Back in the 1980s, Porsche supplied twin-turbo V6 Formula 1 engines to the McLaren Formula 1 team under the TAG brand name. A single Porsche 930 was built with this engine, unmodified from F1 spec as a test mule. That car, mostly stock from the outside save for some Ruf-sourced wheels, remained a one-off, kept in museums and shown at various events throughout the years. Well, it won't be a one-off for much longer, if Lanzante has anything to say about it.

The British firm famous for converting McLaren F1 and P1 GTRs into road-legal cars announced at Rennsport Reunion VI last year it will produce 11 more copies of the TAG V6-powered Porsche 930 using real, actual Porsche-built TAG engines used in F1 races during the 1980s. Yes, that's right. Lanzante said in an Instagram post it got "permission" from McLaren racing to go ahead with the project, and Engine Swap Depot reports it's already purchased the engines from McLaren. Each car will come with plaques mounted in the engine bay listing the engine's 1980s race history and drivers, which is super cool.

Pistonheads got a chance to look at Lanzante's first car in the flesh at the company's workshop, where it was given a whole bunch of specs. The units will be able to rev to 9000 RPM, and make 503 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque—around 250 less horsepower than race trim. Smaller turbos pushing less boost (44 psi from 54) are being used to ensure drivability at normal speeds, as well as reliability. It's water-cooled, of course, using radiators mounted in the front bumper to keep temperatures down.

Getting power to the rear wheels is a G50/20 six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. It has custom ratios, allowing the car to hit a top speed of 200 MPH. There's also an electronic climate control system to keep load off the engine, and coilovers to help the chassis handle all that extra power. The car weighs around 2425 pounds thanks to aluminum doors, a carbon fiber hood, and a carbon fiber engine cover.

The car will make its driving debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in early July 2019. Pricing starts at a staggering £1,095,000 (around $1.4 million), though that does include the donor car, which is nice. That's an absurd amount of money for an old 911, we know, but we doubt Lanzante will have trouble finding 11 buyers.
