When you have a beast like the Rocket Bunny R35 GTR in your garage, it's only natural to hit the streets of Tokyo and let it stretch its legs on the infamous Shutoko Expressway. After all, Tokyo's highways offer the perfect playground for this high-performance machine. But what initially seemed like a thrilling drive turned into a realization – we had a monster on our hands, but it wasn't reaching its full potential.
This R35 GTR had undergone significant upgrades to push its limits, boasting an impressive 1000 horsepower thanks to a laundry list of modifications. We'd thrown in bigger turbos, fortified the internals, installed larger injectors, improved the intake and cooling systems – the works. Even the clutch of the GR6 DCT Transmission had been upgraded to handle the immense power. However, there was a crucial oversight – we had decided not to change the ratio of the gearing, keeping the stock ratios intact.
As we pushed the car to its limits, it became painfully evident that it was hitting a speed ceiling just north of 310 km/h, far from what a 1000-horsepower machine should achieve. The culprit? Stock cams. Those camshafts were holding the beast back, limiting its redline and, consequently, its top speed.
Back at the garage, we decided to rectify this oversight with a set of high-profile Tomei cams, a modification that would allow us to push the redline all the way to 8000 RPM. This simple yet transformative upgrade sent the Rocket Bunny R35 GTR into the stratosphere, unleashing a staggering 1200 horsepower when the boost was cranked up to the max. But here's the beauty of it – the adjustable boost gave us the flexibility to switch between different profiles, allowing us to fine-tune the output for various driving scenarios and ensuring drivability wasn't sacrificed for raw power.
In the world of high-performance tuning, it's all about finding that perfect balance, and with the Rocket Bunny R35 GTR, we're continuously pushing the boundaries of what's possible. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the open highways, this machine is a testament to engineering ingenuity, proving that with the right tweaks, even a legend can become a mythic force to be reckoned with.
Sometimes, in the world of high-performance cars, it's essential to revisit old favorites and bring them up to date with the latest standards and knowledge. That's precisely what we've done with the iconic R35 GTR. Our previous work on this legendary platform was no slouch, but we've gained invaluable insights and expertise since then, making it the perfect time for an upgrade.
Our dream spec for the R35 GTR combines the best of daily drivability with jaw-dropping power. We've set our sights on achieving over 1000 horsepower while retaining the stock 7000 RPM redline, a testament to the immense tunability of this platform. To complement this beastly power, we've opted for the Rocket Bunny v1 widebody kit, giving the GTR an aggressive yet purposeful stance. Rolling on 20" TE37 Ultra wheels, this setup promises both style and performance.
However, our tuning philosophy for this build isn't just about sheer power. We're maintaining a focus on daily drivability, which means we won't go overboard with weight reduction. Instead, we're preserving much of the stock interior, only enhancing it with the distinctive "Sakura Pink" leather upholstery – an Egoist exclusive option that adds a unique and vibrant touch to this extreme build.
The R35 GTR has always been a canvas for automotive enthusiasts, offering a remarkable level of tunability. Its robust VR38DETT engine is a marvel, capable of handling substantial power upgrades. The symphony of turbochargers, precise fuel injection, and advanced engine management systems opens up a world of possibilities. Paired with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, the GTR offers exceptional grip and handling.
From engine management tweaks to turbocharger upgrades, suspension enhancements to aerodynamic improvements, the R35 GTR is a tuner's dream. It's a platform that's evolved and matured over the years, making it a formidable contender on both the street and the track. As we revisit this icon, we're excited to showcase the incredible potential this platform offers, blending power, style, and daily usability into one incredible package. Stay tuned as we transform this R35 GTR into a true masterpiece of automotive engineering and design.

Exciting news! We've embarked on a thrilling project, driven by the requests of our passionate fans – the Bugatti Vision GT. But hold onto your hats because here's the twist – we're going above and beyond to make it more authentic than the real deal.
You see, the genuine Bugatti Vision GT is essentially a cleverly disguised Bugatti Chiron. Underneath that jaw-dropping exterior, it's essentially a stock Chiron with no performance enhancements to speak of. So, we decided to give it the treatment it rightfully deserves.
Our dedicated team has put in countless hours to give the engine a significant boost, ramping it up to GT Sport specifications, and delivering a staggering 1626HP that will leave you speechless. But that's not the whole story. We've also outfitted it with the Supersport's wider gearing, a modification that, in our humble opinion, Bugatti should have strongly considered for the real Vision GT.
Now, you might be wondering why these exhilarating enhancements weren't part of the official car. Well, let's not forget that the Vision GT was conceived before Bugatti unveiled the Supersport and other high-octane variants like the Centodeci. So, to us, retrofitting these upgrades and creating the ultimate Bugatti is simply a no-brainer.
But wait, there's more! We're thrilled to announce that Tidy, is spearheading this project. With his skills and dedication, we're taking this Bugatti Vision GT to the next level.
Stay locked in for more updates on this project – we're counting down the moments until we can share the awe-inspiring results with you! 🏁

The G35 Coupe has carved out a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts for its combination of sleek design, remarkable performance, and affordability. It's a testament to the idea that a well-balanced sports coupe doesn't have to come with an exorbitant price tag. We can't wait to see the final product from 101Creative and experience the magic of the G35 Coupe in the virtual world.
We recently had the opportunity to explore the world of Renault with the Renault Sport Twingo. This brand isn't as well-known in our region, which added an exciting element to our experience. Having previously worked with cars like the Clio and Citroens, we're gaining a deeper understanding of these French hot hatches, and they're proving to be an absolute delight to drive, especially on tight circuits or mountain touge courses.
The Renault Sport Twingo distinguishes itself from its standard sibling with a set of aggressive cosmetic enhancements, including Renault Sport graphics, striking spoilers, and widened wheel arches. These modifications allow for a 60 mm wider track at both the front and rear. Additionally, the car sits 10mm lower, and boasts a 30 percent increase in spring rates and damping stiffness, a 25% boost in anti-roll bar stiffness, and a quicker steering ratio, significantly enhancing its handling capabilities.
In its standard form, the Renault Sport Twingo proves itself more than competent, holding its own against most junior hot hatches in the market. For those who crave an extra edge, there's the "Cup" tuning package. This package includes a 10 percent increase in suspension stiffness, a further 4mm drop in ride height, 17-inch alloy wheels (up from 16 inches), and lower-profile 195/40 tires. With these enhancements, the Twingo delivers even sharper handling.
While the Renault Sport Twingo excels in performance and handling, there are some aspects where it might fall short compared to its competitors. However, these nuances don't diminish the excitement it brings to the driving experience.

We are absolutely ecstatic to introduce the BMW M3 E46 to our virtual garage, and this iconic car is about to undergo a meticulous makeover. If we were tasked with selecting the ultimate driving machine, it would undoubtedly be the E46 M3. This car holds a special place in our hearts, and it's not just us; every member of our physics team has owned one (or even several) at some point in their automotive journey. Moreover, it seems like every car enthusiast in our circle has had their fair share of E46 M3 experiences.
The BMW E46 M3, produced from 2000 to 2006, represents a high point in the M3's storied history. It was the successor to the revered E36 M3 and the predecessor to the thunderous E92 M3, and it embodied the perfect blend of sports car and daily driver. At its heart was a 3.2-liter inline-six engine that produced 333 horsepower, sending its power to the rear wheels through either a 6-speed manual transmission or the revolutionary Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG).

Speaking of the SMG transmission, it was far more than just a fancy acronym; it was a defining characteristic of this car. The SMG II added a layer of engagement and excitement to the driving experience that was truly unique. It allowed drivers to shift gears manually, like a traditional manual gearbox, but without a clutch pedal. This technology was groundbreaking at the time and added a sporty and involving dimension to the E46 M3's performance.
The E46 M3's design was another aspect that made it stand out. Its flared fenders, aggressive front fascia, and distinctive quad exhaust pipes hinted at its performance potential. Inside, it offered a driver-focused cockpit with sporty seats, an ergonomic dashboard, and high-quality materials.
Today, we're proud to declare that we've successfully translated the essence of the E46 M3 into our simulation. Even within the virtual realm, you'll be able to feel every strength and subtlety that this legendary M car brings to the table. It's an embodiment of BMW M's ethos, and it's a standard that BMW itself has been attempting to recapture with models like the 1M and M2.
The E46 M3, with its harmonious blend of power, precision handling, and that unmistakable M character, has etched an indelible mark in the automotive world. It's often hailed as one of the best sports cars of its era, and for good reason. It exudes that perfect balance of daily drivability and track-ready performance. It's a car that captivated our hearts, and we're beyond thrilled to share it with you in our simulation.
So, whether you're a die-hard E46 M3 enthusiast or you're about to discover the magic of this iconic BMW for the first time, get ready for an unparalleled driving experience. Buckle up and prepare to experience automotive greatness, the E46 M3 way!
Introducing the enigmatic 1975 Citroën DS 23—a true marvel of automotive history that stands as one of the quirkiest cars ever to grace our collection. And guess what? We absolutely adore it!
This French masterpiece is unlike anything you've ever seen, boasting an exceptionally long wheelbase, a front engine, and front-wheel drive configuration. It's the kind of super saloon that pushes the boundaries of conventional automotive design. What makes it even more fascinating is its arsenal of unconventional features, like a single-spoke steering wheel that defies the norm.
However, what truly sets the DS 23 apart is its interconnected hydraulic suspension system. This groundbreaking technology gives the car a magic carpet-like ride quality. Imagine gliding effortlessly over the road, with every bump and undulation absorbed by this hydraulic marvel.

It's not about sheer power but rather the way it gracefully carries itself on the road.
Now, let's delve a bit deeper into this automotive oddity. The DS 23's design is unmistakably Citroën—avant-garde, daring, and somewhat eccentric. Inside, the layout is just as unconventional as the exterior, offering an experience unlike any other. This is a car that challenges the status quo, redefining what a saloon can be.
Cruising in the DS 23 is like stepping into a time capsule of automotive innovation. Its unique blend of comfort, technology, and unorthodox design is a testament to the boundless creativity of the automotive world. It may be weird, but it's also wonderfully captivating.
The 1975 Citroën DS 23 is a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable cars are the ones that dare to be different. It's a rolling work of art, a fascinating piece of history, and an absolute joy to experience. We're thrilled to have this automotive icon in our collection, and we can't wait for you to join us on a journey through time and innovation as we explore the extraordinary world of the DS 23.
A devoted fan recently graced us with a stunning pair of classic Porsche 911 Turbos from the iconic 930 era. Among them, we were particularly captivated by the limited-edition beauty known as the LE (Limited Edition) and the instantly recognizable Slantnose variant.
It's fascinating to note that the Slantnose, characterized by its distinctive slanted front end, wasn't some aftermarket modification but a genuine factory design. It emerged as an alternative to the traditional frog-like front end of the 911. This deviation from the norm could be attributed to the popularity of pop-up headlights during the 80s and early 90s.
Our dedicated team embarked on a mission to painstakingly rebuild the physics for both these remarkable vehicles, ensuring they adhere to Porsche's exacting specifications.
The Limited Edition (LE) Turbo, introduced in 1990, marked the end of the 930 era. This car was destined to be a memorable send-off as Porsche transitioned to the new Type 964. Only 50 LE Turbos were ever built, making it an exclusive gem in the world of Porsches.
Porsche's Exclusive team at Zuffenhausen meticulously hand-finished a select batch of the last 3.3-liter, five-speed G50 gearbox-equipped cars. The LE Turbos boasted features that were typically optional extras, such as rear wheel air intakes, side skirts, and a front spoiler, reminiscent of the Type 935 Le Mans sports racers. Furthermore, a Getrag five-speed gearbox, already standard on the Turbo, was enhanced with a limited-slip differential for the LE version.
Under the hood, the 930 LE came equipped with a potent 330 bhp power unit, a substantial 30 bhp boost over the regular model, making it the most powerful variant built at the time. Customization options abounded, allowing buyers to select body colors from the standard range or even go for a color-to-sample option at an additional cost.
Inside, the choices were equally extensive, with the ability to select from various leather colors for the electrically adjustable seats. Leather extended to details like the handbrake gaiter, and the steering wheel followed the three-spoke design, akin to the original 1974 Turbo's, adorned with a gold Porsche crest.
The Slantnose, on the other hand, was produced in greater volume, with around 686 cars reaching different markets. Notably, this generation of 911 Turbo was accompanied by the Porsche 911 Turbo S (M505) and 911 Turbo SE (M506) on dealer showroom pricelists. The M505 models were also the first Slantnose version cars officially imported into the US. Production involved fitting pressed front wings/fenders that featured air-intake ducts above the pop-up lamps, followed by finishing in the Restoration and Repair Department in Werks 1.
M505 models retained the standard 930 front valance and the 3.3 Turbo motor with a catalytic converter. For some US states, the low-mounted, centrally positioned oil cooler was not permitted. Hence, these models featured an oil cooler mounted in the right rear wheel arch behind the air intake vent. Additionally, a few M505 cars were assembled by Alan Johnson Racing from factory-supplied kits in the US.
M506 models showcased the front-mounted oil cooler and a deeper air dam. Most of them boasted the 330bhp 930/66 Turbo S kit, with the exception of vehicles delivered to Rest of World (RoW) markets requiring a catalytic converter. UK market cars featured the 330bhp kit along with interiors sporting Special Wishes center consoles, while some RoW cars adhered to specific market requirements with Hella front side lamps.
Production numbers remain challenging to verify due to the absence of formal factory publications. However, the figures mentioned here are derived from original factory letters and extensive research conducted with esteemed contacts in the Porsche community.
Both the LE and Slantnose Porsches are remarkable pieces of automotive history, embodying the spirit of their era and the innovation that has made Porsche an enduring icon. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to explore and recreate these automotive gems, ensuring their legacy continues to shine brightly.

Mated to a precise six-speed manual transmission, this powerhouse allowed the GT3 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds.
What truly set the GT3 apart was its track-focused nature. It featured a rear-wheel-drive layout, a sport-tuned suspension, and lightweight components that helped it devour corners with precision. The GT3 was built for the racetrack but was equally thrilling on the open road.
Aerodynamics and Design
The 2007 GT3 had a distinctive appearance that conveyed its sporting intentions. It sported a large, fixed rear wing that generated substantial downforce. The front bumper had larger air intakes to feed cool air to the brakes and engine. The overall design was purposeful, emphasizing function over form.
Interior and Comfort
While the GT3 prioritized performance, it didn't ignore driver comfort. The cabin featured supportive and body-hugging seats, a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, and Alcantara accents. However, this was no luxury cruiser; it was a sports car that put the focus on the driving experience.
Legacy and Influence
The 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997) left an indelible mark on the world of sports cars. It continued the legacy of the GT3 line, known for its purity of driving and track-oriented capabilities. The 997 GT3 was a bridge between the analog driving experience of older 911s and the modern technology and performance found in later models.
Today, the 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997) remains a sought-after classic among Porsche enthusiasts. It's a reminder of a time when sports cars were more about the visceral connection between man and machine than lap times and electronic aids. It's a car that continues to evoke passion and excitement in anyone lucky enough to get behind the wheel.
Whether carving through a canyon road or tearing up the racetrack, the 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997) is a reminder of the pure joy of driving a high-performance sports car.
