New 4-Valve Air Cooled Engine
You might want to look at my Instagram, @robertlinton1, for the latest information about the new 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.

Very cool. please share more pics here.

I have been following on Instagram. Quite the impressive project!
|
Thank you.

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.

Just curious, I understand these are not available for purchase. What do you think they would cost if they were available for purchase? |
We have not added it up, but the guess is north of $200,000. Its expensive but inexpensive compared to buying a restomod for 9 or 10 times that. Also, it would fit into any of the restomods.

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.

Completely interested in reading about it if you post a condensed version with details here. Maybe I'm not good at instagramming but I see some photos mixed throughout other various things and not much technical information.
|
During the next six months of testing, we should accumulate quite a bit of data.
P.S. Going to Instagram is easier than going to Rennlist. |
Would love to read more about it. Please post whatever you're willing to share.

To me, reading a thread about the topic is easier than looking for tidbits through pages of car parts, watches, luggage and cats. :) |
That sounds insane. Do you have more information and some photos?
|
Anyone has the right to disagree and to each their own.
|
TDW993: there are as few photos on Instagram and more will be coming.
