This was a unicorn car, one whose existence was previously only a rumour; a Porsche 911 fitted with a 1.5l V6 TAG Turbo Formula 1 engine where there should ordinarily be a regular Porsche flat six. Built as a testbed for the Porsche-developed, TAG-funded turbo engine that powered McLaren's F1 cars in the mid-80s, this unique Porsche has spent much of its life in a McLaren storage facility.

That is odd, try and click the first link to the French site and scroll down to the car in question. Click that link the French guy provided, it should get you there.

I lust after a rig like this, and I especially love the air cleaner.

No, it originally had some sort of plating, but I had it blasted and balanced, and it was starting to rust, so I cleaned it up again and painted it.
