Slant Nose Porsche 996 Turbo

It’s been the weekend of the Osaka Auto Messe in Japan, and the old & new crew have display yet another show stopper, built by AP Garage in Japan and what an amazing Job they have done, its come out looking amazing, it really is a beauty.

This time they have built the slant nose for the 996 model in turbo form, and this is the Version 1 of the aero pack that will keep the rear Turbo bumper and a race style GT rear wing set up, we think this version will be a very popular one, as its more of a take on the over fender, slant nose look of the older generation Porsche 930 models, and we know some Porsche fans will be thinking, great as it gets rid of the 996 front headlights, they are like marmite, you either like that front end look of the 996 or loathe it, to be honest we like the OEM 996 front, but we very much prefer this slant nose look, who wouldnt.

The colour and wheel choice is also a different take from the last 997 build, and this is very much reminiscent of the old turbo fan style and for us this is the best wheel choice so far, in fact its giving us some ideas for our own slant nose build.

Contact the sales team for more details on this slant nose build for your 996 or your 997 Porsche, as we now have both conversions available for Turbo or non turbo models, as a fully build conversion or as a supply only.

Sirius Automotive 818

We have been working on a bit of a top secret project over the last few months, with a company called Sirius Automotive, just waiting for the time we can discuss their up and coming pocket rocket, and we are pleased to be given the green light, and boy oh boy does this little box of joy tick every box, what we love about this car the most apart from the amazing handling and speed, is the fact it comes in so many different configurations, it's beautiful from every viewing point, the boys at the factory stateside have done an amazing job.

The coupe is pure win to look at, its drop dead gorgeous to look at, now the best bit, you can have the coupe, with a removeable hard top option, yep we know its cool, you get the best of both worlds, and it looks just as gorgeous without the roof, then they offer a full soft top version, and if thats not wet your appetite enough they have the race- r, a full blown track warrior, good lord, where would you start, ... we just want them all.

The spec list is mind blowing, you really can build the car to exactly how you want it, the list is huge, the base engines are from the Subaru, in the form of the glorious boxer 2ltr engine or you can spec it up to the 2.5ltr, Sirius inform us the 2ltr is the most popular, they can also be tuned by their engine partners, but if you Are looking for something just a little bit special, how about a electric powered version, as you will see in their online video collection, it's a pretty phenomenal piece of kit, we can just imagine that beautiful coupe, with the removable roof with Tesla performance and power ...oh yes please.

Sirius Automotive 818 Coupe

as with any new built car, you get the option to finish the exterior and interior to your own specification, you want leather, no problem, or alcantara with the carbon touch, they offer every bespoke option, they will also make you car options for the exterior too, with the black weave being offered for the front splitter, side splitters, racer mirrors, carbon bonnet, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, you want a one off carbon body, these boys could make it happen.

We are happy to report the European cars will all wear the Enkei Japan lightweight road wheels, measuring 7.5x17 front (with an 8x18 front option) and 8.5x18 rear, colour choice is vast, and the quality of the Enkei name speaks volumes, adds a touch of Ichiban to the brand name.

We are looking forward to working with Sirius for the foreseeable future, and we wish them well in their quest to make, not only a high quality vehicle, but a fast, reliable, and all this with beauty in depth, that will snap necks wherever you take it, with the added bonus that this car has been honed on the track, but now you have the difficult choice ...which one.

Wide Body V10 M6 in the making

Over the last 18 years or more we have been involved with some pretty spectacular wheel projects all over the world, we have had some great builds globally, the Australian market we have produced some great one off custom wheel builds, especially for the mighty HSV Holden VE model, building wheel widths most say aren’t possible, we love a challenge and it seems so does Joakim Edin from Sweden.

Joakim is building a very unique BMW E63 M6 V10 coupe, when we first spoke to him, he explained how he had scoured the market looking for a decent wide body off the shelf, but he was left extremely disappointed with what the market had to offer for his V10 powerhouse, so decided the only way he was going to get what he wanted, was to make his own, which he is in the process of doing, we just love customers like Joakim, not just his attitude of , “it’s not available, so I will make my own”, but the fact he has the capability to design and produce the body work to the exact look he has in his head, the guy has skills.

He has already built some formidable machines; one in particular has already been featured on the Speedhunters website, his amazing Jaguar XJR, a very unique build running a 20” wheel set up, with Accuair suspension.

As well as knowing what he wants in the way of body styling, the wheels have also been meticulously chosen to make sure the design is as he envisaged the overall look, and the VAD VF1 was his desired wheel of choice, a plain and simple but very effective looking five spoke design with the deepest concave we could get out of the 12x21 front wheels and the awesome 15x21 rear set up, hes basically got the rear wheel concavity for the front and the rear, and they look pretty awesome, with a brushed centre, exposed hardware and reverse outer rim, this is going to be one very special M6, and one we are proud to be involved with… roll on launch day, Hurry up Joakim
