Get Ready for a Thrilling Ride: The Unbelievable Supercharged Merc V12-powered BMW Z4 GT3 Street Car

BMW Z4 GT3 

Buckle up, car enthusiasts! You're about to dive into the wild world of automotive modifications with a jaw-dropping creation from Florida-based tuner, Gooichi Motors. They've dedicated eight months to transforming a beast of a BMW Z4 GT3 race car into a street-legal monster. And guess what? It now boasts a massive V12 engine. Because, well, why not? In the world of car customization, there are no limits. As they say, the only thing to fear is fear itself.

The original Z4 GT3 came equipped with a 4.0-liter BMW V8 engine, but Gooichi Motors decided to throw conventional wisdom out the window. They swapped it out for a supercharged Mercedes-Benz M120 engine, taking inspiration from the legendary V12 used in Silver Arrow's M154 race car from the late '30s. Their mission? To turn the Z4 into a modern reincarnation of that iconic racer.

Surprisingly, the chassis didn't require extensive modifications to accommodate the new powerhouse, sliding in with remarkable ease. This might not be shocking when you consider that the Z4's hood stretches longer than London Bridge itself. However, what truly astonishes is the power goal – the Gooichi team is aiming for a staggering 1,500 horsepower. That's more than three times the factory version and an entirely new level of "terrifying."

But don't worry; the driver is in control. They can adjust the boost levels to dial down the horsepower for everyday driving or unleash the full 1,500 horses for a jaw-dropping show. To harness this beastly power, a six-speed sequential transmission has also been seamlessly integrated.

Inside, the Z4 retains its racing pedigree with MOMO bucket seats and a roll cage. However, it's been given a fully upholstered dashboard to add a touch of comfort. Admittedly, you'll find more switches and tech in a Dacia Sandero, but that's a small price to pay for this level of performance.

The endurance race tank has made way for a 53-liter conventional tank, situated in the boot area. But the iconic racing filler cap entry point, located towards the mid-rear of the car, has been preserved. It's not just about power; Gooichi Motors has thought about passenger comfort too, reinstituting a passenger seat with some clever reconfiguration above the side exhausts.

Hours of meticulous craftsmanship have gone into rebuilding the body. The carbon front splitter has been finely tuned to give the Z4 a more aggressive look, while ensuring it can handle speed bumps. It's complemented by a massive air intake visible behind it. Most of the exterior panels are crafted from a blend of carbon and fiberglass, staying true to the original parts.

One unique design touch that's bound to turn heads is the badge – a fusion of the Mercedes-Benz star and the iconic BMW logo. It's an audacious move that speaks volumes about this car's identity. And let's not forget the Petronas green accents that nod to the car's connection with Mercedes' racing heritage.

The Gooichi Motors' modified Z4 GT3 is set to make waves at SEMA 2023, cementing its place among the most remarkable builds. Are you ready to welcome this automotive marvel into your wildest dreams? Buckle up, because this is a ride you won't want to miss.
