Right. That’s what I’m thinking, too, if it’s even possible: oil channels in the head. I don’t know if that’s even a thing, but with Williams and Mezger in this, you never know. I imagine Mezger will get a kick out of this project either way; on some level, I imagine it’s a bit of vindication for him—pushing the…

Also, every air-cooled Porsche has had at least one oil cooler...

Yes, understood, but the heads aren’t oil-cooled in air-cooled Porsches; they’re finned and get cooled by the air that flows over them that the fan pulls in. Porsche itself has said that there’s inadequate surface area for air-cooling a four-valve-per-cylinder head. So my question still stands: How are they going to…

I have no idea how they’re going to make this 100% air-cooled while having four valves/cylinder. Porsche tried that with the 959, but ended up using water-cooled heads because temps got too high. I’m curious what the solution will be here. Thoughts, anyone?

100% agree. Would really urge you (and others) to read this: http://www.thedrive.com/opinion/7324/the-way-we-talk-about-autonomy-is-a-lie-and-thats-dangerous?iid=sr-link1

Wrong. You can easily look it up on Wikipedia. McLaren PR will happily corroborate that information. Don’t be a troll.

Been waiting for someone to write about this. Thanks, Raph.

Meta.

Good point. You’d be surprised, though—I imagine there are a handful of other automakers whose racers still use hydraulic lifters. Tony Roma, Chief Engineer for Cadillac, told me over the summer that their Pirelli World Challenge cars use hydraulic lifters because the rev ranges are relatively low on them, and that…

Plus, it can’t just be extra weight—I’m guessing this is to avoid valve float, too.

This is misleading. There was no 964 GT1—only 993-based GT1s. The engine block goes further back than the 964, too.

It’s a thing of beauty. How much have you lowered it?

Anyone else notice how loud (obvious) the piped-in fake audience applause and screams were?

Will it baby?

Also, can I get un-greyed or what?

Couldn’t agree with you more. This is a great way to spend a ton of money and ruin a car.
