Default Cayenne/928 engine swap

I remember some debates on this a few years ago and reading that it would not be feasible. Can't remember if that was due to costs or simply the fit. In any case I have it on good authority that there is such a 928S4 with a Cayenne TT V8 running around Paris France. I'm waiting for more info on this but in the meantime does anyone here know about any swaps?

You mean like the jet engined 928?
or maybe the stretch 6-wheeler 928?
the 928 drag car perhaps?
the chrome 928?
the 928's with corvette engines?
the 4-wheeler 928?
the convertible 928's?
the electric 928?
the biofuel 928?
the 6.4 liter 928's?
the supercharged 928's?
the turbo 928's?
the wide body kit 928's?
the gullwing door 928's?
all the 928 race cars?



Oops! I forgot a couple:
the 928 station wagon?
the 928 VW Golf?

Since Carrera GT V10 has very low oil pan its very likely it would be much easier to install into 928 than Cayenne V8. No matter if V8 is NA or TT.

The only CGT engine I have heard of being for sale guy was asking a whopping $80,000. At that price who cares if it fits.

Like so many possibilities with the 928 in the last 7 years it's no longer a question of unlikely, the car exists. What I'm waiting on now are the mechanical details and cost figures. I'll post soon as I get that stuff.

So how big a motor can you fit in the back hatch once you take out the fuel tank and the battery box?
