Wasn't the TAG/Porsche engine a 10 cylinder?

[Wil Ferch]

TAG/Porsche was a V-6....1.5 liter as I recall.....turbo

[svandamme]

i think i can make that fit in my 924
might need a tiny little bulge to clear the intake manifold, but not much...either way , i can live with it...

[Bobboloo]

Hey, I've got a lamp that would look good on that coffee table.

[Bobboloo]

Oops, let's try that again.

Constructed from the famous "unobtainium" metals and weighs only 60 pounds.

Hmm.. nice..

[blue72s]

If I remember correctly, 1.5 liter F1 turbo engines produced in the region of 1,500 horsepower on qualifying boost!

Actually Curt; that looks like a 928 engine -- I only see 4 intake ports on either side.

Here's a picture of the F1 engine.


By all accounts, using it as a coffee table was by far the best use for it.

could also be one of the Indy V8 blocks my guess would be 928 as well , that front extension looks 928 like

John,

Your picture is of a V12, a much later version of F1 than the TAG F1 (which is, as you can see in the original post, a V6 (just like the Audi A6).

Now then, didn't Porsche also develop a V10 for racing, which now resides in the Carerra GT?

Let's keep all of our Porsche V engines in perspective, guys.

[svandamme]

that F1 V10 would have been for Footwork , but they ended up broke and the project ended prematurely

then it was redeveloped for the LMP001 endurance proto ( but that's very hush hush and Porsche denies it ever existed




then just a few years later the CGT appeared with a V10

[Andras Nagy]

Hi Stijn,

You are The Man. You must read Auto- und Motorsport magazine. They are only ones who report thoroughly on matters-Porsche.

We once visited Rotterdam when I was living in Schweiz, and it is a nice place (away from the shipping docks).

[svandamme]

lol , i just sit way to much surfing the web while i should be working


Rotterdam , personally , i hate it with a passion , i'm flemish (belgian ), not dutch... can't wait to move back to my own country , where the country roads are less crowded... but not in a hurry for as long as the 911 is still in pieces
