2017 Zenshi Grandea GT-R
Zenshi’s ZMD once again returns with something crazy: A next-gen high performance version of the Grandea, the Grandea GT-R.
Compared to the previous Grandeas, which relied on a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 motor, called the VS30DA2T, this generation marks the first time the GGT-R utilizes an Inline-6 motor since the 2nd generation in 1986. The Inline-6, which is a variant of the LZ4-ACE, known as the LZ4-ACE R, powers the track-focused premium sports coupe. Power figures aren’t final, but the engine has the potential to generate between 560 to 600 HP.
The SM-AWS system used on the AWD versions of the regular Grandea has been extensively modified for use in this vehicle. using a 40:60 F/R torque split ratio, the recent track test results of the GGT-R has reported a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 186 MPH (300 KM/H).
Upon looking at the bodywork of the Grandea GT-R, one can clearly see the hardcore aerodynamic elements it possesses. The impressive aerodynamics allow for the car to stay put on the ground while going through the track like crazy.
The Grandea GT-R was, as usual with Zenshi performance vehicles, places heavy emphasis on the driver, exterior wise, and interior wise as well. Standard features inside include leather sports bucket seats, 6-Speed Manual Transmission, active AWS control, 7-inch multifunction display, and dual zone climate control. Optional equipment includes a 6-Speed Avantec Transmission with paddle shifters, power tilt and telescopic steering, alacantara bucket seats, and an “AccuTec” system that enables a telemetry system in the multifunction display.
The Grandea GT-R is expected to be priced around $92,000 in base spec level. It will hit the showroom floor sometime around Q3-Q4 2017.
