Porsche fans, look away now: Hyundai-powered Porsche

11 August, 2016

 

Yep, you read the heading right — American-based Bisimoto Engineering are building a V6 Hyundai-powered 1977 Porsche 911. Why would someone do such a thing, you ask? Well, when we mentioned Bisimoto, you probably could’ve guessed. As of late, Bisimoto Engineering are known for building mental Porsches, but they are better known in tuning circles for their handiwork with Hondas. They’ve built a 800hp single-cam D16-powered Honda Civic Shuttle, a 1000-plus horsepower Honda Odyssey, and an array of naturally aspirated builds. The 911 Porsche will be built for the 2017 SEMA Show, and, according to the Bisimoto team, will be one of their most insane builds to date. Hard to believe when you’ve seen their previous projects! If you’re a Porsche purist though, you’re probably not going to like it … 

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
