DP Motorsports project sleeper 3.2

[HorstP]

DP is a well known company with good reputation. They would have no reason to claim anything they can't hold. So far I have sourced only one CF part from them, the tunnel cover. Excellent quality. Wallet permitting, it is tempting to get all the CF parts for the rear from them. Only thing is, I live in a city, the smallest hit even at a parking lot will be very expensive...

And I don't know, but with the rockers removed on impact bumper cars, in a profile view, they look like they're sucking in their gut.

More balanced from the other side with the ducts running there.
Aren't they on both sides?

I had the idea to do this on my G-model. Is this the results from only removing the rockers?

The oil lines only run on the right side. And yes, this is the result of removing the side rockers.

Bumping an old thread and an awesome car.

Does anyone know the color of this car? I didn’t see it in the articles. Also is there a US distributor for these light weight parts? They make the only fiberglass repro of the factory valance I’ve seen. I’d be interested in a set of those mirrors too.

The mirrors may be these from Ruf. I have them on my car and they are asymmetric.. https://ruf-automobile.de/en/product/ruf-sportspiegel-kit-2/

Hy Quewhy,

as far as i know, the colour is Felsengrün metallic (699).
You can also become the mirrors at dp motorsport. Here is a link:

I had these mirrors too. Mounted them on the little side window with one component adhesive.

Thank you. I had a feeling it was Felsengrün (what we call Granite Green) but it seemed lighter an with less green than other pictures of cars painted 699. Going back now and searching through images it seems that color is highly variable depending on lighting.


I found the parts catalogue here Porsche 911 G-Modell Karosserieteile one could go crazy with all those weight saving bits. I was more curious if there was a distributor in the US that stocked dp products.

Ian,
Thank you for the link to the RUF mirrors, they look similar to the ones from dp but are quite a bit more expensive.

Yes, color is 699. I tried emailing them a couple times but no response. I’m in Leverkusen often for work, I think next time I’ll just drop by.

I like this build by them but personally my favorite build they’ve done is the Superlight RSR. 850kg and 292hp iirc. And that Ti exhaust drool

I see what you mean, nearly half price! Wonder where the difference is? Are the DP ones asymmetric? Very happy with mine though, plenty of visibility and adjustment, plus a noticeable decrease in wind noise over the flags. As a result the car is much faster......

I saw that one too but I really like the way the sleeper 3.2 retained the stock G-body appearance while shedding so much weight. Plus the color is stunning. Maybe I’ll call them after the new year and inquire about how to obtain their parts.

I believe DP was the originator of this type of mirror, same with their lollipop seats.

And think that originally back in the day, if you bought a set of those mirrors, they threw in a 935 race car as well...

Lol, yes sir

My fave DP was always their 944 shooting brake, aka 2 door wagon. John
