tuner before, once you see one in real life they are unforgettable.

Sometimes it takes the eye of a Japanese designer to turn a high end European luxury sedan into a memorable over the top tuner car, and that is exactly what Wald International did when they expanded their Black Bison line to include the all new Mercedes Benz E-Class. Like most of their Black Bison Edition creations, this modified Mercedes is a black on black work of automotive art and features bolder body lines and more slats than a super car can shake a stick at, giving the 2010 E-Class a very aggressive look.
The entire package is made up of a new front bumper with a protruding lower lip, four large projector style driving lights and vents on either side. The front fenders stick out wider than the factory pieces and add more air extracting cutouts to the new E with a set of vents that run almost the entire vertical length of fender. Tying the front of the car the rear are a pair of bold side skirts, that lead to a new rear apron complete with integrated diffuser and cutouts for the sport tuned quad tipped exhaust. Finishing off the Black Bison body kit are a pair of spoilers, one mounted at the trailing edge of the roof and the other on the deck lid. Rounding out Wald’s take on the new E-Class are a set of their signature MAHORA rims mounted at all four corners.

Sometimes there is just nothing nicer than a black on black truck that just looks mean, that is exactly what the Black Bison treatment will do to any SUV. If until now when you heard the words Wald International you only thought of luxury brands like Lexus, Infiniti or Mercedes Benz, then think again. Wald’s Black Bison Land Cruiser is the first Toyota to be tuned by the Japanese company.
The Land Cruiser is completely transformed into a menacing beast. Everything from the vents in the front fenders to the rear wing make the Black Bison look like an SUV that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. The aero kit consists of a new front bumper with signature integrated fog lamps, bold side skirts, a rear apron with integrated diffuser, the roof mounted wing and new quad-exhaust system. Not to mention the Mahora M11C 20 inch wheels that complete the murdered out look of the black on black beast.
Even though Wald made no modifications to the powertrain, the Toyota’s 5.6 Liter V8 when heard through the new high performance exhasut, is more than enough to match the agressive exterior of the Landcruiser Black Bison, not bad for the company’s first attempt at tuning a Toyota.

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.
Wald International, the Japanese tuner specializing in high-end cars unveiled another masterpiece: the BMW E90 3-Series Sports Line. The new package includes a new front bumper with integrated fog lights featuring Angel Eye technology from BMW, new side sills with integrated air vents at the end, a rear trunk spoiler and a redesigned rear bumper featuring an air diffuser with integrated 4-pipe exhaust system. Price of the kit, $9,880 plus tax.
Unfortunately the engine remained the same, but if you want to add power to your BMW, you can choose Hamann or AC Schnitzer.
