FORMULA 1 Engine in a Porsche 911? | Lanzante TAG Turbo

For this episode I am back at one of my favourite places, Lanzante, taking a drive with owner, Dean Lanzante, in the most incredible Porsche TAG Turbo.
I get up close and personal with one of just eleven Porsche 911 Turbos fitted with a F1- raced engine from Nikki Lauda's McLaren in 1985!
Dean talks me through the history of the car and what inspired him to build such a special car!
Thanks to Lanzante for the drive:

This F1-powered 911 is crazy! What other F1-engined road cars should I find?? 👇

[@Carsaddiction]

Remember the Renault Espace in the 90s?

[@AleksandrHalas]

F50, CARRERA GT, 300SLR, Bmw 02 Series, 33 Stradale, OX99-11

Ford supervan. Been a few iterations over the decades.

[@cocheshiperdesportivos7181]

Bmw m12

[@simeonorive145]

Alfa Romeo 164 pro car? (Although its not a road car officially) from 20 feet away it looks like one :) Love your channel mighty cars great content and your infectious enthusiasm.

WHY COULDN'T WE GET JUST ONE PULL!! SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN INTO IT! I was dying to hear that thing at 9000 rpm...

[@boeing900]

A bit harder? Even half throttle would have been a lot harder.

[@maxmoller]

@@boeing900 True 😂

[@thirsty_everest]

That's because the sound and performance would have been utterly disappointing if he gave it the beans. If it was exciting they would have shown that!

[@KleanKarClinic88]

Love that Jodie just lets these people talk and absorbs every second of it. Another great video. What a very classy bloke Dean is.

[@scottgregoire2093]

No she doesn't she talks over the guy all the time she's actually quite annoying I hate people that go yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know what you're saying before you've even said it she's not even listening to him he's thinking what she's going to say next

[@jakefiersing]

@scottgregoire I don't agree. It is her job to think about what to ask him next to keep the conversation going on interesting. So it is only logical that she cannot listen as intense as we can. Her job is not as easy as you might assume. And to agree to the content someone delivers is a gesture of appreciation, not doing that is to be considered as being impolite by many people.

[@UberLummox]

[@paulgoode5245]

[@radicaljohn1]

The power up to 1500 revs was amazing.

[@JM-wi7jj]

😅. Obviously, a bag shat will break down over 36mph

[@PuerRidcully]

They cut out all the useful revs from it too, so I wonder how the power curve looks like.

[@tomquinn607]

Was it? Damn I fell asleep!

[@cameronmcdowell5899]

Pump gas, 3bar at 9000rpm =? 600hp?

[@C42ST3N]

@@cameronmcdowell5899 Remember that it only has 1.5l and it is detuned. 600hp is a a bit high i guess. That is still 400hp per liter, which is still insane.

[@friktionrc]

“….an F1 engine ….out of Lauda’s F1 car” …..and that’s when I fell in love 😂😂 Such a stunning feat of engineering to make it all work and then draped with an absolute drop dead gorgeous exterior and interior….😍😍😍

[@PetSKi67]

And it’s a legit Porsche engine as well, which is another mental aspect of the build.

[@andrewnickischer6895]

Agreed

[@gww730]

This is amazing. I remember hearing rumors back in the 90s about Ron Dennis daily-driving some sort of top secret, F1-engined 911. Something to the effect of "I saw him in Woking driving a white 911, with Ruf wheels, that sounded like it had something crazy under the hood". It sounded a bit far fetched, yet here we are!

[@martinclapton2724]

You can’t help but admire this car. The colour , the stance on its wheels, sounds the business, looks the business. Fabulous,

[@paulfinch5417]

The carbon treatment to the front boot is simply stunning …

[@davidpattison5860]

Hi Jodie I’m constantly amazed how all these car guys you get to interview, sit beside etc are all so humble and seem so genuinely nice grounded gentlemen , Not seen many of your videos for the last month or so but will get round to catching up soon , have to say you’re looking really well Regards Davy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇹🇭

[@ParlorMan_Acoustic_Guitar]

You’ve done it again Jodie, my cheeks ache from 24 minutes of smiling

[@jamaisvu2664]

She should have told him to hit the revlimiter at least once. Now I need a video of it flat out

[@stefmarr]

Absolutely stunning!! What a humble man, and what exotica he has to work with. Unbelievable

[@StevenVanLoven]

I Love these older Porsches , even more the very special once . Thanks again ,fantastic !

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

Glad you like them!

[@windronner1]

I truly enjoy the connection Jody makes on a cultural, configuration and technological level. With every contact. Without overworking the nerd quotient. Really well done. My only question is service, parts etc.

[@canary444]

Beautiful, and the car looks stunning aswell.

[@paulkrapp]

Very enjoyable video! The interior trim in that 911 is perfect period correct! I remember the 80's 1.5L V6 Turbo era. Thanks Jodie!

[@KiddinaSweetShop]

It's stunning inside and out!

[@frits8986]

My God, this has to be one of the best looking 911’s ever

[@Fester_]

Almost mesmerising. Thanks for that, both of you.

[@automotivetales]

A company I’d never heard of doing the MOST incredible stuff (for decades too)… I am in love with this. Is it the ultimate 911?! I think it might well be 🤯 I love that you’re a a real petrol head, pausing a super interview to be completely distracted by the pop and crackle of an exhaust… because that’s literally what we were all thinking listening in! Would love to hear this let lose on track but presuming that’s a customer car so being handled with Kidd gloves (ha!)?

[@23gps]

This interview has to be my favourite so far, both for the conversation and the car: stunning to look at and sounds glorious.

[@raymondmerkx3195]

Cool episode Jodi, the Enthusiasm and Pasion you bring is amazing. 👍🏻

[@KleanKarClinic88]

I’m glad it’s not just me. Comes across really well!

[@edmatthews9235]

Thats not just a 911 but a 930 or poss m491. Well done that color is amazing. I would still be worried about a rebuild with such and exotic F1 engine. All in all this is amazing. One has to admit that No other car has more companys making different iterations of the Porsche 911 930 from this to Ruf, Singer, Tuthill and about 50 others. A true testiment that the 911 is hands down the best Sports car ever produced.

How did I miss this episode?!.... literally one of the most desirable and beautiful special Porsches I've ever heard of or seen. Amazing work by Lanzante!

[@KirkVSSpock]

What a great video ! What a car ! Is it me or I feel a certain emotion between you ? ;-) Very smart man, eloquent, humble, very interesting. My only regret is not to have heard this historical engine revving at 9k rpm ! I would have loved seeing you at the wheel of this nice machine

[@MickPsyphon]

I've only just discovered your channel, when this video came across my feed. Putting Lauda's F1 engine in a Porsche 911 is wonderfully barmy. I love it! He's quite imaginative! Jodie, you really are a proper gearhead! I'm subbing! 🍹😋👍

Exterior color and the seats in this thing are amazing.

[@shirleyboy8859]

I worked in the Paddock back in 1984 when Paul Lanzante was running a car in the "Thunder Sports" Series. We were running a Lola T610....And we chatted many times..... Many years later while working for McLaren I saw those engines stored in a grotty little storage unit in the backstreets of Woking.... It made me sad to see them just sitting there.....(in racing cases covered in dust).... It seemed a terrible waste..... It is so good to see that Dean has brought them back to life.... And using them as the Racing Gods Intended..... Great video once again Miss Jodie..... Bless ya....... :-))) xxxxxx

What Lanzante do is incredible with the all the race to road legal conversions on stuff like the F1 and P1 GTR/LM conversions. Didn't they also do the one Aston Martin Vulcan conversion? Never knew they did porches though. But their Clients have the type of money that no project is out of reach 😂😂🔥🔥

[@Thou1]

No, I think RML did that. They work to the same standard as Lanzante but do more for OEMs etc. as well.

[@nrakma]

Watching the F1 Turbo era was exciting. The short lived engines, with spectacular explosions, redefined the term “reliable”. But I guess when you make 1,500 HP from 91 cid, by throwing in a ton of boost, with a dash of nitro and a on/off throttle switch, all kinda things are gonna happen.

[@alfaubrom]

Hello Jodie, I vaguely recall one of the HWM,s running in F1 then engined changed possibly to a Jaguar C type an cycle wings attached for sports car raceing, Many HWM,s had different lives F1, F2, refitted with all enveloping bodies sports cars an Hill climb specials. Someone else suggested the Ford DFV engined original Supervan, wasn't there a Renault Five the mid engined one, one of those ran a Renault F1 engine. Colin Chapman use to lend Jenks lotus specials for him to use over Christmas sometimes with certainty.F 2 engines. A great idea to follow from this brilliant tag turbo, cheers
