This 1987 Porsche 944 was the first in a series of lightweight wide-body conversions sold under the name “Widerstandsfähig.” It was completed in 2015 and is powered by a retrofitted 5.7-liter LS6 V8 linked to a 944 Turbo AOR-code five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Features include custom fiberglass bodywork, an adjustable front splitter and rear wing, Lexan windows, adjustable coilover suspension, three-piece 18″ wheels, and a race-prepped interior with a single racing seat. The car was used as a demonstration vehicle at SEMA in 2018 and was one of 15 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary cars, and it has appeared in automotive periodicals and received awards at international tuning shows. The vehicle was sold on BaT in October 2020 and again on the site in August 2023, shortly before being acquired by the selling dealer. This modified 944 is now offered at no reserve with a Virginia title.

The car is finished in red with white vinyl lettering, painted racing stripes, and various graphics. The custom fiberglass bodywork includes wide-body fenders, a front air dam, a louvered hood, and a modified tail panel. The factory sunroof, headlights, taillights, side markers, and door handles have been removed, and Lexan windows have been installed along with tubbed rear wheel wells and an adjustable front splitter and rear wing.

This is a relist after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in September 2026 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner’s participation on BaT has been restricted and their buyer’s fee was not refunded.

The three-piece 18″ wheels are mounted with 335/30 front and 345/45 rear Hoosier racing slicks. The chassis has reportedly been seam-welded, and the suspension incorporates a front strut brace, Tarett Engineering hollow sway bars, and adjustable coilovers with Koni Yellow dampers, Eibach springs, and camber plates. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with Porsche “Big Red” front calipers and a 944 Turbo rear setup with adjustable bias.

The cockpit has been stripped and fitted with a single Kirkey aluminum racing seat featuring a five-point harness. A downsized battery is mounted in the footwell and powers the ECU, fuel pump, and fans, which are controlled via a switch panel on the transmission tunnel. A five-gallon fuel cell and a NOS tank are also located in the passenger compartment.

An LCD display is mounted ahead of the MOMO quick-release steering wheel. Total mileage is unknown. The Virginia title carries a “Not Actual” odometer brand.

The retrofitted 5.7-liter Chevrolet LS6 V8 crate engine has been modified with a 92mm intake manifold and Big Mouth throttle body from Fuel Air Spark Technologies, as well as long-tube headers feeding a dual exhaust system with 3″ pipes exiting through the right rocker panel.

Shifting is through a five-speed AOR-code Porsche transaxle with a SPEC Stage 3 clutch and a 40% locking differential.

The Carfax report notes the aforementioned Not Actual Mileage title issuance.

The selling dealer states that the uninstalled VIN block viewable in the gallery of the previous auction is missing, and no additional VIN stampings or stickers are present on the vehicle.
