n anticipation of the 7th Star Wars film coming out sometime next year, Vilner has created this special M6 Convertible inspired by the design of the Imperial Stormtrooper armor. The convertible is finished in triple pearl white, while interior, soft top and numerous accents throughout the car, like the hint of a running board on both sides. The brown grille outline is reminiscent of the visor on a Stormtrooper helmet, and is complemented by the matching brown front air splitter. The large handmade fender gills on either side are open and functional.
White is also extended into new areas. The rims of the light bulbs are painted white against a black base, as is the outer part of the wheel rims. The most noticeable feature of the interior is the white back on the front seats. The interior itself, including the dashboard, is finished in Alcantara and antique style nappa leather. The parallel pleating on the Alcantara is reminiscent of Darth Vader's suit.
The premiere of Star Wars 7 might be a year away, but you do not have to wait that long to lay your eyes on the latest Stormtrooper. Bulgarian studio - Vilner's latest project sports a sparkling white colour, which is undoubtedly reminiscent of the Imperial Army troops of Darth Vader. However, quite unlike Lord Vader's army, BMW Stormtrooper by Vilner is most definitely unique. The Stormtrooper is the studio's second big project; it debuted the BMW Bullshark - E63 coupe last year. The BMW Stormtrooper is basically the convertible version of Bullshark.
BMW Stormtrooper - a E64 M6 - uses a non-traditional white and brown colour combination; the exterior is white pearl, while its hood is brown. It gets 20-inch black wheels with a white stripe, which tends to remind one of the ion engines of the X-Wing fighters. The white and brown combination continues on the inside too.
However, the kidney in the pre-radiator grille, the lips under the front bumper, the doorsteps and "gills" in the front fenders are in brown mat. Like the Bullshark, the Stormtrooper also uses BMW emblems as side indicators.
As far performance is concerned, the BMW Stormtrooper E64 M6 will put out the same power as the car it is based on, i.e. 500bhp.
