Unique Porsche engine takes Daytona 24, It's a Cayenne V8 Options

[Maltese Falcon]

A new engine tuner, Ayton Performance, operated by Ethan Bregman, has pulled off a novel win for the Action Express Racing team at the Rolex 24 Hour this weekend. It's in the Grand Am prototype category running a 5.0L V8 Cayenne n/a engine. Almost stock except for the usual race hardware, a cool hand fabricated intake plenum, and the removal of the variable cams (not allowed in this spec).
The carbon fibre engine and cam covers really make you look twice...is this really an SUV motor ? Major props to Ethan with his flawless debut (and overall win) with another Porsche Daytona victory.
That's one very cool tupperware crate for hauling that engine around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Jake is right.......we all know that Porsche is reluctant to allow the more balanced and quicker Cayman (If the 911 and Cayman had equal powerplants) to get the same power as the 911GT3 RSR. Can you imagine the car that the boys from Weissach would come up with being able to work on the Cayman? The Ferrari would have no chance, I am amazed that the GT3 RSR does as well against the Ferrari's (Thanks to an unbelievable Flying Lizard Team & Drivers). Also the comments from the drivers about how much easier it is to drive the mid engined platform. At some point I wish they would give in and build a monster Cayman and enjoy the fruits of a fine mid engined design. I own a 911 and a 914 the 911 will still live on.

Jake is right!
