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.

from any viewing point its incredible, they have sourced and used the very best product they could get their competitive hands on, this is one serious racing car, the construction is amazing, with their own neat bespoke touches, like the incredible front hood with a real trick venting system, the front and rear bumper mods and we love the rear fender cooling ducts made from carbon, that sit on top of the really wide rear fenders, that will feed as much air they need in to the huge intercoolers, sitting either side of the carbon vented bumper, Marco from Phoenix Performance has done exceeding well with all the nice little performance upgrades.
