Very Nice!!! Lots of time and money have been poured into this build. Interesting front suspension setup too?
The whole thing looks very clean. Do you know any of the engine details?

[mikepellegrini]

Jesus, that's insane!

That is one badass ride. I love it.

I wonder though, how the WG tie in is going to effect the overall flow of the exhaust from the pic it looks like the WG may impede the downpipe flow

engine is a true 968 engine that has been sleeved for extra strength. turbocharger is a 76-1 garrett. it made almost 600hp on a preliminary test dyno at 15psi.

the front control arms are custom. i'm considering getting a set of those myself, as they are a stock fit for the 951 and much stronger with more adjustments. they'll also allow you to fit even wider/deeper wheels.

all work was done locally.

Holy **** !

Details.......I want details!

For Sale?

[nize]

hahah what details do you want? obviously it's a competing race car designed to win some trophies but i'll answer as many questions as i can.

it's not for sale.

[ae1969]

Any of the pieces for sale? Or are they one time creations?

[nize]

any of the pieces can be duplicated if the demand is there. anyone want a group buy for the control arms?

they've proven their worth for over 7 years on another trophy-winning race car (the red 951 in the background). probably overkill for a street car, but this would definitely be one of those parts that will easily outlast the rest of the car.

what other pieces are you interested in?

[ae1969]

Sure... a group buy on all the suspension pieces. Front and Rear.

you can get the shocks from moton;

cockpit-control height/stiffness/ride adjustable, etc.

Wow..... That sucker must be LIGHT. Have they weighed it yet, or have any guesstimates on it's weight?

[mikepellegrini]

Is this an actual RS or is it just made to spec starting with a normal 968?

There were what? Only a half-dozen or something real ones built.

Either way, it's awesome as all get out.

And nice pix, Nize!

[nize]

haven't weighed it yet so not sure on the weight. i'll post up when the weight is known.

this is a regular 968 built to the turbo RS spec (and then some). there were only 4 actual 968 turbo RS made from the factory.

[333pg333]

76-1 sounds pretty big. I'm too lazy to search. What would this compare to size and spec wise. Is the car still 3L or have they been allowed to increase capacity? Any torque figures or dyno charts? I'd like to see more pics of those A-arms from different angles. The rear diffuser looks interesting too although more of a one off, cut and fab type thing.

[blown 944]

Patrick, that turbo would look like ST's last dyno on a 3 liter but probably will be over 700hp.

I have the compressor wheel and housing on the shelf but have been afraid to build this one for fear of blowing up my engine. Coming from me know that's saying something

The inducer is bigger than most exducers on that wheel.....BIG

[nize]

the engine is still 3 liters.
no released dyno charts yet.
i'll see if i can get more details of the a-arms and rear spoiler.

they're actually not looking at making big power, they're more interested in longterm reliability as one of the events they compete in is a 4hour enduro race.

i forgot to take pics of the trick gas cap they have. it allows quick refuel and self-shuts.

Something I don't understand...... A no expense spared build with motons, fuel cell fire supression, custom cage, one off a-arms and they used 968 M030 sways with stock rubber? Please tell me they're not done with the suspension and are at least considering Tarrets.
