Mike, is it true the CGT was initially designed by Porsche to be  a race car and not a available for public sale? However, after the car was completed, Porsche pulled the plug on it being a racer and detuned the engine in order to make it available in limited quantities to the public. 

Nick,

The basis for the engine was developed for an LMP race car that never reached completion because (IIRC) of a rule change.  The engine was re-developed with larger displacement, but followed the original race-engine concept.
