JV911 Posted 10June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 10June, 2015 After a morning's testing, Keen popped a 1:35.5. That's 7.5 seconds off the fastest lap in Laguna's last 911 GT3 Cup race, but 0.75 second quicker than we've seen a Ferrari 458 Italia lap with a pro driver at the wheel. For a further comparison, the 918 did a 1:29.89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 11June, 2015 Report Share Posted 11June, 2015 they must of had a price drop;http://www.topcarrating.com/2011-singer-porsche-911.php Founded in 1958 by Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth, Cosworth's sole purpose was to engineer and build high performance engines for Formula One race cars, however the iconic racing-engine builder is undergoing diversification on a major scale with new forays into the performance aftermarket at their 'Center of Excellence' in Torrance. According to Ken Anderson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Cosworth, LLC, the international market has long been searching for a "modernistic retro" vehicle that has the style, attention-to-detail and true definition of quality to gain global stature. "Our partnership with Singer is about taking that level of detail even further," said Anderson. "As the exclusive engine builder for Singer Vehicle Design, we have the ability to provide a unique array of powerplants – making for a very exclusive arrangement."Cosworth is working closely with engine designer Jae Lee of Mirage International in San Diego, CA in specifying and calibrating these air-cooled creations. And, with Cosworth's precise engineering and development capabilities focused on optimizing the classic flat six air-cooled power plants, SVD is able to offer a full range of engine options, with three tiers of performance levels:· Touring – 3.6-liter engine, producing 300 hp· Sport – 3.9-liter engine, producing 380 hp· Cup – 3.9 to 4.0-liter engine, producing more than 425hpThese engines will present state-of-the-art thinking and development in all areas of the Porsche® air- cooled unit with optimization in cylinder head design, fuel injection, intake and exhaust, to name but a few. Together, Cosworth and SVD plan to eventually brand these "Singer Cosworth" engines for aftermarket sales opportunities.

JV911 Posted 11June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 11June, 2015 Would this be using the original 3.6 as a base? yep, although apart from the crankcase there isn't a lot of original stuff left The 996 GT3 (and possibly the GT1 & 2) used the 964 crankcase so it's up to the task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 11June, 2015 Report Share Posted 11June, 2015 i always wondered if you could make an aircooled motor from scratch using GT3 crankcase, mahle pistons/barrels, cnc heads etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
