One thing we love about what we do is meeting various people within our industry, from owners to enthusiasts, Videographers to Photographers, so it always good to me a fellow Porsche enthusiast as well as a talented Photographer, Lucas Dulski.

Porsche 997 Turbo-R

The Speedwells Porsche 997 Turbo-R

Lucas got in touch with us as he desperately wanted to see the Speedwells 997 Turbo-R up close and personal, but he wanted to shoot the Turbo-R too, and after taking a delve into his past work, we would have been silly not to let him indulge in his passion of taking photos of all things Porsche.

After organising and deciding on a date to suit all parties, Lucas took the drive down from Chester for his preferred night shoot and it’s a shoot we also wanted to try as the Turbo looks so sinister with its murdered out black look, which is about to change in the coming weeks, so we were intrigued to see how this shoot would turn out and it didn't disappoint, Lucas certain has skills behind the lens, with a meticulous attention to detail.

We had a very long but enjoyable evening shooting the Speedwells Turbo-R, starting in the heart of Solihull in Birmingham getting pictures as dusk fell, then driving around finding other cool locations to shoot the car, my personal favourite was a car park next to Touchwood shopping centre, it was such cool location as night time fell.

For anyone looking for a great photographer we can highly recommend Lucas, he knows exactly how a car should be pictured, all you have to do it bring your vehicle of choice and let him do what he does best which is getting creative, but don't take our word for it, check out his work on Facebook & Instagram pages. Until next time Lucas.

 

It is always good to finish a build stand back and admire what has been put together, albeit pictures or videos just do not do this build any justice, its definitely a car that need to be seen, following this beauty a few days ago made all the hairs of the back of my neck stand on end, such an incredible sight, the width of this beauty in the flesh is awe-inspiring.

The final piece of the puzzle is being manufactured by our wheel partner Lite Speed racing, the VAD CR-Evo is making way for a set of RS5 centres that will sit inside the the 10" and 14" barrels that currently sit on the car, but will be finish in a new colour to lift some of the black out of the build.

The car will be on display though out the year at certain shows, and it really is worth seeing the car in personal to appreciate the quality of the build.

Bilstien have partnered on the build, so the first show for the car is Players Classic at Goodwood Circuit the end of this month, then its on to fitted UK.

Its only been finished a few weeks back and already the features are coming in thick and fast, and is great to see our friends over at Tony & Carmen from Superfly-Autos jump on this car and add their usual spice of lovely pictures, and of course great reading.

The car pictures up wonderfully and the livery is stunning, there isn't many slant nose Porsche 997 in the world at the moment, but what we can say is this has to be up there as one of the best so far, its so difficult to stand out within the car scene, but the guys at Reflex Auto Design have not only managed to pull it off, but pull it off in style.
