This year will see one of our dreams come to fruition, that dream was seeing our wide body Porsche GT3R for the 997 chassis as a road going conversion on UK roads, we have seen a few road creations come to life around the world from aero kits we have supplied, but there is nothing like a home grown build and collaboration with our friend Iby from speedwells has seen that dream come to life, seeing the build stage by stage has been exciting, but being based on the Turbo model it was always going to be a bit of a challenge, but huge credit to Iby as he has been very methodical in his thinking for this build, with some lovely touches, which is what a build like this needs.

Supplying our aero parts around the world we get to meet and link up with like-minded people through our social media network and that’s just what happened with Joe AKA #997turbocab, to say Joe is a Porsche fan is a little bit of an understatement, check out his Instagram, our personal Favorite is his 997.2 GT3 4.0LTR build by the BBI team, and now he has commissioned them to build his latest Porsche, The 991 GT3R in road going form, and yes you read that correct, Joe has ordered and had delivered every carbon fibre “R” panel for his street going 991 GT3 and boy oh boy are we excited to see this one come together.

We don’t think BBI need any introduction, they are known throughout the world building some pretty special Porsche's, and this build I'm sure will be up there as one of the best, what we do know is this is the first of its kind globally, and Joe will be using on the road as much as he can, in his own words, this is going to be his grocery getter, its one build we are really exciting thinking about, we think BBI Autosport are going to break the Internet with this one.

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.

Porsche 997 GT3R Twin Turbo

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.
