This Tuned Porsche GT2 RS Hits 227MPH – Meet the Ultimate 911 - video Dailymotion

Ridiculous Rides

A PERFORMANCE car tuning company has transformed Porsche’s top of the range 911 GT2 RS into a supercar capable of speeds of up to 227mph - making it the fastest 911 in the world. For 15 years, BBI Autosport have been the experts in high-end, off-the-market tuning. Starting with the factory model, BBI upgraded the classic 911 with a custom engine, larger turbos and an advanced cooling system. To buy from the showroom, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS typically sells for over $350,000 – but with this level of modification, this car would cost closer to half a million dollars.

00:00I don't think we've ever built a car that made you actually feel this comfortable doing

00:04something so wrong.

00:05It's visceral, raw, and powerful.

00:11For 15 years, BBI Autosport have specialized in high-end aftermarket tuning.

00:27We take this beautiful canvas that Porsche gives us and we tailor it to a client's need

00:31or to a specific goal that we're after.

00:34We started with the 991 GT2 RS, the most powerful car Porsche has ever put out as a production

00:38vehicle.

00:39We just wanted to have a more focused car.

00:43It was a daunting task.

00:45A custom-calibrated engine, upgraded turbo, and advanced cooling make this Porsche one

00:51of a kind.

00:52This is the BBI GT2 RS VMAX.

00:55Because we developed it for top speed runs to hit as fast a speed as possible, as fast

01:02as possible.

01:03It's Porsche's flagship sports car, it's got amazing aero, great power, incredible handling.

01:09From first glance, you probably wouldn't be able to tell that it's any different from

01:12a car on the showroom floor.

01:14It's a little lower, it's got slightly different wheels, it's got some interior removed, and

01:19it has a hell of a lot more horsepower.

01:21It's deadly, but fast, unassuming, and actually you can go get your groceries in it.

01:28Pretty impressive daily driver, but it's on the track where this car is truly at home.

01:35This trip is awesome because you're in a controlled environment.

01:37You can choose to run by yourself or next to somebody who's 40 or 50 feet away from you.

01:41You're really hyper-focused on how the engine feels.

01:43And come back, talk to the crew.

01:44They end up looking at all the data.

01:46We can take that and apply that to the next time we go back.

01:49We've done a lot of these half miles.

01:50We did learn a lot there about thermal management, learning about tuning, turbo shaft speed,

01:55and efficiency ranges.

01:59Being out there, to me, feels more like a tool that allows you to focus and hone, rather

02:04than this white-knuckling, I don't know what happened, I'm just glad I made it to the end.

02:10The focus of this entire project really highlights the other components of our product line.

02:30It shows that when you put everything together in a package, you have this OEM plus feel of

02:35a vehicle that could maybe have been built by the Skunk Works program at Porsche.

02:42The fastest we've gone in this car is 227 miles an hour.

02:50We did some quick math.

02:52It's geared to 242, and we can raise the rev limiter a little bit.

02:55Maybe with a long enough road, we could go 245.

03:03This car has bigger turbo chargers.

03:05More intercooler, better calibration, a water methanol injection system, better chassis

03:12to handle the high speed, and of course, running the Michelin tires, because it's just proven

03:17to be phenomenal at any speed and power level.

03:21There's also a lot of work on the interior.

03:22There are race seats and harnesses to ensure that the car is safe.

03:26Modifying vehicles at this level takes years of experience, and the latest technology.

03:33In cars like these, fueling could be an issue, so we need to add secondary fueling, so we'll

03:39take the factory manifold, this plastic piece here, detail here, scan the manifold, scan the

03:43engine bay, and come up with this aluminum 3D printed piece.

03:48This technology along with the reverse engineering methods allows us to create stronger, better

03:53components.

03:54All that texture, right?

03:55If we're going to 3D print it, you get a lot of creativity in manufacturing, so we ended

03:58up coming up with this little design, making it so that you don't get that buffet inside

04:02the car.

04:03Just anything to redirect that airflow down six or seven inches back there, it just got

04:08it closer to the air scoop.

04:09And a transformation like this doesn't come cheap.

04:14The price of a GT2 RS is $350,000, but all the work and development that we've done probably

04:21makes it close to the half million mark.

04:31The hardest part about going that fast is keeping your right foot on the accelerator.

04:39Everything in your body tells you, okay, this is enough.

04:43The wind, the noise, the way that the chassis is talking to the ground.

04:50After about 200 miles an hour, the car will start to kind of pick a lane, you sit there

04:54and the car settles into itself really well.

04:59It's hard to describe that feeling.

05:05It's just, it's incredible.

05:09I like the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde duality of it.

05:13You can take it to the grocery store, but it performs like a super car that will slap

05:17you in the mouth if you mess up a little bit.
