Porsche 996 with a Front-Engine 1,200+ hp Twin-Turbo LSx V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Gary Reid from ShowTime Entertainment Group loved Porsche 911s and powerful V8s. So he approached Aaron Gregory at Memphis Hell Fabrications to create a one-of-a-kind Porsche 911 (996) called “ShowTime Repco-Mod 933” with support from Repco. Rising out of the frunk is a twin-turbo 427 ci (7.0L) LSx V8 capable of 1200+ hp (894 kW) on E85 fuel. Backing that is a Bentley ZF 8HP eight-speed transmission and Holden HSV GTS independent rear end. The powertrain swap resulted in a 52/48 weight bias. The extreme exterior is thanks to a custom aluminum widebody kit and carbon fiber roof, bonnet, and doors. It is covered in Toyota Land Cruiser “Sandy Taupe” paint and accented by a custom set of Rotiform wheels (18×9.5, 18×10). The wild interior features carbon fiber Recaro seats cover in Porsche Pepita fabric, MPI racing steering wheel, and a custom pedal box.
