Porsche 911 gets upgraded with a Chevy Corvette engine

It’s no secret that most of Porsche 911 fans scorn any attempts to make their car any better, arguing that it ships in the top condition from the factory. Still, precious few like to experiment.

This Porsche 911 has received quite a bunch of upgrades, but the spotlight undoubtedly belongs to the new LS3 V8 engine, which has come to replace the stock 6-cylinder inline motor.

The LS3 V8 saw its market debut with the premiere of the Chevrolet Corvette 10 years ago. Initially capable of 430 hp (321 kW), it can deliver up to 500 hp (373 kW) when installed on a Porsche 911, bringing it on par with the current top-spec Porsche 911 GT3.

Apart from the new “core”, the tuned-up sports car received an aerodynamic kit by Prior Design, an exclusive lacquering and a set of wheels with golden finish.
