Wimmer even uses new engine software. The most important subject are two high performance turbochargers. Furthermore, Wimmer states that the sport exhaust system together with the welded exhaust manifold and two exhausts provide a furious roaring and whooshing.

Sport Maxx GT tyres in dimensions of 235/30-20 or 325/25-20 mounted on Sportec rims provide for stability at high speed, at above 300 km/h. The appearence of the Porsche GT2 has been optimized with carbon exterior rear-view mirrors and a carbon rear spoiler lip. The serial chassis has been furthermore improved by H&R sport springs.
