Like a volcano, this GT-R will be erupting it’s hot fiery fireballs and exhaust fumes onto the streets and people of Hawaii. Laying down some thick rubber, no doubt will this GT-R be the center of attention. Not only will it be attracting the women of Hawaii in grass skirts, but also the men’s… In grass skirts as well. With sweat dripping off of each person’s body, they will be begging for a ride in the SPE1000; requesting for a ice cold bath afterward to cool off.

Our client, a Hawaiian resident, just recently had his 2009 Storm White GT-R completed here at SP Engineering with a full SPE1000 Package. He previously had the SPE900 Package done with us awhile back, but like most everyone else, he wanted more power and felt the need to upgrade.

Tear-down begins… NOW!

You might remember this E63 AMG from a previous visit where we worked on lowering the car.  This time installation on a set of COR Forged Wheels was on the to-do list.

COR Forged Cipher’s were the style of choice completed in a Titanium finish with carbon fiber lips.
20×8 front//20×11 rears

These COR cipher wheels definitely set off the E63, and we hope the owner enjoys his new look.

First off  I want to say Happy Monday. Early in the morning at SP we were greeted with a truck which had another delivery from the man himself Ray Hofman.  This time around it’s Rays brand new 2012 Audi R8 GT. The Audi R8 GT is a limited production car. Ray managed to get himself #112 out of 333 total that are being produced, and with only 90 that are being brought to US shores.

Quick overview of the 2012 Audi R8 GT:

• Uprated version of the current 5.2-liter V10, 560 hp, 398 lb-ft; six-speed automated manual transmission, AWD
• Audi states 0-60 3.6 seconds/ top speed 198.84
• 180 pounds in weight reduction
• firmer manually adjustable Bilstein suspension (10mm lower to the ground)
• New ceramic brake package (giant 14.96-inch rotors up front and 14.0-inch rotors in the rear)
• 333 total being produced/ 90 will come to the states

I’ve gotta say I really do like this car. Previously we had Ray’s Lp570-4 Performante which is basically a re-wrapped version of the Audi R8 V10. This car has a difference refinement and is definitely more subtle and understated. With it’s red exterior color though it definitely screams out loud.

Stay tuned for what comes next with this Audi R8 GT and for the full photoshoot.

With such big projects going on at SPE, taking a step back to look at the finer things that go into a build really make you appreciate the car as a whole once its complete. In this shot you can see our tech finishing up a TiTek carbon fiber gauge surround for one of our clients GT-R build’s; the small details definitely do make a world of a difference…Stay tuned as we’ll have something special for you guys to see in the upcoming month.
