    Edo Competition Porsche Carrera GT

    (from Edo Competition Press Release)

    A fiery passion that nobody can escape


    Introduced at the Frankfurt International Motor Show two years ago, the Carrera GT was the undisputed highlight of the event.

    This unbelievable excess of power and individuality is made by edo competition Motorsport

    Suspension

    The 3-way adjustable edo/KW Competition shock absorbers and sports suspension systems are designed for motorsports. For our 3-way adjustable shock absorbers we employ gas mono-tube shocks that are adjustable for compression and rebound (separate adjustments for low-/high- speed compression damping) and that feature a remote oil reservoir. The damping forces can be adjusted individually.

    Optionally we offer an electro-hydraulic nose lift system.

    Brakes

    edo competition high-performance brake pad set for ceramic rotors

    Wheels

    New wheel design: Set of 18 in. forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

    Front: 265/35 18, Rear: 345/35 18, with polished stainless steel outer rims and forged high strength aluminium inner rims

    Aerodynamics

    Carbon-fiber rear wing profile produces downforce for increased stability

    Interior

    Recaro leather sport seats, 6-point harnessesAll these modifications are performed at our headquarters in Ahlen/Germany only!

    What are Edo going to do when they've run out of current supercars to make better? Maybe they could work their way back through the years, Ferrari F50, 288GTO, Countach, Miura, Alfa Stradale, Duesenberg SSJ, Bugatti 57SC, Mercedes 60hp...

    I would like to seee them get their hands on a CCX though.

    The first and last pictures look more like chops in the first post.

    I hate it when they try to make it "look" like it's been tuned. Instead, they're just dumb chops. They might as well make it first. Showing me a chop proves nothing.

    I must be seeing things. Is this car sporting an actual race-like spoiler in some shots, and the factory spoiler in others?

    I don't think the huge wing in the first post first pic is real.

    But yeah, the rest of the car is real.

    To be fair, Edo tune their cars for track use, and on a track with over 700bhp, I think I'd want more downforce than Porsche supply as standard. I am glad they make it removable.

    It also could use a little body kit. If you know what I mean. Gemballa has a nice one the mirage GT. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/130/3...2e42c5b800.jpg

    I really like the way these guys work. Increasing characteristics so much for such cars. What is more, thay avoid those loosy bodykits.
