Chassis no. WP0AB29941S685346. Black over black and carbon-fiber interior. 3.6 liter, twin turbocharged methanol injected 1,050hp engine, Megaline 6-speed paddle shift gearbox, all wheel drive, Motec engine management, water cooled PFC brakes, 18-inch Megaline wheels, carbon fiber silhouette body and more.

Condition: Clean, orderly and race ready. A technology demonstration project undertaken by Scott Tucker’s Level 5 Motorsports with Kelly Moss to see just how far a “Porsche 911” could be taken. The answer is pretty far and this is a 911 in silhouette only.

Bottom Line: Staggering performance that makes even a 935K3 pale by comparison. It was bought at the Auctions America Auburn Spring auction disposition sale of the Level 5 Motorsports team in 2017 for $129,250, and the bidders must have gotten more brave since then to pay this much more for it when it will need six-figures of setup, safety and integrity updating to scare a driver silly. It is a wonder to contemplate in its complexity and sophisticated technology. On the other hand in terms of performance per dollar this may be the best value to have crossed an auction block since Auburn Spring 2017. It depends on the outlook and approach.
