Irmscher has three different levels of body modifications available for the car, the first of which includes a honeycomb grill, front and roof spoilers. Go up one grade to also get side sills, or go all-out and get Irmscher's 18-inch light alloys. The interior can be kitted out with an aluminum center console, a chrome steering wheel, leather upholstery and trim.
Any of the four engines can be converted to LPG at a cost of €2,695. The company claims the conversion will pay for itself in fuel savings. Unless of course you spend all of your time driving around looking for a LPG filling station.
