Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Engine No. 3380210
Porsche's air-cooled flat-six is an iconic engine known for its distinctive sound and performance. Introduced in the mid-1960s in the Porsche 901 (later 911), Porsche's nearly timeless flat-six also found a home in the 904 Carrera GTS and later, the 914/6. This engine layout features horizontally opposed cylinders, providing a low center of gravity and excellent balance. Its air-cooled design eliminated the need for a traditional water-cooling system, reducing weight and complexity. A favorite among enthusiasts and racers, its reliability and performance, its place in automotive history is secure as one of the most iconic powerplants ever produced.
This flat-six was acquired at the same time as the other engine currently on offer.
