Solved: Wendax 930 - Zynki Power High Speed Le Mans Turbo
« on: June 12, 2013, 02:36:39 AM »
Despite this puzzle being #930, this is not a Porsche turbo.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Well it must be a nightmare to park - or at least I assume the stalks are to tell the driver where the end of the car is.

No idea - must be a homebrew special - North American

A homebrew special, but not North American.

It says "XXXX Turbo" on the graphics. Looks crazy enough to be East European or Russian to me.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Neither VW-based nor from South America

The roof-line suggests a BMW-based racer.

This is the car that comes at the very end of my sports cars list alphabetically! though I suspect others on here may know of others.

Zynki Power Le Mans Turbo, from Germany, circa 2000/2003, 5.5 V10, 558bhp, 990kg, apparently BMW based but the builder seems to like comparing it to Porsches (Carrera GT, 959, 718 etc)

The designer/builder/seller has a website on this car

Yes, based on a BMW 2002 turbo. Full name should be Zynki Power High Speed Le Mans Turbo. Official owner is Zynki's 91-year-old mother. Hard to imagine her behind the wheel.  ;D
