Porsche 997 Wide Body R, Nears Completion

The main part of the build for the Speedwells Porsche 997R Bi-Turbo is not far of completed, just the wheels, and tyres to fit which should be over the next couple of days and it is pretty much done, as all conversions of this size it will take a little longer to get all of the little updates done like the front head lights, the grills for the front and rear bumper which all have to be patterned then laser cut, we could of gone down the motorsport grill look, but this is a road version of the R, so Iby wanted a more road look with the grill set, and doesn't want to mix race with road and we can relate to that as there are hundreds of race going 997 R’s around the world, but very few out right road cars.

We are really looking forward to the show scene for 2018, with our own BMW Z4 GT3 V8 hanging out with our good friend Iby and his Speedwells 997 GT3R, both in road going trim, this is going to be one very special year. Stay tuned for more picture updates when the wheels and tyres are fitted over the next few days, we can’t wait.

Johan Sjöstedt upgrades his BMW Z4 GT3, and the new look is sensational.

Our good friend Johan Sjöstedt has been at it again, updating and fine tuning his amazing BMW Z4 GT3 creation, we have him to blame for us also taking the same path with our own BMW Z4 transformation.

I think everyone in the car scene around the globe knows of the BMW Z4 GT3 that Jens Byggmark drove in the 2014 Gumball 3000, built by West Coast Racing, if you don’t where have you been, as this is one of the most famous if not “THE” most famous Z4 on the planet, as I said it most certainly contributed towards us taking the plunge, as we were looking to sell our authentic full carbon kit, until we saw how it looked on the road, so a big thank you Johan for helping with our choice to build our V8 GT3 Z4.

So what has Johan been up to with the Z4 and what changes have been made since we spoke to him last year, well for starters the folding electric roof has been taken off and in its place a full carbon fibre BMW GT3 fixed hard top, and we must say we want one at some point as it looks so spectacular, he has also updated the N54 Turbo engine that the car was launched with, its been replaced by the S65 V8 with sequential gearbox.

The final change has been the all new white look, with the BMW Motorsport detail stripes around the sill, rear quarters and the bonnet vents, this is one serious transformation, and one that looks at home on the track as it does on the road.

Kudos to Johan for building what has to be the finest homage to the awesome BMW Z4 GT3 race cars in the world, we have a lot of work to do with our own Z4 GT3 V8 build, and if it turns out anything remotely like Johan’s beauty, I for one will be extremely happy.

BMW Z4 GT3 rear wing assembly

Its taken some time but we are happy to say we have the final piece to our Z4 GT3 Jigsaw puzzle, getting hold of a genuine rear wing assembly, the wing is the easiest part to get hold of as we can simply manufacture any width any length wing with various profiles, all we have to do for the Z4 is make sure we have the correct width. We already had the early type rear wing set up, but its chassis mounted uprights which was great if you had the race car with the fixed roof, but not so great if your converting road cars and you still have the steal electric hood, we will possibly look at changing our roof to the authentic GT3 at some point, as we have found a German supplier that produces the roof and the mirrors if we need them, but not everyone wants a fixed roof, they want the convertible option, and you cannot use the roof as the wing uprights are bolted strait to the boot floor and the rear wing will not let the roof work correctly, so we have been after the later style with the boot mounted assembly for a while now, and its great to finally source a pure race wing set up, with the twin blades.

Lots of people have said we shouldn't fit the wing as we are building a road car, and to some extent we agree, but this conversion needs it, this is a really aggressive looking car, the authentic GT3 kit is super wide, so the GT3 rear wing set up is the cherry on the top, and one this wide body V8 needs, with the added bonus and advantage of advertising space, which is priceless.

We will be having the aluminium supports laser cut and manufacturing, the double wing set up will be manufactured in carbon fibre, email us for more details if you happen to be building a Z4 GT3 or you just fancy fitting the GT3 rear wing assembly on your BMW E89 Z4 Chassis.
