We've been teasing it on our social media, but CSF is excited to now officially announce our new project car for 2021, to debut at SEMA in November – the #CSF911
The Project
In an effort to showcase
CSF’s expanding range of Porsche air-cooled oil coolers + continuing our deep passion for Porsche project cars, the owner of CSF has decided to throw his hat in the ring for the best Porsche build of the year. Coming off his
1,000whp 1/2 mile 991 Turbo S, and his
RUF conversion 996 RTurbo, Ravi Dolwani, owner of CSF, has decided to go back through the pages of Porsche history with this unique 911 backdate – 73 RSR style with a modern twist.

The Plan
Simo decided to take on building the CSF911 under one condition–the design process would be a mutual collaboration between himself and owner of CSF, with the ultimate goal of building the most fascinating Porsche 911 backdate ever to be created. A perfect blend of classic style, inspired by early 1970s RSR race cars of the past, mixed with materials, technology, and innovation from 2021.
The beginning of this journey started on Janaury 1st, 2021 with the enlistment of famous automotive designer Jon Sibal, brought on as the critical third partner to kick off the design–now being used as the roadmap by SV Auto to bring this vision to reality.On January 4th, the team at SV Auto started from scratch and began tearing down a 1982 911SC to bare metal. No details will be overlooked, no corners will be cut.
We’ll be diving into the details of the 3.9-liter, naturally aspirated, 400+ horsepower custom-built engine and drivetrain sourced from SSF’s complete catalog of Porsche OEM and high-performance parts. We are using parts from the top manufacturers in the world including pistons from Mahle Motorsports, a modified G50 transmission from Patrick Motorsportswith a shortened bellhousing to fit the G-body Porsche 911, a high-performance Sachs Motorsports Clutch, and all the way up into the cabin with a CAE Billet Shifter, just received from the UK.
