Irmscher Automobilbau GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is a Germany automobile Car tuning and Manufacturing [1][2] company specialising in Opel (and Vauxhall Motors, both belonging to General Motors Corporation) cars. It was founded in 1968 in a double garage in the Swabia town of Winnenden near Waiblingen in Rems-Murr-Kreis by Rallying driver and motor mechanic Günther Irmscher Sr.

Irmscher has retained close links to the Opel company by operating the works teams for Opel in many European automobile competitions, including the Opel Ascona and the Opel 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 create parts for GM Daewoo [3][4] models, the Cadillac CTS [5] and wheels for the General Motors Corporation based Saab Automobile [6] models, although these are much rarer than the Opel and Vauxhall parts. Their distinctive customised parts include Alloy wheels, Body kit and Internal combustion engine as well as various interior fittings.
