The R8’s 1,580 kg serial kerb weight decreases by 250 kg thus help the GTR to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds with the top speed of 332 km/h.

The PPI Razor GTR will also feature a striking widebody appearance with elaborate, wind tunnel tested aerodynamics which are made of extremely light and high-strength formula 1 and aerospace-proven carbon fiber to reduce the vehicle’s weight.

The suspension system will also be upgraded with KW coil over kit that has been specially adjusted to the need of the GTR which consists of a Hydraulic Lift System that can increase ground clearance by 45 mm.
