Dillon Stevens<\/a> owns a special Porsche 944. The project started at Motor Werks Racing<\/a> where they specialize in 944 builds. The company transformed Dillon’s 944 into a 924 GTP Tribute car using a familiar livery and unique powertrain.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the project is a turbocharged 1.8 L Audi 20v inline-four. MotorWerks Racing installed the Audi motor using their swap kit<\/a>. The motor benefits from IE forged rods, AEB big valve head, IE camshafts, dual valves springs, titanium retainers, and BorgWarner turbocharger. It produces 410 hp (301 kW) and 330 lb-ft (447 Nm) of torque to the wheels through a Porsche 987 transaxle and MotorWerks Racing axles.<\/p>\n

The 1,835 lb car rides on a suspension featuring MotorWerks Racing steering rack with ERP 997 toe links and Bilstein 10-way adjustable shocks. The rear suspension uses a Porsche 996 subframe with RSS two-piece control arms and RSS adjustable toe links. MotorWerks Racing also added their sway bars front and rear.<\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/a><\/p>\n

On the body MotorWerks Racing installed a 924 GTP one-piece nose and GTP composite quarter flares. Everything was painted black accented by the timeless John Player Special livery. Inside the interior is stripped featuring a Momo steering wheel, six-point roll cage, and Racetech seats with OMP harness. <\/p>\n
