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).
To effectively stop at such speeds, they installed upgraded carbon-ceramic brakes with four-piston calipers front and rear, hidden behind 18-inch magnesium and carbon wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. 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.
Although the price for Porsche 911 TAG Championship has not been revealed, we can say with certainty that due to the unique body and priceless engine from Formula 1, the price will be well beyond the limits of ordinary cars. But those who can afford it will own an extraordinary piece of automotive history and engineering.
Conclusion: Porsche 911 TAG The Championship is more than just a car; is a tribute to the heritage of Formula 1 and an engineering masterpiece. By creating this vehicle, Lanzante proved that in the world of restomobils, innovations are still possible that exceed expectations and bring pure automotive joy. This is a car for collectors and motoring enthusiasts who appreciate history and power in one refined form.
