From the March 2011 issue of Super Street magazine: Two builds from the one-stop shop for Japanese performance enthusiasts in the UK.
banger! What we have in store for you today are two outrageous builds from England's world-famous Sumo Power. In one corner we have a hyper-wildprepped for battle in the FIA's premier GT series GT1. While each car is built on a different budget and used for different purposes they both pack a serious kick to the bollocks under the bonnet.
Most recently, the S15 smoked its Pirellis all the way to first place in the 2010 EDC final round at Snetterton thus proving the guys at Sumo Power aren't just some mad twats selling you parts in the mail but rather know a thing or two about building a JDM drift machine. Unfortunately, the win in the final round was only good enough for third place overall, narrowly missing second by a single point and thirteen points behind the season champ.
Although Sumo Power welcomes any and all types of cars in their shop they tell us the most popular tuning vehicles they see areand Nissan GT-Rs with the R35 gaining in popularity recently. They haven't said anything about it but I have a feeling that the pair of FIA GT1 GT-Rs that are housed in the same facility might have a little something to do with their increasing customer base.
But before we get into the nitty-gritty let's take a moment to drop one in the loo and enjoy the amazing bodywork of this GT-R. The first thing you'll likely notice in the all-carbon-fiber NISMO body are all the openings waiting to suck, push, scoop, divert, expel, diffuse, manipulate and abuse surrounding airflow.
There's no doubt about it, every aspect of this car is built to be competitive in the highest level of motorsport. It takes a lot of quid to go racing, but money alone won't get you wins. It takes a whole team of people working together to overcome obstacles and success doesn't happen overnight although it nearly did for Sumo Power.
