This POLO Engined 912 Out-911s The 911

5/26/201410:56 estFiled to: For SaleBy: Bradley Brownell

The original concept for the engine in this car was drawn on a bar napkin by one Mr. Chuck Beck (of replica spyder and 904 fame, among other things). The way he tells it, his fiberglass Beck Spyder was only legal for a certain class of competition if it carried a Porsche-based four cylinder engine, and he figured he could get a lot more power out …
