Custom Built Triposto - 911 Innards

Saw this in a Canadian paper, said it has a 83 2.7L enegine. I thought that 83 had 3.0L's? Anyway, looks nice.

Blueprinted Porsche horizontally opposed 6 cylinder air-cooled engine, 3.2 litre, 260+ hp

5-speed transaxle with Porsche Synchromesh Posi-traction

Limited slip differential

MOMO 20" Extreme wheels F: 8.5" R: 10"

Michelin Pilot: 255/35 ZR R: 285/30 ZR

Fully adjustable race tuned suspension (Bilstem shocks with coil over springs)

Adjustable carbon fibre front spoiler (driver remote control)

Aluminum fuel cell

13" brake disc all around

Double master cylinder with 4 piston brake caliper

Push button parking brake

Hydraulically activated single dry plate clutch with carbon fibre disc

Dry weight: 1000 kg (2200 lbs.) est.

Top speed: 276 km/h (170 mph) est.
