GTC60 Porsche 911 - SWB

911 SWB BoP for this pack: (R-Gruppe physics inspired on the 67' 911R with a 2.0 from the 906 and SWB body) Considering the 911's competition record, it is hard to imagine today that it took Porsche four years to develop the first real racing version of the six-cylinder engined car and then abandoned it after only a handful of examples were built because the sales department feared the 500 examples necessary for homologation could never be sold. Although now forced to run in the prototype class, the 911 R still showed its worth both in rallies and on record runs. Before creating the 911 R, Porsche did offer substantial support to customers who wanted to take their 911 circuit racing or rallying. At Weissach, the first order of business was to shed as much as weight as possible from the base 911. The steel shell was retained but all removable panels were replaced by fibreglass examples, the floor boards were extensively drilled and the cockpit stripped from all unnecessary bits including the interior and exterior sound-deadening. Porsche's engineers were well versed in lightening cars and wasted no opportunity; all hinges were cast in aluminium, the door handles were not plated
