Here is part II


Porsche Cayman cut in half for your viewing pleasure!













356 B? Not sure (no info plaque). I know it's gorgeous looking though! Sorry that the first shots are a little overexposed. I used a high ISO sensitivity rating and forgot to tone it down for this shot with a lot of artificial light above...









1960 Porsche Typ 718/2 Formula 2 Racing Car (left) and 1962 Typ 804 Formula 1 Racing Car (right)








1962 Typ 804 Formula 1 Racing Car










1983 Porsche 929 "Study Group B"











In the automotive world we call this a "car-gasm"...



2003 Porsche Carrera GT "Testcar"












1969-1970 Porsche 917 16-cylinder engine. Porsche wanted to participate in the Can Am series in America and needed a powerful engine to compete with the American V8's with generally 750-horsepower+. This 16-cylinder boxer engine was developed particularly for this racing series and developed 900-horsepower. But at the same time, Porsche also developed a lighter 12-cylinder boxer engine with 1,000-horsepower. Thus, this engine was never used in motorsports.





Oh yeah!



1984-1986 McLaren TAG Porsche. The engine you see in the last two shots is the 900-hp 1.5-l engine!








1989 Porsche CART Indycar





1988 Porsche CART Motor




1970 Porsche 908-3 engine

BRAVO! I'm going to need to repay this through a visit to the Bill Harrah collection... Sometime around Silvester.

Was this the aftermath of being passed by a Corvette C6? I mean, I've heard of the scoops sucking doors off and all.

Nope. A couple of kids with a chainsaw did that.
