In time for the commencement of New Zealand’s 2014 Endurance Racing Season the International Motorsport R35 GTR has been revealed today.
Competition in Round One of the Origin Windows Endurance Series at Taupo will commence this weekend and looking more than impressive in every way, from workmanship to livery this GTR is on a competitive mission to snaffle good results prior to competing in the Highlands 101 South endurance event later in the year.
Sporting major modifications, the team at International Motorsport had been tasked with building the GTR just under 12 months ago and have worked around the 2013/2014 V8Supertourer season to prepare the R35 to its current specification.
Boasting an intricate list of upgrades and superior racing technology, the GTR is easily one of New Zealand’s most impressive road to race conversions.
