A Porsche 356 is already exclusive enough. But an Australian company leaves the classic by installing a Aircraft engine (Radial engine) become even more exclusive. The engine comes from an Australian company called Radial motionwho use the Porsche 356 Outlaw as a kind of “test bench”. The Dry sump four-stroke engine has three cylinders (Bore x stroke 99 mm x 86,5 mm or 101,6 mm x 86,5 mm), which are arranged at a distance of 120 degrees, and is available as both a water-cooled and an air-cooled version. Currently there is a cubic capacity with 2,0 and 2,1 liters to disposal. And a variant with charging is already being planned. The performance is unknown, but approx. 100 hp per liter of displacement one expects. So the power should be somewhere between 200 and 210 hp. The compression ratio ranges from 8,5: 1 to 11: 1 and the weight should be in the range of 75 kilograms (165 pounds) to 95 kilograms (209 pounds).

And why all of this? Nick Mebberson, head of Radial Motion: "The engine was designed to be an airplane engine, but we realized that with a few minor tweaks, it would fit in a car too. That made testing the prototypes for the aircraft easier and safer for us, and it made the vehicle more fun". And the first car selected for installation was a Porsche 356 Outlaw. It was a perfect candidate because the aircraft engine weighs less than the production engine and at the same time delivers more power. The dimensions of the engine are with 330 mm x 776 mm x 606 mm very compact and they even improve weight distribution.
6-, 9- and 12-cylinder engines are also to come
The 356 Outlaw pictured here is with a air and oil cooled version of the radial motion motor. The engine was also already in one VW Bus and in one VW Beetle Installed on a trial basis. And the Radial Motion team also tests 6-, 9- and 12-cylinder engines as well as V2, V4 and V6 variants. And all of this just to become even more exclusive.
