Can you tell me if there is a listing of Porsche internal project numbers? If so, can you tell me what project numbers 310, 621 and 925 included?
Jeff
The only thing I could find was type #'s. Type 925 was the Sportomatic and it was broken down for the various models. #'s around 310 were involve in the tractor. 616 was the 356/912 engine in various guises. 632 was and experimental 356. Everything else is not listed in those # ranges.
Dave
Type #s eh? So was the 914 listed at Type 47? Nothing like 'internal project numbers'?
No,
It was listed as the 914 but 914 was used multiple times. 914 in 1968 was a study of a 4 cylinder air-cooled dohc engine. 914 in 1969 -70 was the production 4 cylinder car. It appears there was no designation of the 4 cylinder cars after 1970. 914/6 in 1969 - 70 was the six. 914/8 was the 914 with the 908 engine. 914/11 was the tailshifter tranny. 914/12 was the side shifter.
There were 3 designations for 916. 916 in 1967-68 was a dohc racing version of the 901 engine. 916 in 1968 was also a 5 speed tranny for the 908/01 and 908/02 engines. and 916 in 1971 was the 2.4l 914/6 we know.
I seem to remember that the internal project numbers also were assigned to development for outside interests on a contract basis which was a great source of cash flow. I know VW had a standing commitment for a certain amount of development each year.

I read it in 1988 and as far as I recall there is not a listing of project numbers.
They do reference certain projects though along the way.
That said, I only trust my memory so far.
