Ferrari 812 Competizione more powerful than ever

In 2015, Ferrari presented a track-focused version of the model 812, the Ferrari 812 Competizione. This super powerful, light weight limited edition supercar has outstanding performance, but the German tuner Novitec has taken it to a higher level.

The Ferrari 812 Competizione is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 866 hp (637 kW) and 524 lb-ft (711 Nm) of torque. This increase in power, compared to the standard model, was achieved thanks to the new NOVITEC high-performance exhaust system. Now, Ferrari’s sportiest road car reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.85 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). As a reminder, the standard 812 Competizione has 830 hp (610 kW) and 510 lb-ft (692 Nm) of torque.

Novitec has prepared an equipment kit that includes a front lift system that allows the vehicle to be raised by an additional 40 mm, sports springs that reduce the car’s height by 25 mm, 21 and 22-inch Vossen hi-tech forged wheels wrapped in 275/30 ZR 21 front and 335/25 ZR 22 rear tires. The exterior of the car was not changed, as the focus was on the engine and increasing the power. Inside, the standard design of leather, Alcantara and carbon inserts is retained.

The Ferrari 812 Competizione and Aperta convertible sold out as soon as Ferrari introduced them. Production is limited to 999 coupes and 599 convertibles.

1988 Porsche 930 Turbo with 850 HP

There are more and more restored Porsche cars in the public eye, and one of the latest is the 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo. It is a turbocharged variant of the 911 model that was manufactured between 1975 and 1989, when Porsche discontinued the production of this car. The car was modified and restored by the Galpin company in cooperation with the Porsche distributor from Santa Clarita.

After the car was damaged by fire, but the team did not want to leave it to decay. So they did everything to save the car. First, the car was completely disassembled and restored. It was then fitted with an X83 Flachbau body kit paired with Rubystar paint. “Our goal with this Slantnose was to bring it back to the original generation while incorporating our own unique Galpinized design,” said Galpin boss Beau Boeckmann. In order to give a bit of racing spirit, a racing stripe has been added. The suspension has been upgraded with components taken from the 997 GT3 RS, and the car is fitted with HRE rims with Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in turquoise with black and white inserts. The steering wheel and dashboard are also covered in turquoise, with matching carpets. There is also a Blaupunkt sound system.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Porsche 930 Turbo is powered by a turbocharged 3.5L flat-six engine with 850 hp (625 kW). As a reminder, the original 1988 model is powered by a 3.3L flat-six engine with 282 hp (207 kW) @ 5500 rpm and 289 lb-ft (392 Nm) of torque.

We know that there are many car enthusiasts who do not support modifying cars, especially when it comes to some of the legendary models, but this one might change the minds of some of them.

Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R with 1,500 HP

There are many car projects in the world that have been more or less successfully completed, and this time we present to you the unique R32 Skyline GT-R. This project is the work of Australian David Anton and the result is a car with an incredible power of 1,500 hp, making it one of the most powerful R32 Skyline GT-R in the world.

The story of this super powerful car was published on the YouTube channel “Larry Chen”. So what did Anton do? He put together two parts from two engines, an RD28 block from a 3.2 liter diesel and an RB26 head, creating arguably the most powerful diesel Skyline GT-R in the world. Then, he installed a Turbo 400 with a three-speed racing gearbox, which sends power to all wheels.

Speaking of the car, Anton states that his R32 Skyline GT-R reaches 298 km/h on the drag track. He could go faster, but he had to let off the gas pedal to avoid being punished because he doesn’t have a roll cage. In the 1/4 mile, the car had a time of 8.5 seconds with a top speed of 257 km/h. If Anton had not had to let off the gas pedal, he would have achieved a time of 8.2 or 8.3 seconds.

When it comes to design, Anton tried to keep it as stock looking as possible. The car is equipped with 15×8 TE37 wheels wrapped in P275/50 R15 GT Street tires. There are also stock brakes from the R32 Skyline GT-R.
