GTP: 1986 Porsche 962 Engine Warmup
If you listened to yesterday’s Porsche 956 engine warmup audio, you might have noted the slightly staccato, somewhat silky quality of the twin turbo 2.65L flat-6 motor.

Today it’s time to listen to that motor’s evil twin, the single turbo, air-cooled 3.2L motor in the back of Hotchkis Racing’s 1986 Porsche 962.
It pops, it growls, it snarls, and at times, it even rumbles like an American V-8.
We move our microphone around a bit to hear the different ancillaries — the turbo (at 1:06), the valvetrain (at 1:16) and the air cooling fan (at 1:53) to revel in the brilliance of Weissach’s iconic endurance powerplant.

GTP.com contributor Terrance Seto attended the 2009 Monterey Historics races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca this weekend and came back with a bunch of great shots. The featured marque this year was Porsche, hence most of the pictures taken are of the different variations of Porsche’s 956 and 962.
