Just when we thought we’ve seen everything done to classic Porsches, famous McLaren specialist Lanzante announces the production of a Porsche 930 Turbo fitted with real TAG F1 V6 engines. And we mean real ex-F1 race engines.

For years, there was this legend talking about McLaren fitting a Porsche 911 with the TAG Turbo F1 engine that later powered its F1 cars between 1984 and 1987. McLaren eventually showcased that car at its factory a few years ago, confirming the legend.

Fast forward to today, when Lanzante announced in an Instagram post that they got permission from McLaren Racing to build a further 11 cars, each with a TAG F1 engine that has actually raced in F1. Now imagine being able to say that your car is powered by an engine that has won an F1 race. It is simply insane.

.........rev-counter that has ‘TAG Turbo’ written on it and features a redline at 9,000rpm.

Oh, an a water temperature gauge as well.

TAG’s twin-turbo TTE P01 1.5-liter V6 engine was able to deliver over 1,000hp in qualifying spec according to some reports, but we still don’t know what kind of power it will make when nestled into the 911’s bottom or if the cars are going to be legal for road use. We reached out to Lanzante and we’ll update once we hear from them.

I wonder what sounds this little beast makes.
