We love to see a GT3 styled car hit the street, most of the time we only get to see these types of vehicles on the race track, as most people that know our brand and what we do a GT3 street car is the pinnacle and we have done a few now over the past few years with our Swedish Ferrar458 GT3 way back in 2014 where it all started for us, this post however is all about this rather special Porsche 997 GT3R R13 kitted that is LS7 powered, not only does it sound incredible from the videos we have seen online, but it has the looks to match with the iconic R13 GT3R wide body.

 

Unfortunately, we cannot stake any claim to this amazing build that’s comes the courtesy of Chavis performance, the LS7 looks right at home in the engine bay and although the Porsche Purist would disagree, but there is no sound like the V8, especially the L3 range, maybe we are a little bias as our Z4 GT3 has the same unit and we just happen to love it.

 

This particular build is missing a lot of the R13 parts like the front splitter, rear diffuser, the dual canards that sit either side of the front bumper, the front and rear bumper grills, whilst the bumper outtakes have also been filled in front and rear, it has a cup rear wing assembly rather than the R13 set up which isn’t as aggressive, but that’s personal choice as, we just happen to love the R13 rear wing set up, but we offer every parts for this build including carbon doors, roof ? flat bottom under floor.

We love the 18” BBS wheel set up on this build and they need to be rather wide for this conversion with 11 or 12” front wheels and 13” or 14” rear wheels in either 18” or 19” size with widths depending on the tyres selected, we have a couple of bespoke suspension set ups for this build too.

 
 

We have a real serious 997 R13 being put together for Joe “997Turbocab” on Instagram being built by Tony at True Performance and we also have an all-new Nissan GTR GT3build that we will be featuring on our blog over the next couple of weeks that we have been heavily involved with, the future is bright, as the future has is plenty of GT3 street builds on the horizon.

We love everything Porsche from the early 930 911 right up to the current 992 chassis, which is why we are constantly adding new carbon aero and parts to our ever growing Porsche range, with our latest addition aimed at the 991 chassis, this is one we are super excited about.

We have been longing to add a swan neck RSR style wing to our range of Porsche parts for a while now and the 991 has been the first chassis we have developed the assembly for, the 991 is first up because of the huge demand for this model, so made sence to get this designed and into production, we will be offering the supports in various colour options as well as a carbon options at some point in the future.


The first Porsche hope to wear the all new swan neck will be our good friend Ben, owner of BPA Body shop in Launceston who is building a Porsche 991.2 road car, that will also see a huge amount of track time, this will be the first UK customer to try our new set up so we look forward to following the build journey, as this build will also be wearing our Carbon roof as well as our ducktail engine cover.


Now the 991 chassis is all done, we will now look at developing the swan neck for Porsche 997 chassis, we think it will be a great addition for our R13 street conversions as well as our up and coming 997 slant nose we are currently working on.


More pictures to follow once we get the product on to the BPA Porsche 991.2 street set up built and tearing up the the streets.
