The German tuners are at it again. Will have to have a word with my mate Alex and see if he can shove more horses into his 3.9L

For me it stops being a GT3 when they bolt turbos on. I guess they'd have used a GT2 but cheaper donor car here...

 

Agreed, I'll take my NA GT3 with 600 HP less any day.

 

"The massive horsepower boost has been achieved by bolting a pair of fat turbos to the GT3's 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops a pitiful 435bhp in production guise. 9ff says its GTurbo (for that is its name) will crack 62mph in 2.9 seconds and top out at 243mph, which is - there's no other way of putting this, really - Not Unfast"

I would only drive the car if it has an ejection seat ...

It will be the feature car in the next fast and deadliest - German drift - driven by Van Diesel lol

 

paul walker's R34 doesnt look ricey now?

 

that r34 has too much wheel gap he needs a drop :eeps:

but i kinda think it taints the whole experience of a gt3 slapping turbo's on it but i guess they decided the gt3 engine was better basis then the gt2 engine for cost reasons and because it's on the new 3.8L block as opposed to the GT1 3.6 block

 

1000bhp on the rear wheels, in a Rear engined car sounds terrifying. It must be a handful in any sort of bends, apex acceleration I feel would make the back end very lively.

 

 

The current GT3's 3.8L engine is still based on the same GT-1 block.... it is not the direction injection 3.8L found in the Carrera S.. !
