The SUV was conceived as a complementary piece to Hill's GT2. To this end, it received the all-black treatment and performance mods which include GMG/ GIAC management software and GMG diverter valves, along with a set of BMC sport air filters for improved induction. The rest of the car flaunts a full detail of Cargraphic accoutrements, including a full exhaust, a suspension lowering module, and an array of body components: lower front spoiler with integrated driving lights, fender flares, a rear lower valance, and roof spoiler. GMG also added a couple of subtle touches like smoked taillights and tasty European side markers.
Beneath this muscular black steed, GMG installed Brembo Gran Turismo brake assemblies with the big yellow calipers, front and rear. The fronts boast eight-piston clamps and 15-inch cross-drilled rotors. Braided stainless lines and Pagid sport pads were all part of the deal. The task of caging these massive binders fell to a quartet of 22-inch Cargraphic Sportline wheels, 9 inches wide up front and 11.5 in the rear, the centers of which have also been painted in Seal Gray.
The interior sports Porsche's panoramic roof option and a full carbon-fiber trim package, along with a multimedia system upgrade from Reus Systems, including DVD capability and LCD screens integrated into the front-seat headrests. And don't be silly-of course the system is PlayStation compatible.
The black GT2 and Cayenne are only the beginning. Hill recently took delivery of a black Cayman S to split daily driving duties with the Cayenne, and by the time we go to press, it will have received a similar performance breakdown at GMG HQ. And, of course, Hill remains vigilant in his search for the next addition to his collection. Given his recent successes, the stratosphere would appear to be the limit.
The Crown JewelNo modern Porsche fanatic's collection would be complete without a Carrera GT. When Brian Hill bought his, it wasn't something he had necessarily planned on, but the opportunity presented itself and... well, you know how it goes. Some deals are too good to pass up.
When these pictures were taken, the car was still pretty much bone-stock, but you'd be foolish to believe GMG wasn't busy working on performance enhancements for Porsche's supercar, as well. In fact, GMG prides itself on being an independent service facility for Carrera GT owners in Southern California. The company numbers more than 10 of these cars which are currently under its care.
Initially, GMG has teamed with the computer wizards at GIAC to offer performance software for this application. There's also an available exhaust system from Cargraphic, and GMG is busy working with other suppliers to offer further performance bits (among them a carbon-fiber flywheel).
Even with the planned performance mods in place, Hill will likely save the GT as his dessert car, driven on special occasions only. There aren't many places he trusts to leave it parked, and as he says, people just don't leave you alone when you're driving it. We know the feeling (yeah, right).
