Default Werks Racing GT Engine

Hi guys I thought that I would put up a quick thread about our new GT engine that we are now launching across all of our markets. We've been test marketing and developing this in South America the last few months but we've had such great results racing with it and are starting to see interest in the GT class grow quite dramatically so we have decided to also offer the product in our other markets.

For those that may not be familiar with our company Werks Racing actually started off as a heavily on-road oriented company starting back in 2000. We were the first company to introduce 5 port .12 engines to the market, we were the Kawahara importer for the US and started the whole outlaw touring class thing with the 200mm Lola bodies, solid rear axles and multi port engines etc. We imported Collari and Picco engines as well as fielded the on-road racing team for Picco 1/8th cars for several years with the likes of Darin ishitani, Scotty Kimbrough etc. etc. driving for us. In addition we were really the first company to develop performance optimized high end racing fuel which we won the 1/8th on-road nationals with Kyosho's Joel Johnson running it along with several top racers like Josh Cyrul, Billy Easton etc. who won the Winter Nat's etc with it. So to say that we have a little bit of history in the on-road world would be a fair statement and after having been involved predominately with off-road engine development I was quite excited when we first started discussing this product!

So I'm very happy to introduce the new GT engine from Werks Racing! It's an 5 port EFRA and ROAR legal GT racing engine. We use a lightened, epoxy filled and triple tungsten balanced crank shaft for improved acceleration and vibration reduction. Along with this engine we have also released a new 2068 pipe set to match which offers exceptional performance across the board with excellent fuel economy. Combined at recent race events this has proven to be quite a dominate package exceeding the performance of most other offerings on the market at this time! I have attached a few snap shots of our new GT engine. If you have any questions or require any additional infromation please do not hesitate to ask!
