We love everything Porsche from the early 930 911 right up to the current 992 chassis, which is why we are constantly adding new carbon aero and parts to our ever growing Porsche range, with our latest addition aimed at the 991 chassis, this is one we are super excited about.

We have been longing to add a swan neck RSR style wing to our range of Porsche parts for a while now and the 991 has been the first chassis we have developed the assembly for, the 991 is first up because of the huge demand for this model, so made sence to get this designed and into production, we will be offering the supports in various colour options as well as a carbon options at some point in the future.


The first Porsche hope to wear the all new swan neck will be our good friend Ben, owner of BPA Body shop in Launceston who is building a Porsche 991.2 road car, that will also see a huge amount of track time, this will be the first UK customer to try our new set up so we look forward to following the build journey, as this build will also be wearing our Carbon roof as well as our ducktail engine cover.


Now the 991 chassis is all done, we will now look at developing the swan neck for Porsche 997 chassis, we think it will be a great addition for our R13 street conversions as well as our up and coming 997 slant nose we are currently working on.


More pictures to follow once we get the product on to the BPA Porsche 991.2 street set up built and tearing up the the streets.

 
 

Under the lock down restrictions the UK has had since mid-March we have been busy with our composite partners bringing some new parts to our ever growing Porsche carbon fibre range and it doesn’t get any better than the GT3R R16 wide body, and we are now offering all of the parts for this conversion.

Basic R16 Aero Package

Front bumper, front splitter with full front floor, front bumper canards, front bumper grill, front fenders, fender vents, side sills, rear quarter panels, rear bumper with bumper grills, rear diffuser with strakes.

As with any Porsche package there is always an option on the rear engine cover and race wing, as some customer prefer a wingless 911 whilst other prefer the racer look for the road, so what do you get in the options package.


Options for the R16

Front R16 Evo vented front boot lid, rear engine cover with ducktail, rear wing assembly with includes end plates, gurney and huge wing supports, carbon doors, carbon roof, flat bottom under floor, gear box floor, carbon door mirrors, exhaust, suspension, magnesium wheels, we also have a street engine cover we are working on that will be a little different to the norm.

As with all our GT3 street conversions we have coilover suspension specifically for the R16 build, with the GT3RR F1 wheel design in either forged aluminium, or forged magnesium, in 11x19 front and 13 or 14x20 rear.

With 2020 being a bit of a right off with some of the plans we made, it’s actually helped us bring the R16 street closer to reality, with our own UK build happening at the end of the year with an American build also on the cards, it is certainly a build that we are looking forward to see come to fruition


Over the last few days we have been in conversation with Jon Olsson, chatting about various cars and builds and to say he is infectious is an understatement, he has got us looking into our next build more vigorously, and now we are looking at every detail of the build, in microscopic detail, what have you done to us Jon.

Our 991R project is still in the early stages, but it’s this stage we love, putting all the details together of the build, who we will work with on various components, who we will collaborate with, we already know lots of people that will assist us with the direction we wish to go on this one, as we have made plenty of mistakes in the past, we will not make those mistakes on this build.


We will be working with JRZ on the suspension side with this build, we should have worked with them on the 997 Turbo –R & BMW Z4 GT3 V8, but Bilstein were really good to us on those builds so it was a bit of a no brainer, and they are such an awesome company to work with, and they are local which was an added bonus, but with the 991R we will are really looking forward to working with the Porsche suspension gurus JRZ, when it comes to handling perfection these boys are the best.

 
 

The body work will be our usual raw carbon fibre; the colour is yet to be decided but yellow is a very strong contender at the moment, but knowing us that could change. Exhaust will be built by our good friend Craig at Dynotorque, wheels we have chosen will be super lightweight magnesium forged 3 piece from our partners GT3RR, design will be the F1M in sizes and widths 12X20F & 14x20R, wrapped in Michelin 295/35R20 & 345/30R20 front & rear respectively.


Staying on the subject of wheels, we managed to get a sneak peek on Jon Olsson’s Audi 1000 BHP RS6 before it’s official launch a few days back we were drawn to the wheel choice Jon made for this RS6 build and it looks radical, like nothing else on the market and we love that, Jon has always had a great eye for a wheel and this choice has inspired us, Brixton Forged did one hell of a job on the design and manufacture and although we have our own wheel design locked in, we also want to run with a different look from time to time which has made us revisit D-LNG, the Turbofan maestros.

We reached out to Steve the owner of D-LNG a couple of years back when our BMW Z4 GT3 V8 was in its early stages, but we had a change of direction on the build and felt they wouldn’t be the right look for the Z4 GT3 styling, but for the Porsche it’s the perfect look and as racing history has shown the Porsche brand wears them well, and with Steve now working on his all new Gen concave 3D printed designs, this build just has to have them, more updates will follow when the build starts, 2020 just seems to getting better month by month.
