Default New 4-Valve Air Cooled Engine

You might want to look at my Instagram, @robertlinton1, for the latest information about the air-cooled, 4-valve, 4-cam, 4-liter, air cooled, naturally aspirated, high revving, lightweight, flat six engine that we have been developing. There are now three videos although the latest one was without sound. Should be a new one next week. Also, as you look at the 100 kph - 200 kph speed, bear in mind that the test car is an old and heavy 964 with no aero and old tires. The America GS is 1000 lbs lighter, has aero and performance tires.

And that's a heavy cab with no aero and old tires. Imagine with the America GS which weighs 1000 pounds less, has aero and the best tires!

It's one of my favorite instagram accounts. The attention to detail on every single component or every build is just incredible.

They are my friends. BTW, the next picture of them is, in their own way, joining the Army.

The "roar" referred to above. Thought you might like to hear the sound of the new engine on its first run. Though there are no plans to sell engines, it would fit into any air cooled 911.

Though Rennlist people do not seem to be interested in our new 4-valve, 4-liter, 4-cam, naturally aspirated air-cooled engine, tomorrow I will be put a new video (with sound) on my Instagram, @robertlinton1. After that I will not waste your time with such notifications. FYI, with new tires, the 100 KPH - 200 KPH time in the test car, an old 964 cabriolet, is down to 7.14 seconds. Of course, my car, the America GS, weighs 1000 lbs less than the test car, has aero, a far better suspension, better wheels and tires, etc.
