This is funny, I was reading Adrian's book last night and was looking over the THREE secretive pictures of the "GS" and thought to myself... Robert's car appears to be this one!!! The secret is out!!

Thanks for sharing, and please continue to show us its other gadgets - like the sunroof in the cabrio top!

Robert,

It's bad enough you keep showing us all thes delicious parts that we have little chance of obtaining without you teasing over the full history of your project.

I doubt if many of us feel that this story is too long for the forum.

Robert Linton

I and a rather large number of engineers, designers and stylists are guilty as charged.

I tend to agree Tony,

Without giving anything away if you so wished, we'd I'm sure all like to know the story, however long it may turn out to be.......

Yes, I'm with the other guys - tell the story, if you've got a chance....

John Boggiano

...and me.

How about making us some valve cover sets? That is something I (and a few others) am in need of... please! But not as expensive as the factory one... did I said please?

bhensarl

Ummm, I'd like to hear the story too, Robert. I do know how annoying it is to attempt to type a long story though, so I'll forgive you if you decline.

I wish I could do valve covers for you that were less expensive than the factory. Unfortunately, given the engineering to do metal, plastic or carbon fiber, the complex milling of billet metal covers, the molds that would need to be made for cast metal, molded plastic or carbon fiber, whatever I would do would be far, far more expensive than the factory -- lighter, certainly, better looking, beyond doubt, but totally useless from your point of view.

Amazing job, Beautiful, all the superlatives...
and yes I too would love to read the story.

Yeeees, but how many were NOT single?

CLUB MEETING INFO
June, 2004

June Monthly Meeting

Brandywine Porsche
Newton Square, PA
Robert Linton's - High Tech & Light Weight 964

Date: 30 June 04
Social begins at 7:30 PM
Meeting Begins at 8:00 PM

Do cast titanium uprights and carbon composite swing arms that fit your Porsche street car make you a bit curious? Does working with senior F1 designers and senior Porsche and other car manufacturer engineers to advance automotive technology sound interesting? Well, we have a special car and a special guest for our June Riesentöter meeting. Robert Linton set out to create the most advanced technology, lightest weight possible 964 - the America GS 3.8 Hardtop Roadster. The exotic components on this car were all made to the highest possible standard (in some instances exceeding even F1) to achieve a 500 kg weight reduction while simultaneously improving performance; yet this is not a striped race car, but a street car that achieves that weight with all the original Porsche luxury features including leather seats, air conditioning, stereo, steel doors with safety beams and carpet.

Our June Riesentoter meeting at Brandywine Porsche will be the first public unveiling of this car. Bob will share the story of how the car came to be, and how the project lead him to form a company named Cartridge, which today is supplying Porsche Racing with its latest carbon composite induction systems, aluminum and titanium suspension pieces, lightweight wiring harnesses, carbon composite oil tanks and numerous other items. The parts on the car, and the components Bob will discuss are some of the ones that have been displayed at www.rennlist.com; but very few people have ever had the chance to see. No matter what your interest is in Porsche cars, this meeting may be fascinating to you!
