well, I know at least one other similar car
914.0.43.0376 originally was a factory test car with narrow body and 916-steel roof, equipped with a 2.2 S engine
Porsche used it for chassis stiffness tests - maybe it could be considered as the first 916 pre-prototype car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

anyhow, it run through many modifications during it's live as factory test car, and today it's a 916 clone (flared) with 2.8 ltr engine (grand prix white)

unfortunately I can't tell for sure if it got the 2.8 engine "by factory" or from one of it's later owners


but I still wonder if Porsche had the 2.8 engine in 1970 - or if the seller from 914.0.43.2654 claims that the car left factory later?
I mean, it's a late MY'70 car ...

I'll ask my german friends if anybody knows more about it
