The Porsche 997 is our favorite of all the Porsche chassis, we have a great fondness for the earlier 964 & 993 models, but we have a super soft spot for the 997 especially in the 997.2 guise. Available in various engine and body configurations, we love them all, the Turbo, GT2 or the GT3 are no doubt the cream of the crop but our personal choice would be the C4S with the 3.8 engine, it a beauty, naturally aspirated, and with 355 BHP is no slouch with plenty of go to match those good looks, with so many possibilities to enhance the output, with a Super charger being our favorite choice for engine upgrade, the bolt on VF charger looks OEM and you get to add just over 100 BHP, how does 510 BHP with 380 ft-lbs of torque, and that epic charger noise.

We have always said its difficult to improve on perfection, and as the 997 has those devilish good looks, is it even possible, well yes it can be with the stunning R wide body programme, and its bloody stunning from any angle, any viewing point it just sets the juices flowing, its breathtaking to look at, especially that rear end.

The aero kit is quite an extensive package and if your looking to build the ultimate track beast like our friends Scribante racing built, then you you need pretty much every part available, but if not then you only need the very basic aero kit for road application, email the team for details on this stunning conversion for the 997 chassis, as well as wheels, tyres, suspension, with fitting and painting also available on request.

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.

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.

Another update on our Porsche parts is for the 996 chassis, we now have the RSR XXL wide body aero pack, it has a more aggressive font bumper, with vented front fender tops and houses 11” front wheels and 13” rear, this has not been added to our 996 aero product range.

Porsche 997 GT3R Bi-turbo

We have had a busy time of late at the VAD HQ, with so much going on its been hectic, but no complaints it’s just the way we like it, and with the BMW Z4 V8 GT3 Just about to head off to Emerald for the last remap, it will then head down to our composite partners BAMD before heading into paint.

Now we get to concentrate on the next bit of work, which is a collaboration with one of our long-time friends Speedwells re-finishers, and to say we are looking forward to it is an understatement.

The sad part is Iby is about to sell off his pride and joy, his awesome red Supra with 800bhp, is automotive perfection, it seems to have been around forever and in a way it has been, as its gone through so many changes and recently spawned a twin in the form of a Black wide body, known as BOMB 11, but that didn't last too long as it was snapped up a few weeks back, and now he has decided to make way with his prize possession, and as we thought, it’s got a lot of interest among the Supra network, so it won’t be long before its found a new home.

So what’s next up to replace the legendary wide body Supra, well what we can tell you is it will be Bi Turbo from the Porsche stable, in the form of the 997 Chassis and will wear the full carbon fibre GT3R wide body aero kit, and it going to be one very special collaboration and build, when quality meets quality, perfection is guaranteed.
