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.
