Porsche 997 GT3R Build

So we kick off our 2017 year in style with our tuning partners in South Africa Scribante Racing and their awesome Porsche 997 Turbo GT3R Build for the new race season, and boy oh boy these guys are not messing about, this is one serious 997 build, let’s hope they have some competition with the other teams that will line up next to these guys on the grid for the national supercar series, it’s going to be a pretty epic race season, and one we can't wait to follow and report on.

So with the first week of January well under way the aero pack had finally landed in Johannesburg, and the boys wasted zero time getting the kit in place ready for prepping and installation, even the roof has come in for some light weight carbon, with the lightweight carbon doors and polycarbonate windows still in manufacturing process, as they leave no stone unturned in the search of a lightweight race car, with speed to match.

The engine is from the Turbo S model, that has had some serious modification, as well as the race gearbox, with the suspension, upright and hubs coming straight off a Cup race car, with AP brakes supplying the stoppers & discs, just looking at all of the parts being thrown at this build is making our mouth water.

The wheel choice come from our long term wheel partner AG Wheels, as we work hand in hand with them. Scribante wanted was a multispoke wheel, a design similar to the old lemans style Porsche race wheels, so the 10 spoke race look F120 was the design of choice, with centre lock configuration, in 12x18 front and 13x18 rear that will be shod with 18” race slicks 30/65R18 front and 31/70R18 Rear.

The body work consists of a lot of part, with all the standard parts:

Front Bumper, Front splitter, front canards, front vented fenders, side skirts, rear quarter panels, rear bumper, rear diffuser.

They also wanted the full optional extras, to reduce as much weight as possible, whilst adding as much down force to the car as possible.

Compete flat under floor panels, front and rear arch liners, roof section, rear engine cover, rear wing with supports and end plates, 12x18 & 13x18 centre locks wheels.

We will bring you more on the build as it takes shape over the next few weeks, as we get ready to start the process for a full road going version that will be prowling the streets of California, from track car to street car.

Porsche 993 GT2R Evo

We are Porsche fanatics at VAD, it doesn’t matter which one as we love them all, but if we had to pick one or two as stand our personal favs, then the 997 is up there, especially when wrapped in our GT3R aero kit, with the 993 model our other personal fav, the last of the air cooled beauties, the looks and the sound are both priceless, and it’s that model in particular we want to discuss.

There is no question that one of the largest Porsche aero kings is RWB, we should know as we built one, if you know your Porsche heritage you will know the inspiration came from the GT2R race cars, you only have to look at colourful creation of DMV 993 Porsche, driven by Jurgen Schlager to see the similarities, but Nakai-san has enhanced the look even further, which has now become his signature.

We personally love the car that started our love affair with the 993, and that is the GT2R Evolution, it really is an unbelievable looking car, from any viewing point its drop dead gorgeous, and the width is incredible, and we are pleased to be able to offer this aero pack, to all 993 owners, so what do you get in the conversion kit

Next up on the list for the Porsche 911, is for the 996 model, this aero upgrade is basically the RSR conversion for the GT2 or Turbo model, as they are the models that have the side air vents that feed cool air in to the intercoolers that sit either side of the rear bumper, this aero upgrade is classed as the GT2R and it makes the 996 look super sexy, especially with the 997 front headlight upgrade, which lets face it, the 996 front lights are like marmite, its a like or loathe affair, personally we like them, but we are an avid porsche fan, so we love them all, this particular conversion needs 11 or 12" front wheels, with a 13 or 13.5" rear wheel in size 18" or 19" with 3 piece construction the better option for this particular conversion, unless you do what this Rennlist member has done, and fit the Monoblock front wheel, with a 3 piece rear wheel in the same design, that set up can work really well, but a lot depends on the design and finish.
