Nope - the car is just a "SEMA Special" - a one-off custom car that showcases the maximum capability of a particular company.

Actually....
It is an HPA, and they did build a few twin turbo R32's and sold them, so, i would not be shocked if HPA goes ahead with this one, tho the power might be a little bit in the more stable area.
It will be seen...

Taking off the badge shaves off 300lbs of weight, so that's why they took it off.
