Since its inception in 2016, iMP Performance has redefined automotive aesthetics through its fusion of Gothic-inspired design philosophy and technical innovation. The brand's latest offerings – the Audi RS7 C8 NWB (Non-Wide Carbon Fiber Body Kits) and WBK (Wide Carbon Fiber Body Kits) – represent a paradigm shift in aftermarket customization for Audi RS models. Let's dissect these engineering marvels that blend form and function with artistic audacity.
I. The NWB (Non-Wide Carbon Fiber Body Kits): Subtle Aggression Perfected
For Purists Who Speak in Carbon Whispers
The NWB kit embodies iMP's "Art On Rolls" ethos – a tribute to Memphis Slim's jazz improvisation translated into automotive contours. This non-wide body solution caters to drivers seeking enhanced aerodynamics without overt visual drama.
Core Components & Technical Highlights:
Partial Carbon Fiber Hood with Glass Insert
Showcase Feature: A revolutionary glass panel (developed by FY03-Fuyao) exposes the RS7's engine bay like a mechanical diorama.
Technical Specs:
4th-gen explosion-resistant laminated glass (1.2x industry-standard impact resistance)
UV-coated anti-glare surface maintains 92% light transmission
Weight reduction: 11.3kg vs OEM steel hood
Partial Carbon Fiber Front Bumper: Redesigned air intakes increase cooling efficiency by 18% while maintaining 80% OEM silhouette。
Partial Carbon Fiber Front Fenders: T700 carbon fiber weave with 3K twill pattern. Integrated vortex generators reduce front axle lift by 23%
Carbon Fiber Side Skirts Underboard:
650mm length with 22° upward taper
Reduces side turbulence by 41% at 160km/h
Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser:
5-stage adjustable vertical fins (±15mm range)
Creates 12kg downforce at 200km/h
Carbon Fiber GT Wing:
Aircraft-grade aluminum brackets (7075-T6 alloy)
Dual-plane carbon fiber blade (1,500mm span)
3D-printed titanium mounting hardware
II. WBK Kit(Wide Body Kit): The Widened Canvas of Performance
For Those Who Dare to Dominate the Road
Building upon NWB's foundation, the WBK kit adds 87mm per side track width through Over Fender Flares – a transformation requiring precise engineering to maintain aerodynamic balance
.

Reduces drag coefficient by 0.04 in highway cruising
Track-Optimized Rear Assembly
Ventilated rear quarter panels:
28 louvered vents (0.5mm laser-cut precision)
Lowers rear cabin temperature by 14°C during track use
III. The Design Philosophy: Where Engineering Becomes Art
A) Gothic Inspiration:
The kits' layered carbon fiber elements mirror the flying buttresses of Notre-Dame Cathedral – angular yet flowing, combining structural rigidity with visual lightness. iMP PERFORMANCE lead designer Mostafa Moazeni explains:
"We translated Gothic verticality into the diffuser's fins and hood contours – every line serves both aerodynamic and symbolic purposes."
B) Material Innovation:
Carbon Fiber Treatment:
Proprietary resin matrix (60% epoxy/40% thermoplastic)
Enables 135°C heat resistance for track environments
Glass Technology:
Fuyao's nano-ceramic interlayer prevents optical distortion
