Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsches aren't anything new, but purists still cringe when coming across one of these fat-bodied Neunelfers. And now we're here to show you an RWB 911 for which one middle finger shown to purists is not enough.
Oh no. The machine we have here has dropped its factory flat-six while going for a (are you ready for it?) Chevy V8. That's right - the rear section of this Zuffenhausen machine is now occupied by a Chevy 383.

Come to think of it, we're dealing with a German machine wearing a Japanese bodykit and being animated by an American engine. The crossbreed "made its debut" at a Cars and Coffee event in California.

Held last Sunday, the event saw the RWB machine grabbing the unofficial "queen of the show" title, with the Porscha drawing attention like a giant magnet. And the effect was taken even further once the V8 was fired up, with the oddball soundtrack being a people pleaser.

Interestingly, the build has just been completed when the project showed up at Cars and Coffee. As Seen Through Glass, the supercar spotting label that brings us this clip, explains, the thing had no more than four miles on its odo when it came to the said event.

And while the parking speed maneuvers seen in this video don't tell us anything about the handling of the wicked Porsche, here's to hoping the Californian shop that worked on the contraption took the time to also sort out the handling.

Those of you who are outraged by this 911 wearing a Chevy V8 at the back might want to go for a different recipe. For instance, we've shown you a Porsche Cayman that had lost its factory motor in favor of a Ford V8 - perhaps the mid-engined Coyote melange seems like less of an issue.
