An interesting combo here that looks pretty good. The price isn't cheap, but this machine clearly was built up to a fine standard.

A Protomotive tuned 2006 twin turbo 3.8 is dropped into the 1987 930 chassis and then draped in a 993 look widebody kit.

The seller is claiming 850 horsepower and 0-60 in under 3 seconds with a 210 MPH top speed. I'm sure this thing is fast, but I don't know about 200 MPH fast.

The transmission has thankfully been uprated to handle the power.
Monster 19"³x 14"³ rear wheels with 355/20/19 rubber fill out the wheel arches.

$75,000 ask price. Despite all the work that has gone into this car I suspect that this price won't be reached, you Porsche guys might have a better sense on the value of such a 'hybrid." Questionable vanity license plate not included.

That looks very odd to me :dont know:
 
I would seriously doubt both the 850hp and 0-60 in under 3 seconds. I am glad the transmission has been uprated but will the brakes stop it? :?:
 
that is NOT a 993 wide body rear - its way too fat
 
If you're going to wide and powerful, then only Rauh-Welt will do.

This video has a bit more of an interview with Nakai-san if anyone's interested :thumb:



BTW: Stella is the name of his modded 930 (I felt the need to make this somehow relevant to this thread :) )
