56k. WORTH THE WAIT!
well, i'm pretty much still recovering from being at the track for 4 days! now i need a weekend to recover from my weekend! anyways, there was a Porsche 980 there this weekend and i got sick of seeing the same stupid press photos that everyone else takes. so, i took my own:
let's start with the engine bay. hey, note... it's filled with Mobil 1 right from the factory!
![]()
let's get a little closer in and also check out that nifty location for the tool kit!

![]()
nice Sachs adjustable coilovers on each corner! i've seen suspension geometry like this only on Formula cars and prototypes:
![]()
brake lights, backup lights, and that one on the right glows if you really gas it hard! lots of carbon fibre here!
![]()
big yellow brakes! nice! also note the right side center locking nut is blue:
![]()
these lights remind me of a gatling gun. very cool!
![]()
hey, who makes this thing anyways?
![]()
the left side locking nuts are red. very cool!
![]()
get a little closer in:

let's move back to get a better pic of those wheels and tires:
![]()
note, the badge is recessed into the hood! clever!
![]()
even the wheel wells are carbon fibre!

you can't quite see it, but this cool crap has to do with a sensor for the transmission fluid for something or another:
![]()
ground effects fresh outta the Group C program... made out of carbon fibre of course!
![]()
right side, and check that phattty tie tread:
![]()
intake... reminds me of a prototype race car with the radiator and oil cooler angles:
![]()
note the steep angle to ram air over to the coolers:
![]()
carbon fibre sill, carbon fibre tunnel! and check those nice pedals out!
![]()
dash is totally Porsche!
![]()
check the speaker location, along with the power windows and mirror adjustment:
![]()
emergency kit?
![]()
hey! put that blue cap on right!
![]()
somewhere down there hides a cylinder head and a bunch of neat electrical stuff. it's covered by carbon fibre for now though!
![]()
let's get another look at those Sachs coilovers:
![]()
and thus ends our tour of the Porsche 980! i hope you've learned something new!
