Starting it’s life as an Arena red Carrera 4S, the car was imported from Germany and rebuilt to a GT2 tribute 20+ years ago. It was Autotuning Råde which performed the rebuild.
Later the car was turned into a track car, before it was eventually converted back to a road-legal car around 2018/2019. There is not a lot of documentation of the build, or it’s track history, I have acquired this information by contacting the previous owners and asked them directly.
During my two years of ownership the main upgrades include fully rebuilt bbs E88 wheels, a carbon/kevlar ’98 spec Evo front bumper, and a ’98 spec Evo “banana” wing.
I also sent the car to the tuner for a remap and dyno run. It currently puts down roughly 480whp and 650+nm of torque to the wheels.
Car is approved in Norway with 435hp, but with a switch inside the coupe it can easily be changed to 480whp for track use.
In my ownership Autotech Sport has been carrying out the servicing of the car as well as Volden Racing for engine fine tuning.
As for service history there should be some, and I am researching this with previous owners as we speak.
Spec list from when i bought the car in 2024:

-4 Stages 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.5 Bar (separate switch to select this)
Though the car seems to be in good shape mechanically, there are some flaws that’s important for me to highligt.
- The paint has a nice patina to it and is far from a “show finish”.
- The front bumper was painted in my garage and would benefit from a proper respray.
- The interior is far from perfect as some of the lower dashboard is missing due to running full rollcage prior.
- The seats have a couple of small holes.
- Speedometer not working at the moment, and the interior carpet is not properly mounted.
- Steering wheel is changed but is worn
- Probaly other imperfections
The car also has a small misfire at the highest boost map(1.6 bar) and tuner recommend to change the coil to get rid of this problem. It runs fine at 1.2 bar now which should be around 400whp.
Front bumper is not perfectly lined up as often is the case with aftermarket carbon/kevlar parts. So the car has lots of small imperfections, but seems to be in pretty good mechanical shape which for me was the most important part when buying this car.
