One-off car.
Rebuilt to custom specification in 2011 and upgraded the following year by Kelly-Moss Racing at a cost of well over one-million U.S. dollars, this 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo-based race car was bought by Kelly-Moss on behalf of semi-professional racing driver and racing team owner, Scott Tucker (Level Five Racing Team).
Tucker’s goal was to win three SCCA Runoff class championships including the STO (Super Touring Over 3.0) category.
He commissioned Kelly-Moss to create an unbeatable STO race car.
Tucker would win the class two years in a row.
Fully caged and clad in a carbon-fiber body with roof-top air intake, a widened GT3R nose, and a huge rear wing, this Porsche is powered by a 3.6-litre liquid-cooled four-cam, four-valve boxer six with VarioCam that generates more than 1,000 horsepower with methanol injection.
Paddle shifters control the six-speed gearbox fitted with Hollinger double-width gears and Drexler differentials.
Behind the 18-inch Motegi spoked alloy wheels are water-cooled modular disc brakes with infrared temperature sensors.
Teves 12-position ABS and Multimatic G-valve shock absorbers were state-of-the-art in period.
Motec engine management controls the fuel and spark, and there is a manual turbo boost control. The carbon-fiber interior is fully instrumented and includes data logging and an advanced fire suppression system. A large ATL fuel cell fills the front trunk.
This fearsome club racer may well be one of the most extreme Porsche 911s ever built, and famous driver Patrick Long confirmed that.
