- Comments Off on TwinSpark Racing Porsche 911 RSR Brake Pictures
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 want [...]

- Comments Off on First Race Win for TwinSpark 911 RSR Brakes
We’ve just won our first race using the Zuffenhaus RSR brakes, now in stock and on sale through the TwinSpark Racing online store.

Racing on our home circuit was fun. Though Leonard in the Hulk has the advantage of a 3.0 RSR engine on MFI, the genuine Porsche ’74 RSR calipers and the wider track of Hulk, Lex’s long-time race craft, the light yellow RSR and slick tyres gave an advantage that was played to full effect.
Winning with products we saw the potential of before they were ever built is a delight [...]

- Comments Off on Hardcore Porsche 911 RSR in Black
I’m currently down in San Diego CA, working on some Porsche features with legendary car photographer, Jamie Lipman.
I’m typing this from a friend’s house. As I sit here in the den, looking out over the mountains and the border with Mexico just a few miles away, I’m reflecting on my notes for the feature we shot this evening. This is the Porsche 911 RSR of our amigo, Mike Gagen.
Mike has owned the car for over ten years. It’s been through a few iterations. Currently the car runs a 3.6 motor, highly trick with a flowed case and heads, Carrillo rods, modified cams and so on. The body features lots of fibreglass, including some mucho sexy bolt-on rear [...]
