Porsche 965 V8 - Secret Prototype
 
I heard about this car existing last week and thought it was interesting. It seems more details are available from Porsche about this unique prototype. Imagine if they had gone ahead with production...

About the reception I would expect. Intriguing that even Porsche thought of doing it and went so far as to build one to try out.

They could have gotten a hold of a small block Chevy for half the price of an Audi V8.;)

Yeah, Dieter is curling his digits out of pure enthusiasm. Would be a fun job to just talk Porsche all day eh?
