^^ Good pics both you guys. I like the early green one with steelies.

Apparently there were Porsche tractors there!

An interesting collection of pics from 914_world

Its obviously 914 heavy, but some good stuff in there.

I have a few hundred pics from Rennsport, most of them detail shots to help me with mirror placement, funky details, etc. for future client builds.

I just liked the stance and color combo of the green LWB, the color of the funky 912 is Lido Gold, the survivor 911 (I never looked at the rear of the car so I'm assuming 911 because Fuchs) is sweet, the ST-look car was one of many and the interior of the yellow, psychedelic Larrousse TDF ST had a fantastic uncovered fiberglass mechanic's seat.

A friend went to Rennsport. Sent some phone pics.

Kids......356 #1 will be at Rennsport.......

(I've never seen pics of it with these odd wheel covers)

Debuting this weekend at Goodwood.

Singer, Williams, and Norbert Singer himself all helped design this car. I think the body shell is all carbon fiber. It's very light. The aero stuff on the roof is cool.

Some good gallery pics here...

Incredible of course, but 11k tach? Also, does the clock work?

:)

I'm thinking of snagging this one up, it's a 1980 911 with about 60k miles on it. No rust and paint body is good. Not perfect of course need little TLC, it used to be a targa converted to vert. Clean title. For 20k, what do you guys think?

Did a bit of research but prices are all over the place. For 20-23k is this a good entry point? R134A AC components are intact but not working and no leaks?

Never had Porsche before and I want to jump in, not sure if I'm going to like it so I don't want to lose much money if I decided to sell it.

'61 B Roadster made by a coach builder in Belgium. I never knew some of them were made in Belgium.

The actual conceptual design and initial design renderings were done by Daniel Simon. He's Automotive Design royalty and Syd Mead's heir apparent. You won't find public documentation due to corporate legalize, but he was an integral part of the Bugatti Veyron team.


Love this car, it's just nuts.

the oil cooler for that thing must be gargantuan

From Road & Track:

"...A 4.0-liter, air-cooled flat-six making an astonishing 500 hp without the help of turbochargers or superchargers or anything. This one was developed by Williams Advanced Engineering with the help of Hanz Mezger, the Porsche engine genius who developed the first 911 flat-six and all of the company's Le Mans-winning motors. Unlike most air-cooled Porsche flat-sixes, this one has dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. Those valves are made from titanium, naturally, and Williams used a lot of magnesium throughout, too.

"Oh, and it revs to 9000.

"At a quick glance, the bodywork looks like it could've come from a 911 RSR, but it's all bespoke to this car, made from carbon fiber. Williams worked on balancing the weight of this 911 as much as possible, moving the engine forward slightly and relocating other components to the front trunk."

"...Norbert Singer, the legendary Porsche Motorsport engineer who ran the company's Le Mans program for decades, helped with the aero."
