GTspirit Garage
GTspirit Garage offers an in-depth look into our project sports or luxury cars and the experience of owning, tuning and customizing a sports or luxury vehicle. GTspirit is all about exclusive sport cars and now there is a garage where you can follow the progress of our projects.
Currently we have five permanent cars in the GTspirit Garage; a 2012 Nissan R35 GT-R (530hp version), carbon fiber wrapped Porsche 996 GT2, Audi RS4 Cabriolet, BMW 320i Coupe and a BMW 135i Coupe. They are all owned by the GTspirit Team.
One special project in our garage is an Ultima GTR street-legal race car, which is still under development. We will follow the complete building process from A to Z. Two new projects are the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG developed by Automotive Connoisseur Group and a twin-turbocharged 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE built by US tuner Bradan.
Lamborghini Gallardo SE Twin-Turbo Project by Bradan
US car specialist Bradan has been commissioned to build a twin-turbo conversion for a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE. The goal of this project is to reliably increase the engines power output to 750-800 all wheel horsepower using 93 octane fuel.
The engine will be rebuilt and reinforced internally to handle the increased boost pressure. A turbo system will be designed and engineered to build power in a similar fashion to the OEM power curve. The full process will be documented step-by-step to show what is involved in such a project and show our capabilities. We from GTspirit follow Bradan in their process and share with you the latest information on the development and rebuild in GTspirit Garage.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG by Automotive Connoisseur Group
One of our US members to the GTspirit Garage is this Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG tuned with a âmoney no objectâ approach. The Automotive Connoisseur Group is the tuner of this particular AMG family member and an automotive shop specializing in high-end European cars, exotics and a select group of Japanese cars. The US tuner from San Diego will be concentrating on the carâs interior, exterior and the exhaust tune. Read more about the project right here.
Ultima GTR
The Ultima GTR is one of the most extreme supercars money can buy. The road-legal racer has a chassis capable of handling engines up to 1,000hp, plenty of lightweight materials, laminated glass and a massive carbon fiber wing.
The Ultima GTR featured in our garage has an unique body work, a C5R racing engine and numerous parts creating an one-of-a-kind racer. You can read everything about the Luxembourgish Ultima GTR project right here.
BMW 135i ///MR Edition
Characterized as a wolf in sheep’s clothing by FIA GT driver Xavier Maassen, this BMW 135i owned by one of the GTspirit editors. The BMW 135i coupe will serve as an internal tuning project for GTspirit. Over the upcoming months the BMW 1-Series Coupe will showcase what tuners, manufacturers and our partners have to offer.
The goal is to transform the BMW 135i from a stock product to a piece of machinery that is setup for both use on track as GTspirit transportation to and from road tests, events and during European road trips. To follow the complete step-by-step process of this project visit the project page.
Audi RS4 Convertible
One of our actual GTspirit camera cars, driven by one of our team members, is an 2007 Audi RS4 Convertible. The car was used near Stuttgart and Berlin as a high performance camera car. Built from 2005-2009 the Audi RS4 was with it’s high revving 4.2 liter V8 Engine and 420bhp a new era for Audi. This direct fuel injected engine is today still used under the hood of the RS5. With the convertible we got one of only 1.507 built open-top RS4. The intention was to get a fast convertible with a sporty character for every day use and this is what we got.
BMW 320i Coupe
Our chief editor got himself a new ride. This Sapphire Black BMW 320i Coupe is equipped with nearly every possible option and for now rides on stock 17 inch wheels that soon will be used as winter wheels with winter tyres. Over the upcoming months the vehicle will be further personalized beyond the black chrome tailpipe and black grill. You should be able to see this GTspirit car at upcoming car shows and events.
2012 Nissan R35 GT-R
The Nissan GT-R is a sports car produced by Nissan. The revised GT-R (2011 model year, 2012 model year for the US) features an engine with revised mapping, changes to valve timing, larger inlets and a revised exhaust system which boosts rated power to 530bhp and 612Nm of torque from 3,200 to 6,000rpm.
The Nissan GT-R with 530bhp in our GTspirit garage belongs to the first GTspirit ambassador. Apart from GTspirit ambassador he is co-owner of one of the UK’s most exclusive car communities; PureGT and has attended many trackdays and events over the years. Previous cars in his collection included a white Audi R8 V10 Spyder, Porsche 997 GT2, Shelby GT500 and Vauxhall Bathurst among others.
Porsche 996 GT2
The 911 GT2 is a sports car built by the German manufacturer Porsche. The 996 version was introduced in 2001 and uses a twin-turbocharged version of the GT3′s 3.6 liter engine. The output is 462hp, which was later increased to 483hp and 640Nm at 3,500rpm. A sprint from zero to 100km/h is done in 3.7 seconds, maximum top speed is 319km/h.
This GT2 belongs to one of our other GTspirit ambassadors and long time trackday and road rally veteran. The GT2 has seen most of Europe and famous race tracks including the Nurburgring Nordschleife, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza and the Hungaroring. The 996 GT2 is originally silver but now drives around with a full carbon fiber wrap.
