Porsche 356 Silver Bullet Hot Rod is truly unique

Based on a 914-6 chassis

Porsche 356 Silver Bullet Hot Rod, 654, 22.11.2012

This 1955 Porsche Silver Bullett Hot Rod is based on a 914-6 chassis and has a mid-mounted RS-spec 3.0-liter 911 engine that produces 279 hp (208 kW).

Built in 1992 by Australian Jeff Dutton, the hot rod's body is based on a 1955 356 Continental Coupe but with a longer wheelbase and a chopped roof. It has Weber carburetors and a five-speed 915 gearbox, along with 17-inch disc wheels and 718 RSK-style side vents, driver's side mirror, transmission and engine access covers. The stopping power comes from the 934-sourced ventilated and drilled discs.

Inside it gets green leather bucket seats and a wood-trimmed steering wheel, while the instrumentation comes from VDO, with some of the dials borrowed from a 911. The side windows and windscreen are made from Plexiglas, just like the porthole that provides a nice view of the engine.

Minibikers do the Valencia GP

The Valencia GP was the final round of the 2012 MotoGP season and it was a difficult race for the riders, not only because it was run in wet/dry conditions and the championship title already assigned to Jorge Lorenzo, but because it would be the last race for many before switching teams, moving elsewhere or like Casey Stoner who retired.

Check out Minibikers latest cartoon version of the race which no doubt it will put a smile on your face, especially the final sequence. Enjoy the video.
