1968 GP Projects RS60 Spyder – 133bhp JMR Engine, Berg 5-Speed
A beautifully built and highly specified GP Projects RS60 Spyder, inspired by the legendary Porsche 718 RS60 Spyder.
This is not a standard replica or lightly modified example. It has been developed with a strong focus on performance, drivability and mechanical specification, including a JMR-built 1, 914cc flat-four producing approximately 133bhp, a Berg 5-speed gearbox and Quaife differential.
The result is a lightweight, characterful sports car that combines the classic proportions and competition-inspired appearance of the RS60 with considerably more performance than the original Volkswagen-based mechanical package would suggest.
The car
Built by GP Projects in 1968, this RS60 Spyder has the look and character of Porsche's famous sports-racing cars of the period, while retaining the simplicity and usability that make these cars such enjoyable road cars.
The 1. 9-litre JMR engine is one of the highlights of the specification, producing around 133bhp. Power is delivered through a Berg 5-speed gearbox and Quaife differential, giving the car a far more capable and engaging drivetrain than a conventional example.
With its low weight, open cockpit and rear-mounted flat-four, the driving experience is wonderfully direct. It feels mechanical, responsive and properly analogue in a way that modern sports cars simply cannot replicate.
