Thanks so much for sharing!

Amazing car.

I wonder though why the owner went for that (I guess) very expensive work of modifying the bodywork to get that raked windscreen and has not, for example, gone for smaller mirrors or a small front license plate.

Are there any side pictures (to check that raked screen profile)?

Great shots.

Cheers.

Don't like the looks of that hood and the integration of the windshield with the body,looks like a rear hatch glass granted at the front.,and that wiper uff.,well each one its own.

It is not done for looks it is done for aerodynamic functionality, the red rocket was tested at 221mph in 1997 using a Behr intercooler, this car with Secan can likely maintain its power for even greater speeds....

In our heavily speed limited countries it is hard to appreciate just how fast Porsche drivers actually do drive in Germany on a daily basis and this "need" produces some interesting solutions....

Lol..... just noticed your signature: "800hp"

Thanks for the link. That is an awesome thread; the only problem is that the picture of Jussy's car after the mod is gone .

And thanks for uploading the Porsche World article on the RS tuning car. Those are the mirrors I had in mind (935 style).

Cheers.

He was pushing boundaries that he didn't realise were there..... Would be good to know what happened, it had a 9M (Ninemeister) intercooler fitted the last time i heard anything, which did ok in tests
