In an era dominated by mass production, true distinction in the high-performance automotive sector requires a radical return to artisan craftsmanship backed by advanced industrial engineering. Factory specifications—regardless of performance tier—are engineered to satisfy broad global regulations. For the discerning individual, the vehicle is an extension of personal identity, demanding a level of visual presence, weight optimization, and tactile perfection that standard production lines simply cannot deliver.
Kubay Design stands as a premier European manufacturer specializing in high-end vehicle restyling, OEM+ dry carbon fiber composite engineering, and heavy mechanical chassis conversions. From the aggressive lines of modern supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche) to executive saloons (BMW M, Rolls-Royce, Maserati) and heavy luxury platforms (Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Maybach), our workshop transforms world-class automobiles into peerless automotive statements.
Technical Excellence Across Four Core Pillars
Our engineering philosophy bridges raw motorsport dynamics with refined aesthetic harmony. Every component that bears the Kubay Design crest undergoes a meticulous development lifecycle inside our European facilities.
1. Autoclave-Cured Dry Carbon Fiber (Pre-Preg Composite Engineering)
Unlike commercial "wet" carbon fiber that relies on heavy resin coats prone to UV degradation, yellowing, and heat warping, Kubay Design utilizes exclusively pre-impregnated (pre-preg) dry carbon fiber:
- Thermal Autoclave Curing: Cured under high heat and vacuum pressure to extract excess resin, achieving an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, structural elasticity, and crisp weave alignment.
- Aerodynamic Dynamic Optimization: Vented bonnet assemblies, aggressive front splitters, extended side skirt blades, and functional rear diffusers designed to streamline underbody airflow and increase high-speed downforce.
- UV-Impermeable Clear Coating: Finished with premium automotive-grade clear coats (gloss or satin matte) engineered to withstand extreme climates and track temperatures.
2. Heavy Chassis Modifications: Mercedes-Benz G-Class 6x6 & 4x4² Conversions
Our reputation as master builders is anchored by our ambitious structural conversions for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W463 and W463A chassis):
- Structural Frame Engineering: Laser-cut high-tensile steel frame extensions and cross-member reinforcements engineered to handle heavy torque loads and demanding off-road conditions.
- True Three-Axle Drivetrain Integration: Complete 6x6 conversions utilizing pass-through middle differentials that retain full functionality of all three factory locking diffs.
- Portal Axle Systems & Armor: Heavy-duty portal axle assemblies delivering exceptional ground clearance, complemented by custom marine-grade teak wood bed finishing and dry carbon widebody wheel arches.
3. Anatomical Sport Steering Wheels & Cockpit Architecture
The steering wheel is the primary interface between driver and machine. We re-imagine the vehicle cockpit through bespoke hand-crafted tactile upgrades:
- Re-Engineered Ergonomics: D-shape flat-bottom and flat-top frame profiles with aggressive thumb contours designed to improve track feedback and legroom.
- Tactile Material Selection: Upholstered in match-to-sample Italian Nappa leather, perforated hide, or race-spec Alcantara with custom hand-stitched contrast threading.
- Integrated Race Technology: Genuine dry carbon wheel rims, extended carbon paddle shifters, and optional digital telemetry LED shift-light modules.
4. Precision 6061-T6 Forged Wheel Systems
Unsprung rotational weight directly impacts suspension dynamics, turn-in response, and braking distance. Our custom forged wheel program includes:
- Monoblock & Multi-Piece (3-Piece) Engineering: CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum to handle extreme torque loads.
- Custom Stance & Fitment: Application-specific offsets and bolt patterns engineered to sit flush with factory bodywork or extended widebody packages (R20 to R24 configurations).
The OEM+ Fitment Guarantee: 3D Scanning and Quality Assurance
A primary concern when modifying exotic vehicles is maintaining non-destructive structural integrity.
- Digital CAD Mapping: Every new component begins with a high-resolution 3D laser scan of the OEM chassis to map factory mounting points, sensor locations, and air intake passages.
- Reversible Installation: Styling kits and carbon parts are engineered to fit directly onto factory attachment points, allowing seamless, non-destructive integration.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Every component undergoes multi-stage structural inspections and fitment checks prior to crate packaging.
- Insured Global Transport: Orders are packed in custom wooden crates and delivered worldwide via insured express logistics partners (DHL/UPS).
