Kremer Racing K3R

Lots of excitement around the launch of Porsche incredible 935 that has been launched in homage to the 935/78 Moby Dick, and why not it’s a master piece, based on the incredible 991 GT2-RS chassis with 700hp at a cost of £750k with 77 pieces set to be produced, Porsche with yet another masterpiece for its 70th anniversary, but whilst everyone is drawn to the all-new 935, its made us appreciate the original homage to the amazing Porsche 935 ... the awe-inspiring Kremer Racing K3R.

We have covered this particular Kremer creation before back in January when we went to visit them in Germany, but we feel this car is worthy of a revisit, because as we have seen it in person we can confirm, it’s a complete master piece.

It was the brain child of Eberhard A. Baunach, owner of the modern day Kremer racing, he approached Holger Zimmerman of Zimspeed to create the modern day K3 based on the 997 chassis, Holger’s father Ekkehard Zimmermann owns DP Motorsport and pretty much built every original Kremer Racing 935 K3 body work and beat Porsche at their own game, so the history behind the build is pretty legendary, and to say that Holger created a master piece is such understated comment, up close and personal the car is just incredible, and considering they based this on the 997, the similarity to the older 930 cars is a testament to what he has created, seeing them both side by side you can see his creation is pretty spot on, considering it’s not only a different chassis but a different era.

There are 2 base models at the moment, a track car and a road car, with a further 997 Turbo about to join the line-up and this is the one that we feel will launch the model right into the public eye. Big power and small modifications to allow a not only a wider wheel, but also a much larger tyre set up, as well as all the modification to help the air feed the rear inter coolers, its one car that we have seen take shape, but have been unable to discuss, but that’s all about to change.

It one car that we feel we just have to build for the UK market, we already have the theme we want to build it around, its just a case of clearing the decks and being given the Kremer green light.

New products and projects

We have been a little busy lately and have so many new products to discuss, t’s difficult to know where to start. With our amazing Z4 GT3 V8 now residing at our composite partners BAMD, this freed up our personal work load, as this is the company demo car that is being built to showcase what our collaboration brand Aspect GT can do, it’s a project that has not only take huge sums of money, but also a lot of our time. It still has a fair way to go, but it couldn't be in better hands than Adam the owner of BAMD Composites, he has a plan and will execute that plan to perfection, so that now allowed us to look after our new range of Forged wheels that we are happy to say I will be producing in Europe. We have decided to move production for a number or reasons, the first being we have been extremely loyal to a lot of the American brands over the last 10 or 15 years and unfortunately it’s not reciprocated, all we will say is unfortunately volume and turn over mean very little. We also want proper tested wheels with JAL, JWL, VIA & TUV certification, this is something American manufacturers can’t don’t or won’t offer, just having the product FET tested is no longer acceptable, we have lots of designs in all forged profiles and configurations, in all sizes, finishes and applications we will cover our new wheel line in a separate blog post at a later date.

Porsche 997 Bi Turbo "R" completed at Sleepers Speed Shop

One build we do want to discuss is our 997 “R” As one of our Porsche 997 Turbo “R” projects comes to a finish in California by our friends at Sleepers Speed Shop, our next bit of Porsche excitement is working with our good friend Speedwells. We have known Iby for such a long time, he is very much part of the VAD family, so we are pleased he has decided to build his dream car in the form of the Porsche 997 Turbo and fit the VAD GT3R aero pack, his 800 bhp wide body Supra known all over the world, so we can only imagine this Porsche build it going to be a pretty spectacular build, I just can’t wait to spec and build his next set of wheels for this up and coming build, it’s going to be a very exciting build to be involved with.

Keeping on the Porsche theme, we have finally manage to source one of our favorite ever Porsche products, the Kremer 935 K3 conversion and we are super stoked, it’s a huge conversion and a must for any 930 or 964 owner looking for something a little different, it’s the pinnacle conversion and the parts list is vast., and one conversion we would love to see on the UK roads.

Kremer 935 K3 can be based on 930 or 964 Porsche Chassis click the link to view the K3 , this is one very special conversion, one we would love to see on the street.
