Is this a one off or is this going to be a production model? What's the price point on something like this with that drivetrain?

I am very impressed with the talent and diversity of projects I have seen, at least so far as can be in this forum. The fact you are keeping it all running in this economy is no small feat. | |

Fran,
At no weight and 330 bhp, it will be pretty quick !!! Probably one of your faster cars out of the showroom !!!

Brian,
this is not a production car...its a one off.
I did offer anyone else the chance to buy a sister car ...as building two would have made more financial sense..but no takers...
So it will probably stay one of a kind and the other 904 will hang quietly on the wall....

Es ist eine scham!
Not that I would tear down my CS as a "donor".....I'll bet once the "one-off" is shown completed there will be a outcry for production! Beautiful job and I hope the photos show up on the Cayman forum as well.

Original was air cooled.
Cayman engine is H2O cooled.
Radiators? Where? | |

Fran,
Sorry about that, but doing a RHD version might have removed the "two of" principle.
I'd have had to go for the Subaru variety, with a bit less power, but it still might have been fun.
Oh well. | |

Might want to adjust the positioning of the pedals Fran - looks like that brake pedal could really spoil the wife's fun......
If I got molds for an Alfa 33 stradale......??? Put a 3.0ltr 24V verde engine in there?? | |

A liquid cooled 6 banger sounds kinda heavy for such a light car. | |
