Its neat, but still requires air reservoirs or similar, why not go to an electrical solenoid operated system, and negate more hardware still, surely this is more responsive, more configurable, and lighter??
Could you post a photo of the gauge cluster in your 930 slantnose with the ignition turned to the right so that everything is lit up? I am really curious to see/know if anything shines through the leather or is it all external bulbs like the boost gauge?
Just read through this thread, very interesting project!
I'd love to have the carbon air box and filter housing, well actually the whole engine!
It would interesting to get an idea of the cost of all the development work. knowing this was a special 964 right from the beginning and obviously very valuable, all of these specially designed one off parts must make this the most expensive 964 on the planet!
some years have passed and all "America Roadsters" are found now for TL-R. Finally i could verify the America GS as a real "America Roadster" - 964 650

It is No. 270 of 326 cars and the very last for MY. 1992 (so there is a partial truth in Adrian Streathers book)
This Might Be The Greatest Air-Cooled 911 Droptop Ever Made
Allow me to introduce the 'America GS.' It's a one-of-one car built by Porsche Exclusive back in 1992. It might just be the greatest drop top of the air-cooled era, and when you see the list of modifications, you'll understand why. The original owner Robert Linton has continued to develop and upgrade the car. I could find no original photos of the engine bay, but many taken after some upgrades. All work was completed at Cartridge Limited in Manhattan.
A quick rundown of the technical specs:
·400 hp and 900kg. Same power to weight ratio as a Carrera GT.

The America GS 3.8 Hardtop Roadster was built a few years after Dr. Porsche's 80th birthday present, the Panamericana. With that extra time, Herr Lagaay (H. Lagaay, retired Chief Stylist of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG) was able to devise a different exterior color, multi-color hand silk-screened primary leather, accent secondary leather, colored seat belts and zipper for the America GS — which he (and I) thought more than successful than the Panamericana.
Our latest 4 liter, 2 valve engine was shipped to Germany this week to begin advanced testing and to upgrade the ECU to the latest available. After the results are seen, the 4 valve will be considered.

Would the 4 valve design considered have air or water cooled heads?
