Press Release

A complete Tuning-Program for the Astra GTC celebrated its premiere at the Tuning World Bodensee event. The carefully selected design program elevates the already sporty Astra GTC to a higher level of prestige and contributes to LUMMA Tuning as a genuine eye catcher. Large air inlet openings in the front spoiler bumper (449, - EURO) ensure sufficient breathing with increased air flow for uprated engines. A minimalist front grill (138, - EURO) without emblem is just as powerful in appearance as the "angry look" of the headlight eye-brow moldings (49.90 EURO). For the profile view of the Astra GTC, LUMMA Design sport mirrors (449, - EURO) in addition to twisting side skirts (274, - EURO) give a muscular yet stylish appearance. For the rear end LUMMA Design developed a completely new rear bumper fascia (429, - EURO) with an integrated diffuser and openings with mesh grilles are provided. A new rear roof edge spoiler (179, - EURO) ensures increased down force at higher speeds, however the tail lamp moldings (39.90 EURO) are purely for cosmetics only.

The dual exhaust system (687,- EURO) is made entirely of high-grade steel and is provided with 4 LUMMA Design exhaust tips for a sporty sound which is just as impressive as the performance increase. In regards to performance, besides the exhaust system an additional LUMMA D-box (649,- EURO) was installed, thus the performance is raised from 147KW (200PS) to 162KW (220PS) and torque value increased from 262Nm to 288Nm. With the selection of an adjustable sport lowering suspension consisting of KW coilovers (179,- EURO) the combination of increased handling and stability without sacrificing comfort is achieved.

Regarding wheels, LUMMA offers several variants, the sport rims on this GTC/R or the three-piece "Supersport Racing", size 9x19 in front and back. With suitable high speed rated tires fitted, namely the KUMHO 225/35 19, the entire wheel set cost approximately 4.053,- EURO.
