Type 916 Engine — A Rare Piece of Porsche Engineering
The Type 916 engine represents one of Porsche’s most distinctive engineering chapters. Originally developed in the early 1970s, this flat‑six unit was conceived for a small series of high‑performance prototypes and special‑order vehicles. Its character is defined by a compact architecture, responsive power delivery, and the unmistakable mechanical clarity typical of Porsche’s air‑cooled era.
This particular unit has been carefully preserved and remains in excellent mechanical condition. All major components are present, and the engine reflects the authenticity and craftsmanship associated with the original production period. It offers an opportunity for enthusiasts, restorers, or collectors who appreciate historically significant drivetrain components from Porsche’s development lineage.
