Chevrolet Cruze Irmscher Edition
Despite the loud name, there is not much tuning here: 18-inch wheels and springs, which reduce ground clearance by 25 mm. Both are the developments of the German tuning company Irmscher. Plus, the wheels are equipped with Michelin high-speed tires of dimension 225/45 ZR18. The rest is a completely ordinary Chevrolet Cruze LT.

A car drives like every other Cruze - without sports excitement. And where does he come from in a car where a 1.8-liter engine of 141 power is combined with an automatic transmission? And yet, because of the low landing and large fashion wheels from a car, you are waiting for a more lively character. Only suspension, which makes you closely monitor road irregularities, but also allows you to pass all the turns faster than usual, brings some kind of interest in riding. The reaction of others is curious. Cruze, in principle, is not one of the cars that attract special attention. But this one still gets favorable views. The only thing that’s bad is that having bought such wheels, you’ll have to go broke into a set of “secrets”. After all, the cost of a set with tires in Germany is 1585 euros. We, taking into account the delivery, are more expensive. Sorry to lose.

It remains only to regret that Russian buyers have not been offered other Irmscher options for the Chevrolet Cruze. Decorative details are nothing, speed, as they say, is not affected, but a tuned exhaust system and a modified engine control program would be useful. Although one and the other can be purchased independently, if not offensive to lose the warranty.
What is Irmscher
Irmscher Automobilbau GmbH & Co. KG is a German company, founded in 1968 by an athlete Gunther Irscher. Initially specialized in Opel. Over time, the company opened representative offices in many countries of the world; it absorbed several local tuning firms. In Europe, on the Cruze Irmscher, in addition to 18-inch Turbo Star rims, wide tires and lowered suspension, it offers a tailgate with an integrated brake light, aluminum door sill and pedal trim, decorative door buttons, a modified intake system and chip tuning. According to the company, the 2-liter turbodiesel engine (also of the European version) develops 186 hp after completion. and 466 Nm, which allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in 8 seconds! Our Cruze did not even dream of such abilities. And in 2009, the company created a show car based on Cruze, designed in the style of the hero of Transformers Bumblebee.

In my opinion…

For me, car tuning is almost the same as individualization. If you do not engage in literary studies, even a sticker on the body can be called tuning. In the case of the Chevrolet Cruze Irmscher Edition, we can say that tuning in the car is not enough, but it is still present. And by the way, some start serious modifications with just these two points, replacing the wheels and suspension become the first steps on a long way. And some stop there. To whom - what.
