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.

TwinSpark Racing is the European distributor for Hayden’s Porsche parts. Not only do we [...]

Leonard has just put WEVO engine mounts into his 996 GT3 and is super impressed with the results.

“Mounts are finally in and what a difference it makes! The car feels like new, no wobbles in the back anymore and reduced vibrations, believe it or not!” says the TwinSpark frontman of his new equipment.

Factory engine mounts are a comfort-centric compromise that allow some engine and gearbox movement in spirited driving. This movement can lead to a lack of complete control, as the drivetrain shifts out of harmony with the chassis. It also places additional stress on the suspension, already working hard at controlling the car.

Minimising excess drivetrain motion is a Porsche Motorsport priority. The factory fits solid engine mounts to its race cars, to firmly connect the drivetrain and chassis, maximise suspension control and enhance accuracy [...]
