Typ 1966 - The 911 Replacement That Never Was...

Not that long ago, I got this book for my birthday...

https://www.murdochbooks.com.au/browse/books/lifestyle/The-Complete-Book-of-Porsche-911-Randy-Leffingwell-9780760365038

In it, there is a minor mention of a flat-eight, mid-engined, three seater (centre driving) position replacement for the 911. It was supposed to arrive in 1972 or 1973!

I never heard about this before... Anyone have any extra information (or better yet, photos) of the prototypes?

Edit: Not a technical discussion topic, sorry... Not sure where else to post a question like this...!

That does sound like something Herr Piech would create...

Gordon Murray must have read that book before he created the McLaren F1 road car...
