Momo visited the Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca, bringing along the 356 RSR Outlaw, a special project created in collaboration with Emory Motorsports with the goal of becoming the ultimate incarnation of the classic sports car.
The project hasn’t been completed yet, but that didn’t stop Momo and Emory from displaying it at the event. If the proportions look a bit off, it’s because of the chassis: Rod Emory’s goal is to marry the body of a barn-find Porsche 356B Coupe to the platform of a 1990 964.
Inspired by the legendary 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR, the finalized version of Momo’s and Emory’s 356 will be worthy to wear the RSR designation.
The more modern 964 underpinnings come with the ‘right’ suspension pick up points in order to provide the traction and braking dictated by the custom twin-turbo 2.4-liter flat-four engine. Developed in collaboration with Rothsport Racing and TurboKraft, the 911/4 twin-turbo four features new engine casings, a custom crankshaft and a billet aluminum camshaft housing. A set of individual Rothsport throttle bodies and a fuel rail controlled by a Motec engine management system are also present.
The 356 RSR Outlaw is also featuring a 935-style boost controller mounted on the dashboard, allowing the driver to adjust the engine’s output from 325 to 375hp. With a target weight of sub-2000 lbs (1,000 kg), it’s going to be a wild ride for its lucky driver.
A set of 17-inch Momo Heritage 5 wheels with original 911 RSR centerlock hubs are fitted with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires, while the brakes are a combination of Porsche 964 and Brembo calipers and rotors.
When completed, the interior will pay homage to the Porsche sports cars of the ‘60s, featuring a Momo Prototipo steering wheel and a Heritage Line Targa shift knob, along with custom-built seats trimmed in fire-proof red cloth.
