Unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2017, the Varis Magnum Opus Cooling Bonnet Hood represents a significant advancement in engineering from the famed Japanese aero parts manufacturer, Varis. Designed for the Nissan GT-R, this cooling hood is available in two high-performance materials: carbon fiber or Varis Semi-Dry Carbon Fiber (VSDC), both offering substantial weight savings and enhanced cooling. The carbon fiber version reduces the hood’s weight by approximately 3kg’s (~6 pounds) compared to the factory aluminum hood, while the VSDC version cuts an additional almost 2kg’s (~4.5 pounds) beyond the standard carbon fiber version, totaling more than 5kg’s (11 pounds) lighter than the original. Additionally, it features functional NACA ducts to improve air intake, making it a complete bolt-on replacement that enhances both performance and style. This hood is not only a statement of sophistication but also a piece of functional performance equipment for the discerning enthusiast.
Located in Kanagawa prefecture, near Mount Fuji, Varis is world-renowned for high quality and innovative racing-derived aerodynamics parts, body kits, and carbon fiber parts. With over 40 years of experience in composites, Varis brings an unrivaled dedication and artistry to their craft. Varis parts are engineered and hand made in house by craftsmen. They have been supplying aero parts to “Super GT” since around 1990 and “Super Taikyu” since 1998. Their expertise developed from these racing platforms and has since integrated into their commercial offerings. This includes improvements in aerodynamics, heat management, and the optimal balance between weight and durability in their commercial offerings. Varis remains committed to incorporating insights from their various racing collaborations into their products.
