In the thrilling world of automotive passion, Larry Chen unveils his masterpiece - a Porsche project 17 years in the making, with a conversion that kicked off 12 years ago. This beast of a car defies convention, lifting a tire on street tires during hairpin turns, showcasing the raw power and engineering brilliance that Larry has poured into it. Starting as a modest 3.2 Carrera, this Porsche has undergone a remarkable transformation, shedding its stock features for a high-performance setup that includes carbon bits and a unique lightweight carbon wing crafted in collaboration with Son of Cobra.

Under the hood lies a Long Rod 3.6 engine, meticulously fine-tuned with Mala Motorsport pistons and cillo rods, delivering a jaw-dropping 360 horsepower and 285 foot-pounds of torque - all while running on ordinary pump gas. The engine setup boasts a GT3 crank, GT3 oil pump, and a 997 cup intake manifold, embodying a fusion of power and precision that sets this Porsche apart from the rest. With a weight of 2,300 lbs and a custom fuel cell, the car is a true marvel of engineering, featuring KW competition dampers and Brembo brakes that ensure a thrilling driving experience.

The exterior of Larry's Porsche is a sight to behold, with BBS E88 wheels, Yokohama A52 tires, and hand-shaped flares that hint at the car's racing pedigree. Custom bodywork, including a modified rear fender and roof yellow bird-inspired bumpers, adds a touch of aggression and style to this already formidable machine. The titanium GT2 muffler and functional rear bumper vents not only enhance the car's performance but also showcase Larry's attention to detail and commitment to pushing boundaries in automotive design. Plans for a flat bottom and hidden diffuser reveal Larry's unending quest for perfection, solidifying his Porsche project as a true work of art in motion.
