A masterclass in custom engineering.
Joey Seely, a renowned engineer from E-Motion Engineering, has transformed a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe into a high-performance machine dubbed “Project Nasty.” Acquired in 2007, this Porsche has undergone numerous modifications over the past 17 years, evolving into a car that blends classic design with cutting-edge technology. Now, this one-of-a-kind vehicle is being offered on Bring a Trailer, showcasing a level of craftsmanship and performance that is sure to attract serious collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The heart of “Project Nasty” is a re-engineered 3.6-liter flat-six engine, which was most recently rebuilt in 2024 through a collaboration between Rothsport Racing and Goritz SixFix. This powerhouse is equipped with Mahle Motorsport pistons, CP Carrillo connecting rods, custom-ground Elgin camshafts, and CNC-ported cylinder heads. Additional performance features include a front-mount oil cooler, ceramic-coated long-tube headers, and a 991 GT2 RS titanium muffler. Paired with a Type 915 close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle, this Porsche is designed for speed and precision, delivering a driving experience that is nothing short of exhilarating.
The exterior of the car is equally impressive, featuring custom bodywork finished in Guards Red, including hand-flared fenders, a carbon-fiber hood, and a spoiler. The attention to detail extends to the interior, where Recaro Pole Position seats, a custom roll cage, and Alcantara accents create a cockpit that is both functional and luxurious. With its custom-built chassis, advanced suspension system, and powerful engine, “Project Nasty” is a testament to what can be achieved when passion and engineering expertise come together.
