Replica of the winning RSR from the 1973 Targa Florio. Great looking, but it's a '78 SC with modern suspension and a 930-based turbocharged engine. Doesn't that sort of cancel out the point of the 2.8 NA car it really was?

welll....its not a replica.....its a tribute!!....and tributes have more artistic freedom...that being said a 930 based engine was cheaper to source I m sure..lol

it looks decent overall

Singer-Williams DLS

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...

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."
