Default 693HP in an R

German tuners have cranked up the horsepower in an F-Type R.

I don’t know about 21” wheels. Sounds like that would destroy ride quality but I’m all about everything else. Presumably KW would improve handling as well as stance, but it looks like appearances were the primary factor for that upgrade…I’d love for a company like this to create mods that prioritize handling over power and appearance, something Manthey-esque.

I wonder what max torque numbers the ZF trans can handle consistently?

The guys at Paramount / Viezu mentioned to me that 1000Nm is a safe level to run and IIRC, that's the level their Predator 2 setup is running. That's only one source mind you, but clearly there's plenty of cars out there running more than the supposed 700Nm 'limit' that seemed to be the conventional wisdom on the topic.
