Yes, it is.

I can show you the build sheet when the new engine went in in 1985.

Very special.

Low horsepower. Boy have times changed.

Yep. That things has almost the pwr/wt ratio of a Veyron !

On a side note Euro P-cars had a bit more hp. The 3.3 put out 300hp (and 320hp in Uber-rare Turbo S guise) if I recall correctly. Not having cats helped.

2023 911 Turbo - 572 HP.

Exactly my point on why this is much more interesting than yet another 2000 HP EV vaporware hypercar - performance (and fun) through light weight, not through gobs of power! I'm really glad such projects still exist to remind car manufacturers that there is demand for these sorts of cars.

F yes.

If I had the money I would have 4 of them.

An 1800 lb. 911.

Driving a true 911 fast is the biggest thrill there is.
