Video: A Very Special Porsche 911

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Autohaus

Check out this very special 911 from our mates at Tuthill.

It’s a historic 911 rally car, complete with a 3.5 litre motor that pumps out 365hp, dog-box (developed with a little input from Autohaus Hamilton) and a lithe and sprightly curb weight of around 1000 kilograms. Right up our alley!

The video is from Drive‘s Chris Harris, who has a ball banging around in the car, interviewing Richard Tuthill and waxing lyrical about what makes these machines so special to drive.
