One of Lanzante's F1-powered Porsche 911s has received a livery painted by its owner, an ex-F1 driver.
. Announced in 2018, the TAG Turbo combines a Porsche 930 body shell with actual F1 engines, specifically the 1.5-liter V-6 TAG Turbo units developed by Porsche and used by McLaren in the 1980s.
Johansson was one of the drivers for McLaren in that period, and the SJ87 has the engine that powered his MP4/3 F1 car in the 1987 Austrian Grand Prix. Things didn't go well; the Swedish driver totaled his primary car in a collision with a deer in practice, and then lost a wheel in a pit stop during the race, finishing seventh. But the engine was in its ultimate form development-wise.
The engine also makes plenty of power. Estimated to produce around 750 hp in race trim, the turbo V-6 has been detuned to a more manageable 503 hp for use in the 930 road car. It's connected to a 6-speed manual transmission from a 993-generation 911, which directs power to the rear wheels. Lanzante estimates a curb weight of 2,248 lbs, not including the driver and fuel.
