FOR REPLICA BUILDS
Four-cam engines for replicas.
Building a replica of a classic Porsche? We offer newly manufactured four-cam engines and components for your project. Our programme is for replica manufacturers, workshops and private builders.
Together we review the engine specification against your chassis, transmission and installation space, from the planned build to the agreed scope of supply.
Explore engines for replicas01 / OUR COMPONENTS
A remarkable history.
Down to the last part.
From the crankcase to the vertical-shaft drive. Explore our components and discuss the right specification with us.
01Crankcase
The foundation of the engine. Reproduced cases for demanding four-cam projects.
02Cylinder heads
From reconstruction to the manufactured component: a core part of our development work.
03Crankshafts
Precision at the centre of the rotating assembly. Specification and interfaces are agreed together.
Vertical shafts & drive
Components for the distinctive drive of the four overhead camshafts.
05Intake manifolds
Connecting the induction system to the cylinder head, matched to the agreed configuration.
06Fan stand
Components for the fan drive assembly, matched to your engine project.
Further components and references on enquiry. Suitability for your engine type, scope of supply and lead time are confirmed individually.

Understand
the original.
Build with precision.
It begins with the component. Through 3D scanning and design, we make its geometry usable again. Manufacturing data, tooling and new components follow.

- 03Manufacture & inspect
03 / WHAT DRIVES US
Driven by conviction.
Since the first part.
Retro-Design 3D brings together a passion for historic engines, engineering and manufacturing. Our journey began with a cylinder head and led to a complete four-cam engine.
The first cylinder head is scanned and reconstructed.
Retro-Design 3D GmbH is founded in Mössingen.
The first vertical shafts are manufactured.
The first complete four-cam engine is finished.
For people who understand engines.
We work with engine builders, restoration workshops and private owners. Engines for replicas are an established part of our programme. Replica manufacturers and builders can discuss their project directly with us.
