Ohio-based aftermarket tuner Switzer Performance loves beastly engines and it mostly works its magic on the Porsches. This time around, Switzer thought about taking a gamble with the Nissan GT-R after a GT-R owner demanded Switzer to increase his commuters’ power-to-weight ratio. Switzer obliged by heavily cutting down on the weight and increasing the power. The specific P800 package used for the Nissan GT-R included new intercoolers, air intakes, turbochargers and exhaust along with a new spoiler and sports seats. The package worked its magic to reduce the overall car weight by 200 pounds while increasing the pony count by 300 to reach 800hp.

You need to be an extreme racing enthusiast to park one of these into your garage. Tym Switzer’s 800hp Nissan P 800 GTR is one such variant that thrives on race-gas to clock those magical timings but you need to be prepared to strain the driveline a bit for such is the impact of the gas that powers the car.

The P in the name actually symbolizes the package as a daily use one meaning that it is an 800hp car that can be driven daily but then nothing can be done about people who prefer no limits. For that kind of a lot the R package has been used and this R refers to the race fuel. With this gas in the tank the numbers obviously sore to 850 hp and 820 lb-ft torque but the driveline loss is about 15%.

This latest R package will be priced at $20,990, and it includes pump gas and race fuel tunes, as well as Switzer’s updated cooling package that features a dual-core radiator, thermostat and revised Switzer MONSTER intercoolers.

It was Tym Switzer that made the Porsche GT2 based P-800 churn 800 horses under the hood and now the same tuning party has taking their scissors to the AWD Porsche 911 Turbo also recognized as the 997TT. As the consequence, the engine power has been kicked up from the standard 480 hp to the 800hp bracket which means that this car can now pelt from 0 to 60mph in less than 3 seconds. The P800 kit (GT2 Based) that finds a place in the 997TT has evolved from the SLEDGEHAMMER project car that ran in the 9s last year. The difference was that it was a race package which was evolved into a street package by maintaining the Factory DME.

Other than the power upgrade, the kit involves custom GT30 turbos that come with custom billet compressor wheels on ball-bearing center sections in lightweight stainless housings. Also, there are custom intercoolers and special software that takes care of the ECU, racing style exhaust and headers and an upgraded carbon clutch package with electronic boost control. If you possess the 997TT, you can ask for the package right away from a Switzer Performance dealer.
