Porsche Indy V8 engine

The Porsche Indy V8 engine, designated Typ 9M0, is a 90 degree, four-stroke, turbocharged 2.65 litre V8 that Porsche designed, developed and produced for American open-wheel racing. It ran in the CART PPG Indy Car World Series from late 1987 to 1990, first in the Porsche 2708 chassis and later in several cars from March Engineering, the 88C, 89P and 90P. Development was led by Hans Mezger, and the single turbocharger followed Indycar rules. On methanol fuel the engine was capable of about 800 bhp at 11,200 rpm. It is also one of the Type sections of the wider family of Porsche V8 engines and the first of the racing V8s in that line.
