Porsche Carrera GT V10 Engine for Sale on eBay Begs the Question: Where Would You Use it?

|

It's not every day that you find a Porsche Carrera GT engine up for sale on eBay, or anywhere else for that matter. This particular example of Porsche's 5.7-liter V10 thoroughbred engine with an output of 612 bhp at 8,000 rpm and maximum torque of 590 Nm (435 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, is said to have clocked a mere 6,000 miles or just under 10,000 km.

It's not clear from the seller's description if the ten-cylinder powerplant comes alone or together with the 6-speed manual gearbox, but the starting price is set at US$103,000 and the 'Buy it Now' price at US$128,000 [~€96,000]. Our question is simple; if you had the money to buy the V10, what car would you use it on? Voice your thoughts in the comments section after the jump.

I would cut it to get five V2s for a Tata Nano, a Citroën 2CV, a Chevy Matiz, a Trabant and a Morgan Threewheeler.

Then would organize a freak racing cup :-p

They're both the same car anyway! Haha, they're not really. I'd put it in a Jensen Interceptor - it would be the coolest car ever, those looks and that power!
