That is a 935. All it needs is some martini stripes.

(and some minor bodywork liposuction)

Ok, that makes more sense.

I can't imagine they made the entire shell out of aluminium though. It sounds like they used it for some of the body panels and other exotic alloys such as magnesium alloy for the wheels.

i.e. the monocoque shell will still be made out of steel?

Thanks for posting. Didn't know such a car existed. Very special indeed.

The first Turbo was a gift to Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and mother of Ferdinand Piëch, and has a number of unique features. There is a badge delete, a 10k RPM tachometer, and an un-tinted front windshield so Louise could paint from inside her car.

930 Speedster
