Porsche Cayman widebody

Our range of Porsche aero seems to be growing at an alarming rate, were not complaining though as we are huge fans of the Stuttgart brand here at VAD, but there has always been one model that has never been on our radar, we seem to have neglected the beauty that is the Cayman, well that is until now.

There doesn't seem to be a lot on the market for the 981 chassis, especially in wide body format, you have the odd over fender aero kit, but that design is getting a little tiresome, we wanted a racing style wide body, something that would look at home on the track as it would the road, an RSR, GT3R, Cup look and working with our composite partners that’s what we got, not on form, but function too.

The kit is available in carbon fibre, but wanting to appeal to as many Cayman owners as possible, we also have a GRP option, so we cater for all budgets as not everyone has the carbon fibre funds, as prepreg vacuum infused carbon that’s autoclave cured isn't a cheap process, so parts always have a premium price, so it’s nice to give Cayman owners a price choice.

The aero kit is quite extensive and we will have a basic package, with an extensive optional extras list.

Basic aero pack will consist of: Front Bumper, front bumper canards, front bumper grill set, rear fender extensions, vented side rocker, rear quarter panel, rear bumper, rear diffuser.

Optional extras: light weight carbon doors, GT style wing assembly, front and rear carbon Kevlar arch liners, full scratch coated polycarbonate race window set.

We also have a great selection of wheels available in 1, 2 or 3 piece depending on budget, as we will have forged aluminium as well as forged magnesium, with carbon fibre wheels also available on request, with road and track programmes will be available for this build, suspension and exhaust systems will also be available on request for this conversion.

Porsche 997 GT3R Build

So we kick off our 2017 year in style with our tuning partners in South Africa Scribante Racing and their awesome Porsche 997 Turbo GT3R Build for the new race season, and boy oh boy these guys are not messing about, this is one serious 997 build, let’s hope they have some competition with the other teams that will line up next to these guys on the grid for the national supercar series, it’s going to be a pretty epic race season, and one we can't wait to follow and report on.

So with the first week of January well under way the aero pack had finally landed in Johannesburg, and the boys wasted zero time getting the kit in place ready for prepping and installation, even the roof has come in for some light weight carbon, with the lightweight carbon doors and polycarbonate windows still in manufacturing process, as they leave no stone unturned in the search of a lightweight race car, with speed to match.

The engine is from the Turbo S model, that has had some serious modification, as well as the race gearbox, with the suspension, upright and hubs coming straight off a Cup race car, with AP brakes supplying the stoppers & discs, just looking at all of the parts being thrown at this build is making our mouth water.

The wheel choice come from our long term wheel partner AG Wheels, as we work hand in hand with them. Scribante wanted was a multispoke wheel, a design similar to the old lemans style Porsche race wheels, so the 10 spoke race look F120 was the design of choice, with centre lock configuration, in 12x18 front and 13x18 rear that will be shod with 18” race slicks 30/65R18 front and 31/70R18 Rear.

The body work consists of a lot of part, with all the standard parts:

Front Bumper, Front splitter, front canards, front vented fenders, side skirts, rear quarter panels, rear bumper, rear diffuser.

They also wanted the full optional extras, to reduce as much weight as possible, whilst adding as much down force to the car as possible.

Compete flat under floor panels, front and rear arch liners, roof section, rear engine cover, rear wing with supports and end plates, 12x18 & 13x18 centre locks wheels.

We will bring you more on the build as it takes shape over the next few weeks, as we get ready to start the process for a full road going version that will be prowling the streets of California, from track car to street car.

Aspect-GT

It’s been a while in the making, but we are finally pleased to announce the guys over at Aspect GT have finally launched their GT website, and opened up the facility in Upper Heyford, Oxon to the public and have some pretty epic products in the works, that will all be hitting the market at some point in 2016.

Those that follow the VAD builds & news will know all about the Ferrari 458 GT3 Curseive that was built for Mikael Persbrandt as it was well documented, and as the guys over at Aspect GT put a lot of effort in especially with the O.E.M fit and finish for the project, its only fair we give the guys a shout out, most race cars don’t have the luxury of decent panel gap or good fitment, but the Aspect GT conversions are all about the quality and end result, which is simply stunning, they may look like the race car but they are very different machines, as with any enhancement on the elite sports cars, the most important factor is an O.E quality finish, the detail and creativity are mind blowing on all of these conversions.

We have already touched based last week on one conversion they will constructing, the mighty BMW Z4 Nuke that takes all its brutish looks from its GT3 track cousin, but they are adding a bit ofspice by installing a V8 to make sure it has the noise and the get up and go for that epic carbon fibre wide body.

In production at the moment and currently taking orders is their Ultra-R wide body aero pack for Audi’s range topping R8, its loosely based on the original Ultra R8 LMS / GT3 race car, but built for road application, so the usual high quality fit & finish will apply, but if you do fancy a track day or two the guys inform us that all of their aero kits are built for track day abuse, so you get the best of both worlds.

Check out their website and perusal over the product and builds they offer, if you’re into the race car look and it’s what you desire for road application, then Aspect will more than take care of your needs.
