Lanzante, a company known for its exclusive and extremely powerful restomobiles, has struck again with a new project. Introducing the Porsche 911 TAG Championship, a monster on wheels that combines the iconic 930 Turbo platform with the true power of Formula 1. It is an extraordinary example of automotive engineering that will be available in just three examples, each in honor of one of McLaren's Formula 1 victories. from the eighties.
The beast under the hood of this car is a refined 1.5-liter V-6 TAG TTE P01 engine from Formula 1 that has been rebuilt and refined by Cosworth. The pistons, valves and camshafts have been upgraded and lightweight titanium turbines have been installed, all of which delivers an incredible 625 horsepower (466 kW) and revs up to 10,250 rpm. Such power is transmitted to the wheels by a six-speed manual gearbox from the 993 generation, which allows this retro sports car to exceed 200 mph (321 km/h).

Lanzante also reduced the vehicle's weight by using carbon for the bonnet, doors, wings, roof, bumpers and front spoiler. So now the car weighs only 920 kg, which is about 430 kg less than the original donor car.
Despite the fact that the interior was remodeled in a minimalist way and electric mirrors and windows were removed, Lanzante did not forget about comfort. Light air conditioning, Recaro sports seats with six-point belts are installed, and the driver can indulge in driving with the Alcantara sports steering wheel.
