    Why

    The patches are from Porsche. There are 2 numbers on the sku tag. MAP10400208 and WSR8090102S710

    Why put this engine in a 912. Because. Also it's a 4 not a 6. It hasn't been done it before. 30 plus people have already put one in a 356. It weighs about 100 lbs less and has about 6 inches less engine overhang than a 911. If I wanted a 6, I would have bought a 911 for a lot less. 911's are awesome cars. But I wanted to do something different. People have asked me my whole life why I do what I do. I have never felt the need to fit in. I have always asked why didn't someone do this before, in just about everything I've ever done. This car makes perfect sence to me. It will probally weigh around 2150 lbs up from 2078. It should make 2.4 E or S hp and torque with new car smoothness with full engine management. Be lighter in the butt end, and handle very nice. And at least for a short period of time, it will be the only one in the world.

    Play these utubes. Close you eyes and listen. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 911's have a wonderful sound. But for me the POLO engines sound is worth the price of admission.
