I still think this is the way to go--968 Turbo S engine

http://968turbo.homestead.com/Number3.html




This was the "mystery car". I spoke to Gerd Schmid at the Porsche racing department and he told me the car was in England. I searched for two years and finally Gary Hill gave me a lead and sure enough, it was in England. The car is black with pink and purple blobs and is affectionately known as "Bubbles". It was purchased new in March of 1994 and raced in the 1994 BPR series, driven by Erik Hendriksen and Justin Bell.



The car is currently being maintained by Russell Lewis, owner of RSR Engineering (Porsche garage) and contributor to "911 & Porsche World" magazine. Russell tells me that the car has 7000 km on it and has never been crashed. Other reliable sources indicate that the car has had many "incidents" and blown engines. Another source once told me that the car was totalled and all that was left were parts, but we know this is not true. So maybe this car is still a bit of a mystery!



Russell says the car has all the endurance mods including 120 litre fuel tank, air jacks, leightweight parts and engine output increased to 440 bhp!
