Huge congratulations to our good friend Todd and his team from Speed Concepts who took second place overall in this year’s one lap of America, in there awesome Porsche 997 GT3R TT.

We have been following Todd and his updates and been in regular contact over the year to find out how the upgrades were progressing from last year to this, and it seems with what they have installed in the way of updates did them proud, with a little bit of help along the way from the likes of BBI, Cobb Tuning, it’s been a real pleasure to follow the updates and track the build progress over the last few months.

Full spec of this beauty is as follows:

The car started life as a Porsche Turbo S, and now wears a full carbon fibre GT3R aero kit, including all the nice little extras like the flat underbody floor from front to rear.

The engine is running stock internals and putting down 600+ wheel HP on a 93 octane tune. This Turbo is running 30/82 turbos, meth injection, air-to-water intercoolers, Speed Concept headers, Dodson clutches and IPD Plenum and custom IPD/SC Y-Pipe. The power is put to the ground through 13” Forgeline wheels with 345/30R19 tyres at the business end, with 12” wheels wearing 325/30R19 up the front. The suspension features ERP and BBI components, 997 RSR uprights, Tarret front sway bar and SC rear sway bar, as you can see its full loaded and no stone has been left unturned in its search for reliable performance, whilst being completely road legal.

Our 997 carbon aero programme has really taken off over the last few months, after perfecting the fitment for road application, We are eagerly waiting for our South African Tuning partners to release their 700+ bhp GT3R track beast to the world, as well as a road build happening at Sleepers Speed Shop in California on a Porsche Turbo model, plus we will be assisting our good friends at Speedwells build their very own R 997 Porsche for the UK market over the next few months, watch this space as we launch these builds to the global market.

Email the VAD team for more details on the 997 Carbon Fibre Aero upgrades.

It’s been the weekend of the Osaka Auto Messe in Japan, and the old & new crew have display yet another show stopper, built by AP Garage in Japan and what an amazing Job they have done, its come out looking amazing, it really is a beauty.

This time they have built the slant nose for the 996 model in turbo form, and this is the Version 1 of the aero pack that will keep the rear Turbo bumper and a race style GT rear wing set up, we think this version will be a very popular one, as its more of a take on the over fender, slant nose look of the older generation Porsche 930 models, and we know some Porsche fans will be thinking, great as it gets rid of the 996 front headlights, they are like marmite, you either like that front end look of the 996 or loathe it, to be honest we like the OEM 996 front, but we very much prefer this slant nose look, who wouldnt.

The colour and wheel choice is also a different take from the last 997 build, and this is very much reminiscent of the old turbo fan style and for us this is the best wheel choice so far, in fact its giving us some ideas for our own slant nose build.

Contact the sales team for more details on this slant nose build for your 996 or your 997 Porsche, as we now have both conversions available for Turbo or non turbo models, as a fully build conversion or as a supply only.

Our trip to Tokyo Auto Salon 2017 has been a huge success, and we are happy to have found some new friends to work with along with some fantastic products.

The first product that we would like to showcase is the aero kit for the 997 from the company Old & New based in Hiroshima Japan, if you don’t know about their stunning slant nose conversion for the Porsche 997, then you have been living under a rock, the car was launched over at the SEMA show at the end of 2016 and went down an absolute storm, and seeing it up close and personal for the very first time, we can see why.

The car was on display at the spectra chrome booth, and when we eventually got to see the car, we analysed every inch in detail and we can confirm ...it’s a beauty, I will admit that there are a few things we would like to add, and a bit we would like to modify, but when someone has made a design and wants to work with you, you can’t really start making changes, so the car we will build this year will be the official aero kit, with no changes or additions, apart from our own wheel choice, as that’s one area we feel needs a Old-New design, so we are now working on our own wheel design to run specifically with this conversion.

The owner Shuichi Nakagawa is a passionate and infectious person to be around, when he heard us introduce ourselves, he pulled out his phone and showed us our own Porsche 997 GT3R aero, certainly a man with his finger on the pulse, he said he loved what we do, so a collaboration from the moment we met was inevitable.

The aero kit comprises of the following parts, and they leave nothing out for this 935 inspired slate nose conversion.

OLD & NEW Japan Slant Nose Porsche 997

Front Bumper, Front Lip Spoiler, Front Vented Wider Fenders, Side Skirts, Rear Over Fenders, Rear Bumper, Rear Engine cover with Rear Wing, Fuel Filler Cap, Driving light Covers, Front Lights, DRLS Lights, Cup Style Door Mirrors, with an exhaust system to follow.
