Looks like it would drop right into my Boxster. Wonder if they have a spare they would sell cheap....

Thanks so much for that awesome link.
Back in 1995 I had the opportunity to visit the Benetton Renault F1 factory in Enston, England now called Renault F1. Let just say it was a full year of car or race **** all in one day Just have a look at my pics. The team was getting the cars ready for that weekends F1 race at Silverstone. There was a lot going in inside.

Here is a pic of me with Michael Schumachers front nose. I've always wanted to be an F1 car. This is as close as I'll ever get

It takes a host of mechanics and engineers to light the Renault V10. The guy in the dirty white coat was at the time(1995) Michael Schumachers #1 mechanic Max Fluckiger. The guy in the shirt and tie is a Renault F1 Engineer. When this thing was lite is shook the building. It was very loud and way cool

Here's a pic of Michael Schumacher's steering wheel made by Personal of Italy. Back then most of the telemetry was not on the wheel, but on the dash. Even so that wheel cost about $5,500 each at that time Can you imagine what the F1 steering wheels today cost?

F1 cars are so awesome. When they are torn down they are smaller than you think.

That's an insane video. I wonder why they don't have direct injection?

Reminds me of the Honda F1 commercial where the guy in the engine test room starts to day dream and the exhaust and manifolds start to glow like a camp fire

Excuse my ignorance, but why does it sound like it is shifting?
