PPI Razor GTR - the latest PPI Automotive Design product was brought to the Dubai Motor Show. Unique for this car is the use of carbon fiber technology used in the aerospace and F1 racing industries for the widebody kit with a new front bumper, front spoiler, front bonnet, front fenders, sideskirts, sideblades (or as PPI now calls them: Aeroblades), rear fenders, rear bumper, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and a new rear engine cover with air channels that can be fitted with a Polycarbonate, scratch-resistant and UV coated glass in solid or slotted form.The result: 250 kilograms stripped from the car. Combined with supercharged V8 with 580hp. or V10 with 600hp. the PPI’s Audi R8 claims a 0 – 100 km\h time of 3.7 seconds and max. speed – 323km/h. that adds 200hp to the V8 or 220 to the V10.
Naturally, this required bigger wheels, bigger brakes, and more cooling. PPI uses a 380 mm braking system with six-piston calipers in the front, and four-piston calipers at the back. 9 x 19 and 11 x 20 forged aluminum wheels, with 265/35 19, and 335/30 20 Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Every air channel, intake has a function and purpose on this mid-engined : to increase air delivery to the engine, to provide greater engine cooling,to increase brake cooling, and to increase aerodynamic stability.
The production interior is replaced with the finest quality materials: PPI Sport Steering wheel with Carbon Fiber Rim and perforated black leather, and of course, the PPI insignia in aluminum. The hand-brake lever, door sill protectors, driver and radio console surround, door trim, center console inserts, kneepad trim are all crafted from carbon fiber, as are the ultra-light weight folding sport seats with airbag.
