Porsche 997 GT3R Bi Turbo

It's always good to have a home grown build especially when it's one that wears an aero kit of your own, to actively promote and have around you at your disposal Is so good to have, especially when the build in question is owned by one of your close friends Iby the owner of Speedwell Wheel Refinishers, personally I'm extremely pleased he took the bull by the horns and took on this epic build, as I know how anal he is when it comes to perfection and that's exactly what this 997 Turbo is... utter perfection.

As most of you know that follow the blog or our social media news, this 997 Turbo started life as the Dragon performance demo car, you can read all about that in an older blog as the car has come an awful long way since that stage in its life, the less said about that look the better, and the first 12 months of its life with Iby the 997 remained in its basalt black colour-way but I always knew it wouldn't stay that colour as a black 997 was never really on the shopping list to start with, but right car, right place and above all the right money the deal as we know was done, with a colour change at some point in the near future.

Now we loved the car in its black form, but it did hide a lot of the beautiful touches the R aero kit has and with the new colour you get to see those touches in all their stunning glory, as they just stand out, like the front fender vents, the rear bumper vents, and just how wide the car really is, it’s so wide, at roughly 7 feet and it just oozes road presence, I personally was pretty sceptical when Red was discussed with regards the potential colour change and I have to say he nailed it, because it really is stunning.

As with any build you get to collaborate and get involved with various companies, and although Iby did most of the work himself there are a few companies that need a mention with regards the input and help that has been fantastic, especially Taj and Perfection Midlands Limited who just so happens to reside next door to the Speedwells empire, he applied the first round of paint, giving the build its first lease of life

The boys at MSL Customs who have totally transformed the look of this R conversion, I must say the wrap is the best we have seen to date and I have personally been around a lot of wrapped cars, this one they smashed it out the parts as this is not an easy one to pull off, the beauty of this is it looks like paint, the finish is that good.

We would also like to thank Bilstein uk for not only supplying a first class set up for this Turbo, but also for the bespoke specification we so desperately needed for this conversion, which we now offer exclusively for the 997R conversion, along with the up and coming 991R.

Markski Tuning has also been an absolute legend with the tuning side on this Turbo, with his Intercoolers sitting either side of the R bumper and his ECU mapping skills makes for one seriously fast road car, with the best part of 700 HP now on tap, it certainly has the go to match all that show.

With the Build now complete and Iby content for the foreseeable it was time to take the car out for a little shoot, so we paid our friendly neighbourhood Spiderman a visit down in Digbeth Birmingham which is a great location for such an epic car.

It’s now time to enjoy the build and get to as many shows as we can this year and it will soon be joined by another GT3 road car with our very own BMW Z4 V8 coming to the end of its build and if you fancy building your very own 997R then get in touch with us, we will be more than happy to discuss your individual requirements.

Porsche 991.2 GT3R

The R programme for the Porsche is a pretty special race car, we have always preferred the look over the RSR look, it’s the more wider aggressive look and in 997 guise we didn't think it would get any better, that was until Porsche decided to hit us with the very latest 2019 spec R package for the 991 chassis and boy oh boy it’s pretty spectacular.

When the R was first released for the 991.1 it was nice but for us the 997 was still a better look, when the did the upgrade for the 991.2 in 2016 it really grabbed our attention, so much that we added the aero to our line-up, but we still preferred the older 991.2 R look, but with the all new release of the 2019 R package Porsche have just knocked it straight out the part … its quite phenomenal.

This R has taken on a completely different look to the older 991 generations, with a complete make over from front to rear, and we absolutely love the vents that adorn the top of the front fenders, as well as the rear quarter inlets and the rear bumper is just sublime, Porsche you have done it again and created yet another master piece.

In true wide body fashion, the conversion consists of the usual parts:

Front bumper, bumper canards, front floor with splitter, front fenders, side skirts, rear quarter panels, rear bumper, rear diffuser, rear ducktail engine cover and the optional rear wing assembly.

The Porsche 996 Makeover

We are huge Porsche fanatics at VAD, it’s a very special brand, if we had our way and the funds of course we would have every model across the range, modified to the maximum of course, like them or loathe them you can ignore the fact in racing form they produce some of the best looking cars on the planet, with what we have planned for the future with the 997R and the 991R is really exciting, especially with how well the Speedwells Turbo-R turned out in true road going form.

When Porsche launched the 996, they had a very mixed reaction, they obviously listened as when they launched the 997 it resembled the more successful 964 / 993 chassis than it did the 996, so for those customers that would like the more affordable 996 model but, but are but are put off over the way it looks, we have a makeover solution.

The main area of concern is the lights, so people go to the lengths of fitting the 997 front end, but our makeover incorporates the 997 front lights with a full wide body aero package, the GT2R EVO, and it’s a beauty,

The basics of the aero kit is a wider version of the RSR aero kit, it will fit all of the 996 chassis, Turbo or none turbo, standard or wide body, the only difference will be the rear flare, as the Turbo and GT2 models have the Turbo side vents there are two sets of flares available for turbo or none turbo models, the rest of the kit will be the same.

Kit consists of the following parts:

Front bumper, front splitter, front fenders, fender top vents, side skirts, rear flares, rear bumper.

Optional extras include:

Rear diffuser, rear ducktail engine cover, rear wing assembly, 2 Piece or 3 piece forged wheels, in sizes 11x18 front, 13x18 rear, 19” are also available on request in various designs and material, with a hybrid carbon and magnesium wheel being added to our Motorsport range of wheels, as well as super light weight 2 piece Magnesium wheels, for road or race applications.

Get in touch with us today for find out further details on this Porsche 996 upgrade. All parts are manufactured in carbon fibre or GRP is also available on request.
