Porsche 914 - 8 GTT, November '24 Update Options

[MATTYLITE]

Hello 914 community,

Just wanted to let you all in on a 914 build to remember. This car was initially thought out on a napkin sketch, and has slowly been coming to life. The idea behind this project is simple, how would Porsche go about creating a 914 cup car today? Well, hopefully when the build is done, it'll meet our racing derived expectations that only a manufacturer like Porsche could (re) produce.

Brief Technical Specs (will list more as the build progresses):
-1974 Porsche 914 fully assembled by MSDSinc.

-Cayenne V8 TT 5.0 litre, derived from 2010 Daytona Prototype engineering, built by Lozano Brothers Porting (1000 / 1100 whp)

-Porsche 996 GT2 Transmission, built by California Motorsports

Some of you may ask why, we asked why not?


Enjoy,
Matthew Schneider

Don't know why I started cleaning this, it'll be replaced with new sheet metal fit for the Cayenne TT engine

What the engine will 99.9% look like when finished, and yes this is the 2010 Daytona Prototype (and Cayenne V8 all motor) winning car that you were just trying to remember.

My philosophy is "Built not bought" so although some of these procured parts are pricey, I'm still ahead with my dollars by putting it all together. Anyone want to guesstimate what Ruf, Singer or Patrick would roll one of these out of their shops for ?!!
And then there is the fun factor of that first push on the start button + waking this monster up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
