Irmscher Automobilbau GmbH & Co. KG is a German automobile tuning and manufacturing [1][2] company specialising in Opel (and Vauxhall, both belonging to General Motors) and recently Peugeot cars. It was founded in 1968 in a double garage in the Swabian town of Winnenden near Waiblingen ,Germany by Rally driver and mechanic Günther Irmscher, Sr.
Irmscher has retained close links to the Opel company by operating the factory team for Opel in many European automobile competitions, including the Ascona B i400 rally car and the Omega raced in the discontinued V8Star competition in Germany. However, in the UK the Vauxhall teams are run by Triple 8.
This has led them to design and manufacture parts for Daewoo/Chevrolet [3][4] models, the Cadillac CTS [5] and wheels for the GM based SAAB [6] models, although these are much rarer than the Opel and Vauxhall parts. Their distinctive customised parts include alloy wheels, bodykits and exhausts as well as various interior fittings.
