Pretty cool 928 wide body article
Sorry if it's a repost,
Looks like a corvette front end, but pretty nice nonetheless. Nice pictures!

Very cool! I like the body mod. I wonder if it was a DIY project. 550HP !?!?! I would like to know what kind of remapping they did....that's quite an increase. Direct port nitros to all 8 cyl? Dang, I guess that stuff is cheap over there.
The article was obviously translated.

It says it's a 1985, but the instrument cluster and console appears to be 1989. I'm not sure, if you can convert this easily. No pictures of the engine, no before pictures - so it's hard to tell.
I think the nose is too long and droopy. The side skirts are not in any way corresponding to the 928 shape. Somebody had an idea and forced it on the 928 - whether it fit or not.
To each his own, but it's not my cup of tea...

Well...
I'm not sure on this one.
At least it is properly blended.
It blends with the original body, instead of looking tacked-on.
But at the same time, I have to agree that it looks a litte pointy
and droopy, which is not really the classic 928 look.

Also, I am guessing that their HP estimations are based on the stock numbers, and then adding the 200HP the NOS claims to add.
300stockCHP+chips=350CHP+NOS200shot=550CHP.
Not really accurate, but again, it is good to see stock motors handling NOS and other power-enhancers.
