Toyota C-HR with Kuhl Racing styling kit previewed

Click to enlarge

Kuhl Racing has revealed its upcoming styling kit for the Toyota C-HR as an alternative to the in-house options from Toyota Racing Development and Modellista (galleries below). Based on the company’s previous work on the Prius, engraved goldmetal paint Godzilla and Mazda MX-5, we reckon this will be for those with an acquired taste.

As you can tell, the most obvious modification is the reduced ride height, with the crossover being slammed to the ground, accompanied by some negative camber on the wheels. New front and rear bumpers are also part of the kit, with the latter featuring a large diffuser element.

There’s also a rear half spoiler and new side skirts to further add to the visual impact of the modified C-HR, along with white accents in various areas. As “complete” as it may look, the company says that this project remains a work in progress, with additional development set to continue early next year. Interested?

    I fear for the future of this car. It’s starting to look like an Ah Beng SUV. That said… when is this beauty coming to Malaysia?

    Why is it that when some of our ‘young at heart racer type motorists’ modify their cars especially the rims/tyres (negative camber) the same way, everybody condemns them? But here we have one of the biggest brands in the world doing the same ….

      Yeah it is ugly but they make it because there is demand for this type of kit.

    Superb! With additional weight on the styling kits definitely this 1.2T 120ps CHR will give new definition to be a Modellista fashion show catwalk instead of Speedy Gonzales highway star.If u know what i mean.Like a beauty blonde without brain.A single slap would turn this to mentally ill.A super car for ah bengs alter ego with the price of Hollywood A listers.Bravo

    The Toyota C-HR is bigger in all dimensions except for height compared to the Honda HR-V. Hopefully UMW will bring in the 2 litre engine and not the 1.2 turbo which is under powered compared to the HR-V’s 1.5 na engine. No need to bring in the hybrids if they’re going to be very expensive. The C-HR is a welcome alternative to the HR-V which has become quite a common sight on our roads already.

    Probably if it comes to Malaysia, umw will use the Vios engine with 4 speed super ECT transmission and 2 airbags without VSC.

    Ha ha ha. A work in progress(WIP) project yielded 11 comments so far & it’s mostly negative.

    Looks like PT.org is doing a survey for C-HR 2 see if there is anything good/positive with the WIP Kuhl Racing styling kit.

    I guess it’s pretty obvious the commentators here are mostly mature adults & do not like Ah Beng wannabe.

    Despite all the negative feedback, this C-HR with Kuhl Racing styling kit will be found in many nook & corners of Japan. Looks like it’s made 4 the young & those young at heart.

    I guess the Gen-X, Gen-Y & millennials have different taste so car manufacturers make cars/SUVs/MPVs & tuning co “Tune” it for different classes of people. This is what Marketing is about.

    For practical reason, this Tuned C-HR will NOT be suitable for M’sian roads unless U want to “clean-up” the road while U drive.

    to be honest, in the name of automotive design, it actually looks ugly.
