Purpose-built for the Nürburgring VLN endurance series, this build balances top-speed stability with nimble handling. The stretched chassis and wide track provide planted cornering, while the aerodynamic package manages heat and downforce for sustained pace. The lowered suspension and wide, sticky tires deliver confident grip through the varied circuit sections.

Wheelbase stretched 90mm by rear axle relocation
Front fenders extended 100mm with trapezoidal box flares
Rear arches widened 130mm with integrated brake cooling vents
Cabin shifted 70mm rearward for improved weight distribution

Multi-plane front splitter with dual 100mm upward dive planes
Dual vertical radiator inlets integrated into front bumper
Rear hatch dorsal NACA duct for transaxle cooling
220mm rear diffuser with triple vertical strakes and horizontal shelves
Adjustable dual-element GT rear wing mounted on 850mm pylons

The aerodynamic strategy integrates a multi-plane splitter with upward dive planes to generate front downforce and manage airflow under the car. Dual vertical radiator inlets improve cooling efficiency, while a dorsal NACA duct on the rear hatch extracts heat from the transaxle area. The rear diffuser and adjustable dual-element wing create balanced rear downforce and low drag, crucial for endurance racing pace and stability.

OZ Racing forged wheels 19x11 front, 19x12 rear
315/30/19 ultra-high performance tires
Lowered ride height by 70mm for track stance

Forged OZ Racing wheels sized 19x11 front and 19x12 rear accommodate 315/30/19 performance tires, delivering a broad contact patch and precise feedback. The wheel setup supports the widebody stance and is engineered for endurance durability, balancing weight and strength for track demands.

The stance is aggressively low and wide, with the ride height dropped by 70mm and fenders flared to fit the oversized wheels and tires. This wide track and lowered center of gravity enhance cornering capability and stability at speed, transforming the SUV’s bulk into purposeful racecar proportions.

Front-mid mounted engine with upgraded cooling ducts
Sequential six-speed gearbox with paddle shifters optimized for endurance
Supplementary brake cooling via roof intake ducting and sidepod radiators

The engine remains front-mid mounted, paired with a sequential six-speed gearbox featuring paddle shifters for rapid, endurance-optimized shifts. Cooling enhancements include dual vertical radiator inlets feeding side outlets and roof intake ducting to sustain performance during long stints. These systems ensure stable thermal management under prolonged track conditions.

The drivetrain retains the Pilot’s AWD layout, refined for circuit endurance with relocated rear axle to stretch the wheelbase and improve stability. Brake cooling is augmented through sidepod radiators and roof ducting, supporting consistent stopping power. The sequential gearbox enhances shift speed and reliability over extended sessions.

Carbon fiber hood with 500mm x 80mm central vent and concave airflow channel
Rear hatch shortened by 80mm creating prototype-style fastback profile
Box flare fenders constructed with squared trapezoidal geometry
Integrated air extraction vents angled at 45 degrees on rear quarter panels
