We saw this earlier on Final Gear and were hoping a news outlet would have some more info for us to go on, but since we can't find anything else to go on, here's what they're saying:

"3 Engine prototypes have been stolen out of Porsches development center, 2 conventional engines and one "engine of the future". The parts have been found in the Techart garage. four people are in jail, two leasing-managers of porsche, and two customers. Porsche now sues Techart for theft, Techart says they bought the stuff with a bill and thought everything was ok, but found out, that the engine wasn´t the promised 997 Turbo engine, but something else (they were fascinated), so they gave it back to the dealer, and it was found there. If it´s true, Techart will be out of the buisness, because Porsche never delivers parts to someone who did something "strange" with them....Right now, the only facts are, the engines disappeared, popped up at Techart......that´s it."

Anyone able to read German and figure out heads or tails of this -- let us know, because we're just plain confused. – Ray Wert

Wow, way to be on the cutting edge of investigative journalism, or something, images/smilies/lol.gif. So TechArt "accidentally" bought a stolen prototype engine? Yeah...

Well, in the game of engine swaps, i've heard worse.

Because of Initial D, I can't even count with the two hands I have the number of folks that want to swap Formula Atlantic Engines (The 4A-GE (20-valve)) into their AE86's and the ensuing shitstorm that happened after that. Either your on the side of the fence where "LOL, it doesn't exist" or "GTFO!! you cheapass ricer."
