WOW WOW WOW !! Amazing feat by designers and engineers at Porsche. 😎 😍 ❤️ From Porsche AG 917 Living Legend In just six months, a small team from Weissach developed a tribute to the 1970 Le Mans winner. The concept utilises adaptive aerodynamics and is painted the the Salzburg livery of the original. Under the Carbon Fibre skin only state-of-the-art technology is used. The chassis is based on a carbon fibre Monocoque. The front and rear suspension are based on 918 super sports car components, utilizing motorsport-inspired linkages and pushrods. A turbocharged eight-cylinder engine with up to 1,000 PS provides the power. A drivable prototype has, however, never been produced. Year: 2013 Engine: 8-cylinder Bi-Turbo Displacement: 5,000 cc Power output: 551–735 kW (750-1,000 PS) Top speed: > 300 km/h

If I am not mistaken that is my good friend Tony Hatter in the middle!!!

Is the engine an air-cooled flat-12, though?
