This months’ 911 & Porsche World magazine is now on sale.

The issue features the carbon fibre-bodied WEVO 912 with the GT3 Cup engine. This car is extreme and the new gold standard in early Porsche hot rods. We call it PVX.

WEVO is a name to conjour with in Porsche circles. Hayden Burvill has set closed-course speed records with Norbert Singer and the Carrera GT, engineered the Brumos Porsche to race wins and helped to design multiple-race-winning Indy cars.
