- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing: WEVO Porsche in Europe
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. Each project has been unique in its scope and purpose, yet each has featured a design overview that could only have come from Burvill.

I’ve been working on the promo campaign for the TwinSpark RSR brakes from Zuffenhaus in the USA.
If you’ve not been following the brake story, Zuffenhaus set out to make proper high-end cast reproductions of the legendary RSR brakes from the early 1970s, using traditional methods of production, with modern internals from the 911 Turbo parts catalogue. They didn’t just succeed in their task, they went beyond all expectations. Brake testing has shown exceptional stopping power and our first full race with the brakes fitted brought us a win. Enough said!
We have these excellent brakes available from stock now. They’re not cheap, but development costs were high, and our finished product is beautiful. They’re not as much money as others [...]
