What year is the last of the cup cars with the legendary Mezger engine? Is it a 3.8 or 4.0 L?

991.1 Cup with 3.8 is the last with the Mezger block...I believe the last model year is 2015...maybe 2016

Last 4L Metzger in a 2014 997R.

Dempsey has one available at the moment for $300K.

I thought all the GT America's were '14's. Also believe there were more than 5.

Ones I know of:
Weather tech (think they had two, one as a backup)
Alex job (team car to weather tech)
Dempsey
NGT
Parkplace
Muhelner (two cars)
Magnus
Konrad (might have been a conversion from a normal cup)

They came delivered from Porsche with a 3 ring 4.0l based on the street 4.0RS. Sometime during the '15 season they switched to the R based 2 ring engine. There were also body work, suspension and aero updates as they went along. Pretty cool cars for sure.


They made 5 '14 GT3R's I think. Would be interesting to know which '14 model car (the GT america or the 3R was built last) I'm guessing the R since the gt america's were delivered in '13 before Daytona.

In 2015 and 2016 PMNA issued five high-output 4.0L Metzger Andial tribute 997 cup cars to honor its acquisition of Andial and the retirement of the Andial principals. These were the last motors built by Andial in Santa Ana. The cars were painted with historic liveries:
Valvoline
Coke
Miller
Lowenbrau
BF Goodrich

There was really 5 2015 cars! leaving factory with the upgrades requested on 2014 cars already installed, like the Megaline paddleshift instead of the Shiftec.
