Porsche Carrera GT 2003-2006

Here’s the bare carbon chassis. Most people assume the chassis was built by Porsche but in fact it was built by an Italian company called ATR Composites Group which specializes in composite parts.

The V10 engine on the other hand was all Porsche. The development of the Carrera GT can be traced back to the 911 GT1 and LMP1-98 racing cars. Due in part to the FIA and ACO rule changes in 1998, both designs had ended. Porsche at the time had planned on a new Le Mans prototype for 1999. The car was initially intended to use a turbocharged flat-6, but was later redesigned to use a new V10 engine, pushing the project back to planned completion in 2000. The V10 was a unit secretly built by Porsche for the Footwork Formula One team in 1992, but later shelved. The engine was resurrected for the Le Mans prototype and increased in size to 5.7 liters. Unfortunately the project was canceled after two days of testing for the first car, in mid-1999, mostly due to Porsche's wish to build the Cayenne SUV with involvement from Volkswagen and Audi, thus requiring engineering expertise to be pulled from the motorsports division. It was also speculated that VW-Audi chairman Ferdinand Piëch wanted Audi's new Le Mans Prototype, the Audi R8 not to face competition from Porsche in 2004.

Porsche 911 (type 953) Paris-Dakar 1984

Heres the original Paris-Dakar 911. I didnt know it actually had a new designation but it makes total sense since this was a prototype.

The 953 was a heavily modified variant of the 911, designed and built specifically to compete in the 1984 Paris–Dakar Rally. It was a short lived model, as it was replaced in 1985 by the 959. It is sometimes referred to as the 911 4x4, as it used the developmental, manually controlled four-wheel drive system that was intended to be used on the 959. Naturally it had an extremely enhanced suspension, was powered by a 300 bhp (220 kW) naturally aspirated flat 6, and weighed in at 2,750 lb (1,247 kg). It was extremely successful with one of the three entered taking overall first place.

Looks awesome! Bombing through some dirt roads must be sick in that thing!

Porsche 911 (993 series) GT2

Without a doubt my all time favorite 911!

Porsche 944 Turbo (951) 1989

Bought this car from the original owner back when I was in college. Was in good shape for a daily driver but being a Florida car and having been left outside all its life the paint was baked. I repainted in the original Guards Red and at the same time fabbed the fixed headlights starting with a fiberglass center panel with the intercooler duct molded in and cutting the holes for the four PIAA lights. Also added the splitter, 18” Kinesis K-10 wheels, and a ton of engine work including ported and o-ringed head, bigger turbo, 3” exhaust, Split Second fuel management, and adjustable turbo boost among many other things. Also painted the mirrors white to emulate the Daytona 24 hour cars (used to differentiate identical cars in teams with two or more cars painted the same) there was supposed to be a white banner across the top of the windshield but I never got around to it before selling it.

Porsche 968 Club Sport

I actually forget what year this was. I want to say its a 1994 but Im really not sure. I got this after my RS2 was stolen right outside my window. Of course Murphys law came along and they found my RS2 basically intact (minus the door lock and stereo) right after I bought this. In any case...fantastic car. Low on power but the chassis was awesome.
