The New edo 997 GT2 R

The basis is formed by the edo 996 GT2 R, which had already been modified in the areas of brakes, suspension, engine, transmission, aerodynamics, exhaust system, interior, wheels/tires and light-weight windows. The only thing missing to be up-to-date is the look of the current Porsche 997! Conversion kit made from ultra-light carbon fiber in "extra-wide" including a high-performance brake system and sport suspension. Extensive modification program ranging from aerodynamics to engine tuning

The latest project of edo competition Motorsport GmbH showcases an extra-wide sport version of the 997 GT2 R with convincing performance specs:

Specifications

Engine -- water-cooled, twin-turbocharged horizontally opposed 6-cylinder
Power -- est. 542 hp / (398 kW) at 6,790 rpm
Torque -- 755 Nm (557 ft-lb) at 4,300 rpm

Performance

Top speed -- 330 km/h (205 mph)
0 – 100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) -- 3.8 s
0 – 200 km/h (0 – 124 mph) -- 11.0 s

The following conversion kit made from ultra-light carbon fiber was created:

Complete front fascia: front skirt, radiator air inlets, brake cooling ducts
Front fenders modified and widened
Fender liners
Mesh inserts front and rear
Front lip spoiler in carbon fiber
