I was trawling through the for sale ads on one of the kit-car sites - and found this beastie - an impreza turbo engined porsche 956 replica - see it at http://www.ricola.co.uk

mmmmm, nice. Scooby powered speedster.

I do remember reading in some VW mag about someone slotting a scooby block into a classic shape VW bug. Did try and persuade my brother that he wanted to do this, or stick a porsche turbo engine in his bug, but he was having none of it.

Personally I think a porker or scooby engined vee dub camper van would be awesome!

Ok - so I can't add up - to quote the website its a "Replica of a Porsche 1957 356 speedster" - the number may be a suspect anyway - as its got bits of 911, 944, and Beetle ( a (1)936 Porsche? ) in there

What ever happened to the "Fierce Dolphin"?

Mark,
the 956 was the Le Mans winning car driven by Derek Bell for one. It was later developped into the 962 that dominated Le Mans in the mid 80's.
